This game is currently in the Humble Choice for January 2023, this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before February 7th, 2023, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.
A multiplayer rogue-lite.
Conan Chop Chop is a fresh take on the Conan character, using the style of Cyanide & Happiness, as well as the gameplay of Binding of Isaac, though without the darkness of either of those. There’s an ability to add in up to four players including couch co-op which is a nice touch. The story has a bit of solid humor. The combat is good, though parry heavy, and there’s different equipment you earn.
However, the first boss was brutally hard, to the point that we only took off less than a third of his life bar on the two chances we got to reach him. It feels like the game wants the player to master the encounters more than anything else. There is unlockable equipment, which might help, but that boss felt like a major skill or grind wall.
Pick this up if you have a group to play with. I don’t know if I’d enjoy this as much solo, but it also was more interesting with multiple people. I played this game alongside my daughter and we had a good time with it though it’s probably not going to be something we will rely on. Still, it felt like a fun and unique game that I wasn’t expecting.
