Vlad Circus: Curse of Asmodeus
Critic Reviews for Vlad Circus: Curse of Asmodeus
Vlad Circus: Curse of Asmodeus blends expert storytelling, interesting puzzles and finely crafted spooky pixel art to create a fantastic prequel game that leaves you wanting more of this insidious, addictive world.
Vlad Circus: Curse of Asmodeus is a pretty good game. The graphics work nicely, the story is compelling and Josef, while a bit of a scumbag, is a likable enough protagonist. Unravelling his story is a worthwhile pursuit, and if you like a disturbing game, this might well be up your alley.
Vlad Circus: Curse of Asmodeus is a pointless sequel that offers an explanation to a character that we didn't care about in the first game, and rather than improving on its predecessor's mechanics, it completely strips them back - offering an unneeded, lesser experience.
Vlad Circus: The Curse of Asmodeus is the follow-up I wasn't expecting, and one I wish could have been better. The gameplay is lighter, the story less rich and the tone even more bleak than Descend Into Madness. If this wasn't attached to a good prequel, this would be overlooked.
