Hentai games haven’t always been popular because the content was never able to be mainstream at the time (the 80s, 90s, etc).
I mean, Xbox, PlayStation or Nintendo wouldn’t have dared to release Hentai games at the time.
But now in the 21st century with the internet and the explosion of online games, Hentai games have found their way and have reached beyond the stars.
And there’s a reason for it.
Let’s talk about it.
Why Hentai games are popular:
1. The evolution of Hentai movies
Regular hentai movies are like any other form of entertainment. You watch it and are entertained by people or things on the screen, but you play no part in how any of it plays out.
With video games, you have some form of control. In fact, that’s the whole point. It’s why video games became famous and successful in the first place.
Hentai Games takes that even further by letting you influence what happens in the game but with explicit content.
You get all the perks of the gaming experience, and you get to do it with “stimulating” content that’s raunchy, horny and raises your heart rate.
2. A whole new experience
Hentai games are obviously not for everyone because of the type of content it is in the first place. So certain ages are out of the question.
But for those who are willing, able, and looking for something more interesting, hentai games offer a new experience that you can’t get from games for clear reasons.
In a regular FPS video game for example, like Halo, your main objective is shooting down the enemy. A typical style of FPS where you’re the good guy and they are the “bad” guys.
In a Hentai game in the genre of FPS, while some of these elements are similar, the side effects, the end result, and the reward are more sexual and “eye candy” in nature.
It gives FPS a new meaning.
3. Played by 100’s of millions of fans worldwide
Lust Goddess is a hot and thrilling collectible card game, in which you will assemble your unique squad of sexy mercenary girls.
The online hentai game Hentai Heroes is the most famous game there is in the Hentai gaming space. It has over 10M+ players worldwide.
Not many games can claim to have this kind of leverage and clout that aren’t “adult” related, but that’s part of the unfair advantage Hentai games have over regular games.
Nutaku, a platform for many Hentai games and developers, has over 100M+ visitors to their website every month (estimated). The demand for Hentai games is surprising but not so much.
Everyone (almost) gets excited at the thought of lewd content, and it does something to the brain that non-lewd content could never.
4. One of the seven deadly sins
I’m not talking about that anime. I’m talking about the seven deadly sins known as lust. This is sexual desire, plain and simple.
In my mind I can only imagine the reason for this is SOME gamers who play hentai games are devoid, starving, craving, and lacking any sexual contact with the opposite sex.
Or they’re simply teenagers (say 18 years old) who haven’t got any and lack the confidence to pull it off.
Or it’s just a matter of fans (and people) being interested in lewd content and getting off on it every now and then when they need entertainment. Which is no different to regular porn.
Either way, lust is at the centre of it.
5. Perfectly designed for online and mobile gaming

Like I said in the beginning, you won’t find hentai games for a video game console. And if you do, it’s not common and is in fact rare. That’s because of the obviously lewd content.
You won’t find it in a video game shop either (if they still exist).
But the internet is open, free, and can be leveraged to do things that would otherwise be censored. That’s why Hentai games fit perfectly with online and mobile gaming.
Fewer restrictions, more freedom, more opportunity for creators, and less censorship if the creator or platform is in control.
6. High demand, little supply
The adult entertainment industry has been and always will be in high demand as far as I see it. Especially for the near future. It’s the reason things like Onlyfans, which is another conversation, can exist.
With hentai games in particular there’s so much demand for it, and yet there aren’t 10s of thousands of hentai games readily available for it.
In reality, a dozen or so games dominate the space and are the ones people play the most. You could increase that number up to 50 or so.
The lack of supply plays into the industry’s favour as long as the games themselves are quality, and keep driving more demand with the little supply it seems to have.

7. Unfair advantage over regular video games
I mean think about it. Regular video games are successful, make money and all that good stuff. But the unfair advantage of selling games with lewd and naughty content has its benefits.
First of all the interest goes through the ceiling and blows past it. Because naked bodies do something to people that “clothed” bodies could never.
It’s the reason why Hentai itself is even more popular than regular porn, or the supposedly most famous people on the planet who are searched LESS than Hentai via Google and the internet.
Making a game genuinely good as well as having lewd content means you marry both things and create a new experience altogether (see point #2).
8. Much cheaper and practical
Digital has been creeping up on the gaming industry for years, and Hentai games took full advantage of that even before it became mainstream with consoles like Xbox or PlayStation.
Not only that, but Hentai games compared to regular games are a lot cheaper and more economical. I mean, everyone regardless of position can buy and play and enjoy hentai games.
The reward system in Hentai games is there for those who wanna take it to a whole new level and make the game more engaging.
–
In the end, hentai games are popular and successful because it works, it’s lewd by design, and the gaming mechanics are completely different.
These are a few of the many reasons why it’s successful and still thriving and will continue to thrive as long as the games have genuine development and quality behind them.
