Dashing Nerds reviews Oointah's Death by Gameshow!
Death By Game Show is a wonderfully biting commentary on society and the grim implications of where our lives of ignorance may lead. Outside of that examination of our culture, Death By Game Show offers a shallow strategy/tower defense game with little variation that becomes very stale way too quickly. Even with the level editor, there is little value to be had here.
Hardcore Gamer: I’ve been lucky. Both as a critic and gamer, it had been many months since I’d played a really bad game. Bloodborne, Metal Gear, Tomb Raider, Fallout — the triple-A games just kept coming and by and large they were firing on all cylinders. The smaller games, too: Darkest Dungeon, SteamWorld Heist, they weren’t always amazing but they were all at least competent and I wondered: are the days of really bad games over?
Death By Game Show attempts to be a comedic spin on the tower defence genre... but is it any good, or is just a stale pop-culture overload?
