MANOS
About
"This game will be bigger than Skyrim!” - Bill Corbett, Rifftrax/Mystery Science Theatre 3000
Remember how every film had it's own platform game adaptation? When every man, woman, child, animal and inanimate object were out to get your character? When the streets were filled with bats, ghosts and Frankenstein monsters? MANOS: Director’s Cut will take you back to the absurd adaptations of the past!
Lost on their vacation, Mike and his family have wandered the desert trying to find a place to stay, only to wind up in the mysterious Valley Lodge. Maintained by Torgo, an unusual man/satyr who "takes care of the place while The Master is away", the hotel is swimming with paranormal activity which Mike has to brave through to find his now missing family. Who is The Master, and what does he want with Mike's family? Armed with his trusty revolver, Mike will have to wander the haunted halls, venture out into the desert, uncover a dark temple and battle the forces of darkness to find out!

The best way to trolear someone who creates something bad is to do it again, but good.
Lol... And it is precisely what this little game does; As a parody is a game that is based on the worst gringo horror movie (American) existing (eye that ending the game I saw by mere curiosity in joetube... xD). > The story: Well... No idea that Bergha; Broadly: You are a father who arrives there to a house, and because your wife and daughter are "kidnapped" by a madman who adores the God "Hands" (I thought the story was meh, but so is in case in the movie).
> Gameplay: It'S A little game that looks like Castlevania old of Nientiendo, or Mario Bros but the first that was Dificilillo. With pistol instead of whip ♥ You go from a scene, you learn it Trolean, die and so until you manage to overcome all obstacles.
> The good Thing:-Unlike the movie, is a good game and medium difficulty curve. Each level gets harder than the previous one.
-You Have Life upgrades and unlockable (as characters and so, it is something worthy of acclaim for a game made of troll form)-references to style games ♥ (Mario and Castlevania) > The Bad:-The duration, you end up in maximum 1hr The game consists of 8 stages with MU Multiple bosses.
-Sometimes the hit box is very bad.
In short: Well... If you grew up playing Mario Bros and Castlevania is a game that you will enjoy xD to the contrary of the movie is good and then entertains, and has his joke to pass each boss.
(You Can see the movie in Joetube or chop it Here) [Don't worry it's not pornography or moaning, it comes in its original language]

Disclaimer: the game is a tribute adaptation of a turdists apparently "cult" because extremely bad, film which I have never heard of, and that I have good on never seen. So the nostalgia/tribute aspect is absolutely ineffective on me, and I find myself just judging the game as such.
We are here facing a retro-platformer inspired by the most generic games, platforms, enemies, a weapon, a bonus weapon on occasion, some bosses already seen and reviewed and it is weighed. Graphically, the overabundance of hideous graphic filters to make "as at the time" not only harms the game, but also likely to your score at the next ophthalmo test that you will pass so some effects are distressing. For the rest it's 8-bit without surprise, there are quite a few references in some sprites, but nothing that blows to the ceiling. The scenario sucks, but I guess that's the goal, so I don't know if we can really blame it on the game? (I'll say yes:D)
The game is not really difficult if one perils a little, but it is terribly based on old concepts of die & retry with mobs and traps placed in a really unfair way that will kill you suddenly on during your first encounter as they must be year ticipated, and let's be frank, it was already crappy game design at the time, so 20 years later it's still so unwelcome. The game is quite short, so the frustration will not be long, there are many additional modes that unlock to redo the adventure again, but how to say, we still really do not want.
Without being the worst game ever created, MANOS finally turns out to be far too mediocre to elicit interest other than the nostalgic appeal to the fans of the movie, if that's your case, it could provide you with an hour or two of fun and diving in the movie universe , but if you are like me and you don't have any idea what MANOS is, go your way without regret.
