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

As of writing this review, I still have not finished everything that is in this game, but I had to get those words off my mind.

Let me start by saying that this game is an absolute gem and a masterpiece.

In my opinion this is mostly to the amazing writing. The web of intrigue is thick and made perfectly, it keeps you guessing what comes next. The characters are written very well, their actions and choices feel like those of an actual human beings rather than just a medium for porn. Other than that, the entire netori part is done amazingly, and honestly, I can't wait for implementation of the trap tag.
What I feel makes the writing so compelling is also the fact that the main character is very likeable. You do not play a complete sadistic brute, you are a bad guy in the story, but you are not necessarily evil. Contrary to the more sombre atmosphere of the game, I feel hope for the good and happy ending. For peace in the war, and (almost) everyone involved.

Everything written above is reinforced with a great amount of amazing art, it is a joy to look at even if MCs skin colour is shifting from light to swarthy, depending on the scene, but I think everyone is happy that way.

Overall, I cannot wait to see how this game develops, and you can be sure that after I finish my degree and get a stable income, I am hitting that Patreon ASAP.

An Absolute materpiece, every character is perfect for their role and most of them are incredibly likeable, even the crazy arrogant and demanding demon queen is a cutie when you know her better, the after-sex conversations with the main heroine are all wonderful. The main character has the charm and manliness of Rance, but he actually has a brain.

I am a fan of netorare and netorase, never liked netori, but this game is so good that it completely overcame my dislike for the genre.

Easily the best BDSM/Male dom humil game on this website and its not even close. Usually dont wright reviews but for a P game, this is honestly the only game I come back to for updates. can go weeks without feeling anything on other games, hop on this game and im spent(If you know what I mean).

For a game to even get to such a point it needs to have grounded well made characters, a solid realistic setting and world and a good buildup that keeps you reading to see where the characters go next. This game has it all and more.

The gameplay loop is very repetitive after few hours of playthrough, but then again it's still in development. the supposedly combat aspect of the game wasn't even fully implemented yet. but from what I see the combat itself wasn't really that interesting either. in fact, it looked like it would be a chore than a fun thing to do!
Either way, story and art (especially the art) is top notch! easily one of my fav right now. easily 5/5

The WHITE SCREEN gave me chills!! ( Plot moment)
The sound for it was perfect.
For an unfinished game, this is awesome.
Characters are cool, scenes are cool, the plot is "basic" but actually good and engaging.
I love it.

No words can explain the wonderfulness of this masterpiece. A revolutionary art that can topple even the most confident artists, and more importantly, a concept so universally groundbreaking it might just be the spark to a new age in modern society.

The cumming of a new age indeed.

Edit• In all seriousness, the netori in this game feels very fleshed out, and the subtle changes in attitudes of our female protagonists as the genre becomes more noticeable makes worthwhile to spend long hours on this game for leisure

This is the best Netori story I've seen on here.

It's very well written (not joking, writer has real talent), the plot is actually good as opposed to the usual for these type of games/stories and is a slow burn which is how I personally think corruption type stories should be.

I've read that some people dislike the art but I think it's fits well, the way it's drawn and the character expressions further add to the degeneracy/corruption though I do have to say as of the latest update v0.4.3 I found a couple of the new sex positions for one of the LIs to be worse in quality.

Having said that I had a few issues with the game, getting stuck more than a few times due to events not firing (especially in older content) but even though that was kinda of frustrating it was still more than worth playing.

Hero Party Must Fall is a genre-defining work even in its infancy. It's a must-play title for anyone with a passing interest in the genre. This is one of very few games that I will download and play each update because I'm so invested in it.

The updates are focused on plot development and writing, with releases being substantial and episodic. There are also some barebones minigames that exist as placeholders for future plans to incorporate more rpg elements. Even if Nitrolith doesn't deliver on a single scrap of non-written content, this will still stand as a seminal work in the history of eroges. Honestly, I'm more worried that the minigames will drag down and disrupt the VN experience.

Nothing more needs to be said. Just play it.

One of the best 2DCG lewd games out there and probably THE BEST Netori-centered one I've ever played.
There aren't a lot of lewd games that focus on Netori and what's worse most of them are just pure porn without any substantial story, yet anybody who has played Hero Party Must Fall will unanimously agree that it isn't any of that. It's still about MC cucking another man with his superb sex skill, but both the story development and the character portrayal make the overall theme more engaging and interesting. The process of corruption, the conflict between heroines about their responsibility, loyalty and love, MC's dilemma about what kind of man he really wants to be (as a pawn or a pawn with conscience)... all these make the gaming experience unforgettable and enjoyable.
There're still a lot of gaming mechanics that are still unfinished and the corruption process might be a bit repetitive sometimes (the game has in-game cheats, it'll make your life a lot easier), but if you like Netori or the theme of corruption overall, seriously give this one a try.

I'm going to be honest here, this is the best Netori i've ever played so far. The art is a solid 9/10, with only a few personal tastes of myself lowering it, the story is surprisingly good and complex and the number of overall fetishes used are enormous. As a personal take i'd really like if the game had pegging or any kind of anal play with the hero, since there are plans for feminization already, i don't think that it should be off topic to add those plays as well, but anyways, just personal opinion, God bless the dev.

Not gonna lie, this is one of the hottest 2dcg game i've played on this site, from corruption & story, art & animation is pretty much on point. Really like Cecile tsun and Elena slutty side (but elena story kinda rushed tho in my opinion in term of the corruption).

if i could give suggestion it would be enable training session or something similar for all of the main heroine, so far it only consist Cecile & Sera (Elena minigame still on progress, but for the option available right now, i think it still lack of the sex scene since it has no hj/bj/cunni/penetration).

Good luck and may the game proceed smoothly and fast, can't wait for this game finished and polished, really deserved a 5 Star review since the Dev really put effort into this game and hopefully not gonna milk the project by delaying updates like some of good game out there.

I will not describe in full details what awaits you in this game, as the game already has quite a lot of reviews and most likely it has been said more than once, so I will focus on my feelings about this game.

• Very interactive sex and groping scenes.
• Great and somewhat tragic story. Believable characters that you want to empathize with.
• Author's writing style is extremely good.
• Has some dark fantasy vibes, which is rare on this site.
• A lot of kinks.
• Weak part of the game related to dungeons.

For the entire playtrough, I couldn't stop thinking how well the author presents their characters. The writing in this game is really among the top, especially among games of adult genre.

I'll probably say a strange thing for this forum, but I would even love to read this story without any explicit sex scenes at all, so much I like the story and characters in this game. Yes, I've always wanted a good game to have that kind of content, but the way the author delivers this tragic story makes me want to empathize with them more than it makes me want to get aroused. Yes this game doesn't have any adventures, and everything mostly revolves around the characters' relationships, but I firmly believe that if the author had taken on the same fantasy setting with battles and adventures and even without the adult content he/she still will succeed in delivering high quality story, that worth playing.

Funny thing, but I'm not really from the target audience here, since I don't have warm feelings for chubby gals, who is so far has most of the content, but I'm really staying for the story and other chars.

This game is most well written story

I have played many porn game with cheap story and it why I not very sure to try out top 5 Stars games here. But I was wrong

The story and build up were great

Everything, Work great together and it make sense without spoiling but it can keep you engage in story. Even I playing game usually not for story but this one keep me on my toe. I want more!

Real Corruption

Many game I have played. Corruption are either side hobby of sort for your main character/side character but this. It to next level and story support that. It also do not hold back the mature way of doing it. Many other game don't make it extreme or in a sense that does not feel cheap. This what I like about this game. Characters and pacing are supporting in making corruption good. Without this. You not fully corruption one.

Graphic with Gameplay

I glad that dev choose this style of grapbic. Half pixel Half anime drawing and combine with western style anime drawing and Japanese stye. I learning this one myself and I found it very stand out and nice for a change. Market lack these style. Not to mention that they are all animated. Yea I know gameplay is simply click and let it play but do I expect Run and Fuck? no. I play for relax and the gameplay here giving me that.

Overall, This game deserve my 5 Stars despite you may hate feitsh or something this game presented but it story are so engaging and not CHEAP. You would forget all about it.

What a masterpiece. Seriously one of the best games I have played on this site. It's saying something when a porn game gets you invested on the plot.
The art is also amazing and the scenes are really hot, the game does not force you to grind for too much like some other games I have played.
It's an all around great game
Can't wait to bang Erin

You'll love this game if you're into Netorare and/or humiliation.

Pros
===============
- Great Art
- Has a sexy demon queen
- Scene Variety
- Memorable characters
- Protagonist with character depth
- Well paced story

Cons
==========================
-Unfinished gameplay concepts
- Repetitive minigames
- Next to no content for side characters like the knight woman

Give this game a shot anyway. Make your own judgement.

A very good game, the story and art is phenomenal. Every charactors help make the story much more interesting. The build up to the climax of the story is also very engaging. Over all, it's a great game that many should give it a try.

wow

i haven't been this invested in a new game - for me - for a while! i barely slept playing it lol! i'm really invested in the story and the characters so far it's the strongest point of the game for me - i love the fetishes as well, can't wait to break erin into a sissy!

the biggest down side of the game for me is the art by far even though it gets a 1000x times better later in the game.

pro: the story, the characters, and all the fetishes .

con: the art is very weak at the begining of the game.

i simply can't wait for a new update!

Really fun domination game with super unique, old school art. With so many games having wimpy MCs, it's always fun to play the bull. And I love me some slow corruption. Overall, a really fun one. However, I will say that, while there is a lot of content, the overall world feels a bit lacking. And I didn't like how kinetic everything was.

Also, wasn't a big fan of seeing the hero get action. It was basically femdom NTR that we have no say in. But, complaints aside, there's enough good here to warrant 4*

I have rated this 5 stars just because of how unique this game is in terms of artwork but also story, but there are some major issues!

The newer versions of the game are a lot better with a new tutorial and much more context leading into the main plot.

This game's themes are great and the characters are good. There is some lighthearted comedy mixed in but it doesn't destroy the mood. The story is pretty dark and centered heavily around ntr, humiliation, male domination and discipline. Very good implementation of ntr that suits the story and isn't frustrating.

Now onto the main issue, the sandbox element. This game pretends to be a sandbox on the surface but it is extremely linear which makes progressing the story unnatural and tedious with no real benefit. There is no real solution to this problem without overhauling old content and adding more parallel sub-stories with actual content. or abandon the sandbox element altogether I think.

The game's main goal of dungeon exploring is very underdeveloped as stated in the game. it is extremely basic and boring in its current state. not worth paying attention to and should always be skipped. To make this element of the game good a lot of work has done be done, and the story should be connected to objectives from the minigame. I don't know if it will yield enough to justify all the work that has to be done on this part of the game.

Ambitious and highly interesting game. curious to see where it will go.

I really do like the character developments. Thought I would do a simple quick run to collect all the CG and be done, but the conversation an writing are really interesting that I can't skip. At first I thought the girls are just innocent souls being corrupted, which is fine, but this is even...
