The Preposterous Awesomeness of Everything

BEFORE YOU BUY:

-Is the game is on sale?

-Do you like Point and Click Adventure Games?

-You are in the mindset for something different?

IF YOU SAID YES TO MOST: Then try the demo before buying it anyway. It’s a surreal PnC-AG that needs to be tried.

IF YOU SAID NO TO MOST: Play the demo anyway. Even if you bought the game, the demo is right in the full game and is worth a play.


Crunched Review:

–Developer Front Page BS: None (Well, the joke about white blood cells was closer to a simile, but that’s nitpicking)

I kind of loved this game, I think this game must be one of my guilty pleasures! I enjoy point and click adventures and I hadn’t played a point and click game for a while. So maybe that is why I really loved this one so much.

I think this game is original and unique with an equally unique and really effective art style. The story is fun and satirical, but in an intelligent way. It feels very well written and crafted and not just random silly ideas thrown together in a rush.

Point and click games can get very frustrating as it is very slow to walk from one area to another and to another to try different things. As this game is short, it does not get too frustrating.

Viktor, a Steampunk Adventure

Viktor, a Steampunk Adventure

You’d think the basic premise is as crazy as it gets: you play as a recently laid-off street-sweeper who sees no easier way of improving his situation than to oust the emperor. But no! As you’ll quickly find out, that’s just the beginning of the madness - and your journey between here and there will be anything but straightforward. You’ll meet plenty of outlandish, bizarre characters - starting with your best friend Martin, a self-proclaimed psychic, who’ll seem completely bonkers at first, but will actually guide you through the adventure with his cryptic but strangely insightful hints. The steampunk Austria-Hungary is populated by various strange figures that sometimes don’t quite fit - but then also some historical figures figures whose presence makes perfect sense both in the setting and the gameplay itself, rather than being just posterboys for the epoch. The game really delivers on the steampunk factor, too. You’ll actually get to operate a blimp and meet steam-powered automatons. There’s actually so much love for other sci-fi genres - and technology in general - sometimes very straightforward, sometimes laugh-out-loud hilarious, sometimes brilliantly meta.

Viktor, a Steampunk Adventure is an old-fashion point & click adventure game which tells the story of Viktor, a grumpy but ambitious wild boar’s quest of becoming the new emperor of Austria-Hungary in a semi-realistic steampunk world.

The hand-drawn cartoonish artstyle and the tastefullly chosen classical background music create a delightful world for immersion, which I really appreciate. There’re lots of interesting characters for you to meet and interact with, making your journey more dramatic and also more memorable. Generally it’s a well-made game but I’m not going to elaborate the good aspects of it too much in this review, instead, I would like to point out something that really bothered me during the experience.

At best, it’s a funny hair game about a middle-eastern man trying to avoid being security checked at the airport. At worst, it’s a game with little-to-no depth that constantly ends with you failing. I don’t know what I expected from this, but it definitely did not match what I wished.

Super Bernie World

Super Bernie World

I flippin' love this game. It’s adorably simple, but it’s convinced me to try my hand at speedrunning, and I’m having an absolute blast. I’ve now spent fourteen hours playing a game I can beat in under eight minutes, and I expect I’ll be playing even more. Oh, and it’s free!

Stop reading my review and download it already.

I’m definitely Feeling the Bern!

Update: I’m up to 49 hours played now, and my speedrun time is 7 minutes and 12 seconds. I still love it, and hope you try it. :)

Super Bernie World is a modern masterpiece. This game is perfect in every way. The story compels you from the start, Bernie must become president for the sake of the American people and defeat the evil republicans! The gameplay is simply exquisite, a delightful balance of difficulty and fun. Every time you drop one of the many corrupt politicians such as Ted Cruz or Donald Trump into the fittingly vile cage, a sense of accomplishment and pride washes over you knowing you’re saving all of America.

Talk to Strangers

Talk to Strangers

Where can I start with this Quirky little game. Talk To Strangers aka(Door To Door Salesman Sim) is one heck of a charming game with quirky characters hiding behind each door each with their own little challenges when you face them, The soundtrack is eerily catchy especially the main menu music and I cant seem to get enough of it, The game play is super challenging but fun and the game is super replayable especially as there seems to be no end of achievements to grab and endings to find! all whilst making sure you dont get either killed,too depressed or angry and rage quit oh and dont annoy your boss!

Real player with 13.5 hrs in game

Surprisingly entertaining and even challenging casual game, if you are eager to make a sale at every house, learn about the different stories and endings, and maybe get all achievements.

I would describe it as choice-driven rouge-like drummer (*door-to-door salesman) simulation. I was quite flummoxed when I tried this for the first time and fell for some cookies from a nice old lady. Instead of quitting, I learnt the ropes, became an artful barterer, and can even count the Death to my customers.

Universe 25

I don’t usually write reviews, but I feel like this game is getting no attention. Its been okay to play so far. I have only had to two glitches where I had to click multiple times on an object for it to work. Other than that I would give the game a try. The price isn’t bad either.

This is simply a nice and cheap game. It’s quite enjoyable and it has some kinda difficult puzzles that don’t always make sense. The game is small, but with a decent story. It has a few bugs here and there, but nothing too important. It doesn’t get much attention, so buy it and see for yourself how much fun it is. Till next time, don’t forget to point & click!

Treachery in Beatdown City

Treachery in Beatdown City

Beatdown City’s gonna whoop yo ass. If there’s a downside, it’s that I played through the game in a day, but I really do like the combat system. It makes button mashing useless, turning what could have been a twitchy mess into a beautiful strategic masterpiece. Okay, not really a strategic masterpiece, but it’s pretty sweet.

I do kind of wish that the advantages/disadvantages were slightly more influential. I love the way weapons are handled. Costing more FP to use them and limiting defensive actions focuses the combat towards disarm. And it feels really awesome to throw a Mexican Suplex on some dumbass fool stupid enough to get in your way.

Twenty-second read. Combines the forces of the masked Ryu (Ninja Gaiden (NES)) and Final Fantasy VII with a side-scroller brawler (Streets of Rage, Double Dragon) in an 80s setting similar to Final Fight (Arcade). The world map borrowed from Super Mario 3 (SNES) and the political themes alas Orama etc. stretch the games' twenty-dollar price tag over a twenty year conversion period; does anybody really think noone had thought of making a turn-based, side-scrolling beat-em up game 🎮? Is just a game that has been politicized openly yet in enigmatic ways with a cast of characters that appear to be part of a Blackmirror (Netflix) sequel. Just my two cents.

Paper Shakespeare: To Date or Not To Date? 2

Paper Shakespeare: To Date or Not To Date? 2

King Alexander XI is dead, and without heir.

Your parents want you to be that heir. Luckily for you, there’s totally an ancient tradition for electing a new ruler in times like these: simply lock eight children of royal blood (or the closest thing) in Castle Elsinore, complete with the ghosts of past rulers, and let them manipulate the living heck out of each other and the local population! Two shall rise above the rest: King and Queen (or Queen/Queen, King/King, King/Nobody, Queen/Nobody)! Everyone else that is still alive gets to go home! It’s a win-win for everyone (except those that died)!

Features

  • Interact with eight different potential royal candidates! Sabotage or help them!

  • Decide what skills you want to learn as a potential ruler!

  • Part strategy, part dating sim, all royal bloodbath! This is more a dating sim than an election sim, though.

  • A variety of paths to go down, depending on what you do in the game! Who do you romance? Who do you backstab? Who do you romance and then backstab?

  • Invading armies? Political debates? It’s all in here!

  • Direct continuation of the story started in Paper Shakespeare: To Date Or Not To Date?, but completely separate from Furry Shakespeare and Dinosaur Shakespeare! Telling you why would be spoilers. Also, just a perfectly good stand-alone story!

Greetings, comrades, today I am here to talk to you about “Codex of Victory.” If you enjoy war-games with turn-based combat, you will enjoy “Codex of Victory.” It reminds me of playing the old Avalon Hill 20th century boardgames such as Panzer Leader and Panzer Blitz. The game is fun against the computer and can also be played against a human opponent in a 1-on-1 skirmish. Actually the skirmish mode is more fun as the computer mode involves a very long campaign. In PvP skirmish mode, your turns are timed and you only get a finite bit of time to study the map, plan your move, move your pieces and fire.
