Unicorn Dungeon

Part silly point’n’click adventure, part retro-inspired dungeon crawler. Go figure. For fans of genre-bending, mixing of styles and wacky humor. Sir Typhil of Creulor learned that King of Artovya, who has no heirs, is willing to give the kingdom to the courageous knight that will bring him a unicorn (a reasonable guy, clearly), so off Sir Typhil goes, for he has his eye on the prize. Many perilous travels later, our hero stumbles upon the famous beast in a rather random dungeon. The poor unicorn follows around a goblin who gave it a snack. The goblin can’t get rid of the damn thing and is none the wiser of all this “kingdom potential” under his nose. What luck! Sir Typhil will now pull all the stops (braving the treacherous dungeon included) to secure his fortune, while also rescuing the Princess, who might or might not have locked her own self up. What a weirdo. At the same time… he doesn’t have to rescue her or anybody else. Besides the unicorn. He must secure the unicorn. It’s complicated. But hey – you do have choices! This is a fairly short game (actually, part one in the series), but narration is, perhaps, one of its strongest suits if you’re keen on absurd humor and Monty …

Why will Sir Typhil’s eyes fill with tears? He wanted the answer all of these years. He’s a dancer, romancer, advancer, and knight, who solved sliding puzzles out of sight. He resolved the tutorial; rescued a princess uxorial, and climbed down a dungeon scansorial. He pointed; he clicked; but disappointed, could not evict the unicorn from the knave goblin’s cave, for only the witty and brave could save the benign equine aligned with pure heart. Use a video guide, if you’re not so smart. I admit the 8-bit dungeon was the hardest part, but I’d remit my frustration when I’d depart. Convinced he’s a prince since he slays mighty jackals, this game will give you almighty cackles. Will he bring the unicorn to the king? I cannot wait to see what the series brings.

I whole heartedly recommend this delightful and insightful game. 10/10 can't wait to play the next in the series

Amusing Pn'C coupled with a keyboard-handled dungeon crawler maze that was not shown in the demo, otherwise it would not have been bought. Which makes the demo useless, if not misleading. The maze seems to be an annoying arcade thingy at first, but it becomes bearable and easy once you realise that it's actually not arcade but tactical, turn-based. The Pn'C part itself is pretty good, with sensible puzzles, and humour that makes me laugh, or at least giggle, quite often. I recommend. Note however that this is the 1st episode of a three-parter, and I strongly recommend against the 2nd episode, which is annoying beyond belief.

This is highly recommended if you are an open minded fan of the genre. It breathes fresh air into the dusty pipings of P&C. I was surprised how well it was done on a technical level, judging from the kind of B-Movie charme it emanates. The voice acting is superb. It is a hard game though. The rogue-section really tested my will and i had to check a guide to make it all the way through. But in retrospect it made the game all the more enjoyable, because it challenged my rusty synapses. And that makes it oldschool too, in a good way. And lastly it is comedy gold. Other games try and force the humour. With this you will notice that its genuine and the developer must ne someone you'd like to have a drink with in a pub. Brilliant! P.S.: If you like it, check out the other parts of the series. It gets better and better.

I got this when Steam Coupons were still a thing, and a 90% off voucher for this game was dropped after I crafted some trading cards. If you like Monty Python, this game is for you. Made me laugh a few times. Haven't finished it yet, but I can't imagine this game is very long.
