    Its concepts may be familiar, and its mechanics are not best-in-class, but Marlow Briggs switches gears often, always moving forward at a breakneck tempo.

    Marlow Briggs is not a bad game, but it lacks polish and gets repetitive quickly.

    At times funny and at times not, Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death is a pretty decent action game with a serious lack of inspiration. Even with all its deficiencies it is a nice indie clone of God of War, but it could have been much more than just that.

    Marlo Briggs and the Mask of Death is an action packed, brain-dead, budget thriller and if you are looking for a cheap release for all that repressed adrenaline, you will definitely be able to find worse things to do with your money. If, however, you are looking for a challenge to your intellect or a test of your skills, look elsewhere. The only thing Marlo Briggs will challenge is your patience.

    Just great. this is one really awesome game. Fun to play, action packed, beautiful graphics, very good sound effects and soundtrack. CombatJust great. this is one really awesome game. Fun to play, action packed, beautiful graphics, very good sound effects and soundtrack. Combat system is easy to learn, but controller is highly recommended. For the price of 13.99 euros this is well done investment To bad that there is no co-op, then it would be just unbeatable comparing to some other big budget games. Keep up the good work ZootFly bring us more awesome games. Expand

    well
    the animation are pretty and the soundtrack isnt anything special
    the story isnt srs at all. the game doesnt take itself srs at all but that makes the game fun
    the combat was also pretty fun
    the controlls are ported from consoles so i would recommend a gamepad
    but its cheap and brings alot of fun

    Don’t think for a minute this isn’t a bad game, it’s a bad game that’s good, but it gets repetitive quick and it has an extremely cliché andDon’t think for a minute this isn’t a bad game, it’s a bad game that’s good, but it gets repetitive quick and it has an extremely cliché and silly story that ends up being predictable and boring.

    However!

    There are two incredible redeeming qualities to this game, first being the fact that the game is perfectly functional, and I don’t mean that in an ironic, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ way, I mean it more in the sense that the game doesn’t have any frustrating moments, no glitches, no bugs, nothing! Is pretty surprising when you think about how many games from then and today have so many annoying sequences, bugs, etc.

    As for the second redeeming quality? The game is self-aware and has a lot of humour and heart put into it; this is really the one aspect that makes the whole experience worth it and fun to play, and as such, it makes it unique too; this is one of those titles you can just pick up and play when you want to experience a “video game”; an actual fun game to play, no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stories, no demanding gameplay, just a nice run of the mill, fun, hack’n slash, video game.

    Is pretty exemplary when you really think about it, my guess is that the devs didn’t really have a big budget, but still managed with what they had, kind of assimilated it and did their best, if I were to guess.

    It also goes on sale for “dirt cheap” so it ends up being quite a steal as well.

    Nice game overall.

    Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death is nothing but a cheap imitation of God of War, Devil May Cry and the lackluster games Thor:God ofMarlow Briggs and the Mask of Death is nothing but a cheap imitation of God of War, Devil May Cry and the lackluster games Thor:God of Thunder/ Green Lantern the movie licensed games. The story starts off in a very generic way where the protagonist and his girlfriend are on vacation and then are ambushed by the main villain. What's worst is that the whole story is confusing. Gamers will ask themselves, WHO? WHAT? WHERE? WHY? The characters are generic and easily forgettable! So where do I begin. Well first off, the gameplay is a copy cat of God of War and Devil May Cry, gameplay sections are too linear, there are multiple glitches that will cause gamers to restart from the previous checkpoints, the game is way too easy, boss battles are a joke, TOO MANY QUICK TIME EVENTS during gameplay, Static images tell the story most of the time, the voice acting is laughable, the jokes are bare bones, the graphics are average and the textures are in low resolution. Oh wait I am not done, enemies range from soldiers, demons and bugs, cheap enemies towards the end of the game which will cause gamers to die a lot, leveling up in this game has no effect which makes it is an ABSOLUTE joke and the ending....SUCKS!!! There are only TWO things that this game gets right. 1. Gamers can save their game at anytime and 2. Weapon variations are very fun to use for only a few hours. (Then it gets repetitive and boring!) As Angry Joe stated in his "Thor:God of Thunder" movie licensed game review..... "It's just one of those games, where you want to break your controller because it is so @#$%^&* lazy!" Oh to put the final nail to this PIECE OF #$%^! IT IS 4 HOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUURRRRRSSS! @#$%THIS GAME!!!! Marlow Briggs sucks on both PC and Xbox 360! Zootfly/505 games should be ashamed of themselves! And people rating this game a 8,9 or 10/10... WHAT???????? Expand
