Each weapon attacks almost the same as far as melee is concerned. There are no special skills to unlock or special moves to use. On top of this there really is not much variety in the combat. A lot of the combat revolves around attacking then running away to heal and so on. Shallow combat – The combat in The Baconing can be fun but it gets old quickly. Fortunately this one really has a lot of variety and character. Valhalla is portrayed as an old folks home for gods. Rainbow’s End is a hilarious fusion of leprechauns and casinos. The forest of the future is truly disturbing. They are all very different with various enemies and backgrounds. But its true beauty is seen in all of the different areas you get to explore. Most of the game is comic gold but this is one instance where the humor of the game is so pervasive that if you don’t like it the game will be unplayable for you.ĭiverse Locales – The Baconing is a pretty game. The whole tone of the game is lighthearted, but the humor can be rather dark at times. The real joke of the series is that DeathSpank is a hero that often does horrible things without ever really realizing it. ![]() Those not familiar with the series will not get a lot of the running jokes but almost all of it can be appreciated without prior knowledge. Humor – The humor in The Baconing really is its calling card. The humor in the game may not be for everyone, but the voice acting is done perfectly to accentuate it. There really aren’t any read only dialogue tress at all. Even more impressive is the shear volume of spoken dialogue in the game. It’s completely over the top in its delivery and that’s just perfect. Voice acting – All of the voice acting in The Baconing is top notch. But is this installment enough to win over the uninitiated? Those familiar with the series know about the over the top humor of the game and frantic combat of the game. This mission will branch of into countless other directions as the citizens of the world give DeathSpank other quests to do as well. This game has the hero DeathSpank seeking to destroy the Thongs of Virtue by burning them in bacon fire. ![]() Why it isn’t simply called DeathSpank 3 is a mystery but with a game this over the top it only seems appropriate. The Baconing is the third installment in the DeathSpank series. A copy of the game was provided for review purposes. The Baconing was developed by Hothead Games and published by Valcon Games.
