Killer Bean

Hey Jeff Lew if you are reading this... I was wondering if you can possibly add in like a very funny "What-If" scenario or alternate ending of the game where Cappuccino's nephew aka the DJ Bean turns down the music for Killer Bean's request from the phone call complaint when trying to get sleep that night. That way the entire game ends just like that as a massive joke that would've happened in the Killer Bean Forever movie if the DJ Bean didn't mock him over the phone. I would love to get feedback over this funny request for the game if possible! ^^ Also... love the game, I hope more content comes out for August, and hopefully Multiplayer with friends gets added soon, can't for this game to be big and hit the consoles!! (:

GTA KILLER

Killer Bean es un personaje que existe desde los años 90, y como alguien que se considera fanático del personaje, su universo y en general de los productos que lo involucren, puedo decir que este proyecto me ilusiona a futuro, pero me es imposible recomendarlo con todo y su rebaja actual. Si bien debo aplaudir las mecánicas de combate, el sistema en sí mismo no funciona, y el se siente repetitivo. Posees, desde el inicio, 4 habilidades que están bastante OP, pero que por cómo funciona el juego, con enemigos de poca vida que te disparan y te sacan también mucha vida, simplemente rompen el juego. Me es realmente imposible no nombrar que la habilidad ligada a la tecla 2, el "breakdance", mata a 3 enemigos, SIEMPRE que estén cerca, sin importar si hay un muro o cualquier cosa que debería imposibilitar los disparos que aun así se hacen. El resto de habilidades funcionan bien, porque o requieren interacción por parte del jugador o matan como mucho un enemigo. A su vez, debo reportar un bug en el cual, aleatoriamente, Killer Bean a pesar de estar en el piso sigue "cayendo", sin atravesar el suelo, pero haciéndome imposible moverme. Debo también nombrar la pobre optimización de este juego, que pese a tener gráficos simples y nada que se considere "pesado", pide bastantes recursos. En general, es un juego que le falta algo de trabajo en IU, pulir su sistema de combate y trabajar más en la jugabilidad general. Aun así, estoy expectante a las futuras actualizaciones de este juego.

I would give this game a 2/5 and that is being generous. If you're a fan of the movie and want to enjoy playing as killer bean, it is sort of enjoyable but the game itself is clunky. The visuals are good and the game mechanics are decent, but it feels unfinished. The story is maximum 2 hours of playtime and the mini game modes are enjoyable, but I can't imagine anyone spending more than 10 hours on this game. I logged almost 5 hours on this game and 2 of those were me being afk while I watched the world cup. In that time I was able to complete the full story (on easy) and try out all of the mini games. If this game was $3 this review wouldn't be as harsh, but after waiting for release and paying $15 I am extremely disappointed. The UI is absolutely abysmal and the game in general looks like it could have been made on Roblox. The shop is probably the most useless feature because there is absolutely no incentive to actually acquire money nor waste your time driving to the shop since the guns aren't any better than the ones you can acquire for free. The best part of the shop was the option to buy attachments for the weapons and the biohack that allow you to improve killer bean's abilities, but genuinely not worth the time driving to the shop. Also, the car was included in the game for absolutely no reason, you are able to play with the car for maybe 20 minutes total and it is never used again in the game. The game was buggy, buying the biohack + gun upgrades made the game 50x easier and the story was mid at best. I also hate that you could fast forward the dialogue, nor skip it after you died. Overall, I am extremely disappointed and would recommend playing literally anything else (unless you really like killer bean).

Very few games can really carry the title of "indie" with dignity, integrity and grace. But not only that, but the creator of Killer Bean, the movies and the game, has a commitment that few artists in his craft genuinely have. For that reason, it is hard to say anything negative about a game that celebrates everything joyful about the interactive medium. Yes, there are many things that would be unforgivable in a larger title with a larger IP. The game is crushingly hard, relentlessly unfair at times and relies a lot on trial and error, even with very adjustable difficulty scales and some surprising leniency compared to its more rogue-like initial incarnation. Many mechanics may seem underbaked and there is surely a lot of gameplay burdens inherent to the engine and the fact its mostly done by the hands of a single man. But what is it about Killer Bean that allows us to overlook these genuine flaws? Killer Bean, throughout its history, as a character and an indie IP, really has stood the test of time and acts as a testimonial to dedication in bringing something silly, but inspired to the ever cruel and judgement audience of the internet. The fact the game exists, it is playable and it has more content than most Early Access games, is proof that Killer Bean is more than just an idea, more than just a passion project by a lone man who wanted to share it with the world. When you think about it, Killer Bean is all of us. The aspiration to embrace tropes, whether they be cringe or silly or over done, in full fisted parody and endorsement for "fun above all". Killer Bean is a relentless embrace of a genre oversaturated with silliness. In its core, its enduring and light with impressive cinematic gravity. What it lacks, it actually gains. By discarding a deeper narrative, it can focus on humour. By unironically emulating Call of Duty Warzone, it in term, is a competent parody of it. By being Killer Bean, it allows itself to be a bit of everything, but mostly, unapologetically, itself. Killer Bean is in a language we all understand.

It's goofy and janky with some weird but funny glitches and bugs. But it's so much fun to run around killing random beans. Enemies need more to them other than being bullet fodder.

Cool little game but I'd recommend waiting for more and bigger quality and improvement updates before investing.
