Nice God Grove by LimboLane
I knew I’d fall in love with the quirky ambiance and characters in Nice God Grove inside the first 5 minutes of gameplay. The whimsical dialogue and visible montage of 2D and 3D environments charmed me off my toes.
Your encounters are so lighthearted and comedic your encounters, you don’t even understand that your objective is delaying the tip of the world.
Developed by LimboLane, Nice God Grove’s eccentricity works on all ranges of gameplay mechanics. You tackle the function of the Godpoke: the assistant to the gods.
Communication Breakdown
Because the Godpoke, you’re geared up with the Megapon, a tool capable of eat a hodge-podge of dialog bits and objects. Whereas the target isn’t made clear instantly, I spotted after floundering a bit that I wanted to eject sure phrases out of the Megapon to particular characters to flourish because the Godpoke.
For some weird motive, the destined ruler of the gods, King, has misplaced his marbles. He’s insensitive and erratic, and the opposite gods are completely distraught. Exposing the historical past of the titular grove and using it to harmonize the world turns into prime precedence for the Godpoke.
The artistic narrative methodology doesn’t disappoint. Some riddles are extra elementary than others, however rewarding nonetheless. Blasting pumpkins at frenemies or scary different gods – and actually stealing phrases from their mouths – furnishes the trail to uncloaking King’s intentions.
Wordy Absurdity
Amusingly sufficient, you possibly can expel vacuumed dialogue at anybody lingering across the grove. Some develop into fairly upset when you say the improper factor, whereas others are merely baffled. Generally you’re requested to acknowledge a query by shifting the digital camera up (for sure) and down (for no). Responding incorrectly is at all times a hoot, simply to listen to one more peculiar response.
The absurdly pleasant in-game communication by means of comical sound results blends harmoniously with Nice God Grove’s ambiance. Admittedly, although, the wacky noises could be irritating at instances.
The Verdict:
Nice God Grove is a novel standalone within the online game universe. An abundance of affection and persistence had been poured into its creation, exemplified by the vibrancy in every atmosphere, character, and piece of dialogue.
It’s so splendidly foolish, you possibly can’t assist however lose sight of actuality within the grove.
