Review Summary: pizzamachine has left the party

So my friend gifted me this game, too late for Christmas but whatever. Dethmask, Pt. 2, huh, weird title. Anyway, I played the game and these are my thoughts.

The developers went for a futuristic look here to separate themselves, but it’s so basic it just stinks. The soundtrack is also annoying, with the same headache inducing electronics and alien noises from the first game. There’s industrial music inspiration, and definitely some inspiration from Machine Girl, but inspiration can only go so far. Lone Exo was a pretty cool instrumental track I guess, but I’d rather listen to Machine Girl.

I find this game INCREDIBLY generic. This isn’t an original game at all, it’s just a clone of Brand of Sacrifice but worse. The whole sci-fi aspect is obnoxious and ugly, and I haven’t even touched the gameplay itself.

The game and soundtrack steal so many ideas from other developers that I’m calling it plagiarism. They wanted to make a game as brutal as possible, like DOOM but bloodier and grosser. I mean entrails are going everywhere like fireworks, and the blood spill from enemies is basically endless until it’s not fun anymore. It’s so damn repetitive crushing enemies until massive pools of blood form, but that’s all there is in the game, and it’s disgusting. This is what Hell must be like.

In conclusion, the game kinda sucks. It’s not terrible, but I’d definitely not recommend it to anyone. You can get the same enjoyment from old games, games that are actually fun. The original game is also much better. This game instead is a giant slog, with beasts screaming at you at top volume the entire time, and it makes me want to stab my ears out. No thank you.

Conclusion: 2.5/5 (I’m being generous)

I'm not sure when I'll get around to checking this out but having not been super impressed by Oni and my growing general distaste for this style of metalcore, I'm not sure that I'm expecting much.

this band knows exactly what they're going for and they lean into it hard. i think this is meant to be enjoyed at face value for what it is - cheesy, over the top heaviness aka fun gym music

This is on par with everything else they've released. Great for mindless headbanging while working. Groovy djunz

This is good, but Oni is still superior

I like the peaceful Sewerslvt and Machine Girl inspired tracks

It might wear out on me overtime, I listened to it again and some of the songs just don't have the same satisfaction

I know Pikazilla is probably going to rate this album a 2, but I might be wrong
