![]() ![]() The result is limb dismemberment and blood splattering about the place, the severity of your injuries determines whether you can continue on or whether you restart from the previous checkpoint. Inevitably you will get hit by one (or if you’re really unlucky ALL) of the hazards if you do not swerve to dodge them in time or miss time your jump. ![]() Simply put, Guts and Glory requires you to race your character from one point to another through checkpoints within a makeshift 3D world while avoiding all sorts of everyday hazards such as arrow turrets, spinning chainsaws, disc cutters, claymore mines and even cannons just to name a few. Yep it can only be HakJak Production’s gruesome racing/action game Guts and Glory! Available across all formats and winner of both the IndieDB Editor’s and Player’s Choice award, was I going to find a great game or just some over the top blood bath of a gaming project? Don’t you just hate it when that happens! Gameplay Blood litters the streets, parts of limbs hang from hooks, my bicycle is in tatters and I am flying through the air after hitting a claymore mine. Guts and Glory is certainly not for the faint hearted or those that don’t like the sight of the red stuff. Hosted by 44 Bytes.Oh my freakin’ god what have I just played!

HakJak Productions has promised it's working on a solution to the frame rate issues and texture issues, but considering Switch’s technical limitations almost certainly led to the removal of the map editor, you’re probably better off picking this up on PC for the foreseeable future.Įvery American Football Game On Nintendo Switchīlack Friday 2023: When Is It And What Deals To Expect?Īmazon Big Deal Days: Best Deals On Nintendo Switch Conso. Which is a shame, because there’s so much to love about Guts and Glory’s combination of slapstick silliness and physics-driven gore. Being able to construct insanely difficult challenges would tie right into that same sense of community-driven longevity that’s made the likes of Super Mario Maker so timeless, but without it (and the 1,000-plus fan-made tracks you can currently play on PC) Guts and Glory remains a diminished and hollow version of itself. ![]() It’s this omission that makes the handheld iteration such a hard sell over the one found on Steam, because it doesn’t boast the kind of mode that will keep you coming back for more. The Switch version is also missing one of the best features found on PC - the map editor. It's an issue that takes you out of the moment-to-moment fun that makes Guts and Glory such a great little indie outing. It’s likely an issue to do with the size of each map - you can explore each one in real time, but we’d much rather have smaller, more linear maps (and have shorter loading times as a result) than sandbox designs that lead to protracted loading times. It simply takes far too long to refresh the game. The loading times between retries is also another issue. If you’re expecting the balanced two-wheeled rides of the Trials series - a franchise that’s clearly had a big impact on Guts and Glory’s obstacle-course nature - you’re in for a rude awakening. John and Debra (a couple on a bicycle, with the letter member of the duo strapped into a baby seat on the back) offer the most all-around setup, but it’s easy to lose your balance and feels back-heavy when making jumps. The Yang Family, with their open-top sedan, offer a more stable vehicle, but it’s unwieldy to control, especially when cornering. Each comes with their own strengths and weaknesses, making them better suited to certain challenges than others. These victims range from Jack and Jill (an old man riding a BMX with a lady riding passenger in a cart tied to the back, obviously) to the quad-bike-toting Mick and his love for all things camo. The bloody fun is broken up into nine sets of challenges, each tied together by one or more of the game’s hapless characters. You’ll almost certainly mess up, and almost certainly turn the air seven shades of blue, but you’ll still be having a laugh in between all those involuntary swears. Much like Getting Over It (the PC-based hit that did the rounds on Twitch for a while, inducing rage with its physics-driven ‘man climbing a mountain while a sledgehammer’ premise), Guts and Glory is all about seeking that satisfying sweet spot between avoiding obstacles, staying on your vehicle and pulling off a leaderboard-topping time. ![]()
