We all remember Left 4 Dead with porn, it was janky, looked dated and was quite basic, but a lot of us liked it nonetheless. Well fellas, here's the sequel we've been waiting for, still janky, looks a bit less dated but it's by no means basic, time to break it down.
Let's start with the story, which is... there...? You're the new guy who joins a community of survivors, you were separated from your family so are feeling pretty down, but the power of cute anime girls empowers you to get out there and kick some zombie butt! However there's a shady figure out there doing something, er, shady. The main story is pretty basic, filled with predictable tropes. However the main appeal, the waifus, each have their own event chains which flesh out their characters and give them some nice interactions with the MC. While all the girls fit neatly into archetypes there is enough here to be more than walking bags of tropes and I found them all likeable to varying degrees.
So how do these characters all look? Really good actually. The 3D anime art style is nicely done and the character designs are well made, with enough variety that everyone is going to have at least one girl that appeals to them. They look miles better than their previous iterations. What's more impressive though is that they don't look hugely out of place with the side characters, zombies and environments, which are less anime-esque. You also get a fair bit of customisation with them. It's not all positives though, while there is a surprising amount of diversity in environments in the levels a lot of them look rather dated. This was most egregious in the forest biome but a lot of textures don't look great. There's also a fair amount of buggy animations and things not lining up just right, though most look great.
Unfortunately these aren't the only bugs I've run into, there's quite a lot aside from just animations. You and the heroines each have stat trackers, but a number of these aren't getting recorded properly. Your allies often look like they're shooting in the wrong direction and can occasionally get stuck in terrain. There is a reset heroine button in the menu but it doesn't always work. The worst one I found was when Hikari became unstuck from the map and went skating off into the void not to be seen again for the rest of the mission, which was especially unfortunate as I needed her to load boxes into a van! Luckily Ichika became immortal from a different glitch so it all worked out in the end. My point is; this game is very buggy, so much so it can occasionally affect the game play.
So now let's talk about gameplay. It's good. It is a really solid zombie shooter, there's a large variety of weapons, special monster enemies and big set pieces. The weapons are randomised so you’re not sure what you’ll start with, but most are fun to use mowing down zombies. Earlier I compared it to L4D, but that's not unfavourably. It can really feel like playing a round of one of the most classic games of the genre with far more attractive companions, no offense Rochelle. There's a fair few missing features, most notably multiplayer, but it does do some unique things of its own. The most apparent new feature is the gameplay is a lot lewder, healing and special enemy takedowns involve a lot more dicking than most zombie shooters. You also have a new central hub area, from which you can upgrade your character, improve facilities and trigger various scenes and events. It's a welcome addition that I feel they could do a lot more with. At the moment most heroines can have short conversations while walking about, which unfortunately don't get subtitles. More random events occurring when you return from a mission might make the hub feel a bit more alive. All in all the hub is a welcome addition.
So why would you bother playing this game rather than booting up one of the very many others similar by bigger studios? Well if all the game’s marketing, the kinda creepy ass title, the nature of the site we’re on and the things I’ve previously written in this review all have failed to inform you then it falls to me to let you know, there’s some porn in this game. Quite a bit in fact. We can largely break it down into two segments, battle scenes and hub scenes. With the first set of scenes you get monsters trying to fuck or otherwise molest your party or you get the ‘healing’ scenes, which involve your character banging a chosen girl to recoup some health and give both of you a temporary buff. The healing sequence has two animation sets for each girl, depending on whether they’re downed or not, and each enemy type gets a sequence each. The main problem with these scenes is that it’s a bit hard to sit and appreciate them while being drowned in a horde of zombies or while watching a heroine’s health start rapidly declining. The worst part of this is there’s no gallery for them yet either, you can only see them in the field. There are also gameover sequences, however these are far too short for all but the most premature of ejaculators. They also exclusively end in gory snuff. I’m into monsters in my hentai, but that’s way too far for my tastes. These do have an unlockable gallery at least.
Luckily the hub scenes are a lot better integrated. The main scenes are unlocked by increasing a heroine's likeability and activated by talking to her. These are easily repeatable and there’s a decent number of them, I think 4 per heroine plus a couple of extras. That might not sound like a lot but they’re multi-staged and are all well made. You also have voyeuristic mini-games you can unlock with different facilities and trigger by buying items to give to a heroine. Lastly are the NTR scenes. For those that don’t like them you can easily turn them off right at the start and rando’s will never bring up wanting to fuck your waifu. For those that are into NTR there’s three events per heroine that unlock at certain likeability thresholds. To actually view them you need to go out into the field and find specific items. That’s right, if you want to get cucked you have to work for it! Personally I think there’s some missed opportunity there, the scenes finish just where it’d get interesting and they make most of the girls seem like total bitches, some more than others. It takes three event’s to go from reluctant participants to “Your cock is so much better than MC-kuns!”
All in all there’s a whole lot of content here, more than I’ve talked about even with this bloated review. Is it perfect? No, definitely not. I’ve laid out a myriad of flaws here and I’m sure there’s plenty I missed. Is it one of the best hentai games of all time? For me, definitely. There’s a wealth of things to do, a lot of the H-scenes are great and it’s fun to play! If I gave it less than 5 stars then I’d have to lower the ratings of pretty much all my reviews. TL;DR? It’s a fun zombie shooter with porn, give it a go.
