Released over the weekend, Weird RPG is a small action-RPG tripping across dimensions.
From fantasy forests to a post-apocalyptic modern city overrun with zombies, click-click-click to burst baddies and grab loot.
you’ve got the option to unlock more weapon abilities and swap them in and out.
All stats are determined by your gear too, no levels here.
Bosses are tougher, requiring learning their attack patterns and dodging.
These boss fights can be intense, and quite fun with good gear.
Oh, the gear!
The strongest stuff gets weird.
Some weird items are voice-activated: make noise into your microphone and it’ll charge or trigger an effect.
Others detect your graphics card and offer bigger bonuses to people with worse hardware.
Weird gear I have seen includes:
Those lousy trousers are how I ended up with numb lips.
But the AK-47 made me remember childhood playground machinegun noises.
Tongue blown buzzing against the palate wasn’t distinct enough to properly register.
But blowing through trilling lips, oh yeah, that’s the stuff, that does it.
Non-stop dunks, here we come!
The wackiness can be funny, and fun.
I always enjoyed discovering a daft new punch in of effect, too.
Weird RPG falls apart when you run into difficulty.
Some bosses would just murder me until I gave in to grinding.
Gear has no randomisation either, so repeat drops are just vendor trash, never exciting or satisfying.
I will not be starting over with a new save to repeat all that.
Still, I’ll always remember the time voice-activated trousers made my lips go numb.
