BROK the InvestiGator - Prologue
(Disclaimer: I was involved in this game as a voice actor, though not for anything in this demo. I’ve not been pressured to write a positive review, however, and went into this game blind. My thoughts are my own.)
TL:DR? It’s fresh. It’s fun. It’s free. Go play it.

I was really pleasantly surprised by this game. When you work on projects within the indie game world, you always hope that they turn out great. From everything this demo showcases, Brok has the moxie and charm to be something special.

Completed on Hardcore difficulty with a wired Xbox 360 controller. (Also my first ever review; apologies for the formatting)
The best way to describe my experience with this demo is that it’s a game I never knew I wanted. I found BROK mainly because I was bored but also because Steam related it to Disco Elysium, so I was inclined to try it. After my first few playthroughs, these were aspects of the game that stuck to me most.
Gameplay and Features
The voice acting is phenomenal. Casting is on point, especially Brok’s voice actor (Bryan J Olson) who makes Brok a very charming individual with his animated delivery.

ARENIX
Start in a small box arena, little slow-moving skulls appear and you shoot them. Guns spawn randomly and you pick them up and they quickly deplete after 10 shots or so. Try to pick up new weapon or you’re helpless. Guns appear and disappear seconds later, and you move so slowly you can rarely get across the map to even pick them up before they disappear.
I’m a complete sucker for twin-stick shooters, it takes a lot for me to Thumb’s Down a twin stick… But since this game is incredibly slow, unfun, RNG heavy and one-dimensional I have to say no. Nothing fun about this, needs months and months more work to be even remotely qualify as a good time waster. Not expecting AAA for this price, but at the same time you don’t expect to be bored to tears within 2 minutes.

Beat The Moles
The gameplay of Beat The Moles is a complexity unknown to other games. You may think you only have to click each mole until they reach their untimely demise at the end of your hammer. However, this is not the case
The moles still spawn after the screen goes black. Meaning you can obtain a higher score than normally achieved by mortal hands.
The moles have no pattern. They appear like the beautiful sunrise, elegant and graceful. You then strike them down with your weapon as fast as you can. The moles do not die, they simply return to whence they came.

Save One More
Save One More:
One of the many honourable serviceman on the battlefield is the one with the role of the Medic. These individuals are exposing themselves to the same dangers and fears as any other soldiers in battle. Not only do they have to dodge bullets and upcoming bomb shells, just like any other warrior, but their primary job is to get to their wounded comrades as fast as possible, without thinking twice about their own life. They definitely have a super sense of hearing to be able to make out the call, “Medic,” between explosive shells and whistling bullets. What courage these men must have in such chaotic situations, motivated by the thought, “I must save one more.”

A nice twist on war gaming
Short good game. I quite like art style.
A few tweaks would make a huge difference:
Firstly:
cut scenes should be skipable.
secondly:
the game displays wounded/saves/dead if one soldier goes down 5 times and you save it 4 times before it dies score would be 5/4/1\. when your dealing with groups of 20 or 30 soldiers its very hard to tell how many units are currently down. Quite a few times I though I'd revived all wounded only to have the dead count surprise me by going up.

Broken minigames, broken achievements, stolen artwork. Avoid like it was cancer.
The game also used to be a completely different one before being changed into a hentai-animu cash grab.

## Mystic Space
Why make the colors of the enemy bullets so hard to see? This is not a good for people with vision problems. I could hardly see some of the non-red bullets.

Pretty Hard and VERY high paced.
