Shoot ‘em up games are a dime a dozen, and lewd ones are no exception. While most of them limit themselves to adding a naked girl in the background and keeping their gameplay as basic as possible, others add some original features to make them stand out in a good way. Hentai Hack-her is of the latter, and it's a fun game to boot!
Pros
Pretty art
Original concept
Solid and entertaining gameplay
Cons
It’s easy to feel lost the first time you play it.
The game takes a different approach than most games of the genre. Instead of going straight to the shmup part, a desktop-like interface appears when you start the game, and you use the different apps at your disposal to find a target and hack them. Moreover, extra content like wallpapers and widgets can be unlocked by spending the credits you get in each hacking attempt. As nice as it is, it’s easy to feel lost when you play it for the first time, and all you can do is click on stuff randomly until you get to the other part of the game.
Hacking is where the fun begins. It’s represented as a shmup game in which you have to destroy everything that goes after you for as long as possible while you see the girl you’re hacking do all sorts of naughty things in the background. There are different enemies you have to deal with, each with their patterns, as well as some blocks that give you a good chunk of points when destroyed, but they kill you instantly if you touch them. Once you’re defeated, your points are transformed into credits, and some spicy pictures in the gallery are unlocked if you reach specific milestones.
Furthermore, the game has two difficulty modes: Casual and Competitive. Casual mode is the easier of the two, though it’s still far from being a walk in the park. You won’t get achievements for playing in this mode, though, and your score won’t appear on the leaderboards. Competitive mode, on the other hand, is very unforgiving and puts your skills to the test. In addition, you get achievements for each milestone you reach, and you get bragging rights if your score is at the top on the leaderboards.
Artistically speaking, the game is good. It mixes the minimalistic look of the desktop with the darker colors and matrix-like effect used during the hacking segment. The spicy bits are nicely done, even though the animation is a bit basic. As for the soundtrack, it’s very well done too. It features plenty of electronic music tracks that do a great job of keeping the player motivated.
Verdict: Good
Hentai Hack-her is a nice shmup game that fans of the genre and spicy games alike will enjoy. It’s not a masterpiece, but it’s worth the price.
