Game good, progression jank, perfect for edgy teens

Cbp846
Verified purchase
Overall some decent fun for low-end PC's and edgy teenagers taking German classes for no reason at all and definitely not because some silly politicians did silly things in Germany. Yep, no reason behind that. Jokes aside, good fun, nice theme, the NG+ mode is absurdly hard, and the progression is slightly jank. In a nutshell, you complete challenges to earn skulls. When you earn 5 skulls in a slot, you get a new item for that slot. However, eventually the challenges become "Encounter a Blimp to unlock" and you have to pretty much "beat" the game to spawn a blimp. Other than slightly off progression, it's really fun. Worth a try, especially on a cheap sale.

Still a really fun game!
Verified purchase
Played this originally on PS3 and decided to give it another go on PC. Its still a lot of fun! Its even better that you can play in small chunks so you dont have to have long sessions if you dont want to.
