Lovely Heroines

Full review at: https://thegamehoard.com/2019/11/30/lovely-heroines-pc/ Lovely Heroines has a decent artist working on it that can make nice comic book backgrounds and appealing leading ladies, but the limited room they have to work means Lovely Heroines depends solely on a smattering of adult imagery and nothing else. Its humor is repetitive and weak, its characters have flat personalities, and the heroines are only interacted with just enough to establish who they are before they play their role in the plot and are then put aside. If it had been funny or the game fleshed out the heroines and your interactions with them then it wouldn’t be so dependent on its small amount of adult content, but the writing surrounding it is mostly just functional. The comic book art and superheroine design is squandered on this bare bones visual novel. There are certainly the types of players who will just use the skip function to get right to the juicy bits of Lovely Heroines and those scenes aren’t bad despite being so lean in content, but providing context for them can increase the enjoyment of that content, and that is what Lovely Heroines lacks. We get to know the girls on a very basic level and romancing them barely deserves to be described with such a weighty verb, the process so quick and convenient that there’s barely any lead up to the player’s hero sleeping with the girl. If the humor had been done better than it could be just passed off as a comedy with some saucy bits, but the game isn’t creative at all, rehashing the same lines in a game that’s so short it’s impossible not to notice the recycled jokes. Lovely Heroines could have instead made the surrounding content more substantial, flesh out the girls and your interaction with them so it’s less about just getting to still images of them naked, or it could have even just provided more adult content to focus on its art and acceptable erotic writing. Instead, most of the experience is clicking through plain chats that abruptly shift to sexual subjects.
