Latex & Tentacles is an action RPG, that immerses players in a provocative and controversial world of domination, corruption, and body transformation, where you take on the role of a tentacle monster seeking to corrupt and conquer. Combining elements of real-time strategy, role-playing, and explicit adult themes, since everything is represented with sexual acts, even the defensive structures are enslaved women who are
subjugated by tentacles in various ways, similar to what you can see in the hard BDSM genre with leather and sex toys, which could well resemble more a medieval torture.

The narrative is intentionally simple or minimalistic, focusing on the player’s role as a malevolent tentacle creature bent on corrupting the world. There’s no deep lore or character development; the story serves as a loose framework for the game’s explicit content. You invade towns, capture humans, and transform them into submissive minions, with the ultimate goal of global domination.

The gameplay of this title is a sort of hybrid of action RPG and real-time strategy, drawing comparisons to games like Dungeons 3 and Little Fighter 2. During the first part, you play as a tentacled creature whose mission is to attack cities, capture people and turn them into minions, for which you have to fight in an isometric terrain against the inhabitants you want to enslave. The combat is quite simple in this part, being only a mix of melee and ranged attacks, using two mouse buttons, plus you can also choose to consume the girl (instead of enslaving her) to recover health in battle. A negative point of this first part of the gameplay is that the isometric perspective and sprite-based characters make it difficult to judge positioning, leading to clunky and imprecise attacks, so it becomes difficult to align attacks properly, and obstacles like trees or weeds can trap characters and disrupt the flow of battle.
The second part of the game corresponds to the RTS part, where you have to defend your base from enemy attacks, where the core mechanic is to use humans and turn them into minions or “seedbeds” to generate resources like tentacles, sperm, milk or eggs. With these resources you can build defenses like walls, turrets, traps, ground slowdowns, etc. Although you have to keep in mind that you are not only using the resources from the seedbeds, but you are literally turning the enslaved girls into these buildings (similar to the zerg race if you hace played Starcraft 2), so you have to balance how you use this, if in resource generation, character upgrade and offense very well.

In general this game seems to me an interesting bet for the adult genre, getting a real-time strategy gameplay that is rarely seen. but unfortunately its execution in its gameplay despite having a strong conceptual foundation has ended up being somewhat disappointing due to its clunky mechanics, poor map design, and a steep learning curve (since some tutorials are missing and throw you right into the action, which can be very confusing if you've never played a similar game like StarCraft2). In terms of visuals I have no complaints, although it opts for a different artistic style than its predecessor, as it was the pixel art, this is very well done, erotic, suggestive and manages to convey that feeling of hard BDSM. Finally, regarding the sexual content, this is very present in the entire atmosphere of the game, from the buildings, the sexual executions that you can do during combat, although on the other hand the sexual scenes in full screen when there are few, so they leave you wanting more. Compared to Latex Dungeon, Latex & Tentacles feels like a more ambitious but less cohesive project, it is noticeable that it lacks some adjustments to make it fully enjoyable for both veteran and novice players, even so I have no qualms in recommending it as it is quite unique and once you get used to its controls and find out how its mechanics work it is quite enjoyable, especially if your thing is tentacles and BDSM.

This is kind of strange Starcraft I ever played, especially my zerglings had some huge cocky.
