    I have to say this game impressed me, but not for its originality, as there isn't any, it's really a God of War/Dante's Inferno/Devil May Cry Rip off, and I knew that from the beginning, but for such a cheap game it's a ton of fun! I thought i would drop it after an hour or so, but it just kept on entertaining my cousin and I so that we couldn't stop playing it for hours and hours.

Yes, it's easy; yes, it has some design flaws, but none actually game breaking, it's just that cheap game that will deliver on cheap fun and easy gamer score and is a serious contender for guilty pleasure of the moment.

    Es un juego deficiente en muchos aspectos, no obstante cumple con su cometido de entretener y puede llegar a ser divertido, recomendado si lo encuentran rebajado

    An underrated masterpiece. Most modern games wish they were this good. It’s good that we have a game so young yet so beautiful. I can’t believe there are 3 ultra instincts. I don’t wanna be voicing spoilers or nuthin but you’re neva gonna guess the voice of the mask of death YES that’s right @sdwelleart himself.

I don’t wanna be voicing spoilers or nuthin but you’re neva gonna guess the voice of the mask of death YES that’s right @sdwelleart himself. (He’s a celebrity look it up on insta for proof) Mako Tsunami, known as Ryota Kajiki in the manga and Japanese versions, is a fisherman who wants to become the greatest fisherman ever in honor of his father, who died on a shipwreck (in the dub, Mako is searching for his long-lost father, who survived the shipwreck, indicated by a missing lifeboat). He uses mostly WATER-based cards in his Duel Monsters Deck. He came third in the Regional Duel Monsters Championship (Japanese National Duel Monsters Championship in the Japanese version).

    I’ve never played this game, I got it for free. LEGALLY. It was on games with gold on the Xbox one. My buddy LQ likes it tho so imma represent him cuz he’s a real G.


    Mako's first appearance is in the Duelist Kingdom arc, where he Duels Yugi Muto in a battleground near the sea. Due to the fact that his side of the field was water, all of his monsters gained power bonuses and they were able to hide themselves from attack. Therefore, Mako's monsters were able to devastate Yugi's monsters until Yugi played "Full Moon" to increase the ATK of his "Silver Fang". From here, he shattered the moon with "Giant Solder of Stone", draining the sea and exposing Mako's monsters. Then he played "Curse of Dragon" which in combination with the "Burning Land" card, incinerated Mako's monsters and won Yugi the Duel.

    His next appearance in the series is during the Battle City arc. It showed him trying to catch fish in the killer whale tank at Domino City Aquarium, where he was chewed out by the Domino City Aquarium worker, the killer whale's trainer. When the worker was too ill to perform the scheduled show, Mako volunteered to take her place, due to his bond with all sea creatures.

    He was found at the show by Joey Wheeler who he Duels to determine which one of them will go to the playoffs. Using the Field Magic Card "Umi", Mako gains offensive and defensive bonuses for his monsters as well as hiding them. Eventually, Mako calls forth his "The Legendary Fisherman", who is immune to Magic Cards and monster assaults as long as "Umi" is on the field. To Mako, "The Legendary Fisherman" is the embodiment of his father and also what he aspires to be in life. Mako then Summons "Fortress Whale", whose power allows him to dominate the field. Joey eventually uses "Panther Warrior" in conjunction with the Equip Magic Card "Lightning Blade" in order to weaken the "Fortress Whale" as well as increase the power of the "Panther Warrior". Mako then used his "Legendary Fisherman" as a shield to protect his Life Points but with the removal of "Umi" via Joey's "Giant Trunade", it was easily destroyed, winning Joey the Duel. Joey won his "Fortress Whale", and Mako gave his "The Legendary Fisherman" to Joey as well to thank Joey. This is Mako's final Duel in the series. Mako was also the only Duelist Joey faced in tournament apart from Seto Kaiba that didn't cheat or twist the game to their own will.

    Mako is shortly seen along with the rest of the Duelists during the semifinal match between Seto Kaiba and Yugi Muto, in which he marvels at the power of the Egyptian Gods "Obelisk the Tormentor" and "Slifer the Sky Dragon".

    This is a game that could have badly used more polish. Still, it does many things I like, and if Zootfly brings this hero back for another colorful adventure, I'd be willing to give him a second chance.

    Marlow Briggs and the Mask of the Death is an honest hack'n slash game with varied action and nice combat system. What it lacks in style and in the technical department is fully compensated for by the overall quality of the action.

    Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death is just a fast paced action game, full of no-sense situations and very very funny to play.
