The Last Day of Adolf is a 2D retro pixel point and click adventure game similar to the old generation 1 Scumm engine games from LucasArts (unsurprising considering it was "made" by filling out templates in Adventure Game Studio, which is a construction kit dedicated to making only this type of game). I'm uncertain as to whether this is a joke game, or it's just so badly made that it's indistinguishable from a joke game. A question for the philosophers of our time, to be sure.
You'll be confronted by badly mangled writing, again unclear if the writing is so bad because it's a joke, badly translated, or just plain bad. This is coupled with fairly lazy attempts at filling out the templates (the "developer" didn't bother filling out all of the templates so many of the actions in the game which you would expect would elicit some response, even if a simple negative one, do nothing at all). There's a Hitler theme as you explore Hitler's last day in his bunker, but this is unfaithfully done and seems to be an attempt at clickbait (hence my feeling this may well be a joke game and not a serious attempt to make a game for gamers).
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.
The game only displays in 4:3 pillarboxed aspect ratio. It's possible they developed this using an old CRT they found in a dumpster, or this game has been specifically designed for people gaming on PC's from 1995... either way, this isn't really acceptable in the modern era of PC gaming.
These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game.
The poor quality of this game is reflected in the general public reception. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the game only ever reached a peak player count of just two players, and that only happened once at launch. This is a pitiful enough 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, the overwhelming lack of interest in the game is remarkable, but also to be expected. This complete and utter rejection of the game from gamers should be a keen information point for anyone considering buying shovelware like this. Gamers just didn't take this seriously, and for good reason.
The Last Day of Adolf is relatively cheap at $1 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend.
