BURLY MEN AT SEA FULL

You play as storyteller and wayfinder, shaping a custom tale that begins again where it ends.īRANCHING STORY: Play through multiple choice-driven adventures, each designed to be completed in a single sitting.

With gameplay halfway between a visual novel and a point-and-click adventure, the branching story carries its ungainly heroes into waters where lurk creatures from Scandinavian folklore and other misadventures.

The writing is of a high quality and as an interactive story it’s hard to fault it except for its short length. A lot of the story elements come straight from Scandinavian folklore, and for people like me (who have zero knowledge of such things) Burly Men becomes an interesting look at another culture’s history and traditions.īurly Men at Sea is a relaxing and audiovisually pleasing indie adventure that tells a grand tale on a small scale. The handmade animations give the game a storybook-like aesthetic as well, which adds to the atmosphere. Price-conscious gamers might want to hold off until a sale hits.ĭisregarding the long term replay value (because in the short term, it’s a lot of fun to see the different directions the story can take), Burly Men at Sea is a wonderfully charming, almost fairytale-like adventure tale. Of course this holds true for any game, but in this case the game’s short length becomes a consideration when you look at the price tag for the game. Of course, the more you replay the game, the less it holds your attention as you see more and more repetition.

A full playthrough is surprisingly short, but that works well for a system like the Vita and you always have some replay value due to the branching storylines that the game uses – each route through the adventure resulting in a different story. Gameplay, just as in It’s Spring Again, is limited – with the narrative element coming first and your main way of interacting with it being a few multiple choice moments along the way. Of course that’s a children’s title and as such geared to a completely different audience, but it’s visual and auditory charm is just as enchanting as Brain&Brain’s little game about three bearded gentlemen who weave their way through several possible storylines all relating to Scandinavian folklore.

I found Burly Men at Sea actually somewhat similar to another Vita title I recently looked at: It’s Spring Again by Sometimes You. Low on traditional gameplay but high on story and charm, Burly Men at Sea is an interactive tale that we’re reviewing on the Playstation Vita.
