The last Baron's stunt (Anime), also known as "biplanes", is more garbage Russian shovelware infesting Steam. It's designed to be achievement spam to generate sales from "achievement hunters" who want to show off achievements on their profiles without actually playing games. Taking this shovelware seriously (which nobody should) it's a simple lunar-lander hybrid game where you "fly" a biplane through caves using a lunar-lander style thrust system plus some limited aerodynamics... I guess that's novel gameplay, but surrounded with what is otherwise complete, lazy "minimum viable product" production value. And of course tilesets that the developer stole off the internet and never credited the actual creator for, so it's plagiarism, too.
From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard.
A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result.
While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality. Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lacklustre 2D visuals.
Bewilderingly, the game doesn't include proper audio controls, so you can reduce slightly but not turn off the annoying background music, you'll need to alt+tab out and stop the music using the Windows sound mixer. This is obviously not okay and it's unclear why the developers chose not to include this basic feature.
These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game.
The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 2 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 50,000 games for gamers to choose from (over 9,000 completely free titles), the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected.
The last Baron's stunt (Anime) has the gamer gouging price of around $4 USD, it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam.
