An enjoyable game that left me wanting more.
79%Henchman Story is a fun, endearing and extremely witty visual novel that not only pokes fun at superhero flicks and comics but celebrates them too. It is a beautiful game with stunning art, great voice acting and a fantastic soundtrack. While the lack of voice acting for the protagonist’s internal monologue was a little discombobulating at first, its absence is quickly forgotten. This is a wonderful visual novel with a lot of charm that will appeal to both comic book fans and fans of humorous visual novels.
