This game is a deep dive into comic books world. Hard to beat comparing to today's point and click standards. It's so underrated in my opinion and not many people know this game. Give it a try if you like hard to beat adventure games and adult entertainment.
Great throwback to my childhood, I enjoyed it, works like a charm on a CRT PC monitor. Just had to play with a guide as I am too old to scan a screen pixel by pixel for items to pick up :)
Noctropolis is mediocre adventure game where you play as a rip-off batman. It promises a lot of comic like graphics, but this is only in the beginning and later on only visible in all the cheesy, over-the-top outfits.
The first thing you have to overcome is the UI. Especially the inventory system is terrible. The first puzzle which needed an inventory item we had to look up, even though we knew roughly what to do. That is how horrible the controls are.
Next there is the navigation. A lot of places on the city map stay active after exhausting all actions there. It is also often unclear what building you have to return to.
The final horrific part is the Stiletto character. Poorly acted, is supposed to be hot, but looks like my mom. This character just pisses me off. Oh yes, the end is also atrocious.
But not all is bad. Even though it is cheesy it is a lot of fun to play through! The voice acting is bad in a fun way which suits the style and by far the best are the villains. They give a creepy and gruesome undertone to the story and the environment they are related to are just really cool.
I cannot advice Noctropolis to anyone. As a seasoned adventure game player I think it was fun, but a comic love could be lured in something he/she might not expect. Whatever you choose; only buy it on discount, since it is really not worth the full price.
I remember playing this back in the mid-90s. Some of the puzzles are a little tricky as the items are difficult to see when you should pick them up. Good story and nice visuals.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
