She ill Server is a lane-based Strategy game taking place in a world ravaged by a lab-created monster outbreak. We are one such monster, a humanoid appearing female simply known as Ex-ill. She is not capable of speech, but has set out to do what the scientist which released her from the test tube told her. I’m not entirely sure what that is. I can tell that the story is interesting, yet the what I assume to be Google-translated dialogue left me quite confused from start to finish as to what happened. It is functional enough to understand how to play the game, however.
The room we start off in is a safe place to learn how to control our character. She has a dash button that defaults to X, an attack bound to Z, and the ability to summon monsters with C. Using the S and D keys, we can toggle between all of the creatures at our disposal. We begin with a single type, so that is something to get used to on a later date. Finally, V is used to masturbate.. I’ll go into more detail about that in a bit. The main thing we need to focus on is the summoning aspect. We can not attack enemies directly, making learning how fast your creatures move and their abilities vital to staying alive.
Each creature you summon will cost you a red orb, which are shown under your health-bar. All the creatures no matter how strong will only cost a single orb. You start off with a small handful of them. It is really important to place your creatures strategically early game, otherwise, you will quickly run out and every creature summoned after will take a chunk of your health instead. There are a ton of creatures roaming around in the first level not belonging to you. Your forces are mostly to tip the balance in their favor and gain some huge rewards like hearts or items for clearing the room. Hearts are currency, while Items offer permanent stat boosts to either your orbs or health. Items can only be gained from clearing rooms, giving you quite a big motivation to do so.
An interesting gameplay feature is that you don’t even have to take part in most of the level. You can simply dash right past the battlefield between monsters & survivors to get straight to the boss fight. It will leave you under-leveled from all those upgrades you just left behind, though it is definitely doable. Being a monster yourself, you still gain Hearts for their actions, so you occasionally don’t even have to do a thing to get paid. That is a double-edged sword though. Sure hearts are currency, but they also get your character sexually excited. These monsters are not out to slaughter people, well at least women, they are reproducing with them. If your meter gets full, your screen will gain a pink effect on the edges of the screen and you will become public enemy number one.
When sexually excited, every monster that catches sight of you will attack and try to have their way with you. With the humans already wanting you dead, that makes everything you come across a hazard. More dangerous still is that the creatures get a buff in their speed and attack power, yet completely ignore the humans as they hunt you. In order to remove this effect, you have to masturbate with the V key. It does take some time to fully complete, making you a sitting duck for anyone close by. You can also masturbate before your character gets excited to prevent it, but keep in mind that doing so will still cause any monster that catches sight of the act to go after you.
Being horny in this game can be used to your advantage, however. Since they will target you and ignore all else, you can influence their movements by dashing and weaving around the area. Normally you can only control which direction they walk to before you summon them. Not only are the monster stronger and more powerful, but they also gain new abilities like being able to restrain people. That suddenly caused the humble starting zombie to be a far greater threat in numbers, as one can rend a foe unable to defend herself while another one attacks. Each creature gains an exclusive ability such as that, adding a significant amount of strategy for those that want to take the risk.
That strategy does make summoning creatures tricky. As soon as they spawn they will turn around to try to grasp you. Not ideal when you are already under gunfire. It is something I suggest doing only when you outnumber the humans or have a distraction. The enemies here are no joke. They are more than capable of defending themselves and even the most basic of them outmatches many of your creatures. It will require a good amount of brainpower to properly gauge and clear out a room. At least until you unlock the Pig creature. That beast renders most of your other monsters irrelevant.
Your attack while not being able to directly harm enemies, is quite a useful tool in your arsenal. The method of attack you use is pure energy. Attacking a fellow monster will supercharge it and eventually cause it to explode, causing splash damage to foes nearby. That is an excellent way to turn the tides of a battle or make use of a monster that is about to die, even if you didn’t summon them. There are four stages overall, and you can replay them at any time. The first level is easily the most difficult as you only have one type of summon and are at your weakest. It is not a particularity challenging game if you don’t try to clear most or any of the rooms that make a level. Every boss fight aside from the last has some type of gimmick that greatly favors you and makes them a breeze. Clearing the rooms is where the real challenge is, as some are quite well defended.
Coming back to a stage later on with your army of unstoppable Pigs will make any zone you had trouble with a walk in the park. This monster, in particular, is a tad overpowered. Not only does he take a ton of damage, but he also has the ability to draw in enemies from far away and grapple them leaving them unable to attack. That isn’t even when they are at their most dangerous, you can become sexually excited to overpower them even more. In any case, it is far easier coming back to previously completed levels to get into locked doors which only open once every enemy on screen is defeated, or to grind for more hearts. At least for stages 1-3, the final one twists the game in an unexpected, but pretty cool way.
There will be a lot of sex throughout your journey. Every enemy defeated will be violated by monsters, and even you yourself may end up a human-sized onihole for your allies. That sounds like it would get old fast, yet this title has so many variations and positions that it never does. Every single enemy has unique animations with every creature. More creatures can join in on the act too, upping the variations quite significantly. Your character has a ton of sequences to experience as well. If you like lewd pixel animations, you need this game in your collection, quite frankly. There are also animated CGs hidden throughout the stages. They are a nice bonus, but it is clear where the real effort went into.
Having sex doesn’t actually damage you, being attacked until you are defenseless does. If you find yourself both horny and cornered, you may just want to start masturbating so you can avoid losing health. It will still be a waste of time, however. Remember that the humans are no pushovers and have infinite ammo for their guns. The last thing you want to happen is to accidentally split up your forces as a portion of them penetrate you and the others get mowed down. One thing I wasn’t too fond of was that the enemies respawn immediately after leaving the screen. That makes exploring kind of a chore, and combat unrewarding as all your efforts are for nothing. It is really not worth fighting in a room you’ve already cleared as you will not get another item.
Defeating the fourth stage will net you the Extra mode. It is a place where you can summon both enemies and monsters to view all of the sex animations in a stress-free environment. You do have to purchase all of them with hearts though. There is nothing unlocked from the get-go. If you don’t want to bother with that, this title does include a 100% save that you can simply plop into a folder and unlock every bit of content. Whether you cheat or buy all of the women, once you do, a guide will be unlocked to show you all of the combinations possible with each character. You can alter the background, place characters anywhere, and even save the scene you created for later use. It is pretty good fun and a great addition.
When an enemy is being abused, you can go up to her for unique dialogue depending on both the creature type and how long they’ve been at it. She gets progressively more lewd as the sex continues. Sadly, the bad translation does kind of negatively affect this awesome feature. Every time a monster ejaculates, you will receive a nice chunk of hearts for sticking around. You can easily farm hearts by doing nothing, but remember that the more you collect, the more sexually excited your character gets. If you try to leave the game running in an effort to easily farm, you will come back to find Ex-ill now being part of the action. On that same note, it is worth mentioning that you can set the amount and density of bodily fluids After defeating the game, you also receive a mode where you control a human and can have intercourse with other humans.
The amount of H content that She ill Server offers is quite large. It lasted me around two hours to fully unlock everything. Gameplay-wise, it was fun but too unbalanced to want to continue playing more of. The Pig monster makes everything else nearly irrelevant, and the instantly respawning enemies once you leave a screen causes both combat & exploring to feel unfulfilling. Enemies can be pretty cheap as well, like the grenade thrower that forces you to use equally cheap tactics. This title doesn’t go on long enough that you stop enjoying the gameplay though. Another way to use your hearts is by purchasing cheats. These range from having infinite health or orbs, to creating shock-waves while you dash.
With the cheats, you can tweak nearly every parameter of this game. You can make it so monsters never attack you, change how large the sprites are, and a variety of other things. The only one I’d suggest getting for your first playthrough is Near. This allows you to zoom in and get a better view of what is going on. It is mostly just useful for getting a clearer view of the lewdness going on, whether it be with yourself or another enemy that has fallen to your horde of creatures. She ill Server is pretty unique all told. It is easily worth its asking price of 12 dollars, especially if you are a fan of sexual pixel animation, then it becomes a must-have title. The amount and variety of hentai content here is staggering and you get a solid, albeit short experience to playthrough.
