- Psychonauts is one of my favorite games of all time, and right next to it is Brütal Legend. As quirky, fun, and joyful as it is, the fact that it even exists is incredible. And it also explains why Double Fine games afterward were a mixed bag.

- You can highlight/order multiple units, the game doesn't explain this to you for some reason (or let you do it in the battle where you get your wings either).
Fly up, hold E (keyboard)/Y (controller), select all the units you want and give them an order;
- You can upgrade your basic Tier 1 units once you reach Tier 3.
That’s amazing! But also very annoying that the game doesn’t teach you that. Thanks for highlighting those points.
I loved this game. I would love a double A game made in the universe with the same characters but different gameplay. Switch genres to something more like a god of war or something like that. The world is too good to not get anymore content from it. And jack black is one of my favorite people. Don’t think it will ever happen though. Also your videos are criminally under-viewed. You covered this game and the saboteur. Thanks for covering some games that I loved that don’t get retrospectives as much.
Great video! 👍
ah yeah
Brutal, Savage, Rekt
So... yeah, I'm gonna agree with everything you said here.
I love Brutal Legend, but after replaying it years later I can see its flaws. The world, and the worldbuilding, are absolutely amazing, and they just DRIP metal aesthetic, but the driving mechanic was incredibly clunky, and the RTS elements were all over the place. (Not to mention, those Grim Reapers in Ophelia faction are just IMBALANCED AS FUCK). Combined with the fact that the action wasnt as good as it could have been, made it quite mediocre, as a game.
As an experience, yeah, its absolutely awesome. Although the backstory is so scattered that it could give Dark Souls a run for its money, it wasnt overwhelming, and it tied together pretty well, even if we didnt manage to get a sequel, that would be inviable today, bearing in mind we lost Lemmy and... /lets just not say this very loudly but Tim Curry is kind of elderly now and he's a treasure we dont wanna lose/, well, you know.
However, the concept "spiritual successor" comes to mind. Something could be done, and tied to the original in any shape or form.
Yeah I felt really bad when I saw Curry in an interview he had in 2020. But the man is a legend. In fact, most of these people involved in the project are legendary. Like I said, it’s a wonderful timepiece that should NOT be forcibly made into a sequel. Maybe a reboot, but even then, that might be both costly and a production nightmare waiting to happen.
And yeah agreed, fuck the reapers and the organist.
As a Multiplayer player, Reapers are not unbalanced. They're pretty expensive (200 fans for 1 Reaper), the attacks are blockable, double team has super niche use (bad for dealing damage, not many times you actually want to scare enemy units instead of killing them) and if it gets into your melee range it's dead because you can stunlock it to death (this is easy to do when it's on it's way from the stage to where the action is). Anyway in the Campaign you're IronheadE, and you have access to one of the best double teams in the game at Tier 1 (Thunderhog stun) to stop it from killing your troops.
That being said, the Action and the RTS are fine. Every combo attack has it's use against the enemy avatar (unlikely to need to use them against dumb AI but against players you will) or a specific unit and I already pointed out the RTS bit in another comment.
