Reviews

Great concept, half baked and needs tweaking.	ClaudeDixon	2021-06-25	Version 1.4
I was expecting the humor to be forced and unfunny (which it is at times, such as when Zelda randomly accuses you of trying to r*pe her) but overall I'd say the humor fits in line with what you'd expect from an AVGN vid (the dialogue that plays every time you get a heart piece/container comes to mind). My 1 complaint regarding dialogue is it feels incomplete. Only some of the dialogue is altered, while most of it seems to be intact which takes away the fact this is supposed to be a parody. This hack also could've gone a long way in other areas, like having an annoying Navi-type companion (that AVGN rages at) who interrupts gameplay every 5 minutes only to tell you the most basic no-brain advice. Some re-occurring side characters from the AVGN vids would also be great. The 1HitKO from enemies is absurd, but at the same time it fits this game with the humor it's going for (the joke about the hearts wouldn't work any other way), and thank god you can still revive yourself with up to 4 backup fairies, so you're essentially getting up to 4 lives. A MAJOR criticism I have is regarding bosses/enemies that already took many hits in the base game. For instance, I feel there's no way the first boss takes just 3x more hits to kill, as it felt like 5-10x more, but even if it is 3x, it desperately needed cutting, because the fight went beyond being difficult and simply was a boring slog that even the humorous aspect couldn't justify. There should be a balance between being humorously difficult and just being boring and unfun to play. Overall, I can't recommend this hack as is, specifically due to the above issue, but it has so much potential if only it was ironed out and fleshed out more.

This hack is funny...	Googie	2020-03-18	Version 1.0
I only played a little bit of this hack, I have the AVGN Mega Man 2 hack, and both games on Steam. I laughed at the text from the little bit I played, I actually heard the AVGN's voice when reading his dialogue. My only turn off is that one hit and you're dead bit, please make another patch to return the hit points back to normal. I really wanna see the rest of the dialogue in this hack, it's not everyday we get a comedy hack. We need more AVGN hacks. :)
