ACT Shota [DHM] Super Monsters'n Girls (RJ252328)

[dood]

This game had a lot of references to other retro games. From donkey kong to castlevannia to finally Kirby at the end. I do like that each level felt different and the Egyptian level had multiple pathways and even a hidden sand spider girl who doesn't show up anywhere else and magical lamia who can be totally skipped.

Several gripes with this game:
-The melee grenade thing is fucking dreadful, actually a lot of the non-default weapons just don't feel good to use.
-I miss the old PC animations, where he sprinted like a chad. Fuck this sunday jogging nerd we got instead.
-Hazards can blend into the background or sit below a drop you need to go down where you can't see them.
-The majority of the levels were good but the tongue plant area in particular irritated me. Those tongue plants can grab and instakill you even when they're closed. Why..?
-You can get grabbed by enemies again way too early, and a lot of the flying ones like to go below you before sticking to you again.
-No Gallery, meaning it's quite a pain to have to get the second to last bosses' scene.

you mean the harpies in the elevator section ? they do, its their game over screen

I mean a nest with half a dozen of them or so.

Spoiler: Harpy Nest

 

[Thorn14]

Cute game, wish I liked RR though.

I was not expecting that last stage though lmao

 

[DuganNash]

Lack of gallery really isn't that bad. All enemies are accessible not more than 10 seconds into any checkpoint, I like how he designed it that way.

 

[Strange]

I wish I liked RR

Worry not, you are safe. It's not rape if she kisses you first. Including on the mouth.

 

[labov]

Oof. Have to say, having been one of desu's first patrons (like #2 or so), not getting shit all in return leaves a bad taste in my mouth, and I'm saying that as a fairly vocal supporter of desu thus far. The price isn't steep, but geez.

 

[Strange]

Woudln't the contrary be unfair to non-supporters? He's not 100% done with the game either, so keep your finger crossed; and maybe voice your requests.

Anyway: I AM SO WEAK! I gave in the temptation... I went and cleared it in less than 1 hour... Missing 60-70% of the H.
A nigthmare of a game (like the 1st, but for worse reasons) but the hilarious ending(s?) made it worth it. All hail Nakamura!
random rant: I had to go through the bats stage with the rolling cannon... Aaaargh!
random musing: how can a 8-pixels-high mayan zombi butt be so cute? That makes no sense!

A big thanks/hug to the translator! It's really nice to see a Japanese game with real English, from the get-go, no less!
reminder: press CTRL+INSERT when the intro starts rolling

A piece of advice:

Spoiler

clear this game before dev fixes the small, helpful bugs.
- most bosses fall like flies to the shovel - the close quarters weapon
- endboss black: you can simply hide behind her...
- endboss white: you can take out about half her HP when she does her low sweep (at weapon's height)

Just a heads up, there's now an update to the game. The update itself now has a gallery mode in it. Though I do wonder what plan he originally has with the extra mode.

 

[zeroxsaber]

Wow after seeing the gallery mode ,I found out I never seen the spider girl and red lamia girl and guess what i go back and found out theres another different lower section route for the dark tomb part !
The spider girls were also under those bridge that broken themself, just wow

A huge improvement over the original monsters'n girls, but still has the issue of most of the sex being in the cowgirl position. I'm not a fan of making a monster girl themed game and most of the sex being something you could have with any normal girl. The foreplay scenes were often more hot than the sex itself.

I also had the same feeling, the sex scenes feels too vanilla for a monster girl game

Well, I'm of the exact opposite opinion. Vanilla is good. Best ice-cream flavor too.
It makes the girls sensual in a way we can relate to. The fact they bother to tease and seduce you before the act, is very sweet (and hot).

If you want rapey aggressive monstrous MGs, there are many other games to pick. But we vanilla little people, don't have much to put on our plates

 

[IAmAKi]

Scene-wise my personal problem was that they don't look very well-drawn, which is weird because the dev's ordinary art and animations look absolutely fine. Some of them escape this and generally look the business (like the small blonde vampire and oni girl) but others... look more like one sprite edited a ton of times. Kind of like how Nonki animated with his Final Fuck series.

Rape is like combat in normal games.

If you want intense scenes in h-games, rape is the easy go to, just like how combat is in most regular games.
Games like Phoenix wright don't have action scenes and can still get intense scenes, but it takes more effort to do so.
Games like Bayonetta can get intense and frenetic early because of the action focus.

That being said, there's A LOT of vanilla h-games. The vast majority of VNs are 99% vanilla. So are the vast majority of Simulation[SIM/SLG] games, including the best selling h-game on DLSite Teaching Feeling.

I actually like how they handled foreplay here. It's pretty true to reality, where the foreplay is about getting the guy as aroused and ready as possible before moving on to the main event.
Outside of the bat, and the vore monster, there's no cumming in a foreplay position.

Honest question, but what would you do differently? Just curious.

I've had conversations with DHM in the past. He's a big fan of Kyrieru in every way. This includes sexually. He could make a FeMC game where the girl gets raped by monsters as well as this type of game, so it's not like he exclusively likes this type of content. Obviously he won't go into the deep end with it (thankfully.)

Heck even creators who are exclusively into femdom stay like this for the most part like Zell23 and me.

I disagree. The pixel resolution is limiting what he can do, and animation has more importance than pure technical pixel art skill.
The sex animations have a very high framecount.

I do feel like he was heavily relying on references for some animations.

Here's my quick review:

The good

• cute vanilla sex, with lots of vaginal creampies
• most sex scenes are good conceptually (their "story board" is often real good)
• monster girl designs are largely not revolutionary, but good, some even great
• as per desu's often-stated personal predilection, lots of kissing & foreplay
• lots more content than the first revision

The bad

• animation quality is actually worse than in the aborted first build. the magical fluid quality that desu always tried to pick up from kyrieru is gone. it shows in big things (sex scenes) and little things (protagonist's walk cycle)
• and some animations that were great in the aborted build are also really conceptually bad now (looking at you, clam girl).
• and that sexy rhythm from the aborted build has been replaced in many animations by patently unsexy jackhammer machinegun humping
• generally I feel like he lost some of his passion and energy (just like he would often state) and it shows in the animations
• the whole American Revolutionary War theme is just daft as hell

The neutral

• gameplay isn't anything to write home about either way

I disagree. There's such a thing as a certain culture on patreon, where it's implied that it's a give and take. This ain't kickstarter.

Desu himself has acknowledged this on patreon, by the way, and stated that for this reason he'll ditch patreon for good, because he wants to pursue "the japanese model of tossing money to someone without reward".

Some of them escape this and generally look the business (like the small blonde vampire and oni girl) but others... look more like one sprite edited a ton of times.

Yes. There's been a marked step down in animation and sprite work quality from the aborted build.

I am not here to argue tastes, just that having each and every type of monster girl end up in normal sex feels wasted. You don't need monstergirls for that, in fact there is plenty of games that makes use of femdom + normal sex.
Usually the idea behind monster girls is that they should use their monster part in some creative way (Like a slime girl that can shape every part of her body how she wants, or a spider girl making use of her threads). Some normal sex here and there is fine too (for MGs that are mainly humanoid), but not all of them.
I personally found the capture and tease animations more arousing the the final sex scene.

Nevertheless I think the game was enjoyable and the quality of the animation very satisfying.

Heck even creators who are exclusively into femdom stay like this for the most part like Zell23 and me.

That also would be one of the complains I have for "Saccubus Affection", where virtually every scene is mostly vanilla, while in FOBS there was a wider mix.
Still also for Zell works i can say I really enjoy the capture animations, which in my opinion for this kind of games are half of what matters H wise.
There are too many games out there that go straight from walking pose to sex pose without anything in between. I don't know for other, but for me that really takes a lot out of the immersion and arousal.

All in all I am just expressing my opinion based on my preferences.
I think creators should purse what they find fascinating. Only when someone is working on something they truly enjoy themselves can a really great product arise.
I've seem way to many titles with great potential come out bland and generic, just because they had to get a title out about what is popular right now.

 

[TheUnsaid]

Pretty sure the sexual content disparity is the same. The only disparity exists in maledom/femdom ratio.

Most scenes in FOBS is still blowjobs, boobjobs, vaginal sex.
There's no pegging.
There's no ballbusting.
No waxplay.

Still also for Zell works i can say I really enjoy the capture animations, which in my opinion for this kind of games are half of what matters H wise.

I don't understand. Capturing isn't an animation.
It's just a heart over their head.
It's the exact same scene as usual. If it's a BJ monster you'll capture the monster after getting a BJ.

Usually the idea behind monster girls is that they should use their monster part in some creative way (Like a slime girl that can shape every part of her body how she wants, or a spider girl making use of her threads). Some normal sex here and there is fine too (for MGs that are mainly humanoid), but not all of them.

How is it possible for a lamia to have normal sex? She doesn't have legs.
All the unique shaped monsters have sex in ways that take their unique traits into consideration. The ones that are more humanoid have sex like a humanoid would. I think preference wise DHM prefers the more humanoid girls, but he puts in some weird ones like the suck vore, and lamia.

EDIT: I do agree with this statement slightly though. It's not monster girl specific, but a general thing. If a girl has thick thighs I think it's good to have a thighjob. If a girl has big boobs, it's good to draw a boobjob.

Lack of gallery really isn't that bad. All enemies are accessible not more than 10 seconds into any checkpoint, I like how he designed it that way.

There are a few areas where it takes a while to see scenes at all-- for example, final boss scene takes literal minutes to get to actual sex.
