After a significant development period supported by Patreon backers, Full Frontal Frog's "Oh So Hero! Act 1" has officially launched, and itβs quite the experience if you're seeking a furry platformer with a heavy dose of explicit male-on-male content.
The premise is certainly unique: aliens arrive on Planet Aeter and propose a "Gerrabacco tournament." This isn't an invasion; the aliens initially broadcasted peaceful intentions. Participants in this planet-wide contest fight and fornicate their way towards the "Emeralds of Power." You step into the shoes of Joe, a "dragonesque" hero , navigating a 2.5D Metroidvania world. The core gameplay loop involves platforming, combat, and then engaging in explicit "intimacy" with defeated enemies to regain Health Points (HP) and fill your Special Power (SP) meter.
The platforming is solid, with new abilities typically unlocked by finding specific items. You'll start with basic punches , but will soon discover items like "Ass Masters: Limited Edition," a book granting a ground slam ability, and "Lono'e Natural Loob," which enables a slide maneuver. Players can also seduce enemies and utilize special attacks like the "Crescent Moon Special," which consumes SP. Exploration is encouraged, with an in-game map (obtained from the NPC Ket ) to help you navigate interconnected zones like Sheo Islands Beach, Treewish Forest, and Brask's Jungle. Combat is a mix of brawler-style encounters and rhythm-based interactions during the game's sexual scenes.
The world is populated by a colorful cast of NPCs, including Ket the tortavi (a turtle-like creature) , Cas in his workshop, and K.Ren, a flirty, pervy chihuahua in a japanese schoolgirl uniform. Many characters are, true to the game's nature, quite willing to engage with Joe.
Artistically, "Oh So Hero! Act 1" has made significant strides from any earlier demos. The backgrounds are more detailed, and the character animations, particularly during the explicit scenes, are incredibly well-drawn and fluid in high definition. The gallery mode allows for repeat viewing of all encountered animations, complete with pan, zoom, and frame-by-frame controls.
