![]() Asking a fisherman why he doesn’t live by a lake or chatting with Tina the Taco Wench are two highlights. In fact it’s the trivial characters that tend to be funnier. Even the trivial characters which mill about the many settlements or travel the roads of DeathSpank’s world have something to say. The quests are proverbial: pedestrian fetch quests, kill X numbers of these monsters, collect X number of these things. But they’re made interesting via the characters you meet and the deep well of dialogue invested in each of them.Īnd that doesn’t just apply to the characters you stumble into during the main quest – which has you rescuing orphans and extinguishing the Leprechaun mafia (among other notable events). If you’ve played Diablo or any of its many clones you have a good idea what you’re in for here. DeathSpank is all charm but he’s stupid and oafish too.ĭeathSpank (the game, not the man) is a fairly rudimentary RPG/ loot-em-up hybrid. Voice-work is uncannily similar to the latter man – and equally superb – and he goes about his adventures with the same degree of faux captain’s arrogance as the both of them. Having graduated from the same academy of wannabe-heroes as Captain Quark and Zapp Brannigan, DeathSpank is on a mission to find The Artifact. Luckily DeathSpank’s inability to eat crisps isn’t nearly as funny as the script guiding him through this well-paced adventure. It’s that kind of inexplicable madness – madness inherent to any Diablo-esque loot-‘em-up that I find totally, and inadvertently, hilarious. Poor DeathSpank the self proclaimed hero to the downtrodden may be on a crusade to save the world from crooning orques and poncey princes but he can’t eat a plate of hot Nachos until he’s made it to level 3.
