Earth Must Die Review - Being a Space Emperor Has Never Been This Petty
"Normally, I don't mention the price when talking about games, but with Earth Must Die the £12 asking price is probably going to do more to sway you than any of my poorly chosen words might, so let's get it out of the way. That price bags you a roughly four to six hour adventure game filled with good puzzles and some snappy humour, wrapped up in some very pretty graphics."
"The opening scene sets the sci-fi stage nicely: VValak Lizardtongue is the third spawn of the Emperor of a massive space empire, and most definitely not the favourite of the three. His big, brave, heroic siblings are in line for the throne, except that a convenient rebellion allows VValak the opportunity to... er, climb the corporate ladder, so to speak. A bit of smart-assery, followed shortly by his father having a metal girder blasted through his spine,"
Earth Must Die is a four-to-six hour sci-fi point-and-click adventure available on PC, developed by Size Five Games and published by No More Robots. The game combines British humour, inventive puzzles, and polished visuals for an accessible playtime. The protagonist, VValak Lizardtongue, unexpectedly ascends his empire's throne after familial violence and must confront a mineral shortage that leads to contact with Humans and ensuing conflict. The lead character is deliberately unpleasant and refuses to carry items, allowing puzzle design without an inventory. The experience emphasizes snappy humour, clever problem solving, and concise, polished presentation.
