Kaptain Brawe was made with love, but ultimately is pretty bland.
The story is a familiar one... you play a "hero" that is only great in his own mind, helped by his begrudging underling that really does all the work, as you help solve various problems around your (rather small) solar system.
The artwork is well done -- it's 1800's-esque settings with a bit of steampunk and railroad-era looking tech, with space travel. It's going for a pulp fiction feel. The puzzles are not terrible, but tend to be pretty straightforward and easy, while the hard puzzles are obtuse. The game attempts to keep the humor up with lots of one liners and dialog-based jokes, but it's pretty... well... bad...
Again, making great puzzles is VERY hard to do, and making humorous dialog is also really hard to do, but this game lacks both, which ultimately makes the whole affair pretty boring.
The good:
+ Lovingly done, colorful, hand-drawn graphics with lots of nice detail.
+ Plenty of puzzles to solve -- not a lot of talky exposition.
The not-so-good:
- The dialog and characters are really bland and lack any laugh-out-loud humor. The dialog is all text (there's no recorded voice), which would be fine if the writing were better...
- Puzzles are a little too easy and straightforward. I don't want obtuse, but I'd like at least some clever puzzles...
- Game world is a little lifeless -- more characters to interact with could've helped a lot.
