Ren'Py - Hero Party Must Fall [v0.5.1] [Nitrolith]

+ I like how the creator takes the development of the story, because it is slow you can see the change of personality of the girls and see how they fall under your hands.

+ Instead of feeling bad for the cuckold you will want to make him suffer.

+ Risky situations and all the fetishes featured so far are great.

- There is not much dialogue when you try to talk to the characters in the day.

- The dungeon minigame is not necessary (It's annoying and that's why I never played it).

What I would like to see added: I would like to see risky situations with Sera and more fetishes, (especially towards the hero's mom).

All netori fans should play this game.

a well-written slow-burner. you´ll enjoy the characters, and how they are bouncing off on each other, even when it's not a ready game yet. they are all memorable.

usually, i skip most of the reading on slow-burners... for some reason, i didn't on this one, it's rare occasions when I get a feeling that i shouldn't.

it's one of those games that you enjoy reading, but you will only play once, too. it's like a book.

however, the gameplay portion is not ready yet, as expected from a game that is not yet ready.
i am not even sure should this game have a repeating minigame like that.



definitely should have ntr tag on it.
the Hero will never have any female gender in his party ever again. even if it´s his mother.

" It makes your butt look really fat.
- So? it accentuates my body? And? "

Clicked for about 5 minutes as fast as I could. Not one single choice. This should not be in the games category. Wouldn't even call it an interactive comic. Music. A few images. A bunch of unintriguing text. Absolutely no personal agency. Maybe a "game" portion happens eventually, but with line after line of boring writing, I don't see a reason to click for another 10 minutes to get to it. With an intro this tedious, there's no excitement to see where it goes.

I read everything from complicated 1000+ page novels to comic books. So this isn't due to just a short attention span. It's just a bore. Any good writing needs to hook the reader from the beginning. And any good game should have some immediate intriguing choices to draw the player in.

The writing is top notch, the animations are top notch, i truly recommended. If you can, support the developers. Looking forward to new updates. one of the best writings i ever read in a game of this kind. And the game is actually netori not netorare. so if you don't like ntr, feel safe to try this one.

I saw the reviews and wondered, why the hell do people keep raving about the story in a trainer type gameplay.

It usually is a red flag since story is so subjective and never lives up to my expectations.

I must admit however, the corruption story here is actually well written, believable and has a sensual quality to it, to the point it does edge out the obvious flaws, which is that the game is not even close to finished.

Given enough time, I have no doubt it will probably be among the top contenders for the new gen best trainer/corruption type games out but for now 3/5 until the day/evening cycle and other characters are useful.

And it is bumped up to 4/5 for the pretty interesting night system.

Script might be the best I've ever read. I'm not going to talk much about artwork I'll just say that it also is the hottest thing I've ever seen. The interaction between the characters is more believable than I thought it would be which is the main reason I rate the game so high. This is honestly one of my top 3 games which is pretty hard to achieve as I've played quite a lot.

Am i missing something? I usually love training and corruption games but there is so much missing here. There is one time cycle (you can skip day dungeon because writer says its not ready yet) so you click skip skip time to night then click the girl and then click an action and do nothing watch some stuff go up.
Not much else? This girl is hot as fuck i agree but like she hands herself to you in the beginning so where is the tension or build up?
I MUST be missing something!?!
Why is there 80 almost 5 star reviews?! What is going on here.

A lot of love and care went into making this games story, characters and animations. I constantly look forward to this games updates, throw some money at the Devs patreon so they can keep making this high quality story and top notch lewd animation.

It's still on early stage but already has a lot of amazing content to show.

+ Good animations and art, if pixel graphics don't bother you
+ Interesting story so far
+ Fun gameplay

I can't wait for future updates.

The art style and animations are amazing. The writing/story is also very good (the girls don't lose their minds right away for a change). Those two things turned this into one of my top games instantly.
Also even though it's only 0.3.0, there's a fair amount of content.
Now, the minigames are fairly rudimentary, while the available choices seem to be quite irrelevant. So, the game's more of a story (or a VN).

Love the artstyle and the writing is top notch. Can feel a bit grindy sometimes but the game is engaging enough in its current state that i hope with some work it can turn out to be something excellent. Good Work!

Finally, a game focused on netori, there are too few on this site. It's probably one of my favorite fetishes so nice to see it getting the love it deserves. And this game delivers on that love. This review is as of v0.3.0, so there are some cons I'll mention that the game dev will hopefully fix or expand on.

Story/Dialog - 5/5
The story is truly the selling point for this game. I would recommend it even if it was a simple VN with nothing else added on to it. The characters all have unique voices and personalities, and it's great to see the way they interact with each other. And the slow but gradual corruption of the main priestess is perfect. I love the demon queen and her mischievous personality. The story and dialog are really great and I would recommend this game for just this. The only complaint I would have is that Vi is supposed to be your partner and the person Mars relies on but there's very little interaction between them.

Gameplay - 3/5
There isn't a lot of gameplay and it's one of the things the dev is going to expand on in the game. The game is structured as a sandbox with a day/evening/night cycle but I don't really see the need for it. The story is linear, and the few side activities you can do are basically pointless. There really needs to be a lot more added to justify the sandbox. The game feels like an empty husk hanging onto a wonderful story.

The only reason I'm not giving the gameplay a 1 or 2 out of 5 is because of the nighttime sex minigame. You have multiple positions and varients to give or receive pleasure and the goal is to provide enough pleasure to break the curse. It's not hard at all and basically works as jerk-off material.

UI/Aesthetics/Music - 2/5
The game looks like a pretty simple renpy game. There's not a lot of polish to it, if you've played another renpy game, this one will look familiar. There is a gallery which I appreciate. The music is good and works well enough for the story, although it's nothing special.

Art/Porn - 5/5
I'm a fan of the art. Looks like an anime but with the artist's own style thrown in there. And the animated scenes during the nighttime minigame are so hot. There are multiple scenes available for both girls during the minigame. I have a hard time deciding which one to watch sometimes, there's so many good ones to choose from.

Overall - 5/5
Obviously, there are some issues with this game. But I'm hoping the dev is going to expand on some of the gameplay issues I talked about. That is really the biggest flaw in this game, but if you're a netori fan like me, you'll love this game. Even if you're not a big netori fan, the corruption of the priestess into doing lewder and lewder things is great as well as the submission of Sera. I would really recommend this game if corruption/maledom are fetishes of yours.

Great game great art with a fantastic story there is like a little something for everyone here to BDSM to maybe in the future even femboy from what I think the story is building up to looking forward to future update loving the game so far 10/10

Story is too good. Characters are complex and have unique thoughts and desires. There is a fine line between sounding preachy/angsty and actual empathy, and this game does it well. Hopefully the author keeps this quality up!
The art might seem strange, but it's actually very well done.
Easy 5/5.

Just got to the end of the most recent content (v0.3.0). I have to say, the game really puts the word 'novel' in Visual Novel.

I'm honestly very impressed by the quality of writing. More than the gameplay itself, I was very captivated by the effort and attention to each character's personality and ideals. Their motivations are complex and their lines of thought are compellingly and sympathetic. Even though the game is built to be like a trainer, it far exceeds any I've played so far. Its writing is mature, well reasoned, and handles difficult subjects with tact that's usually lacking in these kind of games.

What I find most interesting is the game's focus on self-discovery and consent. At no point does the main character force the women into doing anything they don't want. There's a lot of unhealthy manipulation involved, but the characters are generally never forced out of their comfort zones. They always choose new experiences out of their own volition. In the same vein, the curse mechanic that's pushing the plot never makes them act against their will. It drives them to understand their own buried feelings and desires. It also pushes the characters to be more aware and sympathetic of each other.

I highly recommend this to anyone who actually plays VNs for their story. For the people who have no interest in reading whatsoever, you're not going to like this game. None of the scenes are going to make sense to you out of context and the training minigame is going to feel absolutely endless without the story to buffer it.

The art style is truly excellent and makes me want to love this game. However, I'm giving it 3 stars for two reasons: one, the language use is a little odd. A lot of the turns of phrase in this game read like they're translated from another language, and it's awkward. Two, more importantly, the sex minigame is overwhelming and stressful. It looks super hot, but it moves way too fast and there are like 5 different, confusing gauges that fill and deplete without any clear rhyme or reason. Once you click a position, it just starts moving super fast and you never have an opportunity to enjoy the art, let alone masturbate to it. Even from a gameplay perspective, it's unclear how to perform well. My advice? Keep it simple. The sex minigame doesn't need to have compelling gameplay; it should be a vehicle for awesome sex art. Let us feel like we're controlling what happens and that's all we really need.

I think this does have a lot of potential. Despite what I said, what I can glean of the story and the characters is charming and engaging, despite the clunky language, and I can't stress enough how excellent the art is. I will definitely keep checking back as this game develops. Good luck!

Art 10/10
Sound 6/10
Music 7/10
Gameplay(Alpha) 5/10
Story 10/10
Overall 9/10

I went Hero Party Must Fall intrigued by the style but ready to be disappointed. Thankfully this game went above and beyond my expectations. The actual "Gameplay" is nothing to write home about at the moment and in my opinion could be taken out entirely until ready to be fully implemented. What really sucked me in was the unique art and animations that evoke a mix of JRPGs and western pixel art to create erotic art.

Of the girls implemented there is something for everyone but I find it hard not to like them all. The person they do make it hard to like is the "hero" Erin. But not in an overt in your face way, its more subtle. This game is about cuckolding the hero but it doesn't center the story around that particular fetish (Thankfully). Our protagonist Mars, and the rest of the crew do an excellent job sprinkling in lore rather than dumping it and the story and background are layered in naturally. The story is shaping up well.

The sound design is... present. Its nothing spectacular but it doesn't take away from any of the scenes so, it passes.

The music has some hidden bangers and generally suits the mood of the game at the time.

The Minigames I interacted with as little as possible once I saw what they had to offer once. Not bad but not great.

All in all definitely worth a play if not at least a few dollars for the creators hard work.

This is a masterpiece.
I usually read dialogues really fast and kind of spend less than 1 second if not more than 2 lines by only watching at key words.
But here i slowed down and red everything, which happens almost never due to the lack of interest in the story or because of poor script.
Well done, good character evolution and behaviour.

Rooting for what's coming in the future !

Considering that work on this game has only started half a year ago, and it is only v0.3, What has been done is pretty impressive. The length is definitely much longer than I anticipated from the version number, the writing is solid and engrossing while at the same time having many comedic moments that hit the mark, the art style is unique and each picture kinda has the feeling of a painting (though it doesn't use the entire screen for some reason). The main critique I have is that the number of dialog choices you have is very limited. Still, I highly recommend this title and can't wait to see it mature and become even better .

An excellent game so far.

- An NTR game that many can enjoy (Hero is a pure self-centered asshole, so it feels like karma to make "his" girls cheat on him)
- Female characters are hot and MC is alpha.
- Graphism are quite unique.
- Story wise it is simple but efficient enough.
- The teasing and slow corruption of the girls is probably the best thing about this game, it is just so good !

However, like any other game, it has still room for improvement : Dungeon part is useless, environment interaction is very limited.

4.9/5
