Subverse’s homophobic Fuccbots faction uses the trans symbol as its logo Studio FOW The end result is a game overseasoned with cultural references-to the point that the jokes sell the game’s writing short. There’s actually a lot going on underneath the surface there’s more gameplay and narrative than there is porn in the game. But Subverse isn’t just porn with a veneer of plot. Humor keeps things light, and a cringey joke can be excused if the fast-forward button is always near. Satire is well and good in a porn where plot is surface-level and everyone is there for the sex. These are all intended as a wink and a nod to Subverse’s core demographic: hardcore gamers and geekdom fans. Errak, an alien politician who aids the main character, suspiciously sounds like Patrick Bateman.Ī side mission involves a purple-skinned Gordon Ramsey-looking alien shouting “IT’S RAW.” Another references Gearbox Software’s Randy Pitchford supposedly leaving a memory stick with underage pornography at Medieval Times (it remains unclear if the USB stick actually contained illegal content). The Captain and his engineer repeatedly share their love for tentacle porn and futanari smut. A key plot point revolves around the Battle of Nü Vegas, a reference to Obsidian Entertainment’s popular role-playing game Fallout: New Vegas.

The game is full of video game, geekdom, and anime porn references that push the limits on the phrase “porn parody.” Jokes about mandatory gameplay training and asset store enemies abound in the tutorial.
Those details aside, Subverse is kind of a mess. Subverse’s voice acting is masterful, and its top-notch talent brings these characters to life. Pirate Queen Killision (or Killi) hails from a species obliterated by the Imperium and seeks vengeance on her kins’ behalf. Lily, the busty xeno biologist researcher, is a former military sniper turned ethically questionable scientist. Demi, the Captain’s onboard assistant, was an abusive pirate lord’s mainframe bot until the Captain rescued her and fostered a sexually anarchistic relationship with her. They’re surprisingly deep characters, often showing tragic backstories filled with trauma, betrayal, regret, and internal conflict. Deception, double-crossing, and hidden desires are prominent themes throughout the Imperium’s narrative segments, and the writing for these sections is interesting.īut Subverse’s greatest appeal is its women.
The Imperium is not just a big bad government but a Roman-esque empire hellbent on order and stability through any means necessary, including genocide. Then there’s Subverse’s overarching sci-fi political drama. Subverse’s combat levels are challenging but fair and show decent polish for an indie studio’s first game. Complete a mission, unlock sex scenes, rinse and repeat. That time is split between 360-degree bullet hell space combat, turn-based tactical battles, pre-rendered cinematics, and voice-acted 3D visual novel cutscenes. The initial six episodes clock in around five to six hours (excluding any solo time with the game’s unlockable adult segments). This involves an open-world nebula-wide romp fighting back against a molerat-like pirate lord-and a very intimate introduction to the game’s first three female companions.
The first part, which released on Friday, includes all of Act I and the start of Act II. Subverse’s early access release is split into episodic chunks. Afterward, players can purchase additional lewd animations through earning PP, or “Pooter Points.” Want more sex scenes? Take your crewmate on combat and ground missions to level up their “Devotion” for more PP. After successfully completing a “recruitment” quest, players unlock a special sex scene with their new spacefaring companion. The Imperium isn’t exactly popular, but it’s powerful, so the Captain must recruit an eclectic mix of well-endowed female companions to help with the ordeal. The Veil, in short, emphasizes unity through sexual purity, which it turns out is a great way to assert dominance over others. Players lead a growing rebellion of lewd crewmates against the Imperium, a galactic empire obsessed with its deeply conservative state religion, the Veil. Subverse casts players as the Captain of the Mary Celeste, piloting an enormous starship freighter souped up with a stealth drive and faster-than-light travel capabilities. Based on my time with the game, it’s mostly an apt comparison. Games journalists compared Subverse to an adult take on Bioware’s space opera role-playing game Mass Effect. The game, which launched in early access on March 26, raised approximately $2.3 million over Kickstarter in spring 2019.
