Medieval Pikmin
You play as the overlord of evil who controls little devils or known as the minions who help you with combat like killing villagers or any enemies that cross your path and for puzzles like making them move a statue that requires a certain amount of minions. The beginning does a great job in actually explaining how to use them properly which makes the game actually know what your doing making it more fun. The game's setting reminds me of another game Oblivion. The areas are pretty much fantasy as what you would expect in a medieval time. The controlls are perfect with the 360 but sometimes it makes me wondering why the hell all my minions dying. Sometimes there actually the obstacle. Carelessly, a minon will wander gettting killed in a danger zone. Some will run right inot traps. The list goes on and on.
I think the game tries too hard to be funny b/c every once in a while a minion will fart and they'll giggle killing people. Its pretty stupid. The story's layout is more of like choosing a quest to complete similiar to fable leading to another challenge. The achievement list is quick simple. Beat the game get the points.
The game even features multiplayer mode for Xbox Live. The games are survival mode, Slaughter which is to kill your opponent, and Pillage which is gain the most gold. Its gives something to what your paying for.
Overall Its worth a purchase cause killing people may be evil buts its fun when you have minions to back you up.
GOOD
The graphics can get a bit glitchy but there still good in my book. The game is a good length.
Controls are solid
Innovation is key just like Pikmin
Similarity to games like Oblivion, Pikmin, Fable reminds you how the game is fun.
Minions killing people is tight
BAD
AI has a mind of its own
Can get glitchy
Its not really funny and the script can get cheesy
Multiplayer feels tacked on
After you beat. Nothing extra to keep you going back.
