Doom & Destiny Review | Hardcore Droid
Hardcore Droid:
"If you’ve never played an RPG before, Doom & Destiny isn’t the place to start. Virtually every joke and piece of dialogue is meta-commentary on the tropes of that gaming genre. For example, when you walk into a pub and see two identical citizens drawn from the same character template sitting at the counter, each of them will exclaim, “The guy next to me looks just like me!” Or when it comes time to rescue the princess, one of the characters asks the villain, “Uh, why did you kidnap her in the first place?” The villain responds mostly with ellipses. Doom & Destiny isn’t trying to tell a coherent story. The way it distinguishes itself is by admitting that most RPGs have flaws in their logic—so why not own up to it and include them all?"
