HentaiHeroes
Overview
Hentai Heroes is the browser game that started Kinkoid's harem series, and it is still one of the most played adult games around. You guide a hapless hero through a string of parody worlds, recruiting characters inspired by famous anime and games and unlocking uncensored scenes as their affection grows. It plays as a light RPG. There is a story mode, arena battles against other players, a market, and a pachinko machine that hands out random rewards, with stats and a battle system that are better designed than you might expect. Early progress is quick and generous, and global rankings add a competitive edge. Everything runs on energy that refills over time. Later in the game the wait gets longer, the grind sets in, and the temptation to buy premium currency grows.
