Wasted potential
The beginning of this game is amazing. It all starts with a compelling intro, followed by the discovery of several Darksheer comic books which do an excellent job of introducing the characters and setting. And then the story gets off to a great start. You'll be dazzled by beautiful pixel art backgrounds accompanied by some great music. The game seems so full of promise and potential. But by the end of the game, you will likely be very frustrated. All that beautiful setup with no payoff! The game is really quite short, it feels like half the game it should be. Fascinating characters are introduced, but never given time to develop. In particular, many of the villains simply seem to just show up, utter a few lines and vanish! And the central mystery of this game is also resolved in the worst possible way. The ending just doesn't make sense and is a total letdown. The gameplay is fine, standard adventure game stuff. Most puzzles are very easy but there are a few that are very difficult and counter-intuitive unless you happen to stumble upon the solution by chance. Unfortunately there were only one or two really fun puzzles of a more moderate difficulty. One thing I really liked was the witty, humorous, and well-written text descriptions for even the least important items and actions in the game. This is one area the developers clearly invested a lot of time and effort into. But since there's only one or two important objects on most screens, and there are a lot of timed sections that discourage exploration, you may not get to fully appreciate this aspect. The much-hyped nudity and violence are nothing special, don't buy the game for these elements or you'll be disappointed. And don't buy it for the superhero elements either: Darksheer has some cool abilities but they are almost never used in game. Basically, awesome start, with great graphics and music, but short length, poorly fleshed out story and characters, and awful ending make this hard to recommend.
