GameZebo: Although “Take My Machete” sounds like a murderous one-liner from comedy king Henny Youngman (“Take my machete—please!”), it’s actually a brief set of instructions on how to survive in an alien-ravaged world. Little green men have landed on Earth, and someone needs to do something about it. You’re elected. Grab yourself a big, big knife and show those alien scum how humans do things downtown.
TouchGen: Here’s a great joke: An alien walks into a bar. In this bar, a band named Machete are playing a gig. The next thing we see is the place completely empty with three guys wondering where all their gear has gone and a body of a fourth mysteriously slumped in the corner. Ha! Hilarious! Hahaha. Ha…no.
148apps: Take My Machete offers plenty of charm to a well trodden genre, it just lacks tight and accurate controls.
An alien walks into a bar. No, seriously, that’s how the game begins. An alien walks into a bar where a band named Machete are playing a gig, then due to production costs, or perhaps the developer being late for his dinner and forgetting to flesh out a key part of the story, the next thing we see is the bar completely empty with three guys wondering where all their gear has gone and a body of a fourth mysteriously slumped in the corner. Now this may only be an iOS title and not the next blockbuster hit from Christopher Nolan, but their term ‘Plot Hole’ springs to mind. Did the alien fancy starting his own rock band and not have enough money to buy instruments? It’s a fair question to ask.
