Recordkeeping: Dungeon Punks INCOMPLETE
Jan. 2nd, 2018 11:20 amI'm pretty sure this was one of those "Free on PS+" games that have built up over time, and I'm really glad I didn't pay for this because it was -kind of trash-.
You're a mercenary company. Your ranks can potentially include a hulking werewolf, a knife-wielding lizardman, a Darth Maul-esqe djinn and a slender staff-waving anubis-jackal, so I mean ... we're off to a fantastic START. You're hired by the royal family of someplace to fight for whatever and then the game starts and aw god that is not well animated.
With no jump button and your animations mostly consisting of jerkily waving a weapon at monsters, you bash through a bunch of stuff and get some allegedly-hilarious story scenes about accidentally breaking a pot in the royal chambers which cost a fortune, putting you in debt and letting the royal family send you all over the country.
Meanwhile a doomsday cult of accountants run the numbers on the apocalypse.
After about four stages of whacking "attack" and occasionally "magic", I pulled up the world map, saw I'd barely started, and just went "ughhhhhh" and deleted it off my system. This is an okay Flash game, like from Newgrounds or Kongregate. I don't know why it's on my PS4.
Look, the simple fact is: I could be playing Guardian Heroes, Shadows over Mystara, Castle Crashers, Streets of Rage Remake, Dragon's Crown, River City Ransom Underground, or any of a DOZEN other brawlers instead of this. When the game isn't good enough to hold up against ITSELF let alone all those other titles it's time to call it quits.
"The team at Hyper Awesome Entertainment set out with a simple but lofty goal: to make the best damn brawler RPG of all time!" -- Guys, I'm sorry, Capcom EXISTS. Keep trying. Keep the furries. Don't give up, nobody nails this on their first try. But ... try again, this is a C- in a sea of B+ and A.
