ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN

ROMEO IS A JIT MAN

what

Suda51 making yet another one of a kind game. I enjoyed every second of this game with how stylish and unique it is, and my time playing romeo is a deadman was a very memorable experience.

As a big fan of Suda/Grasshopper, and the overwhelming style of their games, I can't help but absolutely love this. This is exactly what I needed after being let down by NMH 3. The style, the soundtrack, the cinematics... Just incredible. The combat remains pretty basic; light attack, strong attack, and skill powers. It is weird that after all this time the gameplay is still pretty much aligned with games 10 years ago. The story isn't that deep, but I adore the premise. With how much I love the game, there's clearly a lack of content. It feels pretty shallow throughout the whole ordeal. You have to really be sold on the style more than anything else. My main beef with the game; [list] [*] The random dungeon is a cool idea, but it's one level template re-used every time. There's very small differences that can show up in a run, but it's very inconsequential to the reused rooms on every run. [*] There's 4 melee weapons and 4 guns. There's no reason to use anything other than the defaults. Every weapon has the standard tradeoff with no creativity. Big sword does more damage but swing slower. Machine gun shoots faster but does less damage. [*] The story mentions time travel, but none of the environments illustrate the concept well enough. There's even a semi-joke about this the characters mention at one point. [*] The game is pretty short. My playtime to clear was based off of me being bad at this game early, and grinding resources. [*] What's with the space junk mechanic? It's completely useless. You accumulate space junk so slowly, and all it can be traded in for is upgrade material, which you could get WAY faster by running Palace Athene. [*] I get why everyone wants to be on Unreal Engine, but there was no playtesting this. Some effects in the game shatter the game performance. What's the deal? [/list]

First time playing Suda51 game and wanted in on this wild ride. Having only watched videos of his past game I wanted to try this one. I would say the core hack n slash combat is not tight at all and plays more like a PS3 game, but I didnt come here for that. I came here for the aesthetic and the wild things the game throws at me and I wasnt disappointed. The experience I got I would say was similar to MiSide where things come out from the left field. And the soundtrack is very good, I would recommend that more than the game itself. Overall I am satisfied but it did not left me wanting more. I would recommend for those who are interested when its on discount.

Une aventure assez dingue et bourrée de style dans la catégorie des jeux plutôt sérieux de Grasshopper (avec quand même pas mal de moments en plein délire malgré tout). Le gameplay reprend le classique attaques puissantes/attaques faibles avec quatre armes rapprochées et quatre armes de tir pour passer en mode TPS, on retrouve aussi un délire similaire aux puces de Travis Strikes Again avec possibilité de les fusionner pour renforcer la plus puissante. Il y a quelques mini-jeux sympas pour par exemple monter ses niveaux ou cultiver de nouveaux pouvoirs. Je conseille de jouer en normal (difficulté du milieu), le jeu a déjà ses petits moments de difficulté, surtout au départ quand Romeo n'est pas encore au top, je dis ça parce que j'ai aussi vu pas mal de plaintes concernant la difficulté la plus haute pour une première partie. La difficulté ne peut pas être changée en cours de jeu, donc à bien choisir. Le seul gros problème à mon sens est l'opti qui est catastrophique. Bon, je sais bien que je suis assez loin d'avoir la meilleure config du monde mais quand on a un PC capable de faire tourner tranquillement pas mal des plus gros jeux et que pour Romeo ça n'atteint pas le 60fps sans abuser à mort du DLSS, je me dis qu'il y a quand même un sale problème. Bonne chance pour porter le jeu sur Switch 2 (car d'après une vidéo de Grasshopper, ils tenteraient d'en faire une réalité).
