Distorted Travesty is a "Fast Paced Satirical Action Platformer" made in Game Maker by Dark Yoshi. It follows the story of two gamers with no clear goals in life. These two are Jerry, the most hardcore of hardcore gamers, and Jeremy, who partakes in some light hacking and playing jokes. You control Jerry, while Jeremy sits on the fourth wall and gives you aid throughout the game. One day, when they break into the Integrated Electronics Factory to teach its CEO about the greatness of Jerry's favorite game, a mysterious entity known as The Darkness comes and steals him away to another world, one which is composed of all the games the two have played since their youth. Their only hope of returning home is to collect the Seven Magical Flavored Muffins throughout the world and use them to defeat The Darkness once and for all, lest they miss a new episode of the best series ever.
This game is extremely difficult even on the lowest setting has characters from various games and familiar sprites and sound effects.
Things I liked
1: Jerry's Claw is a unique yet slightly familiar way of melee combat slightly reminiscent of Megaman Zero's Z Saber.
2: Jerry's Spirit Magic yet another spin on an old classic which oddly enough is very hard to find in this day and age of Rpgs.
3: Jerry's Acrobatic abilities who doesn't love dashing onto broken step stones and watching them fall ever so slowly.
4: Ah yes the worlds need saving and yet the heroes are never around where did they go were they transported into other worlds as well?
Things I disliked
1: Trying to jump from small spaces and always ending up in the bottomless pits Classic Annoyance.
2: The Dialogue is boring Jerry doesn't say anything without two or three profanities in his sentence and Jeremy sits on the fourth wall and says things like "Are you going to grab [insert item here] or his random ping test which spams the screen with dialogue windows making it hard as heck to see.
In conclusion Distorted Travesty is a good game and is worth the download.

Quote Well i would say this is a fair review for Distorted Travesty and would find it a decent summary for people who haven't played it to go over to see if it's for them.
ReplyDeleteI myself have not completed the game myself but agree that it is a bit difficult but only to those unfamiliar with games of this genre and style.
Some people may find the dialog a bit boring or distasteful but this is a platformer/action game not an RPG with an epic deep storyline so they should take this into consideration.
I also find that this game is a good recommendation for any fan of games such as super mario brother s or mega man x considering it has various themes players would be accustomed to.
Congratulations on your review, i find it a decent one at that considering i don't care for others reviews more so my own experience with the game itself.
*Puck has actually enjoyed some horribly rated games in his time*
Carry on and keep up the good work.
