Tragedy of Prince Rupert

Strašne melancholická chujovina ale na pár minút hrania poteší 🤍

Game was boring. No substance, only aimlessly shooting things.

There's a lot of game genres I'm bad at. Platformers. Fighting games. Pretty much anything multiplayer. And usually, I try to stay away from those games, since they usually bring me more frustration than anything, and ain't got nobody have time for dat. One other such genre is Shoot 'Em Ups / Bullet Hells. I love the concept, I love watching people play them... I really want to be good at them – I just ain’t. And the mentioned frustration is so prevalent everytime I give it another try, I’ve pretty much completely given up on the genre as a whole. In comes Tragedy of Prince Rupert, an older game by HROT developer Spytihněv, which is what made it ping on my radar. And a few weeks back, when everyone and their mom was streaming HROT (which is excellent, go play it), I figured, ah, what the (Bullet) Hell, let’s suffer through yet another of those games just to shine a light on one of the brilliant developers of our time too few people have heard of (and entertain some viewers with my cursing). And, don’t get me wrong, suffer, I did. Curse, I did. Enjoying my time with this game? Absolutely! And this is not because of some deeply-rooted masochism I got to live out while playing – it’s simply because this game is, despite the genre, simply great. I was still really bad at it, but the fun prevailed. Tragedy of Prince Rupert has a rather unique and utterly gorgeous art style, brilliant sound design, and game mechanics that put many AAA titles of the genre to shame. I could go on about the perk system, the anchor mechanic or how and why your old-timey hot air balloon can dive underwater. I could spend paragraph on paragraph about the enemy units, the Kraken, and flying into space. But I won’t. I’ll give you just one more paragraph: Play this game. At its price point there’s hardly any excuse not to, but if that’s the one thing that’s holding you back, message me and I’ll gift it to you. It’s really that good.

A whimsical indie game with a very charming art style. Well worth anytime you give it.
