Made by studio Kinkoid, publisher on Nutaku. I’m hearing whispers from my industry contacts that Harem Heroes has been damn profitable for the startup four-man studio. I can understand. This game is a literal dopamine bomb.

Harem Heroes is written in tongue and cheek; the story begins with you fapping to a classroom of people having sex. Suddenly a sexy rabbit girl comes out of nowhere to invite you for fucktime. You chase her with your dick waggling about and tumble down the rabbit hole, like Alice in Wonderland. In this fantasy world, girls are hoarded into harems by misogynist macho dudes. You are the chosen savior of the land’s females; the ultimate nice guy with a SUPER SAYAN PENIS.

Harem Heroes has a visual novel style storymode. The content is gated by a stamina system; each new scene drains your stamina points. The points regenerate over time, so with patience, you will see all the sexy scenes. Besides sexytime, you can spend time grinding money, play PVP RNG simulations, and upgrade your girls‘ levels and money-making capabilities, and gamble. You get one free gamble a day!

Honestly, I found many of the stats and mechanics in the game, arbitrary. Just grind money in the harem pane, and buy the best equipment that’s being sold. Keep your girls leveled up, so their damage is always higher than your opponents’. Perhaps because I work all day on my laptop running my startup online business, I am grinding more cash than any of my opponents, so my bitches are decked out. Ever since starting this game, I have been winning 100% of my PVP RNG simulations. Yey! It feels emotionally rewarding, because the human brain is fucking retarded.

Most of the game is centered around town actions. If you know RPGs, towns are seldom the place you stay for too long. In Harem Heroes, town actions are the game.

The game has a cash shop, as expected of free to play business models. There’s many things to spend cash on, like gambling for new girls and epic items, accessing porn scenes faster, refreshing stocks in the store, etc. Upgrading girls also has a cost: 10k in-game money, or 150 kobans. None of this is mandatory, if you just sit and play the game. Don’t tell your mother what you bought on her credit card.

If you decide to buy shit in this game, consider that 500 nutaku gold = 5€. With 20€, you get 460 kobans. That pays for 4 affection level upgrades on your girls (upgrade costs 150 kobans), or you can max your energy 11 times. Each energy top up is worth maybe ~20% of a scene. I recommend getting the affection upgrades, because the girls reduce clothing and fetch more money. More money is always lovely.

Things I didn’t like: The user interface seems sluggish. It takes about 2 seconds for your commands to go through. The buttons in the interface are also tediously small, making the game feel archaic, rather than sleek and modern. And the music, while chill and memorable in its way, is the definition of repetitive. Seriously, when I’m not playing, I keep hearing the beat inside of my skull.

There is no voice acting or sound effects. This single musical piece is the sole thing you hear the entirety of your playing experience. I’m almost suspecting it’s a subliminal trick based on the latest corporate research into human behavior.

Fact: the quality level for hentai games in the west is very, very low. This game is the best fap fodder on Nutaku, it features nothing but voiceless, brainless sex scenes drawn in a simplistic artstyle that’s fappable and distinct, but nothing special. The game is built around the free to play business model that includes a fatigue system which deliberately slows down your progress to gauge you for money. It is a collection of tried and true addiction-inducing game mechanics from leveling up to harem collecting to grinding items and currency.

Harem Heroes is casual fun for multitaskers working to build a career, wanting minor sexy RPG distraction breaks here and there. Punch that bitch’s pussy, and start fapping for free. Play this game for free.
