TB is trying really hard not to admit he likes the game.
"Killing him will only piss him off." I've never heard a more badass line in my life.
This game is a that breath of fresh air that you need once in a while. pure self-aware nonsensical fun.
I was expecting a really awful game and found a fun one, so it's nice to be pleasantly surprised.
To give the guys who made this some credit, the names they used for the various attacks and moves are named after Mayan deities or mythical beings, and fairly correctly at that. I'm not sure whether the comedic angle is wholly intended, but given the nature of your character and that talking Mayan mask, I'm willing to believe that this game is VERY self-aware. :-)
Honestly, this is some of the most fair priced games out there. Many times it's on sale, and for what they ask, it's worth it. It's certainly not a great game, but it's fun, and the plot line and the dialogues are probably the best part. Controls are a bit clunky... but that is to be expected. If you'd like a God of War similar game, crossed over with 90's action films, you will like this title.
The trailer may have just sold me on this. Ridiculously epic.
You know I was kind of teetering on the edge of getting this game for laughs and for showing off to my friends, but that trailer has officially convinced me to go for it.
anyone else notice this is a EXACT copy of Splatterhouse? funny mask, bf dies and comes back, girl gets taken, spectacle fighter or am i crazy?
This totally looks like it's worth 79p. I'll bite.
Oh god, even the trailer is like a late 80s/early 90s action movie. I love this game.
I really love how many videos you post recently TB. Please keep up the good work.
Bought this for about .99 cents and found it is the best thing ever. It's a god of war clone and it even has the same combat system that god of war but it's not at the level of it. I wish I had a playstation 3 to play through the god of war games
That trailer is so deliciously 90s. Hmmm cheese.
6:00 that shot would have been awesome in a movie. =)
Gameplay videos are a dime-a-dozen. I appreciate the setting overview.
I am going to buy this game
His hands are massive, lol. Your comparison to old action movies is good. Even the trailer looks like one. I do wonder why they bothered to kill him with that stick rather than any normal weapon.
This game, more than any other game, makes me want an Xbox 360
"Cheap budget, B-movie fun." That sounds delightful. Always pleased to find something I normally would flat out ignore that you review revealing it to be a game right up my alley.
its a dollar on stream right now
god of war/ dantes inferno, without ****ing puzzles and with ragdoll physics .. i'm in
WHEN'S MAHLOW!?
"Killing him... will only piss him off!" pure 90's gold
comments are back when did thay happen?
I laughed so hard at the trailer
Nice, even the trailer is a throwback to old action flicks especially the narrator/announcer/voice over. Just awesome!
Every now and again you review a game where your enthusiasm, however grudging, just shines through. This is one of those games. Gonna have to give it a try.
I found this game way more fun and a lot less repetitive then metalgear r and that was supposed to be a big budget title .
Can this be made into a movie?
nice touch putting the trailer at the end
I have never noticed that on the videos. I will definitely look for it now.
Got it for 99 cents lol on steam summer sale

But shit it was 99 cents!
Lot of people here screaming that TB doesn't do Reviews, he does First Impressions. Sorry but you, and TB, are wrong. A First Impression would be him, making a video about a game, fresh-out-of-the-box!!!! But they ain't! Every video of his that I've seen is him making the video after he's played 3, 4, even 5 levels of it. Hell, even reviewers for IGN and the like only get to play a couple of levels of a game before they submit their piece - the recent shit regarding CoD: Ghosts and Forza 5 is proof enough of THAT! Further, TB goes into waaay more detail than "official" reviewers EVER do, constantly picking apart the front end/user settings/in-game menus etc, yeah? I don't know what the reason is for him constantly stating he's not reviewing these games but I do know that he's lying. ALL the What The Fuck videos are REVIEWS, plain and simple. Oh, and TB? The word is "absurd", ok? Absurd. ABsurd. A as in apple or A as in bAth as you're from 'oop North'. ABsurd. Get it the fuck RIGHT!

It is first impressions a review implies you've played through it. He has also said many times that people like that really are doing firstr impressions.

Yes, well he obviously has a DIFFERENT accent to you.
I really think the cutscenes are really smartly done; imagine how much money they must have saved on animation
"Killing him, will only piss him off!" Yes! This game, yes! I am so getting it, looks fun.
This video is far too long. He just keeps repeating himself over and over.
The menu options can show a lot about the care/thought that has gone into a game.
I like the idea of having the trailer at the end of the video
I love your vids dude keep them up
That trailer.... I need this game now.
That freeze-frame cinematic style works pretty nicely. I kinda like it. It's different.
Hahahahaha! They did the giant boulder chase from Indiana Jones? Awesome! :D This seems like a hilarious cheesefest. Loving it ^^
The talk over voice in the trailer sounds like a movie epidemic :) the subtitles work well alongside
the trailer framed the entire game perfectly and set the exact tone this game deserves.
Holy crap, they even had the proper film trailer voice going there.
One word describes that trailer and that word; is awesome.
They should make a prequel titled 'The Brigginning'.
My favourite part of this game was the voice actor for marlow. you can tell he did lines on his own time at various different times, cause sometimes his voice is normal, than it sounds like he recorded it through a 90's tape recorder, then back to normal again in a single scene.
That may very well be the best videogame trailer I've seen in years..!
Looks funny, will get it on sale. Thanks Total Biscuit.
10:42 Indefenistrable 3 is now my favorite name for any ship ever.
Do not visit a PC gaming channel if you don't want to hear about the settings.
"Okay, I've figured out the problem. See that little bar in the top left corner of the screen?"
After seeing the trailer and everything you've said, I kind of want to play it now XD
Good to see you have your priorities set right.
I care about the game settings, for instance, I have to know if the keys are rebind-able, since I cannot bring myself to use a controller for most games. and for people with low end computers having the options to lower video settings is important.
That trailer... WAS AMAZING
Not at all, it's called basic understanding of nuance and an ability to separate what you like from what is objectively good. I assumed most people understood that as they reached adulthood but apparently not.
haha love the expresionless face of him when hes ziplining 20:00
That looks fantastic
This is pretty much a character action, rail shooting, quick time event mess. So much 90's nostalgia I can barely take it, it's so good
Well, I am totally going to play this. Looks HILARIOUS!
"It's terrible in all the right ways" - TotalBiscuit (boxart quote right here)
the thing i live about spectacle fighting games is that you can kill so much so quickly and look like a FREAKING badass while you're killing anything and everything that moves games like this are the sole reason why i want to play god of war
Trailers like this one reminds of the Descent 3 trailer and how awesome they were.
TotalBiscuit you are just awesome Sir
Trailer of the decade!
I like that he goes through the settings, I don't know anyone else that does that, and it does effect if I purchase the title or not. For example I can't stand "over the shoulder" viewpoint/camera. But if I can change it, then I might buy the game.
2:59 A mask that gives comic relief? Splatterhouse much?
1 and 2 were also on PS1 and gameboy color, though those were later ports, they started out PC exclusive
that trailer makes me want it legitimately
Good Question!!
The name of the ore harvester means "Unable to be thrown from a window." Fucking rad.
"kukakulakulaka.... whatever it's a weapon or something." Well played TotalBiscuit!
It's a brilliant thing. From Sid Meier's Pirates, Civilisation, transport tycoon, master of orion and other amazing titles to the brilliance and absolute glory of Girl Fight. it is the second coming of the benevolence we know and have always known of Microprose!
Hearing about this game's level of absurdity reminds me of my experience playing saints row the third, and that was one of my favorite sandbox games of all time. I might actually give this a look when it dips below the $10 mark.
those cutscenes are pretty damn cool.. its probably the first time ive seen it in a game and from what ive seen it pulled it off pretty damn well.. personally, i think that a game is only as good as it makes me feel.
Damn... that trailer was so convincing! :D Now I have to play this!
This seems like tons of fun, I'll be adding this to 'to-play' list, surely. I'm just a sucker for action games that don't take themselves too seriously.
Feels like watching some old action movie
Oh man that trailer.
I'm sold.
This is the sort of game I always play with the gamepad, it was designed for one.
It looks like it should star van damme and be watched with good friends, a take-away and insane amounts of beer.
And so we add to the pile another person who cannot separate objective complaints from subjective enjoyment. Makes me sad
Consistently entertaining.
Good point.
XD The trailer sounds like an what action movie trailers used to sound like.
Hehe.. I get the feeling that these slowmo, time-freeze cut scenes are done in this particular way because they couldn't be arsed to animate the whole thing xD
Because some people have particular needs in options menus, such as fov, rebinding keys and most of it isn't advertised by devs/publishers. can be quite useful to have this information.
Looking at the trailer this game knew what it wanted to be. And surprisingly pulled it off with out falling flat on it's face.
I am so picking this up during a sale.
"Before leaving make your workplace as unsafe as possible, with any luck the intruder will die." Wonderful, sold me the game.
That was actually a REALLY good trailer!
What would you even call the freeze frame camera panning thing? Cinematic Comic strip?
That was one godly trailer.
I might have to get a look at this one.. mr. MaXlow Prainggs !
God, Jesse needs to do a playthrough of this!
I loved the stop motion cutscenes. I think they were very original.
