One of the intro animations sounds hits you like a truck and disables you for a couple seconds, other than that the game's pretty good, STILL CAN'T BEAT BATMAN THOUGH.
If you're a Watchmen fan i recommend playing it otherwise I don't think you'll enjoy it.
Batman Arkham goofy aah edition
So bad I refunded it even though the bundle was only $2.
It was a nice game and by this i mean it was like a different concept then other games.
It was interesting overall...although I wish the combat was a bit more interesting and fun but the story itself was nice also because of the cartoon cutscenes which are kind off unique in video games.
GG's
Will not play this beyond 25 minutes, hopefully. Everything is bad idk how but it just is
10/10 almost bricked my pc, this is peak
I think Rorschach and Nite Owl make a great duo, the easy gameplay, with nice graphics, good music and good atmosphere make the game a nice timekiller. And it's fun to listen to Nite Owl and Rorschach debate random political shit.
I do think the gameplay itself is incredibly mediocre, it's just:
-run for a bit
-fight a bunch of pretty much the same enemies, with few fight options
-repeat 120 times
and 1 boss fight at the end. If the game was any longer it would not be fun to finish it. Actually, even these 3 hours felt like it was dragging on. But for a buck or two, if you like the characters, I'd still recomend to check it out.
The story itself is pretty basic, but it does end with a cliffhanger. So in the unlikely event you really care, I assume you get the real ending in part 2
Максимально середнячьок, жаль, що на це було витрачено таке круте IP
yeah
A poster child for the low-rent movie tie-in, a seemingly bygone era that, if this is any indication, is best left buried.
It looks the part well enough, with decent character models, some flashy Snyder-esque fighting animations and an appropriately grimy atmosphere, but it's severely undermined by the gameplay, which is so bog standard and repetitive you'll be sick of it even halfway through the roughly two hours it takes to finish as either character. The moveset is extremely limited, the enemies have about five variations and the AI, both friend and foe alike, is largely atrocious. What's worse, the breathing moments between brawls are spent on either mindless navigation or puzzles so shallow they barely qualify. A few hidden power-ups in random nooks does not make for any depth, and the simplistic plot is no incentive either. I can't even recommend this to fans of the comics or the film, because it offers them nothing.
Oh, and despite what the store page says, getting this to run properly on Deck is such a pain in the ass that it's not worth the effort - but then, it's not worth the effort of playing at all, so that's kind of moot.
feels like someone trying to rip off early rocksteady with a 5$ budget,
its okay, mostly just a beat em up type of game with an end boss. pretty short if you decide to rush it. story is on the low end of things but feasible enough to get through the game. the combat is very much repetitive and what feels like only 3 types of enemies with not a lot of variety. combos are there, just too sparse for what little amount of enemies there are. wish i could give it a mixed review as its what you would expect for something from 2009.
It's simply not that fun. The combo and fighting system is okay, but I can't bring myself to go on any further for an ending I couldn't imagine loving and feeling is substantial. It's a fun brawler, maybe worth a couple of bucks.
LOCK PICKING MINIGAME
Feels like playing a filler side story rather than a real game. The story is decent, but it's nothing memorable. Gameplay is repetitive, it's just wave after wave after wave of the same enemies all over, with poor level design and agonizingly long levels for what little do they offer.
The only good part is that playing as Rorschach was great.
I'm mostly just happy this isn't lost media. I remember when it came out for consoles years ago and never got a chance to play it. Bought parts 1 & 2 on sale for $1.99 together, which is the most anyone should be paying for this.
It's a straight-forward brawler that takes after the 2009 movie more than anything else. The combat is easy and is a little too preoccupied with animated finishers (as was the style at the time). The dialogue cribs from the comic in such a way that it just sounds like decent fan-fiction rather than fresh and authentic. It's a cash-grab, but as far as cash-grabs go, it seems to me like its heart is in the right place. In terms of Watchmen ancillary media, I'd prefer this over Before Watchmen or even the HBO series.
Bought both of them for a bit less then 2 euro. |
Nice beat m up you can play without thinking too much.
It is fun if you do not expect something special.
Very good art direction for both comic bookish cutscenes and dark more realistic style during gameplay. A mystery is brewing, but the story is very low stakes and never really gets going.
The gameplay is extremely basic. The combos are too simplistic and the animations are too repetitive. Combat encourages are constant and feel like they are trying to pad for time. This is somewhat saved by the fact that the game can be beat in less than 2.5 hours.
Feels like a lot of wasted potential considering the IP and that Arkham Asylum come out in the same year. Pass unless you like Watchmen or spamming basic combos.
Absolute dogshit
love this game, people don't give it enough credit to it. yeah its a straight forward beat em up but its got gameplay and is defiantly satisfying. if you want to turn your brain off and play with a friend, you should. cheap as chips
I'd highly recommend Gunga Diner.
Honestly a great game to sit a kid down in front of... not to play as an adult. I love this series and own the comics, figured this would be a lil bit of fun at least. Boy was I wrong. 30 minutes in and im onto chapter 2, and nothing about this is enjoyable lmao. Its almost like batman arkham games except the fighting is horrible and no one really fights back. You just spam punch, I cant even figure out the combos they just seem to happen on their own. Cool setting, cool characters, horrible gameplay. Oh well, it was worth the two dollars but I wouldnt spend more.
Even for 3 dollars this game is not worth it, the only way to have any sort of fun with this game is to not play it sober.
Watchmen is a very short-lived beat-'em up game, created as a promotional tie-in for the film. It's hard to grasp the intention behind its design, as it throws you straight into the action without much context. If you're not familiar with the comics, you won't recognize the characters, and the story leads directly into part two, which is another standalone game. I still don’t understand why these are separate titles.
The game features combos that are hard to execute, clunky movement, and a disappointing final boss fight. The enemy variety is minimal, with only three basic types, and they’re all damage sponges for the most part. Some enemies have stun moves that can easily trap you in a loop, which gets frustrating. The constant combat becomes repetitive, and you'll often find button-mashing is the most effective strategy, making the combo mechanics almost unnecessary. On the plus side, the character abilities are pretty fun, and if the game were more developed, they'd be enjoyable to use in fights.
I wouldn’t recommend playing this solo. While it supports remote play, it barely works. As the second player, I couldn’t get controller support to work, so I had to take over with keyboard and mouse while the first player used a controller.
Graphically, it resembles Batman: Arkham Asylum —it’s not bad, but it’s not great either. The visuals are decent, landing somewhere in the middle. The comic-style cutscenes are a nice touch, but for most other cutscenes—like the ones introducing enemies—by the time the scene ends, the enemies are already attacking you. Some cutscenes, such as climbing a ladder, really don’t need to be cutscenes at all.
Animations actually look alright. The executions are fun to watch, but the combat isn’t fast enough, and the game is too short, so they get recycled often. Some of the voice lines are a bit corny—landing somewhere between serious and comedic. It’s the kind of thing that might make you roll your eyes and chuckle a little, but it’s not unbearable.
If you can grab both parts for $1.99 during a sale (like 80% off), it could provide a fun couple of hours of local co-op with a friend. However, I wouldn’t recommend it in any other context.
Worth picking up on sale. Pretty short but fun, though my enjoyment also came from playing through it with friends. It's funny throwing dudes around. Still gotta play Part 2. Not very challenging, though I did die a few times due to being swarmed by enemies. Later stages of lockpicking doesn't play nice with a controller as it gets tricky to just align the pick using an analog stick.
I only recommend this is if you are a Watchman super fan or something. It is very repetitive, I ran into some glitches like how I couldn't make contact with anyone in an area and had to let my partner kill everyone. I know it's short, that's a good thing because it gets so boring fighting the 5, maybe more types of enemies the same way each time. There aren't a lot of combos so it's usually you just hitting same buttons over and over. One good thing, your AI partner does decent in this and the computer does not single you out so you can use him to your advantage to be taking on like 5 guys while you fight 1. Also story is bit lame, I'd just watch it on youtube or something and save yourself 2 hours. I did get both game for the price of a McChicken though so wasn't out much but time. I know it's 360 era and I bought it on release for that but really feels like a ps2 budget title.
I dont remember this game with so many glitches and bugs that it is practically un playable. If you play as Rorshac owl man just gets stuck or stands in one spot. Couldnt get under a door because owl man insisted on standing with garbage cans. Having to restart this game constantly to get past the non sense glitch. Pc version is absoulte GARBAGE
lowkey this game should be more its a really cool comic action type based game and tbh it was a random purchase cus the movie morale of the story get this game its so worth it and can run on pretty much any pc
Interesting but buggy game. Buy only if you're a fan of Watchmen and also if it's on discount!
Unfortunately, this is a typical game for movie, with many flaws.
in the core gameplay its a brawler, where 95% of time you fight with human-enemies.
So, negatives first-
- the game requires for you to know the movie or the comic book, otherwise you wont understand who those people are (esp. Dr. Manhattan, etc)
- the world is empty and completely static, the levels are just corridors/arenas
- enemies are too simple and require little to no strategy and adaptation
- this game implies two heroes cooperate and fight side by side, but has NONE mechanics that play around it (ofc u can name doors opening mechanic that each hero can open for his counterpart, BUT its not under the pressure for other guy)
- the plot is almost absent and exists only to make heroes to kick some bandits asses, no detective work and investigation is required
- ridiculous "boss" fight
- enemies AI is kinda bad, sometimes they lose pathing and walk away from cliffs, sometimes stuck and wait for their turn
Positives:
+ the fighting system is not bad (but it definitely not enough to hold for long)
+ it has co-op and and splitscreen
I bought this game of sheer nostalgia, because I played this game with my brother, and frankly speaking we didnt knew who Nite Owl and Rorchach were, and had fun.
Playing solo, unfortunately, wasnt.
This game is still playable guys its delicious!
This shi is hot azz from the basic ahh combat from the same finishers and also the trash voice acting its terrible i get its an older game i played when i was younger but this dose not hold up, its walk here beat up guys walk around a corner more guys that look the same no depth and there is need to split up to cover more ground if we just gonna meet up 2 seconds later. this game makes no sense and don't get me started on the 'puzzles" if you can even call them that
good beat em up game
bad combat alright graphics cool story, just watch the movie
this game is hot ahh, need an adrenaline shot to stay awake while playing. Only good part is the comic style cutscenes.
So much worse than you're imagining. Don't even get it if it's on sale for pennies (as I did). It looks and sounds fan-made and is the worst kind of beat-em-up: wave after wave of near-identical enemies all with too much health. AVOID!
man i played this game ages ago on xbox 360, i remembered playing co op and the cool brutalities. turns out my memories were heavily tinted with nostalgia and the game has not aged well lol. the "puzzles" (if you can even call them that) are extremely simplistic (except lockpicking which only appeared twice) as is combat with pretty much all enemies going down to "press [X] to finish", a single tackle or the legendary kick, kick, stomp. sometimes you can instantly finish them by throwing them over a ledge lol. i guess as a child this level of simplicity was good but its kinda boring. there are technically "dodge counters" but they're janky and don't do too much. the finishers themselfs are sort of nice and brutal enough for my child brain but theres only a few and when they're used so often they also get boring. the main characters are also hella cringe (not a problem for child me since i didn't even speak english lmao) , the only boss in game is mid and janky while the game itself is kind of buggy (almost got softlocked on first mission cus coop ai got stuck on a door and the "puzzle" of both pulling a lever at same time blocked the way). the game is also very visibly dated because its missing some core stuff like SPRINTING (whole game you just jog) or any sort of real directions (you can get lost on some levels easily if there aren't enemy corpses to show you've been here already). the game is atleast very cheap on the sale i got and short, its even spread on part 1 and 2 as 2 different games and with both lasting about 2 hours you can actually refund after finishing lmao. i think i'll just try to forget this game again and leave it burried where nostalgia actually made it a nice memory
Love this game, first time seeing something like this, love the story and game play was really fun :)
Time for part 2 :D
Decent game, like low budget Arkham Asylum. Short game but if you can get it on sale and you want to play something similar to the Batman Arkham games but with more brutality and blood then this game isn't bad. They have a double pack too with part 1 and 2. Just make sure to switch to xbox 360 controller in the settings menu if you're using an xbox one/ series s/x controller, you can still use the controller you just gotta change it in the game's settings so it works properly. The game even has two player though I didn't try it.
Initially, i came across the game on a random PC, i bought from a guy, probably 10 years ago. That was pretty much my first time seeing a cool mask and someone, who looked like a hero. It stayed in my mind and a few years back i also found it on steam. I was thinking that it would not run on windows 10, but surprisingly and thinks to steam, it did open.
Played both games already and there are some issues. Second version is almost too dull, maps are the same, enemies are the same. Pretty much nothing changes. In this game, there are 6 different chapters and the map design is different in every chapter as well as the enemies. Two other issues; 25 fps almost every time. Once someone hits me with a critical punch the whole screen almost goes 30 to 40% sideways and takes some time to fix itself. Obviously, the repeated enemies could be dull for some too, but the game is short.
Playing this game was almost like a dream for me. despite having a lot of flaws, i excuse it, because it is old. People keep comparing it to batman. I get it, they are similar in genre, but for me, this is completely different. either way, i do recommend it, if you are old enough and have come across it somewhere randomly as a kid. Stories are fine for a game this cheap, this old.
Ok, look, I will be very honest here. Watchmen: The End is Nigh is... Passable. It's not great by any means, but it is a fine decent little game, that holds up quite well even in 2024.
Why I am not recommending it then? Well, because if you are playing part 1, you're most likely playing part 2 afterwards... And oh boy...
Either way, this game even having a part 2, is unresolved, why make a part 2 if the ending will still be open? I don't get it. They just forgot the first part existed? What the hell.
classic
It's easy and just the right length not to become boring. Quite an enjoyable ride in the vein of post-2000 nostalgia. You don't have to solve dumb clues in order to advance and most "mechanisms" are basically the same so you don't have to explore needlessly.
Rorschach's social comment becomes truly silly after three rounds.
Also worked perfectly on my Linux gaming machine thanks to Proton.

Good game, fighting mechanics can be a bit cumbersome, but once the correct pattern is found pretty easy game with decent graphics.
OLED DECK REVIEW.i loved this game when it came out on xbox.so my review is based on that.classic for me.i just re purchased on oled deck and it runs like a star at 90fps.set res in system settings to 1920x1080p and everything on high including shadows.leave "windowed" box unchecked and have as much fun as possible as your gona have at best quality.my opinion of course
such an amazing little game to play! just wish there was more time to build the game from the developers and turned it into a 30 hour game that would have been awesome !
I remember playing the Demo on PS3 over, and over again because I was 9 yrs old with no money. Just as good as I remembered, have been a long time fan of the Movie and Comics. Greatly recommend this game if you love the movie & action/ combat similar to the batman games.
**HEADS UP** (I have a high end Pc). I did have to turn down some of the graphics because it was on 20-30fps when I first booted it up, now it runs at 70fps.
Something about running through a prison collecting Nite Owl / Rorshach tokens and imagining the cries of agony coming out of Alan Moore's face as he watches the continued bastardization of his work just leaves me with a warm feeling all over my insides ]. 6/10 everything is dated here but on sale for less than 10 bucks to revisit something that came out and I though just 'looked' overpriced for what it offered even by 2009 standards.
Everything here is dated, just buy the bundle on sale like I did and enjoy this lil snapshot of the "Good ol' days" before loot boxes and DEI.
Very short but just about the right amount of time. Took me 5 hours to complete. Definitely recommend if you want a short detour from games made today. Quit on a cliff hanger. Hopefully part 2 will be as good or better.
