The latest release from Squanch Games, led by Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland, is an absurdist sci-fi adventure.
Justin Roiland’s comedy appears somewhat dividing: many absolutely love its absurdist, drawn-out weirdness, while others find it grating and annoying. It is most prominent in the popularanimated show Roiland created with Dan Harmon. If you are of the irritated camp, then, written by and starring Roiland, should be avoided like an alien plague.
episode. There are even large monitors with adverts for bizarre alien shows where Roiland and the rest of the cast appear to have simply lost their minds. It’s similar to the various interdimensional cable shows inThe worlds are vibrant in tone, palettes, and character. Aliens with different designs and limbs dot every world — globular weirdos on one planet to constantly enslaved and horny cute bears on the next.
Finally, your heat-seeking rocket gun, Creature, is voiced by Tim Robinson. All of Robinson’s weirdness from his showave is on display here, except he conveys a childlike naivety and optimism, which is ironic because he doesn’t shoot rockets but tiny spawn — see, he instantly grows tiny creatures with legs that, when you fire, seek out enemies to gnaw on. He considers them his short-lived children and loves them all. It’s comically tragic.
Each mission is structured pretty much the same, but they manage to hit that Goldilocks sweet spot of not being too short or too long. Each bounty has to be hunted down or brought out of hiding before initiating a boss battle. These were all very enjoyable and varied, so don’t think finding a trick for one will help you down the line.
You are accompanied by your sister and your bounty hunter mentor. However, I found them to be so irrelevant to the main story that I didn’t even bother noting their names. You could have been mentored by the guns, and I feel the game would be no different. These two were definitely the weakest characters. You infrequently have to resolve an argument between them, which was beyond irritating considering how useless and annoying both are.
