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

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.

Great proof of concept and start with a decent amount of content, great art, and a good writing hook. It reminds me a lot of NTR legend but considering that's one of the best 2d art ntr games around that's as high praise as you can get.
Highly recommend playing and supporting.

I very rarely rate first releases. Because I very rarely think they have enough meat on them to rate them for. Surprisingly enough, this one did.

I am a bit cursed because one of my fav kinks is corruption and I also love me a good 2D art game. But it's a fact that very few devs know how to write proper corruption and when you combine it with the very high death rate of 2D projects, the chances of finding something aren't exactly high. So I was pleasantly surprised when I found out this, not only had good writing, but also had enough content to get a taste. When most early 2D releases are just empty frameworks that never get to be filled.

It's obvious this dev "gets" corruption. The majority of games with this tag have either a dude conquering all with his big dick, or some retarded blackmail plan that doesn't make sense. This one has actual emotional manipulation that makes sense. You get to see the subtle, gradual changes and how the "target" rationalizes, which is so rare in these games. It even expands it to show some change on MC himself. And it has the potential of further corruption (since he is already a devil) or even redemption with different paths.

Also pretty fun we get to play the chad dude from those NTR games instead of the cuck or the naive girl for once (another curse if you like corruption but dislike those protags). The writing is so meta, that we are practically having MC cuck the average harem game protag. Yes, that dude who is a complete pervert and yet no girl acknowledges it and all those games act like he's God's gift to women. Gotta love that!

My only worry is that, since this has gameplay mechanics beyond VN, the dev is tempted to mess around too much with that stuff instead of the story. And eventually lose all the traction from this game's strong suit. Although that's maybe me being burnt by too many 2D projects in the past.
