Death God University

With all the various lists I have going on, it’s becoming fairly easy for me to fall back in to the ‘easy game’ list of which Death God University got randomly picked to be played. There are two things I wish I hadn’t done though. The first is pay real money for this piece of shit and the second is not researching this piece of shit before I subjected myself to it.

Death God University is a fairly stupid game where you play as some kind of blockheaded devil wannabe at a school where you learn how to kill people. It may as well be a stealth game though as the concept appears to be to kill these people without being seen.

The only good thing about this game is the cutscenes at the start of each of the levels and in reality, these became old after the first three levels.

So, what’s so bad about the game? Well I’ll start with the most obvious thing that will become apparent the moment you start playing. The loading times. I have a strong feeling that I spent more in-game time starring at a loading screen than actually playing the game. On top of this, the game has you visit 4 or 5 different locations during each mission and there is loading period of the same length every time you go to a new place. As soon as discovered this was going to be case, I binned off trying to figure stuff out for myself and used a guide to reduce the amount of times I had to revisit places.

If the loading screens weren’t bad enough, the gameplay itself is garbage for all the wrong reasons. The idea is not being seen but people will see you all the time for no clear reason. After a few missions, this became irritating but the last mission requires you not to be seen at all. What fucked me off massively with this though, is that there is a bit towards the end of the game where people are walking around with torches and a clear vision cone in front of them. I wasn’t in one of these cones and the character still saw me. This has to be a glitch or just the game screwing over its players deliberately.

Speaking of glitching out, I lost count of the amount of times I got stuck on scenery. One time I got stuck just walking up a ramp with no other bits protruding out that I could get stuck on. It’s absolute wank. Also getting stuck means having to restart the game and you know what that means? More loading screens.

There were more glitches throughout the game and lots of getting partially stuck on invisible walls. So to top off the loading issues, it’s badly coded which means the developers thought they could get away with releasing a game that would get by with popular culture references alone. It’s a disgrace.

Achievements – 1,000 Points – 13 Achievements

All you have to do is complete the 13 missions given to you at the school but with all of the above crap you have to go through to do this, it’s a lot harder than it sounds.

It’s impossible to recommend Death God University to anyone. It’s probably the biggest garbage fire I’ve ever played and I couldn’t uninstall it fast enough.
