If you’ve played Diablo or any of its many clones you have a good idea what you’re in for here.

DeathSpank is all charm but he’s stupid and oafish too.ĭeathSpank (the game, not the man) is a fairly rudimentary RPG/ loot-em-up hybrid. Voice-work is uncannily similar to the latter man – and equally superb – and he goes about his adventures with the same degree of faux captain’s arrogance as the both of them. Having graduated from the same academy of wannabe-heroes as Captain Quark and Zapp Brannigan, DeathSpank is on a mission to find The Artifact. Luckily DeathSpank’s inability to eat crisps isn’t nearly as funny as the script guiding him through this well-paced adventure. It’s that kind of inexplicable madness – madness inherent to any Diablo-esque loot-‘em-up that I find totally, and inadvertently, hilarious. Poor DeathSpank the self proclaimed hero to the downtrodden may be on a crusade to save the world from crooning orques and poncey princes but he can’t eat a plate of hot Nachos until he’s made it to level 3.
