For me I would say if you enjoy hunting games it can be a bit of casual fun… but certainly not at full price… a deep discount is require or perhaps give it a…. miss (puts on sunglasses, adopts a smug look and walks off).
If Iron Chef and Russ Meyer collaborated... this may well be the result (but with a bit more humour).
Good for an adventure gaming fix… and if you like a touch of horror thrown in… well you’d be hard pressed to find a better blending of the two.
Harking back to the days of Sierra with a more indie darker bent.
If Tower Defense isn't your style though, then give this a miss… the different genre elements do make it more interesting and entertaining, but there isn't really enough there to make it a lasting experience… play through is extended a little by having the four different characters but the experience is not sufficiently different with each one to really make it much of a draw to play again just to see a few different weapons or short cut scenes.
So after all that… is it worth it? Well it is a decent price and no doubt will go on special from time to time. If you were hoping for more of the first games dynamics and fun… you may well be disappointed here, but if you simply want to know a bit more about some of the characters from before the events in Road 96… then it could be worth grabbing a copy. At the very least I'd suggest waiting for a sale because even at the low price… there are just too many elements of the game that are disappointing. A halfhearted recommendation at best I'm afraid.
Swap your drafting table for an office and bureaucracy in what is more a city planner than architect sandbox game.
It’s not super expensive so if you just want to add more spell casting to your VR library, it is an option. I’d recommend waiting for a sale or until patches tweak the gameplay a bit. Otherwise, regrettably, I’d say perhaps give this one a miss.
If Benny Hill was adapted to a computer game... this would pretty much be it.
As a fan of the 40K universe there is quite a lot to like here… it does look authentic and you can see what the intention is… but as many have said, this is under-cooked. The desire is there but it could be a few patches before it really presents something worthy of donning the oversized armour and declaring your efforts for the Emperor.
In a field that is already packed with options, the Cold War take seems like a nice attempt to carve out a lesser explored theatre, only to result in a nearly empty audience.
Choose your own adventure meets D & D without the ability to keep your finger in the choice page to find out if you want to take back your move.
A discount alternative to more polished options.
Take on the role of an A.I. tasked with helping save the last humans as they search for a new home.
I suspect that fans of the original will find a good dose of nostalgia here that may well make it worth the price of admission. For everyone else… well, if you grew up in the 80’s and 90’s you might get a touch of nostalgia as well, unless you were more a Turtles fan like me, in which case this will simply continue making the Battletoads look like also-rans.
There is a lot of fun to be had here
Unmistakable influences lead to a game with a lot of heart but lacking polish.
Looking and feeling like a game from a number of years ago, the Youkols may not be the only thing best left to history here.
An ambitious train management sim that looses steam in some areas.
I don’t mind the game. I’m a big fan of the more traditional D&D games, but I also don’t mind a more brainless “mash keys and progress” type game and this arguably falls far more in that latter category. If you like a bit of Dungeon delving and aren’t too fussed about character details then this could be a good choice. If you really want page after page of stats and character story then this will probably leave you wanting.
