Toto Temple Deluxe Impressions

From -Alpha

Fun. Friends. Frantic. These three F words will guide your experience through the hilarious and joyfully insane game known as Toto Temple Deluxe.

Created by Juicy Beast. Toto Temple Deluxe is a 2D local multiplayer game in which you use a versatile moveset to fend off up to 3 other players, while trying to maintain control of...a goat.

This goat is the lifeblood of how you win. Hold the goat to get more points, and simply hold it for as long as possible to win. Sounds simple, right? Well, it is. And that's where the charm really comes in. It's easy enough for anyone to pick up and have fun. If you have friends over, this is the kind of game you'd want to pop in. Grab a beer (or juice if you're not old enough), sit back, and have some laughs. If you are familiar with games like Tower Fall, you can expect to find the same fun here.

Now, every player has a set of moves. You can jump around as you'd expect, but you also have a nice dash move, that lets you jet across a level in one direction. Scattered across the level are coins of various value that help you boost your score, but really, it's the goat that spits out the most points, and guarantees victory.

Using these dash moves and jumps, you can steal the coveted goat by ramming into the goat carrier (get it? Ram?). From there on, your movements are a lot faster, though you cannot dash. These simple balance mechanic makes the game a lot of fun, as on one hand, you can dash around to steal the goat, while the goat carrier cannot himself have a runaway win. In fact, the chaos here comes from chasing the goat carrier, dodging obstacles, and collecting coin.

The gameplay here is buttery smooth and perfect. You can expect to jump with great precision, and dash across the screen instantly. The levels themselves are well designed, bright and colourful like the rest of the game, yet full of traps and obstacles to overcome. Some levels will trap you in a box, forcing you to waste precious time away from the goat (alternatively you can stay holed up in the trap if you carry the goat). Levels are also very varied, ranging from beautiful aquatic maps, and of course, temples.

While playing with friends is the real blast, Toto Temple Deluxe features CPU players that are very well competent and will give you a great run for your money.

Modes in Toto Temple Deluxe consist of a free for all, a team battle mode, and if you're feeling extra chaotic, an elimination mode where the goat becomes a bomb. This adds some nice variety to the gameplay, as you go from maddeningly ramming the goat carrier to carefully trying to escape his fiery wrath.

The last thing that you must absolutely know about Toto Temple Deluxe is also the first thing you will notice: the presentation value is so beautifully well done. Rich and vibrant with colour, bustling with a catchy and happy tune, and featuring an ingenious interface that has you using your in-game character to navigate the settings, everything comes together in such a way that reminds you that this is a video game, and that video games are meant to be fun!

Toto Temple Deluxe comes out for the WiiU, PS4, Xbox One, and Steam. If you are looking to play something that is casual enough to pick up, but has some great fun and good depth for advanced players (mastering the platforming and overcoming level obstacles adds some well needed experience to master), Toto Temple Deluxe is the game for you. It's fun, it's crazy, and you'll undoubtedly be yelling

Might as well just cancel it.

It's 10 years too late for a BioShock film. The world of Rapture would have been perfect for a film. It's actually a good candidate for proper utilization of 3D, for increased depth rather than bullshit popping out of the screen. It could really show off the underwater city that way. But BioShock as a brand is so irrelevant these days that a film just doesn't make sense. Especially considering it would need a big budget and top notch effects to really take advantage of the IP.

i agree on the bigger budget. all the cgi they'd need for the background.

but i think it would work better as a show. a movie would be too short to establish the story

TheNamelessOne1d ago

Netflix greenlights anything, so that shows me very little faith in the project. Enough to just crap something out as they're, more and more, known to do.

We’re never getting an amazing mainline Pokémon game again are we

phoenixwing2h ago

Of course not. That's why I have tem tem because even if it's not the greatest I at least know the indie dev was trying

ZeekQuattro1h ago

Great plug for Tem Tem right there. It's not the greatest but at least they tried.... 🤣

phoenixwing20m ago

@zeek that's right it's as good or better than a pokemon game but they didn't have access to pokemon game money. So it's more of a stain on pokemon company to be in the same ballpark as them

It's time we admit that they were never really that amazing to begin with. The games have never quite reach the same level of awesomeness as the anime. Look at the last few seasons we got to wrap up Ash's adventure, and the new series. 4 lazy Switch games and a remake which was so low effort that you wouldn't be able to tell it's a remake if your weren't told beforehand. The concept of Pokemon will always be awesome, but man the games absolutely suck.
