@@Eta_Hoyimi If you notice, every dialogues and story are AI generated. The "lore" is extremely over convoluted and word vomitted for such a barebones game.
@@devcrom3 That's one of those things that breaks your head if you stop to think about it. Like when I realized that in Knight Rider, Michael Knight would basically be liquefied inside KITT when it smashes through concrete. 🤯
Me too. Even though it's rather basic text-to-speech samples, I think it would be cool if her "voice" was extracted from the game so it could be used for Windows sounds or something. Imagine an error dialog appearing and her saying "Bad".
The concept for this game is sound, and the physics seem fun, but it definitely feels more like a student project game than something money went into. I could see picking it up for maybe $5, but anything more than that feels like you're being ripped off when there are so many well made free games out there.
The Developers also made "A Bastard's Tale" which goes for $5 and even less on a sale, it's 2d with pixel art, it's hard but also fells rewarding when you finally beat it.
Mate, I admire your patience and willingness to dive into a game with an open heart. I've seen you cover so many games that I would not give 30 seconds to, let alone see what they have to offer past the main menu. You're a trooper we all could learn from, and funny as hell. :) I hope you keep on doing your thing.
Hi All, I am the developer. I am working hard to turn this around and I hope people will enjoy it in the future. All constructive feedback is welcome! BTW, This is a great video! Really enjoyed it and I could hear you laugh out loud several times. That was my goal with this game :-).
This might sound strange but after the negative hellscape on the Steam page of Hammer of Virtue the comments on this video gives me the power to keep on trying to turn it around. @@wicked_wizard
@@nopestproductions Physics games are hella fun so I would definitely love to see this game a bit more polished and fleshed out because the core concept seems like loads of fun.
i think your concept art and the story you have for this game is great so far. there's a lot of good bases for game mechanics, and this would all be really well rounded with some more polish put into it. i think this game will be something great if you continue putting time into it and refining what's already there
honestly the idea behind it about making an Earth defence force inspired game with the destruction of a Red faction guerilla and OG crackdown is actually neat its a shame it was so poorly executed i wish some people would make that kind of combination
@@SpikeRose not really Deep rock galactic is more of a left 4 dead with bugs , Earth defence force is something on its own its over the top grand scale battle with hundreds of devastating weaponry and armies of insects ,aliens , kaijus , mechas to kill and all the series need is a destruction system like a red faction game
@@suffering9668 yeah fully agreed deep rock is a fun game but its nowhere like an edf, its truly closer to a l4d with the ability to mine edf goes way harder on rule of cool, and theres an insane amount of weapons which can feel completely different (and be beyond absurd) a edf+red faction game would be amazing, it sucks that theres some amazing games that had no one take inspiration from, much less fuse genres to create something even better
I don't know, this game feels like it has some potential. If it gets no man's sky treatment over the next couple of years it might actually pan out to something reasonably good
This is an asset flip that was probably thrown together in a few weeks by some new game devs, it's strange how they were so cheap that they used free animations from Miximo but spend tons of money on marketing
Agree fully on the potential. The gameplay looks fun, imagine this with online MP w/ your friends. Could be a game that streamers would pick up on, but it looks like it needs quite a lot of work. No Man's Sky is a very rare minority in games that were actually able to "turn it around", sadly.
100%, halfway through and I’m wishing this thing had a coat of polish with some fleshed out content. It would 100% be a hit. For honor combat and red faction destruction? Hell yeah.
The whole 'only a few destructible environments to kill things in' thing does work, if done right and the areas are big enough and there's enough different kinds of enemies to spice things up. EDF is basically that.
I'm glad this game got covered. Twitter was advertising this pretty hard to atleast me for a while so seeing a review for it is actually kinda interesting.
This is one of like maybe 3 channels since UA-cam opened (I think it was 2005?) that I’ve randomly stumbled upon and I’m actually excited to see new uploads. You’re a gem.
9:00 honestly, looking at this, I can see the wasted potential here, imagine, looking at this fight with the bear, a dark souls with this wacky ass physics.
I hear the victory jingle and my first thought is... "Wiz, are you playing Happy Wheels?" Like that is just a pitched down victory jingle from Happy Wheels.
11:11 People these days can't get pleasure from weak games, back then, even the weakest game was played with excitement and joy. People used to enjoy games more, now they complain more often... We appreciate your channel because you don't negatively evaluate the game after 5 minutes of playing, but you play the entire game and always try to evaluate it objectively and find some advantages or give tips to the developers, that is great
I guess because _you're_ not unbreakable, and if you die it might be difficult for them to recover it. Also, it's not un*loseable* armor, so you still have to be careful in that sense :P
I recognize that font they used on the UI and menus. It’s neuropol, the font used in the Animusic logo. The whole rest of the Animusic community goes insane like sleeper agents when they see it and it’s starting to rub off on me
Of all the bad games you've played, this honestly looks kinda fun if you're really really bored. Sadly it needs huge polishing, but the idea is fun... you're a robot of total mayhem, you'll destroy ANYTHING in a neighborhood or a city just to destroy the bad guy. If the guy had more budget and make things much more chaotic, it'll be like the game Rampage Edit: ALso it does seem like you have a lot of fun too
Tbh the concept needs a little fleshing out but its a great start. A goofy physics based tokusatsu-inspired dynasty warrior-esque game that fully embraces the b-movie vibes is personally the direction I would go with the concept.
i can imagine a world where this is the greatest fun game ever... make it multiplayer and getting hit reduces your weight, killing small NPCs can get you weight back, goal is to smack the other players off the battlefield, and the story: just make it some futuristic sport or something. it could be a third person scifi smash bros .... but no they just fucked up :(
This actually looks really fun for like, two younger brothers to play. The physics are ridiculous, and the frustrating parts would be made hilarious with two players.
would prob be better if bears werent heavy and gave them a charge attack, so they actually pose a threat, since their attacks are too slow, that way bears are engaging and dangerous and fun to go against, maybe add a way to launch nearby debris into enemies while locking on, like an acurate way maybe
Think the last game I've played with destructible enemies was Valk Profile 2 for the PS2, there's some downright amazing stuff you can inflict on most things in that game. As long as they aren't ghosts or bees(who count as ghosts) since they don't really have any destructible parts.
Man, someone with skill and familiarity with UE5 need to make a fan made HULK game with fully destructible environments, from the ground to the buildings.
This game is honestly pretty good from what I've seen so far, the physics are so satisfying. Compared to other crap games, this one is somewhat functional and if it wasn't a cash grab, and an actual game with an actual dev team, then it could be really fun.
You know watching this, If this game was only a couple usd or free, it would most likely be heralded as a underrated gem, the story is actually interesting, the physics seem fun, I think it’s the price that is keeping it down
Robot bears with wolverine extendable claws and robot monkeys...whats the worse that could happen? 😹 20:22: T-Rex with a giant stick....wasn't expecting that....
the concept art looks pretty good, they should have just made a comic, or vn and a destruction sandbox with a level editor or some shit, not mashed them together into one game.

Seeing the guy getting tossed through stuff and the reactions the physics has makes me feel like some kind of concept exists. Games have really dropped off any physics destruction in recent high-profile releases, seeing your main character blasting between trees and them bending by the force actually feels inspired in this day and age.
Honestly "Be careful with this unbreakable armour" is a great joke
They absolutely had to know lol But the VA reads it with the confidence of a guy selling you the golden gate bridge
@@Eta_Hoyimi If you notice, every dialogues and story are AI generated. The "lore" is extremely over convoluted and word vomitted for such a barebones game.

The armor is unbreakable, but the guy inside is very much not.
@@devcrom3 That's one of those things that breaks your head if you stop to think about it. Like when I realized that in Knight Rider, Michael Knight would basically be liquefied inside KITT when it smashes through concrete. 🤯
I have to say I love the sarcastic voice over in the "combat training" level. "Pathetic." "No; no; no." "Wrong: try again." "Bad."
Kind of like GLaDOS lmao
@@prince_of_cats Yes, that's exactly who (?) I thought of as well! Though this one is terser.
Me too. Even though it's rather basic text-to-speech samples, I think it would be cool if her "voice" was extracted from the game so it could be used for Windows sounds or something. Imagine an error dialog appearing and her saying "Bad".
one of these games where all it takes is a little bit more work on the big issues and the right price would turn it into a sleeper.
Be careful. We only have one sample of the unbreakable armor.
Okay... but if its unbreakable...?
What if you lost it
Easily stainable, however.
Anyway, it's a skill issue
Tbf I think you could blame these games and be alright 😂
This game feels like someone has a humiliation fetish.
Truly, a skill issue.
what up king kreamcicle u make me twirl and whirl like a turtle in a swirly
juniper berries aint got nothing on u my king kreamy king kone
Too much skill! 😁Just like Billy Mitchell 😂
Everytime you smack an enemy into a building, I keep thinking of scenes in dragon ball where someone gets hit through a mountain.
"Now, I'm going to throw you at that mountain."
"Actually, that looks more like a plateeeaaaauuuuu! "

The price is the problem of the game
yeah i would rather purchase Styx again, and that game was a low budget indy game, and it was good, in fact it still is a good game.
The Developers also made "A Bastard's Tale" which goes for $5 and even less on a sale, it's 2d with pixel art, it's hard but also fells rewarding when you finally beat it.
Yeah this game looks just like dumb fun to go around and make everything fly with hammer
lmao the game isn't even worth the price of free, let alone $5

This game needs a lot of work, but the combat mixed with physics is a pretty cool concept.

That game is generic Unreal engine
Just play edf
@@DaftanemoneI disagree.
@Daftanemone
Then dont watch it? Are you being ludvico techniqued into watching it or something?
Okay, fast travel by literally yeeting yourself across the map is fun.
I don't know, this game feels like it has some potential. If it gets no man's sky treatment over the next couple of years it might actually pan out to something reasonably good
It has the bones. It just needs content, an fps fix and maybe more weapon variety
This is an asset flip that was probably thrown together in a few weeks by some new game devs, it's strange how they were so cheap that they used free animations from Miximo but spend tons of money on marketing
honestly, yeah, I agree. hell, if they made even just a few improvements and quartered the price...it kinda seems like a fun time.

As much as I miss Wicked Wiz's what went wrong videos, I wholeheartedly love this series.
Sadly he found most well backed projects that "went wrong" 😢
What happened to his other channel?
Love the games logic. You can bring down an entire building with a single swing but can only slightly dent a car.
The voice delivery in that last bit.. "Imagine what we could accomplish together!" *chops you with his strange dual helicopter rotor blades/swords*
Winnie the Pooh goes into the public domain and now he's in a horror movie AND a sci-fi video game.
I think the best one yet is the upcoming "Hundred Acre Wood"; a first-person cosmic horror game.
12:40 At that point a voice in my head shouted "it's only a flesh wound".
I think out of my 300 subscriptions, you are my favorite channel!

If you cant break the armour you cant break through it to the person either XD@ZeldaTheSwordsman
This video really HAMMERS home how bad this game is. I'm glad someone with VIRTUE is here to review it.
Ohhhh I get it!! HAMMERS VIRTUE
It looks great.
It's probably just meant for controllers with really, really shitty mouse and Keyboard controls.

I can't stop laughing at you getting tossed around by the Babe Ruth T-Rex!
🤣🤣🤣
Yo Wiz I got a suggestion for a game for this video series. It's called Sir WhoopAss and it falls perfectly into that so bad it's good territory.
And people think Baldur's Gate 3 is going to win game of the year
21:11 I do like when a scenario properly punishes a player for ignoring mechanics.
I like how one of the Bear's sounds is literally Taurus Demon roar from Dark souls 1
You don't break the unbreakable armor, you hit it so hard that the guy inside the armor gets broken bones and brain trauma.
Well at least in this game it seems someone at least tried to make something
You got me at dinosaurs and monkeys.
"Bears can be quite difficult" needs to be on a shirt.
You made this game look way more fun than it sounds 😂
for a game all about destroying stuff you'd think they'd give you more to destroy.
I’m living or just waiting for you to do a upload?! 🎉
12:53 “It’s just a flesh wound!” “Tis but a scratch!”
Love your vids and this series. Keep it up, dude!
Holy hell... this looks like it was an awful experience. My thanks for performing the experiment!
The controls or key bind menu is the same as clone hero.
I love seeing the ads for this game and how everyone flames the dev in the qrts lmao
I wonder if changing the attack keys to ZXCV would help things.
Imagine a pvp game with these physics
"be careful, we only have 1 sample of the unbreakable armor. don't break it" lmao
The devs just didnt understand what the fun part of their game is and tried to make it into somethn else
9:32 the bear used his own idea against him lol😂
is that music from the sims? at about 9:30?
This game is honestly pretty good from what I've seen so far, the physics are so satisfying.

It is not a Cash Grab I promise you that. ( i am the developer)
08:47 I know I've heard that roar sound before... maybe Turok 2? I can't remember now
imagine if a game like this was made with euphoria
That bear roar at 5:17 is from Ursa in Dota 2
33:54 Why are the credits moving downward?! What is this sorcery??!?
You know watching this, If this game was only a couple usd or free, it would most likely be heralded as a underrated gem, the story is actually interesting, the physics seem fun, I think it’s the price that is keeping it down
someone needs to ad a mod that makes a "weeeeee" sound effect when ever a monkey goes flying
I just lol'd at 30 minutes of amazing ragdoll physics
12:37 It's the Black Knight! "Tis only a flesh wound!"
Wizz just causally sounded like stanley from the parable with the "No, No, No, you're not supposed to do that"
Robot bears with wolverine extendable claws and robot monkeys...whats the worse that could happen? 😹
20:22: T-Rex with a giant stick....wasn't expecting that....
That tutorial gave me big "Where did you learn to fly!?" Vibes
The bear sound at 5:14 is just Dota 2 Ursa sound, what the hell
the worst part is that he didn't get his refund
"Oh! I i figured it out you just move right into him!"
He's learning the ways of the souls
the concept art looks pretty good, they should have just made a comic, or vn and a destruction sandbox with a level editor or some shit, not mashed them together into one game.
The fact that the bear sounds are just Taurus Demon sounds from Dark Souls is easily telling.
The Moon physics being mixed in with the Earth physics was... disconcerting.
GG on Stickhead Mc🦖 who kept you on the ropes for a bit, but trapping you in the corner of the map like that was harsh!
Seeing the guy getting tossed through stuff and the reactions the physics has makes me feel like some kind of concept exists. Games have really dropped off any physics destruction in recent high-profile releases, seeing your main character blasting between trees and them bending by the force actually feels inspired in this day and age.
You fell down due to the massive wind of the deadly bear claw swing
coming back in 2024, the option to choose the bear was never funnier
Wild how far your channels have come brother.
I'm a simple man: give me a hammer, a fighting arena, some enemies and wacky physics and i will be happy as a child.
so the devs saw teardown and said "lets do that but way worse" and no one tried to stop it?
Absolutely love this series you make keep it up 😊😊😊
Okay genuinely the game does look like it has great ideas behind it, just needs a lot more work.
What great ideas?! It is completely random and it's just a guy walking around swinging a hammer. You are delusional.
WickedWiz never fails to create a worthwhile video
