This made the claustrophobic camera angle that focuses too much on the character, and not enough of the level hard to navigate if you don’t have said map. On top of this, the only way of discovering maps to show your location and the surroundings can only be found through exploration or buying them from shops. The early game is rough when all you have is attack and jump. Some of these are new methods of offensive abilities such as a ground pound, ranged attacks whilst the others are new traversal mechanics like a double jump, wall cling or dash. Progressing through the game and completing quests from NPCs will garner you new abilities. Going on an AdventureĪs I previously mentioned, Clunky Hero is a 2D Metroidvania. Which is a shame as the gameplay has some qualities that made my time with Clunky Hero not completely unenjoyable. The game ends exactly how you expect it to making it an overall grating, predictable story that I couldn’t find any redeeming qualities about. I’d give it a pass if maybe Rufus wasn’t posed as this hero that we’re playing as – but he is – we’re supposed to be rooting for him. The comedy lands perfectly to pre-teens who think that punching each other in the nards and telling women to “get back in the kitchen” are the peaks of hilarity. Fourth wall breaking that I wish I could plaster over. Out of place commentary of a Priest character being an unflattering stereotype with no basis. Rufus is an unlikable, obnoxious, arrogant, dim-witted protagonist and I loathed to see what his dialogue was next. At this point, I was already thinking to myself that these are pretty out of touch 2010s-era of online misogyny, but whatever – comedy right? However, it doesn’t get much better or funnier in any regards. Then grabs Brunhilde’s broom and sets out on a quest to save her. Rufus reaches for a bucket, placing it on his head. However, this isn’t the happy ever after they were hoping as The Evil One Who Should Not Be Named – I guess Voldemort didn’t trademark that – grabs Brunhilde from their home and turns her into… “some sort of hideous duck face girl”. Rufus, the peasant protagonist lives his pleasant life with his wife Brunhilde (who’s described as someone who’s not exactly “pretty” and “the boss of the house” on the Steam page). The game opens to a medieval/fantasy setting that breaks down the start to the game through an orotund old-English voice-over as most epic tales do.
