Genre: Indie, Action, RPG (Rogue-Like)
We’re gonna do this one like the old days… When we use to rant about random shit before getting to the actual review? Why… cuz… we… can! We do shit differently around here. First off we cuss like mother fuckin’ sailors. We are straight forward and brutal about our thoughts, our opinions. If we think your game sucks balls. We tell you to your face. No really I have actually done that during a interview. Sure we can be subjective. We will tell you why we think your game sucks balls.
If you want to offer us money to give your game a good review. We will take your money and make the title we were paid to kiss ass! Meaning…. We won’t give your game a good review because you want to pay us. See we here at The Drastik Measure actually have a little bit of morale standing. We do have a backbone. Even if we are poor as fuck and can barely afford our survival.
With that said… Let’s blow some motherfuckers up!
While playing Death Skid Marks you might come across this awesome graffiti art image above. When the game was in development we played the game and gave our thoughts. They even addressed some of those things. AWESOME RIGHT?! A DEVELOPER THAT LISTENS!!! OH MY FUCKING GOD! Because we helped them out and they are such cool people, they put this master piece into their game.
Death Skid Marks is really in a genre all on it’s own. There isn’t many games like it. Sure it can be called a rogue-like but it really separates itself from other rogue-like games. The developers told me they drew inspiration from FTL. I guess I can see that but again… It’s just in a league of it’s own. We give them huge props for that.
The game itself is full of obscenities, and we loved every last bit of it. The action is great. The art is fantastic. Explosions, blood, drugs, boobs, more blood…… Even more explosions… ROCK MUSIC! Then…. AND THEN! They added content from Hotline Miami. This only made an already great game even better.
When you start you pick your difficulty. You pick which car / character you start with. As you play you can unlock more cars. Which is friggin awesome! You go down stretches of road on your way to a concert. You make pit stops and can pick up new crew members along the way. You can also upgrade your car, your characters, the weapons they use. You continue down the road and fight various people in their various cars. The action is fun to watch. Fun to play.
There are several mini games as you reach different pit stops down the road. Russian Roulette, which if you win the character who plays gets upgraded. If they lose… well they die. You can gamble, you can send characters into experimentation. All the makings of a good rogue-like are there. The thing that truly sets it above the rest is when you blend it all together. The game is pretty deep and you can easily get lost playing the game.
Did I mention lots of cussing, blood, and explosions? Sure we would love more options support such as resolution changes. Especially for streamers. What would we like to see added to this game that we think would send the developers for a ride? Online CO-OP-edition.
We give Death Skid Marks… A Drastik Measure … 9.1/10 FUCK YEA!
R.I.P. Lernie!
