One major difference presents itself as The Baconing really doesn’t have a robust magic system, opting to utilize some elemental arrows, weapons and grenades instead. It was a bit annoying during heated battle but didn’t happen all that often, luckily.įor those who are new to this series, the gameplay is very reminiscent of what is found in Torchlight. This was one of the game’s mechanics which bothered me as the enemies would get to a point where they’d magically vanish, eventually resetting elsewhere. They confront in packs and only shy away once a coded perimeter is breached, meaning you’ve ran far enough away. As the player ventures out into the wide, strange world, he’s met with all manner of beasts.ĭragons, spiders, robots and deranged mascots are just a brief list of what all is lying in wait. Though, boiling it all down, it’s evident that this title focuses more on combat than anything. There’s a lot of conversation, tons of questing and quite a few different puzzles. Those familiar with Hothead Games‘ previous two outings within this fictional world will know what to expect. The Baconing is a very traditional hack n’ slash role-playing game which allows for two-player cooperative adventuring. Our hero’s voice acting is once again the absurd, gruff stylings of Townsend Coleman, who still sounds a lot like his former character, The Tick. Sit down, pick up the controller and prepare for some laughs, many of which happen to be of the awkward style. In this rotating storybook world, it’s all okay.Ĭonsidering all of the craziness going on within it, I cannot say that is much of a surprise. Perhaps a sentence or two that people would just never say in real-life. Usually, it’s something that you’d never even dream of.
#DEATHSPANK THONGS OF VIRTUE ROBOT SCANS SERIES#
In true series form, every newly introduced or re-introduced character has something interesting to say. The star of the show here is definitely the title’s creative, zany and downright weird writing. These environments are almost characters themselves, providing some unique and fresh air to a game which happens to be quite methodical and relatively basic in its role-playing construct. However, the real star showings come when DeathSpank ventures out into the great beyond, entering unique areas such as a casino world, the Tron-inspired lair of an artificial intelligence creation and a crazy amusement park headed by a scientifically endowed robotic interpretation of the nuclear family. There are your traditional outlands, beast lairs and a secluded small town where the people are friendly but strange.
One which has more than its fair share of creative locations. Those bacon fires we’re speaking of happen to be conveniently placed throughout a large game world. When you make it to a fire, there isn’t much of a joyous celebration or a long time spent on the subject – it just happens after the completion of a major story quest, with a brief and over-used video showing the removal. It just feels tacked on as a main quest, as the side quests are much more interesting. Honestly, I found this to be a bit of an afterthought a reason to enter this world once again. Why? I do not know, but it’s certainly quirky despite being quite nonsensical. No, the only way to get rid of their magic for good is to burn each individual one in a different bacon fire. However, it’s not like DeathSpank can just throw them out or ship them to a different world. For some reason, all of the colourful thongs must be given up. Well, let me clear that up in a way that will sort of make sense. Surely you’re still wondering what is up with that strange title. Well two: you and the uninhibited digital man you’re controlling. They must be stopped and there’s only one man for the job. They’re ravaging the world, trying to bring to an end of days of sorts. It has brought with it an army of powerful metallic creations known as cyborques. The worst of which happens to be Anti-Spank, an evil contraption made in the hero’s image. This has created some sort of time and space continuum where evildoers have been summoned to the storybook world. Remember those colourful pieces of ladies’ underwear players were asked to collect in our hero’s last outing ( DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue)? Well, he’s decided to wear them all at once. It just may take a little while longer than expected, considering there are so many ‘stoopid’ chickens to take care of. Don’t worry though something will be done about it soon, using grand questing fashion.
Unfortunately a lot of your issues may stem from the hero himself, having unknowingly unleashed a villainous version of himself out of pure stupidity and laziness. Beware no more, downtrodden! Your hero is once again on a quest to solve your quirky problems in The Baconing, the third game in the Deathspank series.
