And I have proof! This time you can spread affront to everyone in the world that has Internet access or - if you’re not the most sociable - you can sit alone and play with yourself.
The developers have promised a more plentiful experience with the next game, as well as it being much more open to modding like Civilization 5 perhaps, but the first game is definitely a standout starting point worthy of more attention than it has received so far.The parrot is back from the dead bringing countless new insults for your disposal, Sir! Remember that silly game that parted lovers, destroyed families and turned friends into enemies? Here’s its successor that does even more, certainly with more style and more variety. It thrills me to see independent developers trying out new ideas never seen in gaming before, and making them work extremely well, like what has been accomplished with this title. In terms of uniqueness, it stands out from any other fighting game ever made. It’s a simple point-and-click game typical of a vast majority of PC games and suffers from no problems in this respect. Issues with the controls are non-existent unless gamers have a problem with their mouse. Stringing elaborate insults together feels satisfying, and it’s also rewarding to be able to identify an individual character’s weaknesses to deal extra damage. It’s not the most plentiful experience available, but well worth the price posted on Steam of £1.59. For a fighting game, it doesn’t have a great deal of content, and I’m hoping that’s where the game’s upcoming sequel will come in Oh… Sir! The Hollywood Roast. There are additional characters to unlock, as well as an additional stage, and then there’s also a multiplayer mode whereby people can compete online. The object of the game is to string together the longest insults possible by picking from a selection of phrases and conjunctions in the best order to deal as much damage as possible to the enemy and deplete their health bar before they can deplete the player’s health bar. There are also references to other aspects of modern and classic thrown in for good measure, which enhance the game’s level of visual variety in terms of conceptual design. Shufflebottom being an obvious caricature of John Cleese’s character from the world-famous dead parrot sketch, or obscure ones like the trumpets being blown by their rear end in the background of the afterlife stage, reminiscent of a scene from Monty Python’s The Holy Grail. As a fan of Monty Python myself, it was fun identifying where the references were placed be that either the obvious ones, like the character of John P. Rendered using 8-bit graphics, the developers took influence most notably by the Monty Python troupe in both its character and stage designs.
Whilst not having a great amount of replayability for a fighting game, it can make for hours of entertainment, and for the relatively short time it took me to unlock everything, I enjoyed this title.
