Total Drama Harem

Being a fan of the show that Total Drama Harem is parodying I was very excited to have some time to check this game out over the weekend. It is not a perfect game by any means, but it has some charm to it and if you are a fan of the show, you will probably get a kick out of seeing some of your favorite characters getting into some fun lewd situations I know that I certainly did. Anyway, as I put a few hours into it, I wanted to share my thoughts on it.

A Total Drama Indeed

The show that Total Drama Harem is a parody of is Total Drama. I used to love this show back in the day, it was like a parody of Survivor and other reality TV show competitions. The premise of this game is kind of similar, but it has a lewd twist. Cody is the main character (who if you have seen the show you will know all about) and we are basically trying to help him win and of course, get laid with a harem of beautiful women that will drop their panties whenever he asks. Seeing Cody go from the geek on the show to the stud on the island is fun stuff.

What Is A Parody?

I have played many different lewd parodies over the years, some good and some bad and I would have to say that Total Drama Harem falls somewhere in the middle when it comes to being a parody. The game feels like it is playing it straight which is a big no for me. Hey, I could just be being dumb and not realize that it is just a satire, but I never got that impression when I played it. There were some funny moments in the story that reminded me of the humor the show had, but for most of the story, it felt very random and not like it was a parody of the Total Drama show.

Show Me The Boobs!

One thing that is a plus with Total Drama Harem is that the game does not mess around when it comes to the lewd content! This is probably best described as a very light lewd RPG. The gameplay has you chatting with characters so there is a bit of lewd visual novel stuff going on here. You also have some very basic combat and a range of mini-games too. I was impressed with the variety here and how it never made you wait too long until the next lewd scene, but none of the stuff here is amazing. However, it is not bad either, I think with just a bit more wit and humor to the story, it would have made the gameplay feel better.

All That And A Bag Of Chips!

How about that for a classic 90s reference? Anyway, the presentation of Total Drama Harem is something that I liked, but I am a fan of the show. They capture that rather jaggy look of the Total Drama series very well here and that was something that made me smile. It also made me smile how we got our first lewd scene like a minute or two into the game. The lewd content due to the design of the characters is probably not going to get you off, but the sound design in the game is what drags it down. There is an oral sex scene that sounds like the character is eating a can of Pringles! I ended up turning the sound off and found the presentation way better as a result.

Pros:

• If you liked the Total Drama show you will get a few kicks out of this
• The art is very similar to the show
• It wastes no time getting to the lewd content
• I appreciate how they tried to keep the gameplay varied and fun

Cons:

• The story needed way more humor in it
• The sound effects in the game are brutal!
