Welcome back to Wankery Week! Today’s topic will be Not Safe for Work and/or anyone that has a general need to read about videogames but not sexual topics. Nothing wrong with that! We’ll get back to our regular programming regarding vaguely-non-sexual nerd stuff next post. But this week we’re issuing a basic trigger warning for all sorts of sexual material. Please be aware.
Eight years ago, the first Wankery Week Celebration was published on this very blog. Back in that bygone era, it was difficult to find games that were… shall we say… overtly horny. In fact, the basic premise of Wankery Week was not to focus on Senran Kagura or School Girl/Zombie Hunter, but games that exploited sexuality in less overt ways. Last year’s Fire Emblem: Fates was an excellent example, as it was a game where sex is literally essential to the gameplay (you’re popping kids out all over the place!), but the general narrative portrayed a cast that was about 75% virginal. I do not care if Corrin’s future child is sitting right there dragon-ing all over the place, you cannot tell me that “oh no let’s fight a war without killing anybody” protagonist fucks! But this is the way of sex in videogames. So often, the audience is gently nudged forward with characters and situations that may be sexy (or appeal to very particular fetishes), but with a sort of innocence that could allow the audience to claim obliviousness. Sure, you are ramming that pinball into a jiggling chest, but you’re doing it for the high score! Not because bouncing breasts are the best! Do you know how few pinball games get released every year, mom? I have to support the genre!
But, sometime since 2023, the curtain was pulled back. Now the pornography is out and proud. And occasionally rated T for Teen! Ladies and gentlemen (but mostly the gentlemen), welcome to the age of hentai!
Is it any good? Let’s give it a look!
Hentai Games Collection
RedDeer.Games
2024
Rated Teen – Mature
So we’re getting a little listicle here, because the Hentai Games Collection was easy to procure for a whole $1.99. It was on sale! From $69.99! Nice! I am practically saving money by purchasing it!
So what is contained in the Hentai Games Collection? Well…
Hentai Girls
RedDeer.Games
2023
Rated Mature
This is a “puzzle”, block sliding game where the puzzles are cute anime girls. As you solve more puzzles, the difficulty increases, and the women become more undressed. Some of the images start out sexual (like with the subject sitting spread eagle), while some are “slice of life” generic. Regardless, the titular “hentai girls” are going to be pretty close to naked by the finale.

Hentai Golf

2023
Rated Teen
Finally! Variety! The fourth and final game in the Hentai Games Collection is Hentai Golf. It is a remarkably basic golf game (dear Iwata banged this one out with HAL for the Famicom back in 1984), but with a few “hentai” features bolted onto the periphery. Like when you land your ball in a pond, you get a wet (but not that kind of wet [presumably]) image of your golfer. Also, if you manage to score par or under, your chosen heroine appears slightly less dressed than normal. Though, of course, it is like the other Hentai titles outlined above: we have a few static images of these three women, and there is very little difference between “anime golf girl” and “topless anime golf girl”. Yes, there is that whole tits thing going on, but that can only be exciting so many times before you remember that actual pornography exists…
Curiously, Hentai Golf wades into an unexpected issue with its shop description. By all accounts, you are playing as the hentai golfers. There are three women available, they appear happy or sad after every putt, and their scores and progress are assigned to their names. However, the eShop description states “SHOW THEM HOW TO DO IT” and “Prepare your tactic (sic), check the surroundings and impress girls with your skills.” So the implication there is that “you” are golfing, and the three women involved are totally separate from the actual big, strong man who is doing the golfing. The girls are just wearing visors for funsies!
And the feeling I cannot shake is that is that “Hentai Golf Manager” would actually be more alluring than the basic golf game we received. Change up a couple of spots in the presentation, add a few new dialogue options, and you could have a horny, golf-based version of Monster Rancher. Include one of those succubae for good measure! But what is important is there is a potential narrative. To be frank, there are people that get off on the idea of being a mentor to a sexy blonde that doesn’t know her wedges from her woods, and adding the tiniest bit of imagination to this fantasy would satisfy that. And it doesn’t even have to be your fetish! There is something inherently hot about up close and personal “sports training” (90% of all relationships start inside a seedy pool hall where a man with a permanent cigarette volunteers to teach trick shots), and even simple dialogue about “oh should I put the overwhelming weight of my chest here?” could help the whole Hentai factor.
This is a golf game, but like the other Hentai “games” that are just sliding block puzzles, it does absolutely nothing with the concept.
You want a Hentai game that gets creative? Well, we can leave the Hentai Collection and move over to…
Hentai Parody: Tentacle Slayer
Big Way
2024
Rated Mature
Everything about what I am about to type is going to sound like a fever dream, but I assure you nothing here is fake or embellished.
This is a visual novel with random minigames. You are a tentacle monster. In fact, you are two tentacle monsters, as the first tentacle monster is murdered about halfway through the story. The reason your tentacle monster does not survive is that the poor guy is slashed to ribbons by a thinly veiled, female expy of Tanjiro Kamado of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. Aside from the two tentacle monsters, all of the characters are either same-gender parodies of Demon Slayer characters, or “female versions” of the cast. No one wears a boar-head, but there are a strangely high number of catgirls. The plot is that tentacle monsters just love pleasing women and writing haikus, but Wannabe Tanjiro is kind of racist, so she is going to kill every single tentacle monster. This brings her into conflict with her sister, and the climax of the tale sees sister dueling sister for the love of a tentacle monster. As the eShop description states, it is “tragicomic”.
That report also notes “Encounter various QTE-style challenges without any jigsaw puzzles.” So designers Big Way know what is happening across the eShop.
Of course, I do not want to give the impression Hentai Parody: Tentacle Slayer is some shining bastion of unique Hentai gaming on the Nintendo Switch (Big Way, I authorize rejiggering that statement so it works as a glowing pull quote). The whole game is fifteen minutes long, and “two endings” do not exactly set the world (or my underwear) ablaze. But the gameplay is fun, the story is innovative, and the combination of titillation and narrative is something you cannot simply get from a JPEG.
But if you still want to go further into something that is engaging, sexy, and “Hentai”, we have to travel back a few years…
Hentai vs. Evil
Axyos Games, Catness Game Studios
2021
Rated Mature
What are videogames all about? Sex and violence! And Hentai vs. Evil is 100% sex and violence from forehead fetish to foot fetish. You control a generic anime girl, and she drops into a handful of arenas to rescue another, caged anime girl. Upon landing in any given town, city, or pirate’s cove (?), there are multiple guns available, and you will need those weapons to stomp the legions of evil that have kidnapped your half naked compatriots. Who are your opponents? Death! Zombies! Shrek! And you’re going to have to mow ‘em all down if you hope to survive to jiggle around another day!
Let’s be honest: there is nothing more titillating about Hentai vs. Evil than its first five seconds. You are not fighting to earn additional nudity or other racy rewards, and the additional Hentai Girls available are all “customizable” to the point that they may as well be the same. Give or take particular kinks, one bunny girl is not appreciably different from another bunny girl. You either get turned on by a bouncing ass wielding an AK-47, or you don’t. But while sexual variety is in short supply, Hentai vs. Evil does have actual gameplay variety. Every stage starts with an armory of guns, and it would be easy to assume that is all you will ever see. But there are in fact options hiding out amongst the monsters, and you better believe that picking up a rocket launcher makes for a more explosive experience. Additionally, the levels initially look like generic “skins”, but there are distinctions and variable strategies amongst the different maps.
And, Cthulhu help me, these tiny gameplay additions make all the difference. This is what makes a videogame, and easily makes Hentai vs. Evil the best game on the Nintendo Switch with “Hentai” in the title.
It is 2025. We have come a long way from playing boob-based rhythm games on the Playstation Vita. Not only is all porn throughout history only a click away from this very article, but you can even hop on some AI-based site, and generate unlimited anime girl slop tailored to your particular, inevitably centaur-based preferences. A game that has pictures of a whole three women in different states of undress isn’t going to cut it. Even if the game is 99¢, that is still 99 more cents than you need to plug into the infinite porn machine. The basic “block pushing” Hentai games available on the eShop are garbage from every possible angle. There is nothing redeemable there.
But Hentai Parody and Hentai vs. Evil? They’re not bad. They’re not great; they are barely games at all, but they’re not bad. And, hey, if a dominatrix with a shotgun blasting away at the undead gets you off, you could do worse for a couple of bucks.
There are good Hentai titles everywhere for those with the eyes to see. And, like, five bucks.
WW #17 Hentai Games Collection
System: This appears to only be on the Nintendo Switch. I figured there would be an exact duplicate on Steam, but I can only find games that are similar, not this exact collection.- Number of Players: This is the most single player a game has ever been.
- Could you play this with someone else in the room? No. Absolutely not. Hentai Games Collection is very clear in its intentions. About the only possibility you would get out of this one unscarred is if someone saw one of the mundane, generally clothed scenes that could maybe give the impression this is a fashion designer game. But your Hentai Girl is going to get down to her skivvies quickly.
- Favorite Hentai Girl: Misa is the blonde cover girl of Hentai Golf. She is 28, and plays golf. This is more depiction than can be provided for every other nearly anonymous Hentai Girl, so Misa wins by virtue of having the teeniest, tiniest bit of development.
- Unanswered Questions: All of the courses in Hentai Golf are floating in some weird, formless void where nothing exists beyond the bounds of the course. Is this meant to imply that the Hentai Girls have been trapped in this inescapable Hell, and golf is their only means of entertainment? Or did the programmers simply think there was no point in adding a few more border trees? The Hentai World will never know.
- Additional Options: You can download one of six different sets of customizable golf balls for Hentai Golf. Were these always free? Were they planned DLC to keep interest in Hentai Golf high with new, seasonal options? What is the point of even bothering to click just so you can have a zebra-print golf ball? Does anybody care?
For the sequel: Apparently Hentai vs. Evil has a descendant by the same developers, Anime vs Evil: Apocalypse. I am not playing any games without Hentai in the title this week, but it looks like the same game again with expanded mission objectives and a Teen rating. I’m not going to lie: if this winds up on sale for 90% off, I will probably give it a shot.- Did you know? RedDeer.Games also produces AAA Clock Gold. It was released in July of 2024, is a clock that displays on your Switch with different skins, and is currently priced at $99.00. DELTARUNE Chapter 1&2 for Nintendo Switch is free.
- Would I play again: I only played this collection for the article. I swear!
What’s next? Random ROB wants me to be honest with you: I have Mana poisoning, so the next few Fustian Gaming Challenge posts are going to follow their Even Worse Streams brethren, and focus on the Mana franchise. So, inevitably, we’ve got double Secret of Mana next week. Please look forward to it!
