Despite latest reports of the game’s catastrophic demise, a “janky” demo of post-cyberpocalyptic goof-em-up Barkley 2 has been launched to Kickstarter backers after six and a half years of ready. Whether anything comes of the mission now that almost all of Tales Of Game’s has absconded is as much as the fates to resolve, however the actuality is that individuals are taking part in Barkley 2 proper now. Below, a pair hours of this weird, ceaselessly very humorous motion RPG streamed early in the present day by “mdct” on Twitch. Check it out, or the Joke’s on you.
The Magical Realms of Tír na nÓg: Escape from Necron 7 – Revenge of Cuchulainn: The Official Game of the Movie – Chapter 2 of the Hoopz Barkley SaGa is ready 4 thousand years after the unique (and free) Tales of Game’s Studios Presents Chef Boyardee’s Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden, Chapter 1 of the Hoopz Barkley SaGa, and requires little information of the unique, as a result of its protagonist has compulsory amnesia. He doesn’t know his identify, however is aware of that b-ball flows by his veins. Or motor oil. Or corn syrup, relying on what you choose in character creation.
The present model is unsurprisingly buggy, unbalanced and fairly tough as a game. As a joke supply system, it really works nice although. From the overblown Ultima-inspired character creation system (My racial enemies are YouTube Let’s Players and Garfield) to the in-game faux web (together with Chat Roulette), there’s so much to see and revel in. There’s even a bit extra as a consequence of be launched. While not built-in into the game (nevertheless it’s simple to see the place it’s meant to go), the Bball Tactics mini-game is because of be launched quickly to backers, after which hopefully most people.
While I don’t count on way more to return out of the Barkley 2 Kickstarter than this half-functional and unfinished construct of the game, I’m glad that one thing playable was launched. It’s as dense with bizarre humour as I hoped, with jokes starting from smirk-worthy to laugh-out-loud humorous. Despite the game being not less than 85% useless in line with the one remaining member of Tales Of Game’s, that’s nonetheless so much higher than 100% useless. Given the sheer density of gags, it’s no shock that the game slipped into growth hell. Here’s hoping it could possibly not less than rise to purgatory.
You can learn a bit extra in regards to the present state of Barkley 2, and a number of the concepts scrapped from the game on its Kickstarter updates page here. The Janky Demo is at the moment obtainable to backers solely, though I don’t count on it’ll be lengthy earlier than it’s distributed far and extensive. If you don’t have any thought what’s happening, attempt the unique, free Barkley: Shut Up And Jam Gaiden that began all of it. You gained’t be any the wiser afterwards, nevertheless it’s good for a chuckle.
