First of all, 10/10 on the voice acting. This game made me laugh so hard, especially when I stopped and truly looked at some of the weapons we get to throw around in this game. Although the actual gameplay was very janky (sometimes the thrown objects wouldn't hit even though they looked like they did, and the final boss did not seem to be able to hurt me), there was enough ridiculousness for me to actually find this game endearing and see the jank as part of this game's charm. Critique-wise, I can only say that I didn't find this game to be particularly scary, and I wish there had been a little bit more to the ending (or even to the boss fight). I'd say the peasants were more of a challenge than the boss was. I also wish we had a joke weapon like a super-soaker or a pea-shooter to go with the projectile weapons we can pick up.
