Ren'Py - Hero Party Must Fall [v0.5.3] [Nitrolith]

If you're looking for a good netori game with a slow burn, THIS IS IT. The characters are well designed with distinct differences, and it's easy to get attached to them. The scenes are hot and the story itself is well written.

Even in such early stages (v 0.2), Hero Party Must Fall is already a must try.

The story is laser focused on its netori themes, knowing exactly what the players of such a game want to see.
The exact premise has been used a couple of times before, but the general concept is still pretty fresh.

The writing is by far its strongest point, and that's not because the rest of the game is weak: it's because the characters and their dealings are just that well crafted.
You will really feel like you're there, doing the world a favor by cucking the most annoying brat ever imagined.

The art is both charming and functional, oozing eroticism from every frame. If you like pixel art, you'll jerk off to this one.
It even has some nice animation going on.

Great sound design, too. The music and the moans really convey the seediness of the situations.

As far as I can see, no bugs or performance issues of any kind. Still, I've read in the comments that you should avoid any clicking during the transition scenes, so maybe look out for that.

Right now the game isn't exactly overflowing with content, but the dev seems to be working fast and to keep in touch with their community, which is very promising.
And, in any case, there's already enough story to get a solid couple of coooomings out of it.

One of the most promising games in the netori niche. One of its best aspects is the slow burn corruption, which precious few netori games have. Hope the dev adds more locations going forward other than a bedroom (Just around a corner while the other party members are busy fighting , or behind a door while the "hero" talks to sera etc) but other than that, top notch.

This is great netori man. Nothing get me harder than cucking petty insecure little bitch like this "hero", much better than netorare when good honest men get the short end of the stick. Bonus point that the male protagonist isn't some stereotypical asshole "bull" either.
Can't wait till the day priestess realized that getting paired with that creepy ass loser "hero" was the real "curse" all along. It's something that's decided for her too not by her own will so the mc actually save her from both "curses". 10/10 .

Aww man I suck at doing reviews, and I cant really add wat hasn't already been said but here we go... The art style is amazing, the audio AMAZING, THE STORY.... AMAZING, I honestly can't find anything to fault this game on. Its only a 0.2 and I mustve gotten at least 2 or 3 hours out of it. 10/10

Excellent animation, great writing and story progression, and well developed characters. This is gonna be one of the greats for certain.

The NTR is probably one of the strongest aspects of this game, for obvious reason. It's always fun to cuck a loser, but when that loser happens to be a goddess chosen psychopath incel it's even better.

Icredible game, lots of content, good writting, speedy uploads. The game promises numerous fetishes and it really feels like it will deliver on them. The animation puts special enfasis in the amount of fluids spilled and that feels nice

This game has it all 5/5 must play. If you liked NTRlegend and Summer Memories you will like this game.

This is a very rare 10/10 game, and it might just be my favourite.
To put it simply, the writing, art, and animations are truly excellent.
The characters aren't one-dimensional, even if the game is netori ( = you steal someone else's girl/s) the main character is very likeable. I can't overstate how surprising and refreshing that is.
I say you just give this game a chance, it doesn't beat around the bush and you'll very quickly realize wether or not you like it.

im very torn about writing a review so early on, since the game is currently in an very very early state, but i have to rate it so more people get to support it, by seeing the amount of stars.

The Art has a style i like a lot that reminds me of a retro aesthetic.
All of the characters look pretty good and i even like the Art a lot of the MC, the gaze he has fits him very well for the situation he has been put in, and fits the dynamic a lot between, raised demon that has to act human vs the priestess that is too kind.
The foreplay scenes so far also look very good, and have a large amount of details put into them.
Most things are also animated in scenes and all sex so far is also animated.

The Story, Main character, and the dynamic between the priestess and the MC is what caught me the most tho, going between the demon that has been raised to destroy the hero's party and the priestess he has to corrupt, him not really knowing what warmth or kindess really feel like, while he is getting exposed to it by the priestess, being fully aware of what he is doing and sometimes even acknowledging, that what he is doing is wrong, while she finally found someone that she can talk to or rely on, since the hero is failing her in their relationship, for me thats the best kind of ntr, i would call it wholesome ntr but my definiton might be fucked up.
Otherwise the writing has been real strong with leaving possibilities open, instead of tunneling to only making the party fail, will we betray the demon king and maybe side with the priestess while bonding with her? Will we overthrow him with the demon queen that acts out of order and seems to be unpredictable in nature since the mc doesnt seem to have any close ties to them, besides being trained to be a spy, will we actually just fullfil our mission, these factors also all contribute to the things i like about this game.

I also love that every night serves as bonding, and him having a therapy like session with the priestess, and how the art portrays both of them, with just his calculating cold gaze being shown, while she unknowingly opens herself up to him, showing her vulnarbilities.

The corruption in this game is also stellar with the maincharacter actively manipulating her on a sexual and emotional level, where he is actively trying to understand and predict her, while also making her depend on him to deepen his trust, not just with his dong, but with his brain.

Im really excited to see the future of this game since i love the premise so far, and i really like the MC.

Best of luck to the dev.

And hopefully i will get to write a proper review in the future when there is more content.

I'll reread this later for any mistakes i made.

It has a very interesting story the art is great the girls are good. I can see this being a very popular game when it hits 1.0.

The only thing that I'm not sure of is the UI layout because it isn't fully functional yet.

Played the demo, was incredibly impressed by the intro and the scenes already implemented. Very high quality scenes, nice gameplay ideas and I must say I love the story setting. Can't wait for future content to be added to this game, there are really not that many Netori games out there so this could just be the best out there once it's finished.

I don't know what else to say that the others haven't but still I'll still say it; well-written story, really like the pillow events and the art-style is pretty appealing and sexy and in terms of potential it is high up there for netori games.

best game i played on this site, honestly. Story is so well written and the art feels natural. Characters are interesting and plot is giving as well. One problem is the "combat". I dont even get the point of it. It sucks but you dont really need it and there is much much other things that compensates for it. Definitely try it.

Real nice art, a good story and great build up. Very much looking forward to updates going further with the priestess, the childhood friend, some scenes with your partner and maybe even eventually taking the femboy himself.

Good demo, lots of high quality content for a 1st release.
Great setup, development and execution, glad to see some netori on this site
Love the visual style and the writing.
Really well done, good job!

I have a dream,that one day,netori has the same amount of contents with netorare! Keep working on this very interesting project with all of them promised even more promising ... features you've mentioned about!

A really good surprise. The game shows to be very promising. The bed dialogues a well written, it makes you fully submerge in your relationship and corruption with Cecile. For the little we could saw, you can immediately see each characters having a personality and they're really different one to another. And the Dev chose really well what kind of persons are involved. It makes the NTR situation really spicy. Also, huge big up for it being a Netori. Being a Chad for once gives you a fresh air.

The art looks also very promising. It reminds me of Shinseiden or NTR Legend. The animation could use some work though but it isn't really worth being a bother about it.

I regret having played the demo..I'm longing for me and the wait will kill me. I have huge expection for it ! I don't have the means to help its development but I cheer for you !

Also small advice from me to take or leave: Since you're using Ren'py which is not really suited for any type of gameplay (really rare are those who achieved it) and you're still clinging on VN, I advise you for now to focus more on the story and art (if possible) than the gameplay itself. Although boring for now it's good enough. The game's story is your strong point so keep at it. It's a really a pain to program something on a platform not optimized for and I worry you might take too much time on something that might not look good in the end.

A promising demo that I'll be following for sure. I love the premise of bringing down an adventuring party by corrupting its female party members, and the writing does it justice. I do have some misgivings about the sexual training system, such as:

• what is the rightmost bar (the red one) that fills up on "quick" actions? Am I supposed to fill it up or not? Why does it reset sometimes?
• what are these "specks" I'm getting from training?
• what difference does the trainee's mood make? What does each mood do?
• why does Cecille start out with varying amounts of stamina and varying moods? If it's scripted, well, I'd rather have a game with gameplay than just the illusion of one.

So yeah, I think this system should be better-explained. The combat system also doesn't seem to be particularly to my liking. I know it's basically nothing but a proof-of-concept right now, but I can tell I'd prefer a turn-based system, either that or make it pausable. Still, if this gets turned into a proper game with challenging and replayable combat and nonlinear training, combined with this writing and premise, this game will be epic.

This is one of the best netori games i've ever played and I'm honestly impressed with the dialogue. One of a few game where i dont skip ahead evey 5 seconds, good stuff 10/10. i hope the creator can keep this kind of quality consistent with future updates

Just the initial release of the game and Im already liking it. The creator even with the v1 of their project has created a game that seems to have an abundance of potential with its concept and honestly the story and MC have me hooked; since netori of this type is a breath of fresh air. Honestly, reminds me of what I wished NTR legend was. I would also like to add that those animations are just A1.
