Gary Hartley Writes: Within the first few moments of Guard Duty, hidden away with the enforced subtlety of a well-aimed half brick to the face, you will find a reference to 1995 point-and-click ‘classic’, Discworld. This is not by accident; Sick Chicken Studio’s debut outing less wants to be like the pixel-plotted adventure games of the 90’s and more outright wants to be one. It borrows heavily from their founding foundations, presenting inventory puzzles and bizarrely broken lateral logic atop a veneer of satire and ludicrousness. For example, Monkey Island had Guybrush, a pirate wannabe so hopeless no crew wanted any part of him. Discworld had Rincewind, a man so absolutely inept at any form of magic he could only call himself a wizard via an obscure technicality. So Guard Duty has Tondbert, who has only found employment because even guards need someone to bully.

CCG writes - "Can I recommend Guard Duty? From a gaming perspective, yes. It's got a fun soundtrack, easy gameplay once you get the hang of it, funny characters, and an interesting perspective. But the demons and Devil were too much for me. Definitely not for children."
Neil writes: "First created by Sick Chicken Studios, we now find a new point-and-click adventure arrive on Xbox One, PS4, PS Vita and Nintendo Switch, as the porting kings of Ratalaika Games drop Guard Duty to the world."
