Script Used:
Who hasn't fantasized about being the Grim Reaper? To pass judgement and make thousands of people Shuffle off the Mortal coil at your vary whim? Just me? Well how about settling for being the grim reapers personal assistant? Well in Death coming that's exactly what you are. You'll spend your time finding inventive and fun ways of murdering everybody in the world. Well murder probably isn't the right word. Let's call it using Ingenuity and creative thinking to help resolve mortal conflicts. You'll spend your time looking for various objects and finding new ways for them to kill the citizens of death coming's world.
As far as the actual game play of the game you'll spend your time clicking on pixels like it were one of the adventure games of yesteryear. Now I have to fully admit that I usually hate this kind of gameplay. I find adventure games incredibly boring and, for me, offer very little entertainment value. But this game, I really like this game. Sure you are hunting for pixels to murder people but at the same time the payoff is so satisfying and the pixel hunting is never to a frustrating degree. You'll almost never be pixel hunting an entire screen for one thing to click on. There are dozens and dozens of things in the environment that you can influence to bring about the demise of the people there in. Every death feel satisfying to pull off.
The game feels good because presents the puzzles and rewards at a good clip. And in this game no puzzle is especially difficult to pull off but they are all very satisfying. When zoomed out it's like you are playing a game of where's Waldo instead of looking for a goofy guy with a sweater and stupid hat you are looking for instruments of death. That's not to say you'll be killing without impedance. Kill enough people and pesky little buggers known as Angels will appear to make your after life slightly more difficult. If they see you interacting with any object, they will take away one of your hearts. And like many a game before it, it relies on the tried and true baseball rules of three strikes and you're out. Or in this instance you've failed the level and will need to start over again.
I usually tend to focus on the negative of games when I review them and leave it up to the player to find the good stuff. It's always nice to open a christmas present and find something awesome rather than opening it to find socks. Better to be surprised by the good stuff rather than blindsided by a hot, soupy, used jock strap. I may be losing the metaphor but my point is that there's not a lot to complain about for this game. Well, maybe there are a few things, but none of them deal breakers. Sometimes it's difficult to see exactly where some rolling objects will land before you activate them, the angels can see your entire aura when you use an object, even when they are facing away from it, and music gets louder as you zoom out, when it seems like it should be the other way around and I guess in a perfect world it would have controller support, even though with a mouse is clearly the way the game was designed to be played. That's about it. I guess if I HAD to come up with another complaint it would be that the same is a tad short for $7. It took me about four hours to complete and I took my time. All the minor gripes I've got for the five hours I've spent with the game in total. It's well crafted and nails what it's going for. New mechanics are introduced at a good pace, the difficulty ramps up at a satisfying curve...there's just not a lot of negative things for me to latch onto and that makes me super happy. It may not play well with YouTube's viewing algorithms where they want longer videos, but I'm not here to serve YouTube, I'm here to serve you. And I'm here to tell you that Death Coming, is a really fun game in a genre I usually hate.
