You find yourself thrown straight into the action without so much as a basic tutorial, even those who played earlier Deathspank games will see themselves swamped by enemies and forced to respawn at the nearest outhouse over and over. Newcomers to the series are subjected to a baptism of fire, this is by no means an easy game and it does nothing to help out new players. For those who have played the previous games playing The Baconing will feel like returning to a well worn groove. The few new additions include ranged weapons that can now be charged up for extra damage and a new ability to reflect projectiles back at foes. The peace, and by extension Deathspank’s boredom, is then quickly cut short as Cyborques attack.Īs the third game of the series, The Baconing carries on with the RPG aspect, but brings no real innovations to the table. By wearing all the thongs of justice at the same time though Deathspank inadvertently creates an evil doppelganger of himself, the Antispank. Following directly on from Thongs of Justice, Deathspank has grown bored of the perfect society he created. The storyline is just as absurd as the humour. Jokes are fired off at an alarmingly fast rate with Deathspank and co cracking wise at every target possible, even taking a few pot shots at the games’ mechanics along the way. Brimming with machismo and bravado and spewing hundreds of one-liners he takes on any quest in the name of justice no matter how farcical or illogical they sound. Laughs can be found aplenty in The Baconing, Deathspank is a brilliant pastiche of the classic manly-man hero. It becomes downright absurd when you find out that the entire game is based around the character’s humour. This becomes even more surprising when you realise The Baconing is a sequel to two previous games that each mention him in their titles. One curious omission from the name though is the protagonist, Deathspank. It tells you that the game is chock full of pop-culture references to delight internet enthusiasts, enemies that can be harder to get through than extra crispy strips of bacon and absurdist humour that is almost as good a hangover cure as everyone’s favourite meat treat. While The Baconing isn’t quite as blatant as these examples you can still learn a lot from its name. Even non-gamers can tell from their names alone that Grand Theft Auto is going to have a fair bit of crime involved, that Rock Band has a large musical element and that Portal involves… well… portals.
