Is it a RPG? I don't know. But the tune in the trailer is very catchy.

I never understood goofy RPGs like Bard's Tale. Their "humor" is so generic and trite that it makes you stop and think why this even exists and if something is wrong with you for not enjoying it. It's so unfunny, it causes an existential crisis.

A turd falls on the guy. Queue in laughter...

 

[Gargaune]

a fantasy action adventure game filled with absurd humor

Ah, yes, finally something different.

 

[Spike]

Epic, simply epic!

I was actually thinking the opposite that maybe it's time for some comedy to spice things up. I wish for some really silly humour. It have the potential to create a good contrast to other games.

The only good comedy-focused RPGs from what I've seen are the Yakuza games, and only because those games are committed to being as silly and over the top as possible.

Comedy is probably one of the hardest things to write, and video game writers generally aren't very good writers.

this seem similar to rustler? just checked and its same publisher.

I wanted to ask about this as well, but Rustler was so forgettable that I couldn't remember its name nor even find it by googling a general description.

That Naheulbeuk game seems funny and the Codex likes it.

Maybe it's built using the foundation from Rustler?

good writers write novels and become published authors. good screenwriters make bank in the entertainment industry. bad ones can't get published and find writing jobs wherever they can, like writing for video games. it's why pretty much a disconcerting number of games have godsawful writing, because the writers suck because their fucking hacks.

 

[notpl]

"video game writer" should not be a job that anyone has and should instead be a secondary contribution after more important skills like coding and modeling

 

[lukaszek]

played the demo, it IS rustler.
If you ever wanted to play silly lotr in gta engine... this is it.

I bet creator did watch lotr extended edition recently

That Naheulbeuk game seems funny and the Codex likes it.

Codex seem to like the game but not necessarily for the humour. I only played it for a few hours (I want to continue) but for me it is a decent combat oriented CRPG with cartoony graphics and slightly cringe humour. Combat is what sells the game.

Anachronox, discussed not long ago on Codex, had some genuinely funny moments and characters but it was all an over the top comedy. One character in the party was a miniaturized planet called Democratus. Overall the humour was hit and miss but iirc more hit than miss.

I see. Anachronox sounds rad, too bad I won't get to it until I am done with a ludicrous amount of other classics to play.

looks absolutely generic

the only good thing is that movement is independent from targetting

 

[Feyd Rautha]

Dungeon of Naheulbeuk was worth playing in spite of the French attempts at comedy, though it did have a few worthwhile bits of humor:
