I’m really interested to see where the story will go, as I believe that both Vella and Shay will eventually cross paths, although how this will happen I don’t know. It’s a great story with interesting characters. You should be playing this because its a visual feast, with a very unique style. But really, the puzzles aren’t why you should be playing this. I haven’t managed to get stumped by any, and I don’t really see myself having this problem later on. The puzzles are pretty simplistic, but still make you think just enough to keep it interesting. The voice acting has been solid throughout, but what would you expect with such a cast! I’m not sure whos side of the story I’m enjoying more, possibly Vella, just because she has met a lot more people which have been very entertaining, whilst Shay is obviously restricted to the confines of his ship, and therefore doesn’t have as many interactions. It’s a charming game, with great art style and weird and wacky people and creatures. So far I’ve been playing for 2 or 3 hours, and I’m really enjoying it. DUN DUN DUUUUNN! Shay, living out his mundane life It’s his shifty eyes! I’m sure hes got an ulterior motive for seeking Shays help…. These is definitely more to Marek though, and I don’t trust him. He asks for Shay to meet him, and offers him some ‘real’ missions. Lets say wolf! Marek likes to operate at night when the rest of the ship sleeps. This is when he meets Marek, who is a wolf, or a fox. He decides to try sabotaging the missions, in order to fail them, thus enabling you to break out of the boring routine, and actually experience some real missions. But why?īored by his mundane existence onboard the Bossa Nostra. They have no real purpose, and the objectives are very easy to carry out. I use the term missions very loosely, they are basically juvenile games for him to take part in. Each day Shay is tasked with performing ‘missions’ given out by the ships motherly computer.
Vella, and a surprising Lumberjack (hint – WHHHEEEAAATON)Īlongside Vellas story, you have Shay, a young man living on a spaceship. But rest assured it will mostly revolve around trying to defeat Mog Chothra. I won’t delve more in the her story as there would be nothing left for you to enjoy if I did that. Weirdly, pretty much everyone doesn’t like this idea, and are more concerned with looking appetizing enough to be selected.ĭuring the feast, Vella manages to escape on a big ol’ bird. She argues that if everyone banded together they could fight Mog Chothra, and defeat him, then no more sacrifices would be needed. Vella thinks this is pretty ridiculous, and, for obvious reasons, doesnt want to be ‘sacrificed’ and would rather live. Vella is chosen as a sacrifice to the beast Mog Chothra during the ‘Maidens Feast’.
So needless to say I was excited by the prospect of going back to the genre.ĭouble Fine’s Broken Age is a two branched story, one branch follows Vella, a young woman who lives in the town of Sugar Bunting. And since then, I haven’t played many true point and click adventure games. I think the only point and click game I’ve played by Tim Schafer was ‘ Day of the Tentacle’, and that was probably 15-20 years ago. What do you get when the mastermind of point and click adventures returns to the genre after 16 years? The answer is Broken Age.
