Greg's Deadly Draft is an okay mascot horror, cartoony platformer and a mascot horror game that actually uses a legitimate mascot, now the story. You wake up in a closet, you have no idea how you got here but a voice on a loud speaker says you've been chosen to try out to be quarterback for the famous Silver City sharks. But something's wrong what is this weird serum your finding and the notes telling you to stop the mascot Greg the shark, you must figure it out or else your shark food.
Alright the likes, the story is okay, nice, simple and does not take itself seriously which is good, you just have to stop Greg the shark and escape, there are little notes that tell you a bit more about what is going on, although it's not really needed as you can get the general idea.
The gameplay was okay, it has some light platforming segments and you also have to collect items in order to complete little quests to progress further, but what helps this game stand out from other mascot horror themed games is the fact that you actually get to fight back and not just run and hide like again other mascot horror themed games, it really helped make the gameplay stand out.
The graphics are good has a nice cell shaded cartoony look that can be kind of cute. The levels are good a little diverse with some interesting locations, it does repeat some scenery in the final levels of the game but I didn't really mind it.
The enemies and bosses are good, I like the whole football theme/aesthetic to them, I also appreciate that the mascot/monster is legitimately a mascot. The characters were okay, nothing really to write home about they were serviceable. The voice acting was surprisingly good Cone King and Greg the shark were the best, the music was okay, it fit the game quite well.
Alright the dislikes, this game is pretty short you can probably beat it in 42 minutes or less, I also feel like the price for the game is a bit high do to the fact it’s so short, I don't know for such a short game $4 is a bit much, feels like it should be free.
The platforming segments isn't the best, it's not the worst but I don't know I played better games with this mechanical. There's also this weird bug, you see during the platforming segment I got to a moving platform and the enemies were under it, I was able to jump over to the next platform but for some reason I was grabbed by an enemy even though I clearly was able to get past them/jump over them. Finally the game could use some achievements.
So with that said Greg's Deadly Draft is an okay mascot horror, cartoony platformer and a mascot horror game that actually uses a legitimate mascot, it has an okay story, okay gameplay, and good enemies and bosses. So do I recommend this game, yeah I do recommend it, but I also recommend getting it when it's on sale to save a few bucks like I did.
