If you’ve played any of the Deathspank series, this edition to the series is no amazing surprise on control. Hothead kept their basic control scheme so if you got through the first two you’ll pick this one right up. The humor value is still there and as off kilter as usual. The weapons are just as insane such as the “Plasma Sword” you know the blood kind. The series in itself is off kilter humor with a superhero whom most reminds me of “The Tick”. Brave, Strong and not all that smart.
Downsides: Well if you expect a completely different game (and I don’t just mean different story) this will disappoint you. As well a lot of the Vendors tend to want to sell you something you got rid of be it no further use or leveled past it’s needs.
Upsides: I’ll list them off it’s easier
- The same humor as the first games and the story still remains fresh
- Weapons of most bizarre attributes
- Villains that have kept up with the game
- Returning jokes especially the ethnicity of being an orphan
- That sure I’ll fight a giant 3 headed gnome with a box of twinkies just so I can say I can attitude of the Hero
I personally had some fear since EA did not publish this chapter that the game would be extremely different but the folks at Hothead really stayed true to our hero of the downtrodden. At time of post I’ve only played so far in so I can’t say it’s stayed 100% true to the storyline thus far, but it’s Deathspank so you really can’t question things like that. Overall the Baconing thus far has not failed this player will my opinion change upon the ending we’ll see.
