The first thing you notice is that distinctive Ron Gilbert art-style, best described as naive and cartoonish, but with psychedelic undertones. The end result is one mother of a nostalgia-trip for anyone who was an even vaguely sussed gamer in the 1990s.
With DeathSpank, Gilbert has combined Day of the Tentacle’s vibe with the gameplay of another revered retro classic, action-RPG Diablo.

And if you’re seeking a game which exemplifies that spirit, look no further than DeathSpank.įor a start, DeathSpank is the work of Ron Gilbert, a bona fide industry legend whose 1987 game Maniac Mansion pretty much defined the point-and-click adventure genre (which was phenomenally popular from the late 80s to the late 90s), and which spawned a string of related games including Day of the Tentacle and Full Throttle, all noted for their quirky, off-beat sense of humour. Which is precisely why we’re so keen on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade – now that they have reached a state of maturity, they have developed into repositories for games which simply ooze the spirit of retro. Some of us are old (and lucky) enough to remember the early days of videogames, when games were pretty simple affairs, yet as a result of that, seemed to possess a sort of purity.
