The Hentai Game Genre is a popular Japanese animated gaming classification that brings into play characters that are explicitly sexualized.
Hentai itself is a subgenre of Japanese anime and manga.
The Hentai game genre offers explicit games that depict sexy characters that people generally love.
The characters are easily distinguishable- with large breasts, shapely legs and cute faces with luscious lips and dreamy eyes.
Even the voice of the characters can be termed as ‘cutely sexy’!
This genre of pc games has fantastic adventures with overtones of great sex and that is one reason for its huge success and popularity.
What is a Hentai game?
A Hentai game is an erotic game that may or may not be explicit.
Also known as ‘eroge’ or ‘erotic’ the game genre is usually explicit with the characters featuring in them coming straight out of fantasy.
The Oxford English Dictionary describes the word ‘erotic’ as “Relating to or tending to arouse sexual desire or excitement.
” So, when we speak about Hentai Games, we are invariably referring to erotic visual games that can be adventurous, sexy and satisfying at the same time.
Therefore, Hentai games are mostly adult anime games that come with a heavy dose of sexual content.
Titillation is the name of the game and that is a surefire way to grab eyeballs and more.
The success of this genre is mainly due to the fact that the games usually have a plot or a storyline.
More importantly, you get to control the characters in the adventure.
One prime example of a hentai game that comes to mind is the Vampire Notes.
This game allows you to play the character of a vampire girl.
This Vampire girl has not seen human beings before and therefore has no clue about what to expect.
Now the moot question is can she be seduced or sexually exploited?
Will she let you in or deny you the pleasure?
Well, you have control over that.
You can play your fantasies and live it up.
The choice is entirely yours!
Hentai Games are very detailed and use the anime style to great advantage.
The characters are usually depicted as very sexual.
They have dreamy eyes with long eyelashes, a perky nose, full, sexy lips, and a very immaturely sexy voice.
Needless to add, they have well-formed and huge breasts, a slim waist with an exaggerated hip, and long sexy legs.
Even the sexual organs are explicitly displayed to the minutest details.
The male characters are also equally descriptive.
One standout feature is that they almost always have enormous penises.
Why Are Hentai Games So Popular?
There are millions of fans out there who play hentai games which only means that the business is really flourishing.
Games attract gamers to the storyline in ways that movies cannot do, which is the reason gamers become attached to certain games and make them favorites.
Without a doubt, the success of this genre is due to the interactivity offered while you are gaming.
Be it great adventures with subtle porn in between or an overt display of sex, there are takers for it all.
The fact that you can insert yourself into the game as a character of your choice and have all the fun instead of just watching, is a huge winner!
However, it would be unfair to say that hentai games do not offer stories and its popularity is only due to the sex depicted in them.
Some of the top-selling games are actually based on great stories with wonderful characters and only just a subtle hint of sexuality in them.
So, there are gamers who are also interested in stories and relate to the characters depicted therein.
They relate to the storyline and to the emotions.
It also boils down to the game’s interactivity- whether the gamer can deeply interact or not.
Games are actually fun to play and score when compared to a visual story that needs just watching.
A good puzzle game, for instance, encourages the gamer to plan carefully and watch his moves.
The sex part is an added bonus most of the time.
Perhaps an incentive for having played a good game!
What Takes Some Games to the Top Sellers Bracket?
The popularity of a hentai game is mostly driven by the gameplay rather than other aspects.
This is proved by the fact that the hugely popular games are more based on the game itself and the subtle addition of sexual content.
On the other hand, a totally adult sex game with very few gaming elements in it does not tend to go to the top of the charts.
The gaming itself is an important factor although a customer may act purely on his impulse when it comes to sexual content.
That is why a game with great graphics and fun mechanisms goes on to make it to the top of the popularity charts.
However, a game that targets only sex in precise sexual aspects may not find as many takers, because they may be categorized as sex fanatics!
The Hentai Game Fans
The hentai game fans are of varying age groups and gender.
Actually, age is no bar, and neither is gender identity.
There is, however, a common thread- all of them are interested in women, sexually!
With the kind of sexuality displayed by the erotic feminine characters, that is simply a no brainer.
But then, most hentai games are targeted at a male audience.
This is evident from the fact that hentai games invariably feature voluptuous feminine characters as love interests with very few exceptions.
These characters are always well endowed and beg to be taken.
This is not to say that there aren’t titles that target women- there are those too.
The newer hentai games are looking to localize the characters and attract fans by focusing on a variety of sexual inclinations and characteristics.
The interactive games depend more on the storyline and the art component to push their wares.
Of course, the catchy art that has become so famous worldwide is naturally endearing to people from all walks of life.
Quite naturally, that is the underlying common factor- other than the sexuality, that is.
They are also looking to traverse newer pastures to keep things moving ahead.
Gamers are being checked for particular fetishes which can be developed upon and used in the newer games.
All said and done, hentai games featuring male protagonists and female love interests are bestsellers.
That fetishes charm most of the gamers is no secret.
When you generalize, it is always back to the basic need for sexual satisfaction.
Sex is still quite a personal subject and some types of ideas or fetishes have very few takers.
So, the fact remains that for every person who is attracted to a certain type of sexual fetish or expression, there is always somebody who does not approve or is repulsed by it.
This is an eternal fact, and one well known in the gaming industry.
Bible Black
While there are thousands of hentai or eroge games available, we are not discussing them all here.
However a few need special mention.
So, here is Bible Black.
Bible Black was created by ActiveSoft way back in the year 2000.
Since then, many adult adaptations were made, mostly by Milky Studio.
The first of these was named Bible Black.
A year later, Bible Black– the Origins, was made.
Later, in 2004 came the “New Testament”.
The latest, called Bible Black Only, is an OVA version that explains the happenings at the time of Bible Black.
Dividead
Dididead is an adult hentai game released as far back as 1998.
The game deals with the supernatural and the sexual and is in the adult horror category.
While parts of the game are totally violent and bizarre, others are cheerful and erotic.
All that the gamer needs to do is solve the supernatural mystery.
The plot revolves around a bedridden child suffering from a mysterious disease and wondering if he would live to be an adult.
Divi Dead gets better but soon lands in terrible supernatural settings and events that could get him killed.
Can you save him?
Shuffle
‘Shuffle!’ is yet another popular hentai game from Japan.
It is based on the romantic life of a Japanese high school student.
Apparently, a bevy of beautiful girls from differing backgrounds is after Tsuchimi Rin, our hero.
Shuffle depicts the story of humans who are living in close concurrence with the gods as well as the devils- all together.
In spite of all the hassles and their positivity and negativity, they seem to be in perfect harmony.
They are all kind and cheerful.
The task of the gamer is to choose for Rin a lover from amongst the girls.
Who would you choose?
