Bottom Line:
DeathSpank is kind of a loot based hack-n-slash action RPG that relies heavily on quests. You play as a relatively dim-witted hero of the downtrodden named DeathSpank. This isn't a game that takes itself seriously - there are a bunch of off-the-wall quests and lines of dialog. Basically the combat consists of using the face buttons (A,B,X,Y). In the end, DeathSpank succeeds in vanquishing the forces of evil - well at least until the sequel (i wish i would have bought that when it was on sale). i actually spent longer on a playthrough of this than i did BioShock
Grade: B
What to Expect:
* Fighting a bunch of enemies with the face buttons
* Using potions and food to heal (and you will actually need these)
* A bunch of quests - many are of the fetch or kill monster x variety. Much of the time you will be on some quest or other.
* Numerous outhouses to discover - used for quick travel or resurrecting the character
* A decent length XBLA title
* Thankfully, not much of a penalty for dying
* Some action game elements (talking about Monkey Island type action games)
* Fortune Cookies - you can find these scattered around, they can be used to get hints about how to complete quests.
* Some sort of strange characters, quests and dialog
How i Played:Difficulty: Easy (Still died a lot, you probably would want to play at harder level to get more XP)
Time Spent: About 13-15 hours (it is annoying to get to level 20)
Achievements: 12/12 or 200/200
Achievements:
The achievements here are attainable at any difficulty level. One tip, termites eat the outer rim of a wooden wheel so it can be used as a gear. The achievements are for story events, killing enemies, side quests, reaching the maximum level, and even one for doing something specific in the menu.
