    It's a casual beat-em-up with floaty controls, pseudo-RPG character customisation, and a boring comedy plot. It reminded me of Deathspank but without the "witty" writing. The fights are hugely repetitive, the enemies are palette-swapped every so often but there are only ever a limited number of them on screen and their attack and movement patterns are easy and dull.

The fights are hugely repetitive, the enemies are palette-swapped every so often but there are only ever a limited number of them on screen and their attack and movement patterns are easy and dull. There are only 5 buttons and it's incredibly, ridiculously easy to go flying into chasms by pressing L, L to do a charge attack.

    The last Hexage title is unexpectedly original. It is able not only to decline precisely and clean scrolling beat em up dynamics, but to mix them with a (unexpected) sprinkling of shoot'em up and a very simple but solid GDR structure. Absolutely worth the free try since level 10.

    Reaper - Tale of a Pale Swordsman does nothing revolutionary, but it does everything pretty well. It's a simple, fun, good looking action RPG, full of quests, weapons and items for you to unlock.
