Some games will be more obscure than others. I promise every game I post had a US release.
Can you guess the game ?

Brutal Legend. The main character is extremely recognizable. 🤣

So true. I have never played the game (though it has been in my Steam Library for a long long time) and instantly recognised the game from the picture.

I couldn't get into it. I'm old and having to do combos and run across maps was boring and tedious

Brutal Legend. MC voiced by Jack Black.
Had a weird RTS component that I didn’t appreciate. Otherwise a really good game.

I'd argue it didn't have an RTS component. It was an RTS that had a hack and slash component.
Godort@lemmy.ca · 10 pts · 51d
This is true, but the game's advertisements really pushed the hack and slash component over the RTS one.
I pre-ordered this game because I adored Double-Fine, and a heavy metal-themed Zelda-like starring Jack Black from the creators of Psychonauts sounded amazing. That was not what I was delivered.

Yeah the demo before release only showed the open world side, so it was quite a shock. Still decent if disjointed. Personally I could have done without the RTS part, or have it as a simpler mini game.

That’s fair. I only really made it until the RTS component started showing up and kind of drifted to another game.

Brutal Legend, one of my favorites. Loves the rts elements in it, which most seem to hate lol. But I loved the game and its story. Features Ozzy Osborne too.

Plus a villain voiced by Tim Curry!

Not surprised how quickly this one got solved ! But wanted to mix things up with a more “modern” game

Actually, no one guessed it correctly. This is in fact from the game BrĂĽtal Legend.

Ok fair point 🤣

The umlauts make it more authentic.

Please continue putting better known games from time to time, so that everyone can have a Aha moment. The obscure games are awesome as well, but I haven't known a single one of them XD
Johanno@feddit.org · 8 pts · 50d
Oh I know that one.
You can see Jack Black as a character from behind.
The game is called BrĂĽtal Legends.
Heavy metal through and through.

Damn, can you stop making me feel old?

The only reason I know Double Fine. To this day I don't get why they're generally known for Psychonauts over this.
HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 51d
That game was so much fun. Tim Curry as the big-bad. So much fun.

I really like paychonauts (which my phone keeps trying to correct to psycho nuts). How’s this? I’ve always thought I should play it. I did not know until this thread that it has rts elements. I like rts games.

I would compare the game play to Overlord if you’ve played that one. But it moves a lot faster.

It's fun and has its moments. I haven't played it in probably 10-15 years though. But I'm the same as you, Psychonauts was my childhood game and the sequel is a masterpiece.

It's hilarious. I don't even really like that genre of music and still found it hilarious. The gameplay catches people off guard because it's a peculiar mix of RTS and third person action hack/slash.

Loved this game, the gameplay was OK, but the sound track and cameos were the absolute best.

Love this game. Xbox 360 classic!
