Alcohol has plenty to answer for! It is the root of many bad choices, awful dancing, and numerous fights. However, we all love it nonetheless. By consuming copious amounts, we think we are beautiful, strong, and indestructible. But, in reality, that couldnt be further from the truth.Drunken Fist2: Zombie Hangover represents this idea in an amusing and simple way.
Developed byDeklazonandEastasiasoftLimited, and published by the latter, this is a low-poly physics-based fighting title. Whats more, it is gory, ridiculous, and has a linear plot. Its straightforward approach keeps things pretty low-key, but this wasnt a problem. The basic ideas allow you to focus on kicking ass and killing enemies.
If you like to be challenged and pushed to your limits, this game isnt for you. Now, that isnt to say that it is a walk in the park. Because it isnt. No, instead, you wont be challenged logically, and there are no puzzles to overcome. Alternatively, you must string together basic combos, dodge massive blows, and hunt for bottles of alcohol. This is the crux ofDrunken Fist2: Zombie Hangover, but I loved it, regardless.
This whimsical take on the survival genre has a familiar tongue-in-cheek plot. You control a hero who looks similar to Chuck Norris. This ass-kicking man awakens from an evening of drinking to besurrounded by dead bodies. Now, most people would be alarmed. However, this wannabe hero doesnt care. Instead, he grabs some alcohol, beats to death any zombie he sees, and continues his day.
As I said, its bloody stupid and lacks depth. Yet, you wont want to put it down. Having looked at the original, I hoped for a more polished finish. Fortunately, the developers have delivered a vastly improved game. Therefore, I thoroughly enjoyed every ridiculous and over-the-top moment.
A fighting game would be nothing without weapons and monstrous foes. Luckily,Drunken Fist2: Zombie Hangover has both. Sadly, though, the weapons are basic and hard to come by. This was disappointing, as each club and hammer enhanced the fighting experience. However, I soldiered on, nevertheless.
Talking of fighting, there are several tactical approaches you can try. Chuck Norris can roundhouse kick, throw punches, sweep his opponents, or jump to dodge blows,buthe also has a special trick in his trousers. Like every human, the more alcohol he consumes, the more he must pee. By urinating on the floor, you create a slip hazard that amusingly wipes out your foes in an instant. Word of warning though, dont walk through it, otherwise, youll be drenched in pee, as well.
The peeing element never got old. I chuckled repeatedly as hotdog zombies hit the deck, or an undead police officer fell to the ground. Yet, some zombies are more agile than others. These leaping pests dodge your traps and cause mayhem. Then there are the weapon-wielding hulks who smash you to pieces. Whichever one you face, you must kill them. Do you charge at them, or do you try to dodge their advances?
Low-poly gaming reminds me of the 80s and early 90s. Its bright colours, simple level design, and ugly sprites were game-changing. However, now, they simply look ugly while creating a dated retro aesthetic. Consequently,Drunken Fist2: Zombie Hangover has old-school vibes and is tough to look at. But, I still loved it! Its gory nature and in-your-face ways were charming. I appreciate it wont appeal to all, but it works perfectly with this genre.
With violence and gore at every corner, the audio has to be dramatic. Luckily, it was! Thanks to its electronic style and loud and obnoxious voice clips, it was brilliantly OTT. Every death is accompanied by a booming voice. Accordingly, the juicier the kill, the louder the commentator becomes. This Americanised approach worked wonders with the brutality of the gameplay.
Because of the great tutorial, youll master the controls instantly. Yet, the game is messy to play. Now, this isnt anything to do with thecontrollerlayout or how responsive it is. No, instead, the camera angle and enemy targeting are to blame. The game doesnt react well to hectic situations, and the camera goes crazy. This makes it extremely nauseating to play and frustrating as well. Disappointingly, matters are made worse as the targeting system is broken. Consequently, you struggle to focus on a specific enemy and that is just annoying.
Another shortcoming is the lack of replay value or longevity. Once youve completed this, you are unlikely to return. Furthermore, the action is repetitive. Except for new zombies, the gameplay rarely changes. Subsequently, there is a distinct element of dj vu.
With plenty of potential,Drunken Fist2: Zombie Hangover could have been amazing. I adored the stupidity of it, the mindless violence, and the roster of zombies. However, it lacks depth, is repetitive, and doesnt evolve. Yes, it is an improvement on its predecessor, but Im not sure thats enough. Im on the fence, but it amused me, so, I recommend you to buy it here! Waking up surrounded by the dead is not a great end to a heavy session. But, for this hero, it is just another day.
