Die With Glory — Point and Click Adventure Game

Mobile port with a 5 second music loop, pure "touch" controls where a level is finished with a bare handful of clicks, and it even goes so far as to ask me to rate it 5 stars on some nondescript app marketplace after the first real level. Despite the decent art and okay concept, this isn't a game worth money. Also I know humor is subjective, and maybe if the devs are primarily Russian there are things lost in translation, but this isn't funny. The attempts at jokes don't even make sense.

TLDR; It's just OK... buy this if you want to support a small developer, not because you expect to be entertained. The BAD: Half a game. I have 2.3 hours on record because an hour of it was spent running out to get lunch. Don't expect to be satisfied. The game ends abruptly. It looks like you're reaching a crescendo in the story when instead it's just, "thanks for playing!". I suppose in $/h this is cheaper than a movie ticket (just barely), but at least movies have a beginning, middle, and end. The GOOD: Those are my frustrations with the game, but also, it does contain some dry humor. Nothing that will make you actually laugh, but it tries to be funny, which is nice. I liked the plot and the story. The MEH: I would say that the controls are good, since it is just a point-and-click game (I guess tap since it's a mobile port). However, in some areas, it can get pretty annoying when it shifts from click near the area you want to go to click exactly on the specific thing you w...

This is not a point and click adventure game. This is a touchscreen mobile game port, which has pretty decent artwork, even if it's totally inconsistent between the two styles (game vs, cutscenes). At first it is both charming and simple enough, that the frustrating gameplay tricks you into getting into it. However, by the time the jungle temple level shows up, its flaws and dullness are evident. Especially when you have to get to said temple, where you must navigate an infuriating platform section where the character doesn't respond correcly to the input and you're forced do do it over and over again - oh, and better, if you have forgotten something back in the starting area or must return to the temple, you must repeat the platform section again, every time in either direction - this broke me, I've uninstalled this game and I'm never touching this nonsense again.

One shouldn't complain much about a game with such a low price but regardless I was left feeling disappointed after finishing the game. The concept starts of with a nice idea but never evolves further from clicking stuff. Click to move. Click to pick up object. Click to interact with object. Click the thing in the correct time and you won't fail and reset in a spot 5 seconds earlier. Sounds like a pretty ordinary point&click adventure, right? Well, as similar in the core as Die With Glory is to other point&click games, it fails to capture the most important thing of the simplistic gameplay genre: charm. There are no characters whose personality drives the player to continue onwards just to see how they unscrew themself from whatever pickle they've screwed themselves into. The attempts at humor grow weary very fast as a refence to a different more popular franchise is blurted after another. The only reason I played through the whole thing because I kept thinking to myself "well I paid...

Quite dumb game, last level looks unfinished. Was anticipating that opening new level endings could change the whole story, but it stays linear. Also software is full of bugs and abandoned by developers.

Sound: 6 Graphics: 6 Story: 5 Gameplay: 5 Commands: 3 Fun: 5 Time to load / lag: 8 Bugs / Problems: 6 Final (my score, my rules - these is not math, punk) - 5

Apparently focused on a very young user group. Didnt like it ATAL

Fun and full of silly references to other games, series and movies. Monkey Island references are in there, so are Dr. Who, Bioshock, etc. etc. It is more fun if you actually know the references. That said, the controls are a little gimmicky, but you are not punished too much for failing. The idea of replaying stories with different outcomes is also quite interesting. It is rather short though and at the time of writing a teaser for 'chapter 2' plays at the end. This will take you a few hours at most.

I wanted to give this game a go but all I get is a black screen so I can't say whether I actually enjoy this game. But since it is currently unplayable I'd have to say I don't recommend it.

nice little sweet game :)
