Earth Must Die

No, this isn't like playing a saturday morning cartoon, or an old school adult swim series. Maybe that's what it tried to be but it failed. The writing sucks and isn't funny at all and the gameplay is even worse. There's no way I'm going to finish this and I don't know how I even sat through 4 hours of it.

Great Graphics Voice Work is great Some really cool puzzles Your thought on the story will depend on your tolerance for sex and swearing jokes

As someone who's been playing point & click adventures since Monkey Island 1, I feel like I could've skipped this one. Maybe it's okay for 5 bucks or so. Contra: - Far, far too many (bad) penis / sex jokes - Unskippable intro on every game start - Unskippable, extremely slow credits on game completion, nothing after. Horrible "music" during it - Pure gamepad / keyboard movement, no pathfinding through mouseclicks. Luckily movement is mostly unnecessary - Very few hotspots, so extremely streamlined gameplay. - Very short, though it took me 3 days to complete the 5 hours since it just didn't captivate me Pros: - New take to the point & click genre. Not my favorite type, but good to see innovation - I really love the VA of the companion, she's doing a great job of delivering her lines with the intended sarcasm - Somewhat new story ideas, - Runs well and bugfree

Another fantastic game from Size Five. Great writing, fun puzzles and all presented in a wonderful art style with the best voice acting going. Does contain lots of swearing and adult humour, in case the cartoon graphics made you think this might be child-friendly.

Deeply enjoyable game. First point-and-click adventure I've finished in literal decades. Fun story, great voice acting, interesting puzzles. Entertaining top to bottom!

I very much enjoyed the game. It works great on STEAM DECK.

Very charming game, a classic adventure game in the style of Grim Fandango, and featuring so many of the best of English comedy. Alex Horne plays TWO SEPARATE ROLES! Just be very aware this is not a game for kids, and you may run into problems streaming it as this is a supremely horny game.

Earth Must Die! is pure escapism. Developer Size Five Games - probably best known for the Ben and Dan point ‘n clicks and the Lair of the Clockwork God adventure platformer - makes us forget all the problems of the real world by having some silly, foul-mouthed fun with gratuitous deaths and sexual references. And even saying that, I’m sure it’s still too vanilla for some. This point ‘n click adventure has a very stylistic graphical design, which personally made me think of a combination of Disney’s The Emperor’s New Groove and Dreamworks’s Megamind, except wrapped up in the absurd British humor of Douglas Adams. Not my own particular taste in games, but I’m sure it speaks to many people. And I must admit, this acquired taste did start to grow on me during its second half, even though I still felt uncomfortable with all the flying body parts and countless mentions of reproductive organs. I finished the game in eight hours, never once having had the feeling that I was stuck or that the story slowed down. There’s always something interesting to see or do. The Tyrythian world is very detailed in a typical combination of science-fiction and fantasy. It will keep you laughing in one moment yet possibly cringing in the next. If you prefer not to be exposed to blood and guts, and don’t much care for a lavish use of the word “penis”, Earth Must Die! will probably not be for you. But if you enjoy absurd science-fiction humor, this is a title you don’t want to miss! https://www.nicegamehints.com/a/earth-must-die-review

It was a pleasant surprise for me to discover this game right when it launched, even though I only managed to finish it recently because of real-life responsibilities. I fully recommend it—it’s fun, genuinely makes you laugh, and it’s exactly what you need at the end of a long day, no matter how busy you’ve been. Overall, it was a really enjoyable experience and a lovely surprise as a game. Highly recommended!

I usually don't bother writting reviews, but this game is an exception. The humor was crude, the 'puzzles' overly simple and might as well not have been there. The story was so/so, but the ending just destroyed it for me. Complete waste of time. The VO was good and it looks fine if you like the cartoon aesthetic. The music is also fine, but also nothing really noteworthy.
