60 of 153 · most liked firstCan I just point out that I played this offline for a few days so Steam hasn't recorded the fact that I've actually put about 10h into this game Hmmm. I played the 1st one, out of desperation - it was the only game I had installed on my PC that I hadn't clocked, and that was unlocked - didn't need an online key for - in a week where I had no internet. It was fine, passable. It had it's flaws, but it was passable. This particular installation, however, I am sorry that it is not. I liked the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Introduction Grotesque Tactics 2 - Dungeons and Donuts is developed by Headup Games and Silent Dreams while being published by Headup Games. It is indeed a fortunate case of a sequel done right, since it improves certain areas in which its predecessor was lacking. Gameplay Just like in Evil Heroes, we have a hybrid that intertwines elements from both role play and strategy games. Outside of combat, you have an inventory system (filled with ludicrous items in tone with the game’s subplots)…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As much as I liked the first Grotesque Tactics game and recommended it, I cannot recommend this one. As a sequel it's just too unpolished. It should have been an improvement on the first game. I don't think it was. The path finding is awful. Sometimes I find the hero bouncing around between his own teammates instead of moving. It happens enough to be annoying. Uncontrolled members run off in the opposite direction and start combats. There's no way you can stop them. More annoying,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The first Grotesque Tactics was an amusing combination of Tactics and RPG with gaming satire. If you enjoyed the first, I think you will really like this one as well; it carries with it pretty much everything you may have liked and in fact improves upon the graphics, adds fully voiced dialogue (which I thought was surprisingly well done), familiar as well as new characters, new and more abilities and accessories, and lots of new places to explore and monsters to battle. Really the only thing I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fun take on RPG tropes. Quite hilarious, slightly sexist, but otherwise entertaining. Requires knowledge of many RPGs such as Final Fantasy Tactics to enjoy. Worth getting on sale.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nothing too revolutionary here, but a solid game for the price, I enjoy games that make fun of themselves.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game starts out very good and sadly gets worse over the duration. + Fun dialogues (mostly) + loveable characters + interesting combat - lots of bugs that render (side)quests unable to play - Game cant keep up with the great first hour of gaming... - Some dialogues in the game are not translated and thus produce an error. - Combat ist not challenging at all. Not dying even once during the whole game is very likely. Considering the extremley low price, this game makes for some great fun…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well....first off the bad things, then the good: The camera is sometimes very ♥♥♥♥♥♥, blocking sight, very close to the ground, while you would need it farther away and it tends to rotate needlesly. There are some heavy bugs, crashes on: loading, chat, saves, phase transition, although these bugs are rare, they still pissed me off. In 15 hours, there were about 10 of them. WAY too much for me... The controls are quite bad, SOMETIMES making aiming an game of patience. A whole ability tree is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a game that seems to lack a bit of polish, the only big problems I had were follower AI and some quests bugging out near the end of the game. But overall it was an enjoyable experience that reminded me of classic RPG's.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This tactical RPG has funny moments, a stupid story, terrible controls, boring talent tree and its... uh.. something to do, I guess. The achievements arent that hard to get with a decent guide since you can miss some of them. Erm.. Its bad at full price, good for cheap. If you have some bucks to spare and like tactical RPGs, you could get this and get it over with in 10 to 12 hours. I rate this game 3 boogers out of a nose of 8.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Grotesque Tactics 2 is a worthy successor to GT1, a game I really enjoyed because of it's humor and the fact that being a Straretgy RPG, it wasn't too hard to play at all. GT2 continues being funny, though it's not just a parody anymore, but a full fledged RPG on its own. One has to admit though that the turn-based battles may be too easy at times, but what keeps up the enjoment I had, were nice colorful characters and the fun the game made of popular RPG themse (e.g."heroes amnesia"). Of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game, I just started playing it and can't stop. I love the story and I also love the characters in th game, also I love the funny humor sayings through out the game. I probably would have not tired this game, if it was not on sale. One, being I never heard of it and second I might have not tired it out. But it is very well worth the money and it is even better if it is on sale. This is the best game I brought so far for only 2 bucks. I am very happy. The only thing I really don't…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very humorous game poking fun at all the traditional RPG cliches. Also... female armor! >=3
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Story was fun,really enjoyed it but gameplay was terrible. It was so bad that i couldnt play it any longer than this. Moving around was buggy,spell tree was small, sometimes even if i read the quest description i didnt have any clue what im supposed to do and where, fighting was weird very "indie" like,they surely didnt put lots of money and time to make this game. I could recommend this only to people that likes RPG´s with funny storyline and interesting characters and doesnt mind small…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really enjoyed the first one, which I bought on sale, so when I saw this, though the initial price a bit expensive for a light hearted parody game. Stuck it on my wish list and was delighted pick this and the third title up for pactically nothing. I did not see any of the flaws mentioned in the negative reviews. You need a developed sense of humour for this game, preferably some experience of playing classic JRPG's in the nineties or even eighties. If you like call of duty & grand theft auto,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ever thought how lol is to kill is to kill the same monsters again and again in rpgs? Why all the women want to have your main chars children and idolize u? Grotesque tactics 2 is a game that builds on those questions and more. This awesome title offers all the lol stuff u can think about while playing rgps and more. Awesome heroes, funny dialogues, great maidens and oc the usual crap u can find in any rpg game. Only downsize in this particular title is the suffering gameplay which makes this…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Improved gameplay, plus the stereotipical humor drips sardonic from your system's speakers thanks to the unexpected, yet oh so welcome, voice acting. Sure the dialogue was funny in GT1, but the voiced characters have individual personalities. Basically, if you liked or haven't played GT1, GT2 has been a fresh take on the turn-based/RPG style that seems worth $upporting. Enjoy.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →GT is back and as funny as ever. This time fully voice acted in English. Continue Cake's adventures as he sets out to save the Kingdom of Glory once again in a world filled with videogame parodies, maidens and a complete lack of fourth wall. Is Holy Avatar still there? Why of course! His semidivine Humble Self has formed his own exlusive female only guild, the Holy Avatar Fan Club. ^^ What are you waiting for? You're playing Skyrim? Pffft. Why so serious?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can't really figure out why this game got such bad reviews! I've been play RPG games for a long time and found this one to be highly entertaining! I've been a fan of the turn based style games forever and found this to be a hidden gem! Runs good even on my older and antiquated laptop and have found myself unexpectedly looking forward to playing again when I'm not! Seeing that its been more than a decade, it is improbable that any more Grotesque game will come out. Their are few cons though…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An interesting experience, let's see why.. story Not the best i've ever seen, but it is always interesting and we want to get further and further. graphics beware - this is not a game for people who only want to play with high end graphics. It has its own charme and in my opinion it's enough. The strenghs of this game are others. camera sometimes it is really frustrating and difficult to handle. it doesn't destroy the game feeling but it could definitely be much much better! combat nice…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game has some pretty funny references, nice jokes and charismatic characters, but is pestered by bugs, the battles are boring and not very challenging, and the camera view is problematic. Only recomended if you are a truly fan of turn based strategy games with nothing else to do. It could have been a great game with a little more polishing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This might be a nice game, if you can find out how to play it... There are no minimap or waypoints whatsoever, only a brief list of your tasks without any indication of where to go or who to ask. So finding the missions was more a matter of luck. Gave up after trying six hours. The turn-based combat was nice though...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is like final fantasy tactics... if you like checkerboard turnbased rpg games its pretty good.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the 2nd game is as good as the first one, BUT i think the English dub of the game is less fun than the german one (the angel rages in the german one sometimes, in the english it sounds more like "omg i don´t want to say the same thing twice, lets sound bored", the game is a german one and in the english dub, most fun parts are not funny. (i think it is the same in the 1st one) anyway, the game is fun in english and in german. BUY the 2 games if u want a realy good fun strategy/roleplay game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it's not a perfect game, but you can easily expect a fun adventure.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really enjoy this one more than the first Grotesque Tactcis game! Better graphics, cool voices for the characters(i really like Daecon)....it was a nice combination of a turn-base rpg game with a "weird" for someone sense of humor. Surely recommend it, especially if you like the first one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpVacDvaigY&index=1&list=PLUB0wzpkprFQQstHsAco7BKrFsHAzcfoj
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a pisstake of all the RPG's. A good laugh for anyone who is into them.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Compared to the first one, its not so good; although the addition of the hilarious voiceacting was awesome, the terrible pathfinding and the chaotic free'roam, just kills the game :( And yes, the donuts could not save it...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Man I really want a sequel.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hmm what to say about this? Well for starters it's a bit more of the first so if you liked that one you'll fine some pleasure in this. Things went quite well, though what I hate is I can't seem to organise the group in how they move or where they go so sometimes in battles my party either ends up spread everywhere near enemies which can be good or still several miles away which is a pain in the ass. They added a cooking mechanic which is new, unfortunately you do not cook yourself but get…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Better than the first! Some of the humor was good. The combat itself was never too challenging. AI could be stupid at times. Quite a few glitches too.. I had to reload a few times to get out of a bug. Definately a single play through game. If it's cheap and you like strategy rpg's with some humor then this game is worth checking out.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a bit on the wierd side but pretty damn funny and hijinks galore I recommend this a lot
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game... not as good as the previous in the series... still entertaining enough... good for passing time, mediocre comedy.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i know it has its bugs and gamebreaking parts but the comedy is great dispite the minor problems id reccomend this game if your more into just comedy more then a rpg the comdey makes it a really fun game :D
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →See my review for Grotesque Tactics 1. The sequel is somehow more uninspired and monotonous than the original, and this time with the added thrill of bugs galore. I consistently got stuck in combat because my character had no more action points left, but wasn't allowed to end his turn. Saving and reloading fixes the problem (though you may have to do it 3-4 times before it works), so it's not a game breaker, but it's irritating. Don't waste your time on this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really good parody of games of the era. Loads of fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Heyyo, Graphically improved for the first one is nice but the quest log is still a bit annoying and vague (especially sometimes in directions like if you missed/forgot the dialogue on how to get to the Arena? You'll have to Google it like me lol) but I'm really liking the new voiceovers and it retains much of the good humor. It's a fun turn based Isometric view RPG so anyone that are fans of that should give it a try.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →MUCH improved over the first one, with less latency, better and more easily-parsed graphics, fundamental refinements to the combat system ... and less dialogue from Holy Avatar. Just don't expect graphics like the ones in the logo; check out the store page for screenshots to get a better idea of what to expect.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a Tactics RPG, and one of the funniest ones I've played. Lots of funny gags poking fun at pop culture and other genres... lots of voice acting too to keep it fresh so far my favorite is Deacon the duel weilding black mecernary that speaks sorta ghetto... and he's afraid of spiders :D
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →if your after something tongue in cheek .. then this is the game for you!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lol this game is just sooooooooo hilarious :D
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not fun. Not funny. Not clever. Not on my hard drive anymore.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Funny Sequel to funny RPG, this was as funny as the first part. Great!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ok, the jokes are cool. The dialogues are funny, the non-sense and reference to humor is present, but... But the game isn't that moving at all. After a feel minutes, you get bored of the repetition. Also, Im pretty sure my GPU card can hold the game easily, but... Still have to turn down settings in order to flow better. Not a well developed game in a matter of video settings. And, yes my drivers are up to date.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tons of fun! I really enjoy the humor and finding that elusive doughnut.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You can’t feel totally ripped off at only $15, but you have to wonder if the quality doesn’t match that price. On the one hand, both games can be pretty funny at times, what with attempting to parody a wide variety of games and pop culture references. On the other, it often comes off as clumsy and the gameplay reflects roughly the same. There are many times where luck is valued more than skill, so regular saves are a must. I still have fun with these titles, but only in small bursts. If you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →just as fun as the first.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I enjoyed this game, I hope they make more/similar.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →THIS IS THE GREATEST DUNGEON CRAWLER OF ALL TIME!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game has good comedy. and alot of pokemon references in the beginning
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After slogging through the bug laden, but admittedly kinda funny, GT1, I breathed a sigh of relief that it was over and I finished it. I decided to hop on 2 to see if was improved. I started in a room and saw my 'loot nearby things' button was lit up so I hit it. my character rammed himself repeatedly into an npc to get to the loot but never managed to figure out how to walk around it. Clicking anywhere proved fruitless, my character happily slamming himself into the NPC for all eternity. The…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →cant talk to anybody, it was working fine for the first 3 people I talked to and thn it just stoped working for no reason. Had to restart the game to get it working again. cant save the game cant read most of the re-sized text and thats just from 10 mins of gameplay what an unfinished pile of garbage 0.1/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →God this game has even more broken movements and controls than the previous game. What a f*cking mess. 0/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really liked the first game of this title but not this one, it was bugged to hell and barely worked. I had a horrid experience trying to play it. Shortly into it I game up. Such a shame because the first was fun
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I own about 95% of the Meridian 4 catalog, and picked up GT: Evil Heroes during that package. I later purchased GT2: Dungeons and Donuts during a sale. The Background GT1 and GT2 share the premise of the player taking control of a moody sap (Drake) who overcomes personal challenges to become The Hero That Saves The World. The game is largely a parody of main-stream RPGs, with characters often throwing out asides and references to other games. The jokes are campy and are mostly of low-brow…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i play it in german and it has nice and kind of funny dialogs // maybe its a little strange, but i like it // it has a turn-based fighting system - works well enjoy ;)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Final Fantasy XIII and Arcania reference, just in one mini side quest. Awesome.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have love-hate relationship with Grotesque Tactics 2. I had many laughs while playing but most likely I'll forgot this game and never come back to it. It's not a bad game. It just a bit annoying in some parts. Like moving around. I mean it's normal to fight in a grid but why our character is still locked in them outside the battle? That makes Drake to do all kind of glithy stuff when running around. Getting used to controls take too long couse of that. The story in here are a mess too. It…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A whole new level of TERRIBLE in the escort quest technology! Avoid at all costs!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fun RPG parody-like-game (including the story and the characters). The world looks good AAAAND Sweet Violence is hot (even for a zombie). However, it's full with dumb bugs that'll probably never get fixed. Only play it if you are okay with doing annoying workarounds for extremely stupid things.
