About Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures

About this game

Influenced by retro classics Mega Man and Castlevania, Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures features the AVGN and friends as they blast their way through 10 levels of fun, fast paced 2D action based on the AVGN's adventures in his online series. With multiple playable characters, power ups, cameos galore, tons of secrets and more we're making a game that all fans of video games will enjoy. If you're a fan of old school difficulty, fart jokes, The Nerd and/or old school platformers chances are you'll enjoy AVGN Adventures.

Some say "hard" we're saying "rewarding!" Why? Because every check point you get, every boss you beat, every accomplishment is earned. You feel like like a stud. This is a game that allows you to brag to your friends if you beat it.

Yes, this is the official The Angry Video Game Nerd game!

Maybe worth buying if you're an AVGN fan, but not much fun for anyone else.

The graphics are really heavy on the eyes at some point, the game is really hard, frustrating and just makes you angry. Even the humor cannot salve it. If you are into games that make you anry, go for it but it was not for me.

Frustrating as the old nes games

Fanatical User

It is like a classic nes game with better graphics. There are the irritating enemies, the stupid deaths, etc. The game plays good on Linux. I like that you can select what stage to play, and it has even easy mode with infinite lives. But it is a frustrating game. I gave up half way.

He is gonna take you back to the past ♪♫

A game reminiscent of classic platformer games where you easily die, platforming gets harder and harder, but the nerd controls very well. Requires a good amount of skill to beat, expect to die a lot. 9/10 A must play if you like platformers
