April 3rd, 2013, will be a day that goes down in history for Indie Gaming. Legendary Indie Development Team "The Behemoth" Released what is known today as the leading game in poop related humor and Cat themed death arenas. Battle Block Theater. A game that puts players in the shoes of hundreds of prisoners in a prison theater run by Cats and an Evil hat, where they fight through sadistic and gruesome games to survive. Now come with me, aboard the S.S. Friendship and enjoy the epic review of one of my personal favorite games of 2013!
Now, The Behemoth has been known since their early start for putting out pure side scroll games. Allowing players to explore massive maps under the restriction of a 2d side scroll view. Now while this may seem like a downer and bad aspect of the game, but trust me, it's not. The game allows players explore literally, thousands of player created maps, including story based maps that push the player through solving the mystery of Theater, a Mystery Shrouded in Delicious Ice cream treats, and unfortunately poop, more poop then the human body can handle!
Anyways, The game play is simple yet classic "Newgrounds" controls. Meaning to anyone familiar with The Behemoths other games such as Alien Hominid and Castle Crashes, you'll feel comfortable picking up BattleBlock and exploring. And if you haven't played them, as long as you having a function left and right hand, with average bending fingers, then you should be fine. What would a Prison be with out some Cat on Block Violence though? Through the games black market, you can purchase various weapons, such as a Nerf gun, Acid, and a super cool Frisbee that blows up!
As much as I want to say about this phenomenal excuse for a "Game", I've babbled enough. There really isn't much I can say from here on, A game that has hundreds of customization, an outrageous plot , and multiple game modes that never get boring, you will never want to stop playing Battle Block Theater! So once again, The Behemoth has managed to put out an easy 15/10 game! You can pick up Battle Block and other Behemoth games on the Xbox live Market place, and soon on PC!
