Deathspank the baconing voice actor7/6/2023 ![]() ![]() As in earlier Deathspank games, it's essentially a matter of clicking on enemies until they die, then clicking on something else, ad infinitum. ![]() Meanwhile, the combat system continues to adhere to the same basic action RPG template - it involves lots and lots of clicks, but it eventually gets very samey. In one single, simple fetch quest we ended up throwing away two complete sets of armour, as well as five swords. Weapons are also thrown at you in such quantities that using Deathspank's ability to deconstruct them into cash quickly becomes a requirement for progressing beyond the inventory screen. As you would expect from a Diablo-style game, there are hundreds of slaughter-tools on offer, but all of them turn out to be disappointingly similar - +10 damage and a funny name that becomes unfunny, fast. While all the locations and characters are stylish and unique, however, the same can't be said of the weapons. This might sound rather shoddy, but it gives the game a charming appearance, like a budget film set. Like previous Deathspank titles, The Baconing has an incredible and immediately recognisable art style, with a cartoon aesthetic that combines 3D characters with 2D scenery on a rolling background. Underneath the tone, The Baconing is underneath is merely just a Diablo clone. Like Ron Gilbert's other games, The Baconing sells itself more on its tone, rather than the visionary strength of the underlying design. This might sound like a ludicrous opening based on nonsensical, puerile terms and gross humour - 'Ron Gilbert's Deathspank' being a particularly unsettling image - but that's really the core appeal of the Deathspank universe. Overjoyed at having a new mission in life, Deathspank sets out once more to destroy the thongs and defeat his evil other half. He's so bored, in fact, that one day he puts on all of the Thongs of Virtue at once, accidentally tearing open space and time and summoning forth an evil doppelganger Anti-Spank. ![]() Platform: PC, Mac, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3įollowing close on the heels of Thongs of Virtue, The Baconing begins with Ron Gilbert's Deathspank voicing his boredom at a world where he's managed to destroy all evil and conquer all his foes.
