Eh, but the seller BD Simpsons

You play as Peter Gray, BD provider Darksheer comic book fan and colleagues pen. Yes, but everything has an end. In the last issue, after the removal of the last three archenemies, pulls and disappears your hero. Love with his partner, the dark stiletto into a depression and leaves his superhero role.

After reading this, you fall asleep, and you are a very strange dream: a woman in lingerie and garters come on, covered and seems to have teeth!

You wake up with a start and removed the bell tent door is heard. Is on the threshold of a girl from a package. This is a competition winning Swans editor participated. If you open your gift, you will discover a special Darsheer BD and a silver and gold.

It takes a little time to read the comics, but this time it is discovered that Noctropolis is in danger again. Some bad approved Darksheer straight out of the prison of Flux, a new super-villain hiding his identity under a hood released.

By manipulating the silver coin, they will be teleported to the streets of Noctropolis ...

Geek, always a geek

It is true that this game was very successful old. Characters, real actors for the occasion digitized, they move as if they had a great day in the c * and I spent playing FR scream.

The gameplay is from another time: Right-click to open the Action menu. You can only use items in your inventory. It so happens that if you get stuck, we use all the objects one by one crossed that something happens. Ah, yes, because when an object is used, your hero will go directly to where it is to use.

A good thing, against those of the objects with which we interact, are very well integrated and therefore almost indistinguishable. I've heard that at some point, and click controllable objects are always a little behind the decor. Remember, though, that always found in the Looney Tunes cartoons, the darkest objects in a scene for a job. (Looking after a bee and Bip Coyote and understand).

What attracts me to this game is the ability to die. If gourez in dialogs and you do not like someone, you can also shoot in the head (thank you, Father Desmond). You can also die from poisoning, but finished at this time, a small tower in the Batcave ... er, the cave of shadows, and.

Different enemies Darksheer are quite original:

The Succubus, which is nothing more than a small vampire dress, is a former nun who participated in an exorcism with Father Desmond. In her body and she wants since the death of the priest during the ritual, the devil refuge.

Befriend Main Verte, a mutant man plants (ivy GUY).

Dreamlmer, a humanoid beings capable of dealing with your dreams and lock (no Freddy claws and measuring 1m10).

To inflict Dr. Macabre, ex reputable surgeon who has decided to pain during operation (Jack The Ripper toufou).

Hat, a specialist magician violence and death. She did not hesitate ... to make the death of their victims more theater (Vincent Price in Theatre of Blood).

Flow, the big bad of the game and has all previous jojo terrible published.

• What to say in conclusion ...

Very original, both in history and presentation concept.

The beginning is pretty amazing, is not much more to do than to read, because once you find the BD Darksheer to read many pages you have. All comics, then it becomes a reality in your life.

Then, when you get Noctropolis, the sentences are a bit more graphic. Many dark places scattered here and there with bright neon colors Vintage (source gargoyle hovers near the cathedral, for example).

It is true that, once again, has took a shot of old, like me. But being able to play as a super hero who is very good. Who did not play as Iron Man, Superman, Spiderman or the Crypt Keeper (this is my personal choice) dreamed of.

It is undeniable that Darksheer as Batman. The Fund is working well and moods are there. Noctropolis is a city tectonic in the dark by an unprecedented disaster bathed. Volcanoes spew ash continuously happen prevents sunlight. You will discover in the ruins of the ancient city of Keller.

The poor too have their story. The Succubus, sexy enemy to hurt the father or even main Desmond Verte, the image of Ivy (Batman) wants to destroy humanity with their mutant plants.

The parallel between reality and comic book look. Therefore edition du Cygne is an evil little game, building a huge tower, where the river is hidden. In any case, seeing it as revenge of the hero who died Darksheer the editors responsible.
