Around this time getting into the big studios was competitive and hard, requiring substantial "experience" So, a lot of new grad devs in animation, 3D art etc would either start their own studios, or take a job at these "Game studios". Most of these studios had little to no managerial structure whatsoever, with an extremely short shelf life before simply disappearing. Of course, you would work on a "Game", but knowing that it probably would never be realeased. If the game is "finished" before the company has laundered enough money or whatever, shit like this gets released.
I for one applaud the developers for making their game piss easy. Normally the approach seems to be to make such games impossibly hard to avoid most players seeing most of the cringe. Here you can at least cruise through it and laugh about it.
Mitch, i hope you realize now that i'm fully expecting an awards show at the end of the year where one of the categorys are "most ridicoulus game of the year"
This channel deserves to blow up. I dont mean in the explosive way either. So much work goes into your videos and you can tell, it feels so professional but still allowing itself to be funny.
God, since I discovered this channel I always check to see if there are new videos, I laughed from beggining to end, and that levitate skill just looks like the dude is dancing thriller in the air.
Damn, seeing what the game looks like, the raw UI and all, I expected that it's just some student project distributed for free or for donations, but damn, that was actually SOLD to people?
Your commentary and witty humor absolutely killed me this video Mitch! Genuinely a stellar review! These videos are always hilarious but this one was perfection!
0:16 Dude, i'm ROTFLMAO here - UA-cam recommended me this video RIGHT after i saw a vid of a seagull going into a shop through a motion sensing door, getting a sandwich and leaving with it (and recently i also saw a similar seagull stealing a pack of chips from a shop). I guess that birds going through automatic doors are going to be the topic of today...
I like to imagine one of the devs on a job interview for another company and they go well what are you working on and he goes I worked on Magus. And then just go oh really all the while trying not to laugh in his face
I got this game on its launch year, specifically BECAUSE the trailer looked like absolute tripe. Well, I say I got it, A friend bought me it on the grounds that I had to finish it.
Now _that's_ a god I'd worship. If I weren't already giving daily worship to the idol head in my basement. I don't know where it came from, but it's angry, jealous and it never stops screaming.
You ever tried Virtua Fighter? A spin-off of street fighter, rpg elements where you go through a virtual world and fight some evil corporations, a la ready player one. I seem to only remember in being on GameCube.
I remember some rpg i played as a kid... It was in a huge box with 4 cds, was 3d (althought i dont really remember was it first or third person view) and was something abot magic and technology methinks. All i remember is the game having 0 tutorial, which made me barely able to understand anything happening and stopping playing it entirely. But nowadays i kinda wanna remember what's it called to go back and try to finish it...
Lol had the idea to put in that timed bit after getting the footage and that's just how long it took. I think if someone did a speedrun of this game their final time would actually be in the past 😄
How Aksyd games looked at this and thiught ut was a good idea to release it is beyond me, but one thing for sure, besides this, the studio that worked on the game also worked as development partners for Friday the 13th game in 2018. Good reminder that the game already had its support plugged out and will remain online until 2024. Rrally feel bad for the devs lol
I can't believe I'm saying this in some sincerity... but you might want to check out Dynasty Warriors 9. It's not as bad as you've heard - it's so so much worse. Every aspect of it is broken in just about every conceivable way, and it is absolutely *hilarious* if you enjoy open-world kusoge silliness. Although I do feel bad for all the DW fans who were totally burned by it.
Gotta love the super duper sexy unprotective armor on your female companion, and her Super Saunter that you always manage to see from behind in cutscenes. Not even trying to hide the bait, eh?
I love how the story doesn't even build up to the fact the player character is a god through mystery and plot, it's just like "speak this password".
Input cheat code here:
Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A
"Congratulations! You've unlocked God Mode!"
"Destroying them with his levitating DJ skills" 🤣
This whole game feels like a scheme to clean a criminal syndicate’s dirty money.
That's what microtransactions feel like to me. Are whales just syndicates?
@@Deusaga Now i want a investigative reportage about this theory...

Blackadder cameo was perfect. :D
Can we just point out how well the Blacksmith crafted her Chest armor to perfectly outline her nipples thru the metal.. lol
Hey, big nipples need special protection.
I wondered why it looked like her tits were out during cutscenes..
Taking lessons from the Ancient Greeks and their nippled chestpieces.
Thank you for the picture of the Citrus Polos for someone who doesn't live where they're sold
This guy sounds like David Attenborough doing reviews on horrible games. What a legend.
Gotta give it some credit with the Unicorn miners, that is some creature design I wasn’t expecting and is kind of unique to me.
The mOnotaur? Very unique. Very different.
I don't know. Green was pretty groundbreaking
Zebracorns, surely.
"Unique" is what comes out when you lock your devs in with only a metric ton of crack cocaine
This is the best Magus review on UA-cam. You have outdone yourself Mitch.
I agree! 😂
HAHAHA! "bum-debris"...thats worth a sub and a like.
I for one applaud the developers for making their game piss easy. Normally the approach seems to be to make such games impossibly hard to avoid most players seeing most of the cringe. Here you can at least cruise through it and laugh about it.
+1 for using Blackadder clip :)
Where has this channel been all my life?
Mitch, i hope you realize now that i'm fully expecting an awards show at the end of the year where one of the categorys are "most ridicoulus game of the year"
That sounds like a right laugh 😂
we already have two neck-and-neck contenders this year, Gollum and King Kong
The only channel that can take a bad game and make it incredibly enjoyable to watch. All love Mitch. Great content.
The Blackadder clip alone warrants a thumbs up, not to mention the rest of your hard work as well. Thanks for the laughs
This channel deserves to blow up. I dont mean in the explosive way either. So much work goes into your videos and you can tell, it feels so professional but still allowing itself to be funny.
Totally agree, his videos are unique and so professional , and as someone recently said, 'legendary'!
Really appreciate that. Getting excited about 100k..then the world! Mahahahahaha!
100% ❤
Giving this post more good vibes
That TP advert was pure gold. "Codpiece Weekly" had me completely out of breath laughing. Fantastic video.
2:44 what a beautiful hymn
God, since I discovered this channel I always check to see if there are new videos, I laughed from beggining to end, and that levitate skill just looks like the dude is dancing thriller in the air.
Your editing is just brilliant. Mitch Mandrex😂😂. Great video, but expect no less from you😊
I've heard the tales, but i didn't believe them. Thanks for showing this masterpiece! We need an HD-remaster!
That game feels like the result of someone going "Pff, I can make an RPG, too. Can't be that hard"
Imagine having the planet sized balls to actually release this to the paid market years after Dark Souls.
Respect.
There are so many funny parts to this video I cant possibly comment on my fav bit, just know you made my day hahaha 😂
That oblivion clip totally caught me off guard
This 2014 game looks like it belongs in 2004. That's an insult to 2004, actually; we had Half-Life 2 in 2004.
Magic brownie points for perfect inclusion of a BlackAdder clip!!!!
Damn, seeing what the game looks like, the raw UI and all, I expected that it's just some student project distributed for free or for donations, but damn, that was actually SOLD to people?
The product placement bit was on point! 😂 My goodness I need a laugh today and you never fail to do just that, keep up the stellar work my friend 🍻
Just brilliant 👏 😂😂😂😂. Still not seen or found a better youtube channel 😂😂
Every time you put this game in its temporal context I lost my mind.
The citrus polos got me good😂
I can't believe he was able to play this much of the game, I got bored of it like an hour in but it seems I missed this gem lmao
Another fun video congrats on 100k in advance, any channel that uses Black Adder refences is aces.
@2:24 I literally said "Nooo......" out loud at seeing the "Green Ring" enhance your "Green" magic. Wow.
Your commentary and witty humor absolutely killed me this video Mitch!
Genuinely a stellar review! These videos are always hilarious but this one was perfection!
Cheers mate 😊
This guy keeps pumping out banger videos! Thanks for the laugh mate!
I cracked up while holding my green plastic mug with OJ when he said “citrus polo” 😂
Thank you. The best laugh I've had in ages.
Man two worlds in its sequel. Have a special place in my heart. They are such brokenly stupid RPGs but they are so fun
"... with the Undead Keeper running towards us like a toddler chasing after an ice cream truck."
Can you say Billy Kincaid?
Is the woman voiced by Liara T'Sonis voice actor?
0:16 Dude, i'm ROTFLMAO here - UA-cam recommended me this video RIGHT after i saw a vid of a seagull going into a shop through a motion sensing door, getting a sandwich and leaving with it (and recently i also saw a similar seagull stealing a pack of chips from a shop).
I guess that birds going through automatic doors are going to be the topic of today...
Two Worlds was very underrated gem....so much innovation in it.
02:50 "...and his holy wrath of citrus polos" 😂😂😂
Immortals of Aveum has finally been patched up, I see.
Bro that undead guy answering a question. He wasn't wrong but damn all that build up for yes, dies
I like to imagine one of the devs on a job interview for another company and they go well what are you working on and he goes I worked on Magus. And then just go oh really all the while trying not to laugh in his face
This was worth watching just for the duck(?) opening the door.
Every character is somehow hoverhanding themselves in each scene.
"Infamous for its terrible nonsense"
I mean, that sums up our existence in its totality, though.
I got this game on its launch year, specifically BECAUSE the trailer looked like absolute tripe. Well, I say I got it, A friend bought me it on the grounds that I had to finish it.
LOL! Codpeace Weekly? If that isn't a thing, it should be a magazine expression of Python-esque humor!
Wait... is this game where the recent "Immortals of Something Something" got the inspiration for its magic system?
it's funny how this game looks like a unity early access steam game
This game was just hard to believe.
Another RPG with wonky and comedic bugs is Kenshi. However, in my opinion, it is one of the best games ever made.
Late to the party here - I spilled my coffee laughing!
This game feels really nostalgic though I never played it. I think I would have been into it as a young kid
Oh crap citrus polos… such happy memories. Thanks Mitch
I think i spotted magus in the classics streaming section of playstation plus premium awhile back, i'll give it a miss 😂
Love your vids! Any plans on playing BG3 ??
I dunno, Sandra in accounts was a welcome drink monster at Christmas
Now _that's_ a god I'd worship.
If I weren't already giving daily worship to the idol head in my basement. I don't know where it came from, but it's angry, jealous and it never stops screaming.
Ooooh ima gonna save this for later, it'll require my full attention 😮
The voice actor for Kinna is the same as Liara from the Mass Effect trilogy...
If you can find it and get it running, the Legends of Kyrandia is an odd old point-and-click adventure game series.
😂codpiece weekly, an excellent publication
I feel like this game spent all of its budget on the protagonist dodging an arrow at the start
Is that Liara T'soni?? Wow she fell on hard times XD
Oh speaking of goofy classics you really need to try the Spellforce series.
3:59 S-Shadowheart?! Is that you?
You ever tried Virtua Fighter? A spin-off of street fighter, rpg elements where you go through a virtual world and fight some evil corporations, a la ready player one. I seem to only remember in being on GameCube.
still waiting for another kenshi video
I played unmodded Skyrim shortly after release, this seems to about the same experience.
A true spiritual successor to Oblivion.
Missed the opportunity to say "After the beatdeop"
3:33 the divine power known as Circle Strafe.
Our lord and savior circle strafe
2:54 - I used to love those!
I subscribed as soon as I heard wambo combo
WAIT
america, you have "citrus" Polo?!?
hand them over
I like all of those games... Funny is good
I love that you can end the game siding with the villain and it really doesnt matter
I remember some rpg i played as a kid... It was in a huge box with 4 cds, was 3d (althought i dont really remember was it first or third person view) and was something abot magic and technology methinks. All i remember is the game having 0 tutorial, which made me barely able to understand anything happening and stopping playing it entirely. But nowadays i kinda wanna remember what's it called to go back and try to finish it...
Soooooo when you gonna speedrun this one Mitch? You know you want to XD
Lol had the idea to put in that timed bit after getting the footage and that's just how long it took. I think if someone did a speedrun of this game their final time would actually be in the past 😄
Truly one of RGB RPG

I haven't played this since high school lol
My Magus had super saiyan hair
This game reminded me masterpieces such as Big Rigs existed.
So I understand MitchMandrex is hitting merch shops?
*Right?*
Omg that would be amazing 😂
Can we talk about these enourmously big hands?
This game looks like a 1 person Unity project that was made as a school project.
I can't believe I'm saying this in some sincerity... but you might want to check out Dynasty Warriors 9. It's not as bad as you've heard - it's so so much worse.

Love the video!
1:12 THIS! IS! DARK SOULS!
Gotta love the super duper sexy unprotective armor on your female companion, and her Super Saunter that you always manage to see from behind in cutscenes. Not even trying to hide the bait, eh?
I'm not sure I've seen a more phoned-in, "I really don't give a fuck" game in my life.
There is nothing better then ridiculous nonesense, powered by ragdolls!
