Usually a movie tie-in games will just simply follow plot of the movie but this game is a prequel and takes place before events of the movie.. so the plot is fresh and new
Also this game has charms to its combat. I like how you see combo inputs popping up on screen once executed successfully.
We need more watchmen games please
Can't recommend this game. It is too basic, boring, short and just feels cheap with a lot of reused assets. Maybe if you are feeling nostalgic or back when it was released the standards were lower, and it could have been fun for a kid, but this, this is not worth your time right now.
I picked up "Watchmen: The End Is Nigh Part 1" after playing the second part, and I’m glad I did. I’ve played a bit of the first game, and it’s pretty cool so far—especially the first scene. The design is very crisp, and it looks great, with fight mechanics just like the second part. The atmosphere is intense, with crime and terror running rampant in the streets, and brutal gangs lurking in alleys, rooftops, and sewers. Underboss’s prison escape adds a dark, menacing vibe, making this a gritty experience for any action fan. GG.
lock-picking with a mouse and keyboard is atrocious, and the game-play is short (less then 4h) and kind of repetitive, but it was is nice remainder of Watchmen
Great introduction to Watchmen, the cons is too short for the story.
This is just part 1. As a standalone game, it's about 3 hours long. Technically you could play the full game as Rorschach or as Nite Owl separately but it's not worth it. The game is very repetitive, no real diversity in enemies and the combat is simply fast punch, slow punch or dodge, very simple. It's a promotional game, what is there to expect.
im jankman, hear my ragdolls in the dead of night. and fear my cape, for it glitches tf out!
Good game to turn your brain off, good story. good combat
I'm probably gonna play it but it's not that much of a good game. Even for a game released in 2009 it feels a bit dated. I wouldn't have bought if it weren't with a huge discount. Not worth much in my opinion. There are better games out there. Save your money.
Its outdated clunky and boring. only its built in coop has any redeemable merit.
simple but fun.
This is a tough call. In 2024 this is a fifteen year old game - and it's far below current expectations.
The game is effectively a series of fights broken up by comic story pages. There's very little dialogue but what there is feels faithful to the comic book characters.
A huge amount of the game takes place in very dark places - which shouldn't be a problem for Nite Owl but it is. Also the maps are poor with a lot of re-utilisation of assets such that I thought I was retracing my steps when I wasn't. It's also short - other than replaying as the other character 4.5 hours is what you get.
Also the game can be cheesed by running away and letting your partner take the brunt of the attacks and then running back in and attacking foes from behind. Master dodge to survive later stages when few enemy can be thrown.
Considering this game's contemporaries were Grand Theft Auto Vice City, Bully, Gears of War and Prey I think we can safely say a longer game with more varied gameplay would have been achievable.
The poor graphics and the limited gameplay probably mean in 2024 even at a discount price you should expect better but Watchmen superfans and those that like (very) old school fighting games might find something to enjoy.
I've just checked. Batman Arkham Asylum was released in 2009 too and that game is light years better than this one. Can't recommend. Sorry.
S.x.
IDK, this feels like a shitty Arkham ripoff, 5 mins in and I'm unimpressed with the combat. I regret waiting 15 years to play this.
I liked it!
this shit kinda heat :)
I Love Rorschach.
The Combat is fuckin awesome and the story wasn't bad
Nite Owls AI was trash and I Hate Lock Picking
Great Game... 8/10 - A Classic Hidden Gem
amazing game !
had to play it twice cause im lonely and dont have anyone to play the other hero
Lego Batman but rated R
hidden gem
Muh childhood
not bad, i enjoyed it ;)
basically Batman Arkham Origins on a budget
the gameplay is pretty repetitive, but it's a charming little game nonetheless
A low quality game in every aspects.
This very short game feels like a DLC of some other game. At the start you are catapulted in a random investigation of this 2 super heroes, without any presentation of the 2 protagonists nor of the enemies, nor of the environment you will be playing in.
Audio is terrible, the graphics is outdated. The gameplay is very basic. This is a minimalistic beat'them'up. There are some combos you acquire over time and the same 3 types of enemies. It's important to say that this game is shallow, empty, repetitive. Most of the times it's fairly easy until the last boss who increases the difficulty a bit. You punch and kick large groups of enemies, then you have some platforming and running to do, and again you punch and kick enemies. There are combos but in this game enemies can hit you and stun you while you do combos, and since you are always surrounded by enemies the only obvious tactic is to always use block and counterattack until you have thinned the hordes, so you can then start using offensive moves and combos.
Usually in beat'them'ups you can use the environment, like throwing chairs, throwing trash cans, using pipes, or similar interactive elements, but not in this game.
The camera movement is not done well.
It's difficult to present how empty this game is. It's obviously made only for fans of DC Comics and fans of the movie Watchman, but I'm sure even for them this is too short and void of any real quality.
If you are having controller issues,
Then just go to settings-controller and from there, set Player 1 to "XBOX 360 CONTROLLER 1" and for Player 2 "XBOX 360 CONTROLLER 2", if you play co-op with a friend, which I recommend.
Look I have deep nostalgia for the PS3/360 era of gaming and I try to collect every game from back then. Watchmen is a game I never expected to play again in my life, until I saw it for 3 euros on Steam. I'm not even sure when they added the game, since I though it was delisted. Counting Part 2, it's a 3-4hr game and I had a lot of fun playing it with a partner. The levels are aesthetically pleasing and the combat has tons of animations to keep things interesting. Some reviews mention that the game is repetitive, which it is, but it also would be a problem if the game was 8, 10, or 20hrs, not 3. Come on, people, stop bitching for everything.
Watchmen (the graphic novel) is masterpiece and it doesn't work the same outside of that medium, but at the very least, the game tries to add more color to the screen than the movie ever did, from which this game is the direct adaptation.
Just buy it on sale, it's fun, I promise.
already better than terminator resistance and dragonball fighter Z and it is way cheaper than those games, even without it being on special and you can play 2 players If you have 2 controller, repetitive abit like sleeping dogs
good old games
i disagree with people on here saying the combat feels good , the way the camera moves around is kinda nauseating and the combat itself feels incredible sluggish. I like the presentation of the cutscenes , but when the focus of the games on combat that doesnt help much . But its cheap as fuck and short so i guess if youre really into watchmen then it could be worth it to you but if youre looking for a tight well made action game this aint it
Edit : if youre on here around when i posted this just gonna say yakuza 3 is like 7 buck AU , much more up my alley combat wise and might be for you too
It's not that bad to begin with but then you can't progress unless you have someone else local?? guess I'm not finding out how it ends because I have no one to play with
bald guys are bad guys
It's a good game, nice story. but be aware the gameplay repeating itself.
The city's afraid of me...
You can play as one of two characters with an option to play local co-op with a friend or family member. Both characters have a different fighting style which gives the game some replay-ability even if it would probably be just 2 runs. The game is short, consisting of only 6 chapters. For the cost of $5 CAD, it's worth the money. I got this game on sale for 70% off but I'd still say $5 isn't bad for a short game that you don't have to sink hours upon hours on, especially when you don't have that kind of time.
it is pretty funny been Rorschach and throwing c**t's off the floor railings and watching them drop a few stories.
The first time I tried to get this game to run it wouldn't even start.
fun azz time
This game is still pretty good. I've played this when it was on Xbox360. It's great how the combat moves in this game. It's a small story, but its to the point. If you can, you should get the bundle on here.
Good combat, good visuals.
Play as the racist or Knock off batman
A game that's a bit of a mixed bag, but ultimately a wild ride worth taking. As a fan of the Watchmen universe, I was excited to dive into this action-packed beat-em-up, and for the most part, I wasn't disappointed.
First off, the combat is where the game truly shines. The fighting mechanics are satisfying, with a nice balance of button-mashing and strategy. Taking down thugs as Rorschach or Nite Owl is a blast, and the game's dark, gritty atmosphere really adds to the overall experience.
The story, while not particularly original, is engaging enough to keep you invested in the characters and their struggles. The voice acting is top-notch, with Patrick Wilson and Jackie Earle Haley reprising their roles from the film. It's great to see these characters come to life in a new way.
Now, onto the not-so-great stuff. The game's graphics and sound design are a bit dated, even for a 2009 release. The levels can feel a bit repetitive, and the platforming sections are sometimes frustratingly clunky.
Despite these flaws, I'd still recommend Watchmen: The End is Nigh to fans of the series or action games in general. It's a fun, if imperfect, romp through the Watchmen universe, and the combat is definitely worth experiencing. Just don't expect a masterpiece, and you'll be golden.
Overall, I'd give Watchmen: The End is Nigh 3.5 out of 5 stars. It's not a must-play, but it's a solid way to spend a few hours if you're in the mood for some old-school beat-em-up action.
it was fun 7/10
Watchmen: The End is Nigh

quick and fun beat em up, worth the 5 bucks
Are you looking for simple beat'em up? Here it is. There is only 1 boss fight at the end and there is nothing special about it, few types of enemies to kick, but the game is still enjoyable if you want to play simple beat'em up
This is a great little Watchman beat em up! If yo want my full review go to Quora and check out Bucket List Game Reviews or BLGR for the full breakdown!
A little one-note but a competent and satisfying beat em up with the excellent art direction and entertaining protagonists. The combat is all mo-cap so it feels very visceral and weighty.
At this price, it's really worth it especially if you're playing with a friend; It's only like 2 hours long, any longer and the game would've overstayed its welcome.
As far as movie tie-in games go, this game is good. The combat is no Arkham Asylum, but it is well put together and feels grounded to the characters. The outside aesthetic is beautiful, mostly in the first 3 chapters. It has the puddles and rain that seem impressive for its age. Of course, this game was on a tight budget, so all of the cut scenes are 2D animated, but it gets the job done for what the game is. I got this game completed in 3 hours, so trying this game out really isn't a waste of your time, doesn't take much away from you. Although I never played as Nite Owl, I assume he controls just as good if not better than Rorschach. The final boss battle drags, having you chase the final and only boss up a construction sight for about 5 minutes, with goons to makes it even longer. Suprisingly though, once you actually get to the final fight, it is quite decent, it has you physically throwing goons at the boss to knock him off of a metal container, and once he comes off, you just beat him up the ol' fashioned way, make no mistake though, he does pack quite a punch so do be careful. This is worth your money. Especially on sale, I got the bundle for only $2.
wonderful little beat 'em up
A short beat-em-up game that's fun for Watchmen fans. The graphics were pretty nice, ran flawless in 1440p, 165hz, played with an xbox controller, 0 issues.
Each level had their own enemies that were just slight variations.
The fighting controls are simple, but still gave you plenty of options and it felt weighty.
Throwing enemies is fun and OP.
X + RB is your friend.
The last boss was kinda tedious.
8/10 - I'm a Watchmen fan so this was cool. The voice acting from Rorscach and Nite Owl is really nice. Sure, it's simple, very short and repetitive, but you have to realise that this game was initially made for xbox live arcade as a very cheap budget title to act as promo for the movie. I got this game (and Part 2) for £2 and for that price, you can't go wrong.
combat is not as brutal and viscerous as the movie, doesn't make justice to rorschach infamous cruelty.
