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

Easily one of the best games on the platform. The writing is stellar enough that I'd suggest it even if you aren't into NTR themes. The only issue I have is that the game isn't complete, but what's already here is substantial and it hopefully will be finished eventually.

Oh, wow... Thats how you write believable charachters and tell an NTR story. No magic dicks needed, no god-tier sexual abylities out of nowhere, no rape addiction, no brainless npcs.

Review:
The creator clearly understands what he is doing, how and when to trigger the right events to feel natrual.
Also something very important that many devs underestimate is the understanding of the scale, that you can actually manage.
This game has only 5 locations, but much more depth, quality and content then many many games on this site. (no offense meant, just something to think about)

The female characters not only behave, but also look different. No perfekt barbie dolls with different heads.

Corruption is not the typical degeneration patch. YES, the characters get highly corrupted and addictet to all sorts of fetishes, BUT their values, goals and personalities evolve step by step, because besides the relationship, there is allways a world around, thats something rarly is considered in NTR games.

Last thing is weird to say about a porn game, but I like the humor the most about this game . Let's be honest, it's not hard to get porn of any kind, but something that makes you laugh is rare (at least to me) and I want to point out, it's not only about the writing, the visual comedy in this game is just hilarious.

Without doubt, this is the best writing in any game I've played here on F95. What's so good about it is that Nitrolith understands very clearly that it's not just the body types or sex positions or art that make sex scenes hot (but trust me, all of that is amazing here too), but that the psychology and mindset and feelings of the participants really matter and add to how hot a scene is. I could write a whole essay here but I'll keep it brief instead, but the fact is that the writer understands so well the psychological circumstances that drag everyone to debauchery and corruption. That's what really jumped out at me from my first time playing the first release all the way to now, and that knowledge of the characters and their mindsets and motivations has only deepened now it feels like. Nitrolith understands what can make sex and especially corruption so hot better than anybody else I've seen on this site. Wonderful game, apart from some spelling and syntax errors I have no notes and those feel like incredibly minor nitpicks in the grand scheme of things. 5/5.

This is quite possibly the best written game on here. I do not say that lightly.

The premise is a touch cliche, but thats the point. The game is a subversion of the 'hero harem' genre that you see so much in japanese media these days.

The writing quality blows 99.9% of games here out of the water.
Characters are well fleshed out, realistic and all with their own motivations, characteristics, mannerisms, quirks and most importantly - flaws.
The author does a great job of portraying both male and female psychology, especially with cecille and elena and mars and erin.... and yvette.

The story is somewhat of a slowburn, but it has fantastic pacing. The corruption is slow, insidious and VERY well written.

The plot is very unique, and i honestly was surprised by some of the directions it went. (Its pretty rare for me to be surprised by a story these days)

The game isnt afraid to take quiet moments with each character, aside from the main plot. This lets us players have intimate moments with each love interest, and it really makes each character stand out.

The scenes start fairly tame, but were always drawn with a decadent feeling to them. The scenes get progressively more depraved the longer you play. I found some of the middle/later scenes to actually be very fappable.

There are a LOT of fetishes in this game. It just so happens that all of them do it for me, but if some arent to your liking, the game doesnt force any of the especially wierd ones on you... too much.

The artwork is really impressive. It isnt on level 'my pig princess' but it IS unique, and has only gotten better and better since the dev started creating this gem. Characters faces are very expressive, and his surreal anime style is really hot to me. The art has a dirty, gritty, wet, sticky feel to it - what i mean by that is that for many sex scenes in games the scene takes place in a clean room with mostly clean characters. THESE scenes look humid, and the characters end up looking sweaty and dirty and overheated - like theyve ACTUALLY had good sex.

The music is actully amazing. The sad scenes have sad music, the happpy scenes have joyful music, the dark scenes have eerie music - just like a proper game you might buy on steam. The sex scenes actually have hot music. There is one in particular that i actually downloaded into my sex playlist for personal use - its that good.

Lastly, the dev works his/her ass off to get regular updates out, and doesnt cheese patreon. The dev is pretty active on discord and gives feedback and updates on progress regularly.

The best NTR game there is. Has femboys, milfs, dilfs, queen ntr, gf ntr, childhoodfriend ntr, mother ntr and all other imaginable forms of ntr and most importantly a good artstyle and story. 10/10 There are some things that don't make 100% sense and the story isn't complete, but is still enjoyable and you don't notice them as long as you don't go searching for them.

It's a deceptive corruption tale that slowly evolves into seductive corruption tale and metmorphosizes into erotic romantic tale at its finest hour...

Foreword (I came across this game by sorting thru high rated games on this site and here's my opinion on whether such high rating is warranted or not and whether you should play it or not. ENJOY)

I'm a proud handholding, pat-giving, hug seeking, kiss-loving fucko. I tend to stay vanilla and typically avoid heavy themes like corruption because they feel forced and mess with my morals.... So why am I here??? Simple, game is highly rated and I want to see if this rating is warranted. (Check Verdict section) Hint: Don't do yourself disservice by sleeping on this beauty.

How is this unique?
= Most corruption games are barebones compared to this. It doesn't rely on the common algorithm of blackmail/mindcontrol/forced etc. nonsense.....nope it utilizes the power of WORDS.

Majority of this game plays kinetically where we just spend time with LIs in pillow talk.
MC understands them better and devises plan to get what he wants. Now most games stop here and are like ok...time for pump and dump...mission accomplished right????

Tis' game takes it to next level by giving us a MC who actually cares about the situation and the LIs...MC isn't a creepy fuck.....nope...He HAS morals to some extent. He gets disturbed, he has sympathy, he understands the consequences, he is not there just for fucking, he feels human.


Pros:

1. Art really grows on you, it's really hot! Characters are beautiful <3
2. Plot is super nicely done (basically you are trying to break apart a party that is responsible for killing the demon race).
3. Characters are multifaceted, each with their own agenda and strengths/weaknesses.
4. Writing is so fucking good. MC is super cunning with clever banters.
5. Humor is really well done. MC isn't afraid to make jokes that might offend LIs and LIs are literally the same. This is what I love!!! They don't just say shit to please each other...they are real!
6. Music just hits different. It is so well chosen and H-scenes are fire with it.
7. Sfx are pretty hot.
8. Clean UI, Gallery, cheats, version jumps etc.
9. Sandbox H-scenes are pretty nicely laid out.
10. Some scenes are very touching and made me tear up.

Cons: Honestly, none. I really enjoyed everything. I'm just looking forward to things that are gonna get implemented like better fight mechanics.

1. I would really really really love more wholesome shit down the line. Especially for LIs that suffered alot like Sera and Elena.
2. More Vi content. She seems very special to MC so I would love it if we get some time dedicated to her.

Verdict: Abso-fucking-lutely pick this up! It took me 25hrs to get thru this 0.4.7 and it didn't even feel like it.

(Insert Palpatine Voice) We will watch your career with great interest....

Go play it already

Edit: if you want a better articulated version of what the game and MC is really like: MCs character (I would highly suggest giving it a go)

The story is quite entertaining, very good animations, scenes and excellent characters, I would like more to be added and the information book to work better, maybe a little confusing in some parts of the game but it is incredible, totally recommended if you like this genre, This game is really very good and very interesting, we just have to wait for the following updates.

Hero party is one of the best crafted, well think and planned visual novels I've ever played, the attention to detail, the well crafted characters, the narrative pace and plot has been done magnifically, I'm in love with this game.

Very detailed story, unique art and good animation, consistent work and dev feedback, updates are always full of content. This game and dev are exactly up to standard. Each character is interesting and the story is captivating at each point. Nitrolith gives you everything you want from a good NTR game.

great story, great characters, great dialog, amazing pixel art, and incredibly lewd. Hero Party Must Fall is a staple in the trainer/corruption genre and is one of the few Netori gems out there. I think it might be a solo dev too which makes it even more amazing.

What a game... Everything here is top tier: the girls, the art, the story, the CORRUPTION...
Probably the best corruption game here, there's a lot of dialogue but trust me it's worth it and the game keeps improving. Play this game

The story is genuinely interesting and it gave a me a good laugh many times. Some sections are more like a visual novel atm, but I don't think there was anything I didn't like about this game. Peak corruption genre and art style imo. Also the music was randomly kickass during some of the scenes

Hero Party Must Fall stands out as the pinnacle of the corruption genre, based on my experience. Its captivating story keeps players eagerly anticipating what's next, and the pacing of progression is nearly flawless, striking a perfect balance. The characters, a standout feature of the game, are rich in depth, with unique personalities and personal ambitions, making their roles in the story all the more impactful. The game's developer clearly took great care in crafting each character, ensuring that they are distinct individuals rather than mere clones with minor dialogue variations. Additionally, the natural interactions between characters, complete with shifts in behavior, personality, and dynamics, are another element I truly appreciate. The game's art direction is another area where it excels. In contrast to many 3DCG games I've experienced, this game manages to avoid the common issue of rigid and unnatural character expressions. Instead, it offers a level of versatility that allows characters to convey their emotions solely through their facial expressions. This not only enhances immersion but also breathes life into the characters, making them feel more authentic.

While there's much more to praise about this game, I only want to emphasize its standout qualities. Overall, it's a captivating experience, one that can hold your attention for hours on end without a hint of boredom.

best corruption NTR games out there, i have played more than 100 games in this site.

Short reason: the way the pacing build up. the way that even when the girls have fallen, broken, submited and corrupted, the stories continue, it further downs the plot, like what happen when other people found out and stuff. it truly shine as a corruption games.

Best game i've ever played about mature content.Pure gem out there rooting for better future for this game.Good luck devs do your best.Elena is the best girl!!!!
+i'm very eager to see feminization content to progress for future updates

This game is amazing. Touches a lot of fetishes (though the main ones are netori and domination); even if you're not a fan of netori, it's worth a look for the interesting story and the great art, because to be honest, this story really goes places, and the characters are not all as you might expect. A definite recommend, and it's not even finished yet.

[4.7 Update]

The game follows a demon lord follower who aims to destroy the Hero's party (surprising, right?). He enters the party and corrupts all the women who, unsurprisingly, have a thing for/with the Hero. Won't spoil the rest (that's what experiencing it for yourself is for)

The Excellent:

This is genuinely one of the greatest games on the site. The story, characters, and themes are top-tier. The story is a nice twist to the "hero defeats the demon" storyline. It humanizes the amount of pressure people with these expectations would likely have. The MC cleverly uses these pressures alongside their personality traits to corrupt them. Unlike other games, plot armor is unnecessary for sex (i.e. drugs, mind control, blackmail, rape). The main character, for all he is, is relatable and has a moral conscience. This is your guy if you like a "bad boy" MC.

The themes I was most interested in were: Corruption, Cheating, Harem, Male Domination, Male Protagonist

*This game is Netori, not Netorare (NTR), meaning MC steals the girl, not the other way around. * If you are a c*ckold, you are probably not the intended audience for this game, but I hope you give it a chance. *

The Okay:

The only area in the game I would slightly change is the mini-games, which can be grindy.

*You probably won't like it if you are not a 2dcg fan.*

The Bad:

Nothing. Its a 5-Star IMO for a reason

Overall:
I have to say the creator has the talent to create amazing games. If you want to spend a few hours on an excellent game, this one will not disappoint. If it does, we probably wouldn't get along

Wow...
I played this game way back when the first version came out in 2021 and didn't think much of it. I thought it was going to be another haphazardly thrown together story and setting just to have an excuse for, and glorify, the creator's fetishes. Little did I know how huge this game would become to me. The story, characters, design, and art have all grown so much since the initial release and they all work together to become one of the best games I've gotten off this site, if not the best. When I finished this latest update I was so confused looking at the icon on my task bar, because it was hard to believe this game with all it's weirdly deep designs and animations could be made on the same engine as all the dime a dozen games that I enjoy but don't leave an impression. I'm literally on the edge of my seat to know what happens next not just because it's fantastic porn, but because it's a fantastic game.

edit: Also I'm not a fan of ntr, but this game has so much more to it than that.

tldr: It leaves an impression

I would say this game is a goat in NTR. The well-designed theme, along with interesting and exciting scenes are just too much for play.

I have played for over 30 hours, and I still have a lot of content left.

But if there is one thing to make this game even more special is that, this game has so far the best storyline I have ever seen in any other games, I am not saying that other games are not good in storytelling.

I would simply say this game has its merit, a very special one, I would rate this game 100 out of 10, impressive work, I subscribed the patron right away.

Thank you for creating such a masterpiece.

By far the best corruption game there it is on this site, and one of the best VNs in general. The overall plot and world is very well built and written, the corruption aspect of the game fits beatifully with the story that is being told and flows naturally in tandem with the game progression, giving the player a sense of reward as the consequences of his degeneracy propagates towards the ending conflict.

The main and side characters alike have very good designs, the demons especially are too hot for their own good. The main girls have very distinct personalities, and it positively surprised me how different each one reacted and dealt with their corruption, varying accordly to their own flawed morals and beliefs. The MC stands out as well, that despite commiting heinous acts each and every update, he still somehow manages to fell empathetyc and beliavable, in spite of how tragic and destructive his path is.

The art is great throught the entire game, and specially shines during the lewd scenes. The scenes in general are very well crafted in dialogue, art and animations, and the ones where we reach a breaking point in corrupting a main girl, when the heavy music starts playing and the beat syncs with the animation loop, is one of the hottest i've ever seen.

I'm not a fan of minigames and sandbox but in this game they don't get in the way, there is little to no grind and the world is easy to navigate. My only gripe in this aspect is how most of the time you have just one event to do per day, so a few seconds are wasted in skipping to the next, but thats just a minor nitpick.

So hyeah, obrigatory game for every AVN enjoyer IMO.
