Ren'Py - SlutCraft: Heat of the Sperm [v0.42] [Shadow Portal]

Game's solid enough for a VN. Lot of solid writing and decent characters. Great art too. VN's typically don't offer much in terms of gameplay as is but there are some minigames in scenes. Apparently a lot of folks are disgruntled with the dev's decisions to follow Sarah's path towards becoming the Queen of Blades? There is a fair bit of b/g content in the beginning so if you're here for the Zerg stuff, like I am, you can skip and start at a later chapter when you start the game. I dont know if promises were broken or something but it's a porn game we're getting for free that you can financially support if you so choose.

This is either the first game in this genre or one of my all-time favorites. It's unique, and because of my own tastes, I'm completely hooked. It is excellent in every way and truly brilliant.

How this is cleverly adapted by the original game's elements. The narrative flows similarly, and it's incredibly satisfying. I have to admit that, despite how much I love this game, I think the developers are even better for coming up with such a great idea and talented enough to bring it to life.

The art is really impressive, at first chapters I honestly couldn't hold it. I simply couldn't because the scenes were so erotic and the quality was off the charts.

Even though the graphical appearances of the character changed in a later section of the story, I still think the approach is really cool, and that hasn’t stopped me enjoying and playing the game.

I'm giving it a rating based on its potential in the future; if there were still stars, I'd give it a six or higher. I have no doubt that it will advance to newer and more sophisticated engines. I therefore wholeheartedly support the Shadow Portal team in their endeavors.

Graphics are really nice.
The story uses a lot of refrences to the real game, which is a big plus for the game.
Content is huge if you are really following the story.
In the beginning it's a little bit grindy (getting stats up), however all together it's a good balance.

I liked the game because of the great graphics. Even after her transformation, which is not for the better, Sarah still has an appeal as a twisted sick life form. The Queen of the Blades is actually quite nice and crazy as one would expect.

But if they don't do away with those stupid minigames, I'm not playing anymore.

Here is my list of great things:
1. Terran Sarah
2. Queen of the Blades
3. The spawning pool
4. The many zergs

Boring things:
1. too much clicking; I want to be able to skip most of the scenes I have already seen.
2. The text. I'm not here to read Tolstoy. I want to see Sarah action.
3. The new Sarah. You don't fix what isn't broken.
4. The Protoss girl. She's featureless. I bet she's 45 and divorced twice.
5. Mistress. She's just not a model, and her body can do things I'd rather not see.
6. The grind. There is enough content now, we don't need 1000 clicks to get to 3 pictures.

Bad things:
1. very dark toenails. The characters look sick with them. It's as if they had a horrible fungus eating their nails, which is unacceptable in a ship with spawning pool.
2. the labyrinth. Why would anyone go through that clicking torture even once?

Dealbreakers:
1. Ugly boring minigames you cannot skip. The tentacle asteroids are horrible, boring and complete turnoff. And did I mention you cannot skip it?

The game is great but without the garbage I mentioned above. Without the boring and bad parts, the game is actually quite good. I will revise my rating, once that stuff is removed or fixed in some way.

To be honest, StarCraft needs more done with its most compelling character. From grunt to psychic spy to the Queen of Blades, there's a lot to explore with Sarah Kerrigan. This game finally does it.

To start, the graphics are fantastic. The zerg are creepy, Kerrigan is hot, and it all feels appropriately "in universe". When the original characters introduced started having their own compelling personalities and histories, I knew things were heading in the right direction.

The nodes of the progression tree do seem to come one after another with little between them, but that seems appropriate for prison. Afterward, the progression is much more story related.

If you just want a trainer/corruption game, then that's the first part. If you want an empire building game, that's what the second part is shaping up to be.

Plenty of really well drawn content, but half of it doesn't fit the premise at all. I wish there was an "ugly bastard" tag on F95, because it applies to the way too many scenes in this game, both sex scenes and general interactions.

As many others said, this game fails to deliver on a promise it makes. It's not an explicit promise, but the premise of Kerrigan being captured by The Zerg makes you think of, well, all the zerg-related content you can think of. Instead, you barely get any zerg content until chapter 3, and all of the Stukov content you never wished for in the first two chapters.

At this point, I genuinely fucking hate Stukov. Partially because the game pulls a bait and switch and has just enough zerg stuff in between all the Stukov's human scenes, but mostly because he's just an awful character. He's an ugly bastard mixed with a comic relief, and there's absolutely zero redeeming qualities to him: he's unapologetically horny while trying to be funny and disregarding Kerrigan's reaction. Sounds tolerable for an optional character with a couple scenes, but he isn't. He takes up more than a half of screentime in the first two chapters.
Even worse, the parasite that Kerrigan is infected with in the intro — a completely fucking alien entity that has an ability to control both body and mind of Kerrigan — is basically Stukov's best pal who regularly chimes in on his human jokes while being a passive-aggressive little shit in general.

Imagine if you were in the most fucked up stressful situation of your life while being stuck with two borderline sociopaths who comepletely disregard your fear and confusion, albeit for some dissmissive "it's fine, it's cool, don't worry about it" remarks. Sure sounds hot and steamy.

The writing quality of the first two chapters is pretty poor overall. Nevermind the fact that Stukov shouldn't even be in Koprulu sector and some zerg having full sapience: sci-fi smut feeds on sci-fi smut logic. But the story has no direction except for "you need to become more open" or whatever. Characters don't feel plausible, let alone genuine or sincere. Stukov turns the whole thing into an awful sitcom. Playing from Kerrigan's perspective doesn't serve much purpose: she is disgusted by Stukov's actions until performing enough mental gymnastics without much introspection. You don't have control over her opinions, you're mostly just sharing her point of view. For some fucking reason she starts to fall for Stukov, even though the only positive thing he has to offer is sexual pleasure in a place where even walls can offer that. You'd think that the only other human character would bring some moments of empathy to the story, but nope. Maybe they're stuffed away somewhere in the optional dialogues.
Ironically, sex scenes with zerg feel less weird, because Kerrigan doesn't have to bullshit herself (as much) into enjoying them. And the few zerg characters you talk to end up being more human.

I recommend skipping the first two chapters altogether. Maybe if you're into UB you can skip the dialogues, but for the rest of us it's just not worth it. This should've been some "Kerrigan captured by Terran Confederacy" story with zerg "experimentation" on the side.

Thankfully, chapter 3 almost fully focuses on interacting with zerg. Stukov shows up only in a couple or so scenes, and the new protoss girl perfectly fits the role of a more human character despite her naivety.
The writing is noticeably better. The scenes are way too bloated with dialogue, but whatever snippets I bothered to read after the previous two chapters clearly show improvement. There's finaly a sense of purpose, an actual goal that interests Kerrigan and has her go out and do stuff, she faces challenges with confidence — it's almost like she's a protagonist or something.
The characters are still silly and trope-y, it's still a cheesy smut premise and a lightheated storyline, but hey, now it actually works and delivers on the original promise. Plus, there seems to be more variety and player agency with a choice between Kerrigan and Queen of Blades.

So, overall, chapter 3 is a 4/5, shows a lot of potential and is already a good experience despite all its flaws, and if you specifically want monster content you should just start from there. But the first two chapters bring the score down. Don't bother touching them, getting a save or something for the few good zerg scenes they have is a much less annoying and tedious option.

Dev is dead set on keeping the worst character in the game (that shouldn't even be there in the first place) around and he exists in 70% of all chapter one scenes (despite there being no reason for him to be there, they just put a fat bald human guy in the corner for most of them).
The zerg scenes in chapter 1 are great, unfortunately, the rest all mostly take place in chapter 2 where you get turned into a grotesque white woman with dreads and veiny skin and they introduce another woman who is just as ugly but blue and the game turns from a trainer into a boring minigame player.

Review for v0.31.1

I am here for exactly one reason: the alien sex. Ever since some old obscure game awakened my teratophilia fetish years ago, the concept of hot women + bizarre aliens/creatures does it for me. A very niche thing as I have found out, as this type of content is rarely done (especially to the degree of this game). A lot of my rating and enjoyment of this game come from that aspect.

If you're looking for a more vanilla/standard trainer game, this is not it. The female character gets a transformation later in the game that I imagine a lot of people will either find very grotesque or very hot (I myself falling in the latter). A majority of the sex scenes are with the aliens.

The art really is great. No scene is without it, and some are even getting animated. It's a huge draw for me. There's a pretty good variety in that one scene is usually pretty different from the next which is nice.

So why the three stars? Two reasons, one being the Stukov problem. He's an annoying old man character that is forced upon the player and completely unavoidable. I do not want to see the scenes with him plain and simple. Problem is, he got so ingrained into the first 3rd of the game that, as per the devs, it's almost impossible to remove him at this point. I get it, but that essentially means this is an ever present barrier to the game if you're like me. To give some credit though, the devs recognized a lot of people didn't like Stukov and he has a very minimal presence later in the game.

This is only part of a bigger problem and my other reason for the lower rating. There is almost a complete lack of player agency. You have no control. Nothing is avoidable. You are given no options for almost everything. It just kind of sucks. It's a strangely linear experience, the only thing that might differ is if you choose to see scene B before scene A.

The dialogue is a mix between decent and passable, and truth be told I stopped paying attention to much of the story towards the end. A lot of it feels bloated as the game goes on.

The last thing I want to mention are the minigames, once again unskippable. It's actually infuriating being locked into them in order to progress or see scenes. I want the option to not do them.

TLDR - Great art and it satisfies my niche fetish pretty well, but it's held back by the lack of player agency and not having having options to avoid both scenes and minigames. In the end I found myself holding the skip button more often than not.

Game was GOD TIER in chapter 1. all of the scenes were incredibly hot. and then it kind of got ruined when majority of the scenes revolved around the guy. not that i disliked him or the scenes on their own, it just really ruined the pacing and corruption. it felt like all of the progress towards corruption got wasted on him when they could of been done in more creative ways

once you get passed all of that, the game starts to move on from a corruption trainer game. seems a lot more story focused and the dialogue ramps up. the scenes arent as hot anymore bc the mc is so corrupted. i dont even really want to finish the game at this point

it went from a game i was incredibly excited to play whenever i got the chance to something I'm kind of dreading to finish :/

If you are a fan of Strcraft 1 and 2. And you want to find out what happened to Sara Kerigan after she was left by Arcturus Mengsk on Tarsonis to the zerg, of course with a pinch of salt, then I invite you.

The game consists of three chapters

Ch1- Confinement boring endless grind - a slave training simulator who tries to fight his fate but his fate is sealed in advance. He is slowly becoming sexually depraved and there is nothing shee can do about it because he has no choice.

Ch2- Evolution of grind me

Ch3- Command

graphics 10/10

Cartoony



Music6/10

Something's playing there

Dialogues 5+/10

quite humorous


Characters 5/10 quite humorous. Later in the game, our main character has his alter ego, reminiscent of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Game selection 2/10

almost none. Not everyone likes futa unfortunately it's forced you can't skip it. Dev did not give the option to skip.Practically most of the scenes are forced, nothing you can do

Sex scenes 5/10 lots of humor


Game mechanics 3/10

To see something new in the game, we repeat the same actions endlessly when we first discover a new scene at the beginning, it's interesting. But then we click skip because how many times you can watch the same scene endlessly is terribly boring. And we wait until we see the desired inscription in the game "NEW DIALOG" on some character. A quest log would be nice.

Great mini-games 3+/10,
it's a pity that so little, especially in the tasks from the leaders

In conclusion, if you are a fan of Starcraft 1. and 2, you appreciate humor and do not mind the game's flaws, then I can recommend this game to you.

A pretty good Starcraft game is you like slave trainers.

The art is cartoonish in style but above average. The sex scenes are steamy. The plot/progression are full of fun Starcraft references. It's a slave trainer game, which means it has many limitations on the story it can tell, but it operates well within those confines. Overall, it's an excellent love letter to Starcraft. Still, there are areas I wish played out slightly different.

It can get a bit slow at times. It does this in the story with exposition dumps and it does this in its corruption progression. Many of the corruption events are babysteps more risque than the previous one and are gated behind mandatory waiting periods. For example, you have 4 levels of "feeding" events that you have to progress through before you can even unlock the next branching path, but each feeding event has a mandatory delay of two rest cycles and each scene takes 1-2 minutes to read through with no real significant progression.

And damn I wish they'd chosen a better male dom for Kerrigan. I think I would've rather seen a hydralisk seduce Kerrigan with nothing but grunts than have to watch this ugly space admiral with a shitty personality.

It's a slow burn, but it's a great game for anyone who likes Starcraft and slave trainers--especially if you're a fan of the "ugly gross guy coerces the supermodel" hentai trope. If you don't already like slave trainers, you probably won't find love for them in this game.

A simple gameplay that allows you to spectate the corruption of the mind of our female protagonist. Point and click loop with changing results and increasing extremes of sexual acts. I haven't finished episode 1 yet, so I can't say that 'loop' is the theme in this game.
Art is excellent
Story is excellent. From what I can tell, it is a linear progression process.
Appeal to moral degradation and other fetish excellent
Gameplay is very good if you have the patience

Version: v0.30.1

There are plenty of slave training games on this website, but game where you are the slave being trained, well now that is exceptionally rare. This reverse slave trainer game managed to pull off the concept relatively well.
The art is made with love, the characters and their interactions are entertaining and the sexual scenes are great.
Yet the only reason im not giving this game 5/5 is the gameplay. There is no gameplay, just point and clicking. But if that was not bad enough, its the type ero game where you only can count clicking the screen as gameplay AND need to heavily grind. The grind is entirely pointless in this type of game.

Despite the shit "gameplay", this game is amazing.

Disclaimer, I haven't finished the game yet, but I'm a few hours in so I have a pretty good idea of how it works. Has a high potential imo but was disappointing nonetheless.

Art: 9/10
looks kinda gross but that's pretty lore-friendly, really high quality overall, even the UI elements have art, even a few animations

Music: 7/10
Nothing crazy but it creates a nice atmosphere.

Story: 8/10
Pretty generic Sci+fi story, not going to spoil anything but it's solid overall, no typos or anything like that as far as I'm aware.

Gameplay: 3/10
Kinda ruins everything, it's super grindy and boring because even with the skip function you still have to go through every single "event" to unlock the rest of the content even if you don't like the events, and it gets absolutely horrendous when you get to the "masturbation week" thing because you're just forced to sit there and click sleep-eat-skip scene-train-repeat for like 30 minutes for no reason, just remove that from the game ffs.

Conclusion: I'm going to finish the game anyway because of sunk cost fallacy but if you were interested in the game honestly I'd recommend you don't play it and just look through the gallery, you'll see a lot of the good stuff without wasting your time.

Edit: I got to "part 2" or whatever it's called and it actually gets a lot better, less grindy and the art is really gorgeous, some of the best I've ever seen in a game. But I don't think I'll be changing my rating, I'm still mad about the beginning part. Really unfortunate to hide good content underneath a pile of repetitive grindy garbage.

Lots of grinding. Many hours sunk into just doing the same thing over and over.
That's fairly common though.
The main reason I'm giving this such a mediocre rating is because of the mandatory content I'm not interested in, that is implied is not mandatory.

Stukov goes on about how you don't have to do anything sexual with him if you don't want to. How he doesn't want to rape you, he wants you to enjoy it. But you do. You do have to do stuff with him. And part of the reason I sunk so many hours into this game is because I was trying to find a way to progress but couldn't figure it out. If you don't do ALL the GROSS DIRTY OLD MAN shit with Stukov, you can't progress. I was stuck forever, not realizing that the whole "you don't have to do stuff with Stukov" thing the game hammers in at the beginning was entirely a lie. I dunno if that's changed since. It's been updated since then. But this might be a 3 or 4 star review if not for those lies.

very unintuitive sandbox grindfest.
while the corruption is intruiging and the scenes keep you invested in playing further, you seem to always hit a dead end whereas it seems that there is no progress available/developed.
BUT definitely recommendable if grinding "boring stuff" doesn't bother you.

Decent Art
Decent Concept ( Sarah + Zergs + Multiple choices ? much yes ! )

- Really Questionable Delivery ( Lack of choice predominantly )

I sometimes swear that Stukov is the main protagonist of this adventure. The player cannot skip his content, it must be done to progress. You cannot truly defy him short of one 'bad' ending where you bite his dick off at which point his content is like 90% of ch1+2.

Stukov is so obnoxious that he should have a skip toggle. I genuinely think the game would be better for it despite how little content would be left of ch1+2.

Now onto the other issue. Sarah has her own kinks and desires so don't expect a chance to shape her in any meaningful way. You are just a viewer watching one slide after the next. You will not get to chose your kinks, they are chosen for you.

Great polish, art, and dialogue.

However, I came for Zerg x Kerrigan corruption, and was mostly disappointed.

Instead, most of the content is Stukov X Kerrigan, which wasn't what I was hoping for.

I can respect a slow burn corruption, but I felt pretty teased by the end with the lack of true Zerg content.

Unfortunately, not what I expected from it, but a good game nonetheless

+ Great art
+ Animations are a bit simple, but make all the difference
+ Gets into the porn pretty fast
+ Has a gallery

~ Corruption is a bit of a slow burn, so that might be a nuisance for some
~ Music is alright, but I missed sound effects the most

- Scenes have way too much text between each step (as in a lot of text before the scene makes the next significant change)
- Other interactions also go very heavy on the text

I don't even know this game before yesterday and I need to say that it's a nice find. Excellent and exciting game, with nice ideas and good animations. I hope new contents will be up very soon. Keep going like that
