An art gallery diluted with grind
Yes, this is actually not a game. And if it is trying to be one, it is failing miserably. Let me elaborate.
The setting and the plot
The game is set in DC universe, featuring superheroes and supervillians of franchise we all know.
The player takes control of Lex Luthor, who is back
in black and with a brand new idea of controlling everything - this time through some brain chips or whatever. He intends on capturing superheroines, installing a chip in them and letting them dance in a club to earn money for him.
Well, that's it. Kinda weak, right?
Ok well, but what if it is a sandbox, will it be enough to justify this game? Still no, moving on.
The gameplay
After the plot is being discarded as non-existant apart from several intro events, what else is there to do, if anything at all?
After the event MC ends up with one heroine who is source of income - put her to dance and she earns money. Then upgrade this and that, capture a few more girls and business is booming! Well, this is an hour of gameplay. After this initial hour the money does not matter anymore. So, what is there left to do?
You can "evolve" (still no idea what it means) the girl's chip so she will not be a mindless slave but still have some restrictions applied, like cannot leave cell. And then she is taken to the said cell, where she resides. After which, you can do following sequence of actions:
- Introduction
- Talk 2 times
- New outfit
- Dance 3 times
- New outfit
- Strip 3 times
- Handjob 3 times
- New outfit
- Blowjob 3 times
- Sex 3 times
- New outfit
- Anal 3 times
After this sequence is completed, there is nothing else to do with the girl. Notice how everything has to be done 3 times to progress. It is only minor changes in text which happen over those 3 attempts, everything else is exactly the same.
Every girl is the same, every sequence is the same, every action is the same. Also, keep in mind that MC can only interact with each girl once per day, and has to fastforward to the next day to continue (and this takes you through 4-6 different menues depending on where the girl is). All this is eventually required of the player to unlock all the content.
The art of the heroines
The art is actually pretty decent. I would not say it is incredible, but it good, close to original and feels in tone with the setting. That's it. It is always accompanied by the same generic copy-pasted dialogues and is always of certain types:
- Introductory art
- 1 for each new costume (usually 3)
- 1 for heroine dancing with every costume variation
- 2 for heroine stripping out of every costume (front and back)
- 1 for handjob (each costume)
- 1 or rarely 2 for blowjob (again, each costume)
- 2 (sometimes 1) for sex (for each costume)
- 1 (sometimes 2) for anal (for each costume)
- 1 for walking naked
- 1 for dancing in strip club
- 1 for stripping in strip club
- 2 for "playing" with herself in strip club
- 1 for having sex in brothel
So, well, the art presented in the game is in hundreds, if not thousands. However, it is all generic, only thing which changes in a heroine in the art. It is like you go to any rule34 site and just type in the name of heroine and you get all this. Here you have to grind for each piece instead.
The game mechanics
I wanted to list them all here, but it was too much. Then I left only those which work, still too much. Then I left only those which work for something other than a particular event or a particular girl, which are reused and which you often interact with in the game. And then the list became empty. You only just do: Skip a day -> Base -> Cells -> Girl -> Cells -> Base -> City -> Skip a day. That is all you do regularly.
Progress tracking, guide or whatever
Is not existant (officially, that is). You literally have to use fan-made spreadsheets etc to find out whether this particular scene is unlockable or not, because nothing in the game suggests that it would or would not be. There is a vault for that, right. Aaaand, it is bugged.
The summary
As the game this thing is incredibly bad, like so bad it is not even worthy to be called a game.
"Playing" such game requires so bizarely basic sequence of actions I have literally written a macro to do that for me once an update comes out, then I just go to the vault and review all the scenes the macro unlocked. I cannot understand why anyone in own mind would voluntarily play this game, click on buttons in menues, like, do something even in here.
You see, before this game, the author, SR7, did actual arts. He had one game about corrupting Korra or smth, and it was mediocre. But then he realised that making just art doesn't turn a lot of profit. And he made this excuse for continuing making art - this wannabe game. It contains literally nothing the game should consist of, and it's main purpouse is only to host the art collection, which is the only thing the dev knows how to make.
Again, don't waste your time on this nonsence, just download a full save and go to Base -> Vault and view it as an art gallery. That is the only good thing you can get from it.
Certainly a 1/5, it is a terrible game because it is not even an actual game.
Do not play it.
