dot-chan: Browser-based games count for

Browser-based games count for this blog, right? This is “Heroes of the Realm”, a hybrid CCG/4X game.  (http://www.kongregate.com/games/heroesoftherealm/heroes-of-the-realm if you care to take a look.)

This is, admittedly, a rather small sampling of its artwork, but some of it is pretty egregious.  Boobs and butts poses, centaur and snake hips (on otherwise bipedal humanoid races), impractical armor and outfits (not included in this collection: a nun with a boobwindow habit), sameface syndrome (that some of the male characters also suffer from, but generally it’s the ladies who suffer more), etcetera and so forth.

What makes all of this even sadder is that there are a few exception cases where the artist proves that they are capable of sound design for their female characters.

At least there are plenty of buff, shirtless men to look at, too.

It’s always fun to play a rousing game of Snakes and Daggers.
