    Its mad sense of humour will keep you chuckling throughout, and while in the grand scheme of things it’s quite a basic concept, it’s proof that sometimes the simplest of ideas can be pretty entertaining if executed properly. Pun always intended.

    Did Angry Birds and Game of Thrones just have a baby?!?!?!

    A powerful god has chosen your as his entertainment and now your must fight    Did Angry Birds and Game of Thrones just have a baby?!?!?!

    A powerful god has chosen your as his entertainment and now your must fight until you die, and die, and die some more! Yea, that’s about it story wise so let’s jump into the action. Lichtspeer is a Polish game dev company, with a great sense of humor. Right from the get go the sarcastically matter of fact introduction, let’s you know your in for a brutally honest, laugh in your face when you die experience.

    The game play is relatively simple. You aim by moving your joystick up and down, to align your spear arch to your enemy, shooting when you have it juuuuust right.

    You also have special attacks that you use when you spear is mid-air, one splits your spears into three spears, while another can split it into tons of small arrows. Then there are defensive skills that can help you out when the enemies get a little too close.

    When aiming at your enemies your main goal is to get a head shot, this kills certain enemies in one hit instead of two. Enemies move at different speeds, some fly, and some are hella annoying red fish that jump in and out of the water until they go Hannibal Lector all over your damn face.

    Starting off relatively easy, Lichtspeer quickly ups the difficultly. Adding tons and tons of enemies at once, ranged attacks and very unique attack patterns. It can seem overwhelming at first but incredibly fun once you get your feet wet. It feels great when you're combo headshotting tons of enemies in a row, especially those big blue hipster giants!

    When I first saw Lichtspeer gameplay I was impressed by the art style but thought the game play looked lack luster. Boy was I wrong, the gameplay is great fast paced skilled shooting which keeps you on your toes and increases the difficulty to keep you growing as a player. While it’s a small game, it is certainly big in quality.
