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.
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.
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 commentary and witty humor absolutely killed me this video Mitch! Genuinely a stellar review! These videos are always hilarious but this one was perfection!
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?
0:16 Dude, i'm ROTFLMAO here - TH-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
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 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.
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
Was this entire game made with premade assets? Or some kind of weird janky premade engine? It's got that feel about it. Also was that Jennifer Hale? How the heck did they get her for this? Or is that Laura Bailey? I sometimes get them mixed up. I couldn't find a cast list, at least not an english one.
At first I was somewhat incensed that there's no character customization and that we're stuck looking like a teenager in 2007's idea of a cool hero man.. but then as the video continued, I realized that it was a blessing in disguise, that I not become more attached to the protagonist.
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.
This is the best Magus review on TH-cam. You have outdone yourself Mitch.
I agree! 😂
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 guy sounds like David Attenborough doing reviews on horrible games. What a legend.
Thank you for the picture of the Citrus Polos for someone who doesn't live where they're sold

HAHAHA! "bum-debris"...thats worth a sub and a like.
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
+1 for using Blackadder clip :)
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.
The only channel that can take a bad game and make it incredibly enjoyable to watch. All love Mitch. Great content.
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.
The Blackadder clip alone warrants a thumbs up, not to mention the rest of your hard work as well. Thanks for the laughs
2:44 what a beautiful hymn
Where has this channel been all my life?
@2:24 I literally said "Nooo......" out loud at seeing the "Green Ring" enhance your "Green" magic. Wow.
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.
That oblivion clip totally caught me off guard
That game feels like the result of someone going "Pff, I can make an RPG, too. Can't be that hard"
There are so many funny parts to this video I cant possibly comment on my fav bit, just know you made my day hahaha 😂
I've heard the tales, but i didn't believe them. Thanks for showing this masterpiece! We need an HD-remaster!
Imagine having the planet sized balls to actually release this to the paid market years after Dark Souls.
Respect.
Your editing is just brilliant. Mitch Mandrex😂😂. Great video, but expect no less from you😊
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 😊
Magic brownie points for perfect inclusion of a BlackAdder clip!!!!
Just brilliant 👏 😂😂😂😂. Still not seen or found a better youtube channel 😂😂
The citrus polos got me good😂
02:50 "...and his holy wrath of citrus polos" 😂😂😂
This 2014 game looks like it belongs in 2004. That's an insult to 2004, actually; we had Half-Life 2 in 2004.
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 🍻
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?
Thank you. The best laugh I've had in ages.
This guy keeps pumping out banger videos! Thanks for the laugh mate!
Every time you put this game in its temporal context I lost my mind.
Another fun video congrats on 100k in advance, any channel that uses Black Adder refences is aces.
I cracked up while holding my green plastic mug with OJ when he said “citrus polo” 😂
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
"... 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 - TH-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...
Man two worlds in its sequel. Have a special place in my heart. They are such brokenly stupid RPGs but they are so fun
Bro that undead guy answering a question. He wasn't wrong but damn all that build up for yes, dies
Every character is somehow hoverhanding themselves in each scene.
I feel like this game spent all of its budget on the protagonist dodging an arrow at the start
This was worth watching just for the duck(?) opening the door.
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
Immortals of Aveum has finally been patched up, I see.
3:59 S-Shadowheart?! Is that you?
"Infamous for its terrible nonsense"
I mean, that sums up our existence in its totality, though.
Ron has trouble with even the most mundane tasks, so the difficulty is set to potatoe.
Wait... is this game where the recent "Immortals of Something Something" got the inspiration for its magic system?
LOL! Codpeace Weekly? If that isn't a thing, it should be a magazine expression of Python-esque humor!
Two Worlds was very underrated gem....so much innovation in it.
This game was just hard to believe.
A true spiritual successor to Oblivion.
it's funny how this game looks like a unity early access steam game
Love the video!
Late to the party here - I spilled my coffee laughing!
The voice actor for Kinna is the same as Liara from the Mass Effect trilogy...
😂codpiece weekly, an excellent publication
I played unmodded Skyrim shortly after release, this seems to about the same experience.
Oh crap citrus polos… such happy memories. Thanks Mitch
Is that Liara T'soni?? Wow she fell on hard times XD
still waiting for another kenshi video
I dunno, Sandra in accounts was a welcome drink monster at Christmas
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.
3:33 the divine power known as Circle Strafe.
Our lord and savior circle strafe
1:12 THIS! IS! DARK SOULS!
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.
Missed the opportunity to say "After the beatdeop"
I think i spotted magus in the classics streaming section of playstation plus premium awhile back, i'll give it a miss 😂
2:54 - I used to love those!
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...
I subscribed as soon as I heard wambo combo
If you can find it and get it running, the Legends of Kyrandia is an odd old point-and-click adventure game series.
Oh speaking of goofy classics you really need to try the Spellforce series.
I love that you can end the game siding with the villain and it really doesnt matter
My Magus had super saiyan hair
WAIT
america, you have "citrus" Polo?!?
hand them over
Ooooh ima gonna save this for later, it'll require my full attention 😮
This game feels really nostalgic though I never played it. I think I would have been into it as a young kid
The power of glowing balls
I like all of those games... Funny is good
Another RPG with wonky and comedic bugs is Kenshi. However, in my opinion, it is one of the best games ever made.
Truly one of RGB RPG
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 😄

I haven't played this since high school lol
Love your vids! Any plans on playing BG3 ??
Can we talk about these enourmously big hands?
This game looks like a 1 person Unity project that was made as a school project.
Was this entire game made with premade assets? Or some kind of weird janky premade engine? It's got that feel about it.
Also was that Jennifer Hale? How the heck did they get her for this? Or is that Laura Bailey? I sometimes get them mixed up. I couldn't find a cast list, at least not an english one.
the engine is unreal 3
I'm not sure I've seen a more phoned-in, "I really don't give a fuck" game in my life.
At first I was somewhat incensed that there's no character customization and that we're stuck looking like a teenager in 2007's idea of a cool hero man.. but then as the video continued, I realized that it was a blessing in disguise, that I not become more attached to the protagonist.
