Gamekit:"DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue is 50 percent longer than the first game and will feature new extreme settings such as on sea and at the North Pole.
Deathspank will also be traveling in a more modern setting, meaning guns and rockets will be added to your arsenal. The off-line two player co-op mode will also feature a new character that can be changed between on the fly."
Since their humble beginnings as text-based narratives, adventure games have come a long way. Over the years, they have evolved and transformed into immersive and visually stunning experiences. Text-based adventure games, or interactive fiction, emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s. These games relied solely on text descriptions to guide players through a story, allowing them to make choices that would affect the outcome. Computer text adventure games started with Scott Adam's Adventureland, but the most famous one is probably Zork: The Great Underground Empire by Infocom. The company created many other excellent titles, including Starcross and Planetfall, released in 1983.
Original Monkey Island creators Ron Gilbert and Dave Grossman talk with us about the series' humor and bringing it forward 30 years in an interview from PAX West.
The gameplay trailer reveals the reimagined designs of Guybrush Threepwood and friends and a console launch exclusive on Nintendo Switch.
Return to Monkey Island is an unexpected, thrilling return of series creator Ron Gilbert that continues the story of the legendary adventure games The Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge developed in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games.
It’s been many years since Guybrush Threepwood was last locked in a battle of wits with his nemesis, the zombie pirate LeChuck. His true love, Elaine Marley, has turned her focus away from governing and Guybrush himself is adrift and unfulfilled, having never found the Secret of Monkey Island. Hip, young pirate leaders led by Captain Madison have shuffled the old guard from power, Melee Island has taken a turn for the worse, and famed businessman Stan has been imprisoned for ‘marketing-related crimes’.
Banter with old friends and new faces on familiar islands now under dangerous new leadership. Then, take to the high seas and explore the new and unknown as you work your way out of tough predicaments. Clever puzzles, bizarre situations, and devastating ripostes are all that stand between Guybrush and glory.
i mean, im glad there is another game but the art style direction ... im not so sure.
it reminds me of guacamelee, and it worked for those two games.
we'll see. lol
Online co-op was the one thing that was sorely missing from deathspank 1. It's disappointing to hear it wont be added.
I'm gonna buy this when they put this on dubbel pack in the store not gonna waste 30$ ill get them both when they drop to 20$ or lower if I'm lucky
A sequel already??? I played the demo for the first and was quite underwhelmed so I doubt I'll have any interest in another one.
