About the story
Henchman Story is a narrative adventure where you play as a beleaguered henchman working for a bumbling supervillain. It’s thankless work. Week in and week out, you put on your purple spandex and get the crap beaten out of you by much stronger, much cooler people wearing much fancier spandex. But the checks clear, and Lord Bedlam offers healthcare, so a job’s a job, right? Even henchmen have bills to pay, and sometimes, even henchmen can make choices that change everything.

RPG Fan
By Neal ChandranAn enjoyable game that left me wanting more.
NookGaming
By Wes PlayfairHenchman Story is a hilarious ride with a real heart to it, and its comic book style and full voice acting make it stand out from the crowd of English language visual novels. It’s an easy recommendation, especially if you’re looking for a change of pace from the usual anime-adjacent fare that visual novels are known for.
GameSpew
By Chris McMullenBut for the most part, Henchman Story is a funny, fulfilling ride though the frequently silly, occasionally grim world of supervillains and the poor, overlooked souls who serve them.
The Game Crater
By Tom WilsonHenchman Story is a fun, endearing and extremely witty visual novel that not only pokes fun at superhero flicks and comics but celebrates them too.
Digital Chumps
By Nathaniel StevensIf you’re looking for a visual novel that delivers almost everything perfectly, then look no further than Henchman Story.
