Delve into the real Renaissance paintings by world-renowned artists and experience them with a meme-like twist. The game is truly genius with the dialogues and their unconventional gameplay. The entire concept seems very inspired and fresh. The game is totally different from all the other games that have been released this year. It follows people from a Reannaisance Europe. I mean we probably have the same thoughts when we look at these works of art. It’s like our internal dialogue has come alive on the screen. Discover the entire game in this Death of the Reprobate blog.
Overview of Death of the Reprobate
The game follows our Protagonist Interim King Malcolm who has to fulfill his father, Immortal John’s wish. Do you think you’ve set out to do this? Well, his wish could be anything. The game supports 2D gameplay through different popular portraits and paintings from Renaissance Europe. You will probably recognise some of these pieces like the Story of Ophelia. The game is perfectly humorous. It assures a good time for anyone who decides to play.
The Characters
The main three characters that caught my attention in the game are:
- Immortal John: The actual king in the game, Immortal John is on his last leg of death. Another man from a famous painting, Immortal John is one of the funniest characters in the game.
- Interim King: Malcolm “A piece of Shit”, is the interim King until Immortal John is alive. Really humorous, you meet him for the first time in the beginning when he’s granting the villagers their punishments.
- Lenny: The best side character to our protagonist, the Interim King. Lenny is just there existing to support him and his decisions. With the most hilarious one-liners, this woman was the best decision for a side character.
The Core Gameplay
The core gameplay of Death of the Reprobate is pretty simple. There is no confusion at all. In fact, the game also has clear instructions on what to do and where to go. Other than this, the dialogue and characters are quite funny and will keep you entertained for a long time. Trust us, you won’t expect what’s coming your way when you see the dialogue. If you think they can’t get worse, they do.
Unique Features of the Game
Several features of Death of the Reprobate make it unique, they are:
- Pointing and Clicking: The game is pretty simple with its click-and-point gameplay. There are many “verb coins” you can use. The game physically shows you a hand to follow it. Other than this, there is an inventory you can easily access with the drag-and-drop feature.
- Renaissance Artwork: The best thing about the game is that you get to revisit all the original Renaissance paintings with a new perspective. All the paintings will be available for you in one place in a consistent game. It is a beautiful and humorous journey.
- Classical Music: The music in Death of the Reprobate is by Eduardo Antonello. With classic beats of classical music and humor, the soundtracks fit the scenes perfectly.
- Standalone Story: This game is a standalone game but has some characters that can be seen from the other two games. The developers reused the same setting and characters for this game as well, however, you can also play this as a stand-alone.
- Highbrow Buffoonery: The game treats the very serious tops with gleeful flippancy. To put it in better terms, the puzzles in the game are quite consistently smart and require intelligence. However, there are a lot of jokes about butts.
Platform Availability
Death of the Reprobate is available on the following platforms:
- PC
- Steam Deck
Why Should You Play It?
We only have one word for why you should play this game: The Humor. It’s the best and probably the worst part of the game. Even though the game is quite interesting and fresh, it could get boring after a while. The gameplay is pretty simple except for the puzzles, they require you to actually lock in and think. A great trip down a major historical revolution, the Renaissance, this game captures it perfectly. It also voices out the thoughts that most of us have while we admire these paintings in museums.
