You’ll use shovels, jack hammers, potato peelers, and mammoth tusks to dismember your foes. I suppose I should mention that swords are of course still around and still fucking awesome. Just like in the first game when you get the rapid-fire end game crossbow that turns the game into easy mode TOV has the alien laser gun that can be acquired by level 15 and basically turns the game into Highlander mode where you are the Highlander and instead of fighting other Highlanders you are fighting babies who are now on fire. The rocket launchers and grenades also come in the following flavors: fire, ice, nature, and undeath for all your killing necessities. You’ll come across Tommy guns, light machine guns, rocket launchers, grenades, and a laser gun. The guns in this game run on ammo and you’ll go through it fairly quickly, but that’s ok since enemies are also equipped with the same guns and will supply you with ammo once you pry it off their dead fingers. The first thing you’ll notice when you play the game is that crossbows have been replaced with mechanical tubes that spit lead and fire. There’s a ton of stuff to do in TOV and you’re going to be looking at around 8+ hours of gameplay if you want to do it all. This time around you’ll be aiding little green aliens kills racist red aliens, “recruit” ghouls into Lawrence of Arabia’s militia, hunt dangerous beasts for a hunter, learn birthday songs, and foreclose homes. Sidequests are just as quirky as the first game but some of them are ripped straight from the first game and collecting manure for a farmer isn’t as funny the second time around, but that only happens with a vast minority of them. You’ll travel from war-torn battlefields, robot factories, wild west areas, and frosty mountains on your quest for the 3 thongs.
The map in TOV poops jungle donkey dung all over the first game, and Hot Head wasn’t kidding when they said this was a bigger adventure. This time Deathspank is on a quest to gather 3 more thongs from an evil nun, a television cook, and the jolly man Santa Claus himself who have all been corrupted by their thongs. People who haven’t played the first game should know that you don’t need to play the first to understand the second since the game makes no references to the first except for mentioning the antagonist Lord Von Prong and a few sidequests. Deathspank might poke some fun and reference the first game when speaking to NPC’s that reappear in TOV, but that’s as far as it goes.ĭeathspank Thongs of Virtue starts out a bit after the events of the first game where our hero has been captured (again) by Orques. That’s not to say TOV is only for people who liked the first since you don’t need to have played the first game to jump straight into this one. If you loved the first you’re going to love this, but things you may not have enjoyed (such as the clunky inventory screen) are still here. TOV is more or less a carbon copy of the original Deathspank which is a good and bad thing. It’s only been a few months since we last saw our hero of the downtrodden and he’s been quite busy in Thongs of Virtue.
