I was a Kickstarter backer, and eagerly awaited this release since having played the prologue demo. It's not only great, it completely blew me away with its variety! BROK is an adventure game with many choices. You can choose to fight or not to fight, you can be kind or you can be cruel, and you can solve puzzles or fight your way past them. Normally, having so many options can be scary, since you are usually forced to commit to your decisions, and end up locked out of certain paths or endings until you start all over again. In BROK the InvestiGator, you always have a chance! You can save at most opportunities, making it easy to alter events if you want. You can even restart the chapter you're on from the beginning, and once you clear the last chapter, begin from any one you want. Those who like to exhaust every dialogue option or want to see how all paths unfold won't be disappointed; there are many great characters to talk to and interact with, and their stories and actions may change significantly depending on what you do. It can be truly shocking how scenarios turn out, and the underlying mysteries will make you want to discover what the truth behind these occurrences is. The excellent art, voice acting and music also adds to the experience. Point and click fans will be right at home with the systems in place, with the added touch of being able to switch to an action mode and smash some things up! For the times you get stuck, there are hidden collectables called Ads, which also function as a hint system. They can be very well hidden though! The beat 'em up part is a lot of fun too, with several enemy types, weapons and combos to see. It's quite tough if you're not used to it, even on normal difficulty, so I recommend training often if you plan to fight, and to save lots of money for food. If you're not a fan of fighting, easy mode lets you skip it altogether. All in all, I highly recommend this title, especially if you're a fan of the two genres!
