    A clunky combat system, misdirected humour, and stale repetitive gameplay are just a few things that will likely diminish any amount of enjoyment that you may be able to draw from this sadly mediocre effort.

    When Batman Meets Shrek
    Masquarade The Baubles of Doom is a 3D action platformer where you play as a jester…
    These clowns how stolen your girlfriend cause shes got the map to the most coveted balls in all the land..
    and its up to you to get her back and stop the big nose from getting his hands on those balls.
    This game is hilarious at times.. both in cutscenes, as well as in the game world..
    Unfortunately, the humor is the only good about this game..
    This is an Arkham Style beat em up mixed with platforming
    you attack enemies with square, counter with triangle.. jump with x and pull off a super move with circle..
    when you defeat an enemy they drop their clown nose..
    collecting noses unlocks more powerful super moves
    this sounds fine.. but the controls in this game are way too floaty..
    leading combat to feel unresponsive and therefore completely unsatisfying..
    it feels like theres a delay.. almost like youre playing off of a stream…
    This can lead to some pretty frustrating encounters..
    But noo as frustrating as the platforming can be..
    Again, the platforming feels floaty and awkward…
    you never have a true sense of your characters weight, making some sections seem almost unplayable…
    While Masquarade the baubles of doom has a hint of charm and I didn’t exactly regret playing through the 3 hour story to get to the sequel baiting ending
    you wont be missing all too much if you decide to just forget about it
    I give Masquarade: The Baubles of Doom a 5.5/10    … Full Review »

    I freaking LOVE this game, and there are a ton of reasons why. The combat is awesome if you can get the hang of it, which is more like aI freaking LOVE this game, and there are a ton of reasons why. The combat is awesome if you can get the hang of it, which is more like a jackie chan movie type movement as opposed to like a Dynasty Warriors style where you just swing away and enemies fall. Countering an enemy's attack is made easy by an indicator by their heads showing when you can counter. Visuals are awesome. Think Battleborn or Gigantic but more cartoony. The humor is goof ball, stupid humor, but it's funny and appreciated. There is a kill cam like in Syrim, Fallout 3, and Fallout 4, which is awesome. Your character is a jester and while most of his combat is normal, he does have one part of his combo sometimes where he jumps into the air and slams the enemy in the face with his butt. You add to this a slow motion kill cam and the edge of a cliff, and the result is hilarious satisfying game play. Enemy minions often spawn from outhouses and literally come out of the hole where the poop goes, ya know, like, porta potties from 100 years ago? lol Which is goofy, but then when you repeatedly see the same minions taking a crap into one of those outhouses, into the same hole that you see them pop out of, that was pretty freakin entertaining when I realized that. The game is cheap and amazing. I love it.… Full Review »
