Written Gamerology: Deathspank


Whose Deathspank? Hes an adventurer, a champion, and a hero without equal. Deathspank searches for The Artifact. This artifact is a magical device of untold power held in mystery. This is his lifes work. Only Deathspank, the vanquisher of evil and consumer of tacos can use its power for justice. Justice is his only concern.

Deathspank is an action rpg full of justice. This means slaying monsters for experience and loot. Deathspank also travels the map killing monsters. The player should have a simple experience though. Every face button has a purpose chosen by the player. These buttons can be healing items or powerful weapons. Deathspank only grows in power as the game progresses. That last fact is half the fun.



This game has a fun unique aesthetic. The voice acting is hilarious throughout the game. Visually, the game has a storybook style. Its a pop-up with cardboard cut outs for houses and trees. Nevertheless, Deathspank has an evil demon we must mention. Musically this game is lacking with one long song. Its not terrible but not memorable either.



Downloadable games aren't new. We expect a significant value out of downloads. 15 dollars is a pittance for this excellent game. The voice acting is hilarious, the aesthetic feels fresh, and the constant action is fun. Deathspank does lack when it comes to music. But, this is a heroic title that deserves your attention.

We'd love to hear from you. Comment and send us feedback.
