IG writes: "Tenacious D sang it: You Can not Kill the Metal. And they are right, anyone who dares to say that this music genre is dead, has in recent years not paying attention. Metal is alive and even honored with a game. For this "tribute" to Tim Schafer and Jack Black to elect two. The first is a child since Metal fascinated by game maker with many humorous games to his name. The second, actor and musician Jack Black, Tenacious D and his band is known for its quirky rock songs that the high content of macho rock 'n' roll going. The love child of two middle-aged men somewhat dikkige is Brutal Legend. A game that is both an homage as a parody of the rock legends of yesteryear is. "
Prepare to headbang your way into glory with these metal-infused games. You'll find yourself flipping your hair in pure excitement.
The Humble Day of the Devs Bundle 2022 just launched. It includes sixteen items including Psychonauts, Brutal Legend, Broken Age, and more.
The world of Brutal Legend looks like something a 14 year-old metal head would draw on their notebook while not paying attention.
Liked the aesthetic, tone, humor, and action combat.
Didn't care for the RTS elements.
Never cared to finish it.
PS360 gen was special, then again it was still the mid 2000s. Everything went to shite in the teens
I think that was the breaker for Doublefine's creative ambitions and their mixing of genres (which was getting kinda stale). It was a nice to look at but it was more of a tribute to the many things Tim loves, was influenced by and has great admiration for....but the forced RTS stuff was like a drinking buddy's "great idea" that never should have come to light. The game seemed a lot more vast, but it ended pretty quickly too. And Jack Black. As much as I don't care for him as an actor (annoying and requires constant attention), this was absolutely made with him in mind and it worked. I mean come on, Tenacious D? For as Metal as this game was trying to be, even comically, it did little more than meow.
