Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
The Adventures of Fatman is an indie point-and-click adventure game developed by SOCKO! Entertainment and published by Screen 7, a title that feels like a deep-cut tribute to the golden age of adventure gaming while gleefully poking fun at superhero culture and genre clichés. Originally released in 2003 and later re-released as a “Special Edition” on Steam, the game has retained a kind of cult appeal, especially among fans of the Adventure Game Studio (AGS) community. At its core, this is a deeply irreverent and self-aware romp through the fictional city of Shadowlawn, where crime is rampant, mutants are on the loose, and our unlikely hero is a pudgy, donut-loving crimefighter known as Fatman. You play as the titular Fatman, a caped crusader who is less Batman and more bargain-bin parody. He’s arrogant, lazy, and utterly convinced of his own greatness, which makes him the perfect vessel for the game’s satirical tone. The story begins with an explosion at a cosmetics factory, resulting in the emergence of a toxic supervillain known as Toxicman, whose plan to zombify the population sets the stage for a citywide mystery. Fatman must investigate, interrogate, and bumble his way throug…3 found this helpful
The first commercial game made with Adventure Game Studio. That would be impressive if the game was any good. It's not horrible, but it's clearly an amateur production and it shows. The voice acting is bad, the music is composed of midi files (in 2003 that was a bit outdated), but the graphics aren't too bad and are very Lucasarts-esque.2 found this helpful
Silly little comic graphic adventure. Black humor in best Sierra Tradition. Including hillarious ways to die. Very cheap game but you get quite a lot entertainmant for your Euro retrail price. Definetely get this one.2 found this helpful
It's like them LucasArts games without any of the charm!
The Fart Knights Rises. Everything I wanted and needed from a Point & Click Adventure Game that wasn't trying to take itself seriously. Just a ripping good time. The Parody Batman, the Easter-Eggs to be found, everything about this is hilarious from Sound to Dialogue to the Intentionally Poor Art Style. Nothing is to be taken seriously, nothing makes sense and it's just the way it's supposed to be. I admit I got stuck momentarily with your typical Adventure Game Shenanigans and I won't say where to avoid story spoilers, but this is so worth everyone's time to check out and it's such a cheap game you can't REALLY say no!
