Quests are equally dull, with few of your outings ever veering away from glorified item fetching for a grand menagerie of in-game characters. Funnily enough, the designers seem to be aware of this - some of the non-player characters you come across even joke about the repetitiveness of combat. A new charge attack has also been implemented for all ranged weapons.Īnd while these new abilities help alleviate some of the monotony that was seen in the previous titles (where the strategies boiled down to hacking away at an enemy while chugging down health potions), it never feels like enough to truly deviate from that creeping feeling of tedium. There have been a few small additions to the core combat, such as the ability to reflect long-range attacks and push enemies away with your shield. The inventiveness of the humor doesn't extend into the gameplay half as well, with The Baconing never expanding beyond the confines of the first two entries. Unfortunately, the laughs can only keep the game afloat for so long, and oftentimes they don't feel like enough. Regardless, it very much works in the game's favor and makes for what is likely the funniest DeathSpank game yet. Maybe it's because sci-fi is such a rich genre, one that many of us are already intimately familiar with. More than any of the others games in the series, the jokes are fast and relentless throughout the whole experience, and they rarely miss their mark. This is probably The Baconing's greatest strength. With an even bigger wealth of content to derive jokes from, the game hits you thick and fast, rarely letting up from its barrage of DeathSpank-iness. The game kicks off in a way that will be instantly familiar to fans-well-paced quests that sweep you from one location to another at a steady pace, a plentiful supply of enemies to hack and shoot your way through, and imitigable plethora of looted goods. If you can name it within the sci-fi genre, there is probably a solid nod somewhere in The Baconing. Everything is in here, from Robocop to Tron to even Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and a ton more. Fantasy and modern war parodies make way for yet another easily pastiched genre-science fiction-and this game nails it perfectly. in the U.S., Canada and other countries.With a new DeathSpank comes a new setting.
