A "light" RPG with a healthy dose of humor, Escape from Hell is based on an
interesting premise: you are a typical guy who's one day mysteriously "zapped" into
Hell. And now you must find a way out alive. Talk to lots of Hellish creatures, see
inventive tortures and why, aside from the apologetic note in Hell's phone booth,
your guardian angel never shows up. Gameplay is standard top-down RPG fare, with
simplified statistics and a good amount of adventure-style puzzle solving. The
designer missed no opportunity in poking fun of Biblical references and pop culture:
everything from weapon choices, non-player characters, and location descriptions in
the game are tongue-in-cheek and some are flat-out funny. Highly recommended for
anyone wanting to try a good RPG parody, but don't be fooled by the simplified
statistics though: the game will take you quite a while to finish. |
