Evil Is Sexy has been dewicked.


* EvilIsSexy: As befitting for servants of the Devil, the main characters of every game may not be very nice in personality, but they look very nice in appearance.

* CultClassic: Despite the AudienceAlienatingPremise problem mentioned above, the games have proven successful enough to warrant sequels.

Added DiffLines:

* UnderusedGameMechanic: Adding rooms to the castle in the first game doesn't really serve any benefit. The specialty rooms end up being redundant since you can just run back to the power crystal to enable every strategic option at once, which is made easier by, you guessed it, keeping your castle at the smallest size.

** Also in the first game, the door separating the foyer and the east hallway never gets unlocked during play, limiting your navigation options around the castle for no good reason.

* Catharsisfactor: Humiliation style traps in 4. To get bonus Ark you need to meet Requirements. Said requirements need cooperation of AI controlled victims. A joke here or there can greatly relieve the Player's stress.

!''Deception'' video game
* AudienceAlienatingPremise: You play a dyed-in-the-wool VillainProtagonist in service to evil who tortures and kills numerous victims, while the games take great pains to show you that they're actual human beings with lives of their own that you're gleefully ending. Not hard to reckon why the series' mainstream appeal has been a bit limited.
* CultClassic: Now going five games strong, and none of them have had a particularly strong following.
