The developers have already promised to fix it with a patch though. They get really tough, so make sure to bring a co-op partner or three.Īt present, the Achievement for finding all 55 relics is glitched. You’ll need to get both the good and bad ending of the game as well as playing through the unlockable harder difficulties. Each character has a specific Achievement associated with his or her abilities, though the Achievement descriptions annoyingly don’t name the character. AchievementsĬharlie Murder is a long game, and its Achievements add a lot of replay value as well. Performance on the music minigame doesn’t even affect progress in the game, so I eventually stopped trying.

Each player must try to hit a series of buttons that scroll by non-stop and ridiculously fast. Music rhythm games played on a controller CAN be fun, but unfortunately this one is terrible. Players will actually “perform” some of these songs in a minigame meant to simulate playing in a band. Ska Studios sells the soundtrack at Bandcamp and on vinyl. The tattoo shops you’ll visit even have a humorous Grand Theft Auto-like in-game radio station playing in the background.
Well, that song and new ones return in Charlie Murder. The abundance of jokes and references to other games like Castlevania, Silent Hill, and Dust: an Elysian Tale largely makes up for the mopey colors anyway.Īnyone who’s played Zombies on the Phone should remember that game’s crazy lyrical rock ballad. I could do without the drab color palette that always drowns the studio’s visuals, but at least it’s appropriate for the game’s subject matter. The actual art style is very distinct and perfectly evokes the musical culture influences seen in other Ska games like Zombies on the Phone. Fight for your lifeĬharlie Murder has no shortage of personality. Before long you’ll have more than enough money to afford limitless quantities of snacks and clothing, but for better or worse the developers have limited how much you can boost your stats at any given time. Scarf some grub and it will replenish HP and maybe provide permanent stat boosts. Many sell either eat-in or carry-out foodstuffs. The Scott Pilgrim/ River City Ransom feeling I allude to earlier comes in part from those shops you’ll visit. Players who want to look a certain way but get the best stat bonuses can change an item’s appearance via dye items, but the process is more cumbersome than necessary. These wearable goods don’t just provide stat bonuses they also change your character’s appearance. You’ll get them as drops from enemies or purchase them in shops.
Speaking of equipping things, Charlie Murder boasts a staggering quantity of head, body, and hand clothing for players to wear. There are also six tattoos to collect across your journey, each of which can be equipped to perform offensive or defensive magic attacks. Not only are there five ‘Smockula’ parts to find and equip in order to get the good ending, but the game has a total of 55 unique relics to discover. Taking the road less traveled and defeating a gruesome boss usually nets you a unique relic to equip for stat bonuses. Charlie Murder’s many levels often branch off into little side paths for players to explore.
