The first time Mateo bends a senator's wife over her own balcony, overlooking the crumbling spires of New Antioch, I actually laughed. Not because it's funny, but because the game knows exactly what it is. A power fantasy wrapped in a dying world where your dick is just another weapon. She's been blackmailing you, this milf with political connections, and the scene flips so fast. One dialogue choice and suddenly she's the one begging, her expensive silks bunched up, the whole city watching if they bothered to look up. The writing doesn't pretend it's high art. It's horny and violent and sometimes both at the same time.

The dungeon crawling bits feel like they're from a different game entirely. You're supposed to be this feared enforcer, right? But then you're poking around ancient ruins, triggering traps, finding lore about the reproductive crisis that's killing humanity off. It's weirdly compelling even when the monster encounters get... intimate. There's this one scene with a tentacled thing that I'm still not sure was supposed to be hot or horrifying. The game doesn't care. It just moves on to the next humiliation, the next rough scene where you're dominating some virgin noble or getting teased by a faction leader who knows exactly what you are. The pov shifts during sex scenes are disorienting in a good way, like you're not fully in control of what you're seeing.

I wish the harem management had more bite. You collect these women through blackmail and conquest and sheer apocalyptic charisma, but they mostly just... wait for you. A DLC where they scheme against each other, where your choices actually risk losing one, would make the netori hits land harder. The humor is accidental half the time, I think. Or maybe not. There's a scene where you're balls deep in an enemy commander while her troops are banging on the door, and the dialogue options include quoting old world poetry. I screenshotted that. The graphic violence toggle is a lie by the way. It's always graphic. The dystopian setting is just window dressing for getting your rocks off, and honestly? That's fine. Sometimes you want a game that knows you're here to see a feared enforcer ruin people in every sense of the word. The romance subplot with the childhood friend is surprisingly tender though, which just makes the next rough scene with a monster girl feel like emotional whiplash. Not complaining.
