    The game's story is widely criticized for being shallow and poorly developed, with many reviewers noting a lack of engaging plot and relatable characters. While some acknowledge the satirical intent behind the narrative, they argue that it fails to elevate the overall experience, resulting in repetitive missions and uninspired cutscenes. Overall, the consensus is that a more substantial story could significantly enhance the gameplay.

    • “I understand this is a satirical jab at the horde-wave shooter genre, but you can be funny while simultaneously weaving a decent plot with endearing protagonists.”
    • “The slightest attempt towards developing an okay story and relatable characters would elevate the experience somewhat.”
    • “Summarizing, it would be a fun game if there were more stages, a more engaging story, and eliminating bugs.”
    • “It's obvious the devs didn't give a single fudge-brownie about the storyline or what constitutes positive character development.”
    • “The story is not a strong side of this game (cutscenes are terrible), the loop of each level is the same including missions which have only two types (excluding boss fights with one enemy type).”
    • “The animation is lotion smooth, though the story is tissue thin.”
  • gameplay11 mentions

    The gameplay in "Hentai vs Evil: Back 4 Waifus" features improved mechanics over its predecessor, with enjoyable run-and-gun elements and well-sized levels. However, players note the lack of essential shooter mechanics like dodging and crowd control, leading to some frustration with aiming and overall difficulty. While the game has potential, it suffers from incomplete mechanics and rough edges that detract from the experience.

    • “A really fun game with very noticeable feature improvements and gameplay mechanics over the previous title 'Hentai vs Evil: Back 4 Waifus.'”
    • “Run and gun shooter mechanics feel pretty good and the levels are a good size.”
    • “The shooting mechanics are good, but shooting enemies very close and the bullets don't land where they should.”
    • “You can run, jump, mother friggin crouch (which, and I cannot stress this enough, has absolutely no implementation when the game revolves around shooting zombies, collecting money, doing missions, and beating stages. No, it doesn't stabilize your aim, not like you'd have time to care about that anyway. Crouch is the most useless mechanic in this game 100%). But dodge?”
    • “It is missing some core shooter mechanics like dodge/dive and crowd control actions like grenades.”
    • “This game has promise, but has incomplete mechanics, wayfinding, and a lot of rough edges and jarring 3D art.”
  • graphics8 mentions
