Black Friday: The Game

Full review at: https://thegamehoard.com/2019/11/28/black-friday-the-game-pc/ Black Friday: The Game not only fails to capture any of the exaggerated shopping fervor surrounding the day after Thanksgiving, but it can’t even deliver on its top down Rogue-like design well. The upgrade system is bare bone and mostly just equates to damage increases that serve to speed up the slow fights, enemies relying mostly on badly randomized room layouts to have a chance of damaging the player. So long as luck doesn’t screw you over, Black Friday: The Game quickly becomes rote, the imbalanced difficulty never finding a sweet spot since the game is far too simplistic to enjoy once you understand what little it has to offer. Black Friday: The Game is at its best when you’re just squirting ketchup at grannies from afar, and even then it’s just humdrum action instead of an engaging give-and-take. Once the small amount of enemy diversity increases, you’re either strong enough to handle any layout save for unlucky ones or still so weak it takes ages to repel the new threats. Some tweaking to the difficulty or more interesting variables to latch onto could salvage Black Friday: The Game somewhat, but…

If you like The Binding of Isaac, or similar rouge-likes this is the game you should try! Especially now just before the black friday. This game includes: - Awesome retro graphics - Cool music - Relaxing gameplay - One of the most awesome weapons of all time: THE BOTTLE OF KETCHUP. Just buy this game (it's cheap so you don't need a sale to do this) and fight for that TV you have always wanted. 10/10

nuts

simple, retro, arcade game and i love it! no video games can ever beat the classics! levels, enemies and weaponry are equally balanced. i see nothing wrong when playing but the adrenaline for each level. it'd be nice to add ketchup package mines or ketchup pack grenades as additional arsenal but just the ketchup bottle and its upgrades are good enough to get through each levels. https://youtu.be/Ba-JdMPPJro
