Broken Age

released on Jan 28, 2014

Broken Age is a point-and-click adventure telling the stories of a young boy and girl leading parallel lives. The girl has been chosen by her village to be sacrificed to a terrible monster--but she decides to fight back. Meanwhile, a boy on a spaceship is living a solitary life under the care of a motherly computer, but he wants to break free to lead adventures and do good in the world. Adventures ensue. Broken Age development began when we asked our community if they would help us create a classic-style adventure game without needing to rely on traditional publishers. It turns out they did. And ever since day one, 2 Player Productions has been recording the whole process in an ongoing series of in-depth episodes documenting the creation of a game. Stay tuned for details on how to get your hands on it.

Okay, tengo problemas personales con éste juego. Lo más importante: SE NOTA QUE LES FALTÓ DINERO

Es muy bonito ése epílogo con dibujos, pero no quita el hecho de que muchas cosas quedan al aire y la resolución es un poco xd

Disfrute muchísimo el juego, me la pasé increíble, inclusive en el acto 2 que muchos consideran horrible, puedo ver por que, sin embargo adoré re-recorrer los escenarios nuevamente desde una nueva perspectiva. Pero odio, ODIO el acertijo de los cables y los hexágonos. Ésa parte es horrible y desesperante, ni con guía es fácil, terminé el juego con un sabor de boca MUY agridulce :')

I forgot why this game was talked about so much. Playing the game only made me more confused. I forgot it was just a big kickstarter campaign. I remember those. Definitely not this game, though. Despite iconic names in both production and talent, there's just nothing here that has anything to say to stand out even among Double Fine Productions' own catalog. Gameplay feels slow and poorly put together, with the perspective switch gimmick only serving as the most basic visual storytelling technique ever. Anything in the beginning that was charming and proved to be humorous was quickly dashed by annoying puzzles that seem counter-intuitive and require more attention than I think any player would want to give this. An unfortunate yet extremely temporary stain on the independent game development industry, and at least people don't clamor to pre-orders like they used to... I think... I would hope so.

Broken Age um ótimo jogo point and click, divertido e com puzzles muito interessante, um jogo pequeno mas que faz tudo com maestria, com certeza um jogo que vai agradar muito amantes de jogos point and click de narrativa

Really really good first half, and kinda weak second half

Great first part but the second stinks a bit. It just feels like a different game. Apart from that, I liked the two different perspectives and how you could switch back and forth. Humor was also great and the silhouette style was something new. A bit bittersweet because of part 2 :/

Broken Age caught my eye because of it's beautiful art direction and stellar voice cast. When I played Act 1, I fell in love instantaneously with the story and it's characters. My imagination ran wild with what the mysteries of this world could be. I think for that very reason, the second Act felt like a bit of a let down. The truths that were revealed didn't meet my expectation and felt a bit rushed. I would still strongly recommend folks check Broken Age out though, its a great story and a beautiful game. Shout out to Elijah Wood for being in every quirky he project he can (this game included). We love a franchise actor who pockets a big paycheque and then makes whatever art he wants.
