Danger Crew

Pokemon meets developer life. Awesome game

If you are looking for a quick, fun, and charming “palette cleanser” in between huge AAA games like I was, Danger Crew could be just the game for you. What could have been a lengthy, grindy, and content-fluffed game has been thankfully trimmed down to its core experience. Clocking in at just over four hours, I enjoyed all of my time with the game, and was thankful for something that could scratch a turn-based RPG itch without demanding two months of my life to do so. While it may not be the most memorable, groundbreaking, or even fantastic game in the world, Danger Crew was a great bite-sized game that doesn’t take many risks, and really it doesn’t need to.

プログラムとRPGを組み合わあせたHack Battleを繰り広げるゲーム。 どんな敵もノートパソコン（raptop）を携えてスクリプトで攻撃してくるユニークな世界観が特徴的。 そんなHack Battleでの戦闘はいかに相手のアイテムを奪って使って。更に生まれた隙をどのアップグレードで埋めるか。 アップグレードは特定の行動をした場合に有効な常在スキルのようなもので、戦闘中でもガンガン入れ替える事ができるので、行動前に最適なアップグレードを選択し、スクリプトを実行する。なんだかプログラマーになったような気分になれるよ。 店はオンラインショップなのでどこでもアイテムやスクリプトが買えるのに対して、 体力となるバッテリーの回復は町に数個ある充電器を使うだけというこれも現実世界を反映しているかなと。 ちなみに主人公は選択式で、好みの容姿と名前を選ぶことができるが、容姿の選択肢があんまり多くないので、自由に作成できるともっと没入感があったと思う。 クリア後に隠し要素とかあればもっと好きになりそう！

A cute game, reminds me of the good old DS Pokemon times. Definitely a good time!

A fun game, and a fun theme! I particularly enjoy all the IT in-jokes, ranging across the board from help-desk and info-sec, to infrastructure and coding. Wait till you see the new hire process! :D Biggest complaint is that the controls don't support diagonal movement, which is a bit tedious. I mean, these kinds of games are designed around winding pathways and tedious movement, but that's beside the point.

I got this game on a whim and I do not regret it. I'm a big fan of pixel art and games with interesting narratives, so it felt like a no-brainer to give this game a try. I've played through it twice now, and I may very well play a third time. The writing is amusing and quirky, and I love the variety of dialogue from the npc's. Highly recommend this game, especially as something to wind down with over a weekend!
