I might constantly rail against the industry's obsession with content, but that's because I firmly believe that artistic quality comes from any artwork being only as big as it needs to convey the full weight of its themes and ideas. Most games are far too long for that, trying to spread too little thematic depth over too much gameplay. This is a rare example of things being the other way around. There's so much potential here that the developers should have done a lot more with it. It's genuinely good fun while it lasts, and that's why I'm scoring it this high. Just don't expect to get more than an hour or two of game, with another hour or so for finding the best locations for topless photo sessions with this game's large... levels.

This game has boobs, support it! You have unclothed breasticles and get to shoot stuff, that's good enough to take my money.

What can I say about this game, it is kind of what the title says, I grab it out of curiosity, it was cheap and it was on sale so I thought why not? It is a short game the gameplay and animations are ok, nothing espetacular but neither horrible same for the music it's ok, the most hentai thing about the game was frontal nudity, for the price I think it's ok is a fun game to kill some time

Hoo boy, where to begin with this bit of anime gal cheesecake mixed with what’s ultimately highly generic play. Your goal here is really to stumble through and collect more stuff for your “visual stimulation” but since there are only two additional gals and a handful of new outfits it isn’t much. To unlock said content you’ll need to brave the game’s “ambitious” 2 modes which play almost completely alike in one of 3 pretty generically-themed environments shooting at brainless swarming monsters until you die… then go out again. In theory, the highlight of the game is the ability to make your character run around topless but the joke’s a bit on you if that’s your bag. Since you play in a behind-the-back third person perspective, unless you use the game’s photo mode you wouldn’t be looking at any of it to begin with. Calling this a cynical attempt to string together a bare minimum of listless and unbalanced gameplay then wrap it up in the ability to see virtual boobs, but only sometimes, may seem harsh… yet is accurate.

Garbage, with a paltry amount of content, for an inadequate price. It's not worth your attention.

I'd just like to give a quick warning that I talk about some NSFW stuff in this review. Shocking, I know.
Tl;dr There's an hour or two of dumb fun to be had here if you're morbidly curious and have low expectations, but once the novelty wears off, you're left with something utterly lifeless.
The basic gist of Hentai vs Evil is that you take control of a very generic looking anime girl who has to shoot her way through maps covered with hordes of equally generic enemies. The game has two modes, each giving you a different objective. There's the "Rescue" mode, where you need to kill 12 grim reaper enemies scattered across the map and go rescue a fellow anime girl locked in a cage, and then "Survivor" mode, where you just need to keep yourself alive for as long as possible. You have three maps to choose from in each mode, and two difficulty settings. There's no real story mode or anything, but you need to play rounds of Rescue mode to unlock stuff like characters and maps.
Like I said earlier, I did actually have some fun playing Rescue mode until I unlocked everything. Having the goal of killing the 12 reapers adds a (very, very vague) sense of strategy to what would otherwise just be mindless killing. Having to look for the reapers (and then the girl) also encourages you to explore the map and move around a bit. On a more broad level, the whole concept of an anime girl running around and gunning down hoards of zombies is just beautifully absurd and perfectly appeals to my dumb sense of humor. It took me about half an hour total to play through all three maps and rescue all three girls on easy mode, and during that time, I was more than able to turn my brain off and have some dumb, uncritical fun.
But even with my "turn my brain off" setting turned up to maximum overdrive, I could see a lot wrong with this game. And you can only keep your brain turned off for so long.
Everything about this game is half-assed, and I mean literally EVERYTHING. I'm hard pressed to think of even one aspect of this game that doesn't do anything more than hit the bare minimum. It's so weird to me that an actual, professional publisher decided to put their name on this.
For starters, this game **** aesthetically. The graphics would have looked outdated on a Wii game. Everything looks like a generic stock asset, from the maps to the enemies to the player characters, and nothing matches anything style-wise. All the visual customizations you can make on the player characters look generic and awful and none of them have any memorable features anyway. All of the music in the game is just as soulless.
The gameplay gets repetitive very quick. The guns you see in the game are the same guns you've seen in every other shooter game. Different weapons are scattered around the map for you to pick up, but as soon as you pick up the gun that's right in front of you when you spawn, there's no reason to switch. You never run out of ammo, and changing your weapon ultimately has little to no effect on the way a game plays out (except for the sniper rifle, that one **** ass). Now that I think about it, this lack of variation and change spreads to so many other things in the game. All of the enemies act the exact same way, all of the player characters play exactly the same, none of the maps have any meaningful distinguishing features.
As I said earlier, I had a tiny, tiny bit of fun with Rescue mode, but Survival mode is boring as hell. It just throws you in a game, slaps a timer on it, and that's it. There's no reason to do anything other than run and hide away from enemies.
Hell, even the NSFW aspect of this game is awful. There's an "Uncensored Mode" you can toggle on the title screen, but all it does is make the player characters' outfits kind of transparent. If you put on a certain outfit for each characters, you can get them topless, but otherwise it looks like they're wearing some kind of ghost dress or whatever. So they can't even do that right.
Also, in the settings menu there's an option where it shows you what the controls are, and it actually shows you the wrong controls. It says its 'A' to jump, but 'A' doesn't make you jump, 'B' does. 'A' doesn't do anything. This makes literally no difference on anything, but I felt the need to include it.
I bought this game out of morbid curiosity, so at the end of the day, I can't say I'm truly disappointed. But it does anger me that a game with such a stupid, fun premise ended up so boring and lifeless. I still believe in my heart that this game could have been really fun in the hands of a more competent, ambitious developer.
If you're like me and get some enjoyment from playing bad games just to see what they're like, then this could make for a fun one-time thing to do on a Friday night or something. Aside from that, this game has absolutely nothing of value to offer.
