THE BRiLLiANT COUP

Endlich wieder ein gutes Point- and click Adventure. Mit Liebe und Witz designed. Bitte mehr davon. Kaufempfehlung.

The Brilliant Coup, is a point and click adventure game that really brings forward those nostalgic feelings in a old timer of a gamer that I am. I grew up with good classics, ive seen good, and bad games in the genre! And i enjoyed this game from the start to end. I got stuck a few places, and thank god for the official walk through, but im certain many others solved thos issues with ease 😂 Positives: -Good humor - Well designed character personalities - Beautiful pixel art! - Hard and creative puzzles and ofc some easy as well - Nice and creative item combinations - A UI that really takes to the good old classic games you are familiar with. - Did not encounter a single major game breaking bug! Did encounter a funny one though, when standing in front the bank, if you alt tab and come back after a while into the game. The trucks seem to reverse 😂😂 Negatives: - Maybe a bit short for my personal taste, was hoping for more stuff to do at the bank itself during the heist. - I wish there was more locations and more characters in the game - yes there was cars driving around at the bank. You saw a plane, and a team, but where are the people. Just random people (nok interactable one) to make the streets love up just a little bit. Yes this is nitpicking and not a issue with the game, just a quality of detail i hope can be added in the future or a possible next game? 😊 All in all, if you want a quirky, fun and creative adventure point and click game. This is for you, definetly worth it and you will get engaged quite instantly in the games story. My score after concidering all 7,5/10 Good work! 😊

As someone who grew up with this type of game, I have to say that I really enjoyed The Brilliant Coup! The pixel art is well done and immediately brought bck memories. The characters are funny, the dialogs aren't always “brilliant” but often make you smile. There are numerous references to the 80s. The story is really original and has some interesting twists and funny situations. The Brilliant Coup is an old-school point-and-clic kadventure that offers some nice nostalgia and is great fun!

es macht spaß ein Adventure das sich mit Verben wie The Secret of Monkey Island und Beyond the Edge of Owlsgard oder Indiana Jones Fate of Atlantis ohne das wie bei Thimblee Weed Park die Verben anders angezeigt werden als der eingeblendete Text aber schön wenn ein Charakter aus anderen Rollenspiele zu treffen war

Absolut geniales Point and Click Adventure!!! Love it!!!

This is an excellent old-school adventure game. The difficulty is very high, on par with Zak McKracken. The game resembles Zak in many ways, both in the character graphics, backgrounds, and settings. It lacks the ability to control multiple characters simultaneously, but it feels the same. In terms of story, it's more like Operation Stealth, with some parts reminiscent of that game. The puzzles are great, but very difficult. They are all fair, except for perhaps one, which required me to use a walkthrough. This was the puzzle involving how to get a transparent sheet for the printer. If you get stuck there, try using all inventory items on each other. But this really is the only instance where a puzzle felt to me nearly impossible to solve. All the other puzzles have hints, subtle but present. If you get stuck, remember: 1) Re-examine all objects and read their descriptions carefully. Sometimes they contain subtle hints. 2) Some situations change without warning, and you'll need to revisit places you've already been where no one was before, or ring up people again who previously didn't say anything useful. (Also, open containers that were previously empty, but this last case has a hint, so it doesn't count). This, if anything, is one of the game's few flaws: actions you need to retry without knowing you need to retry them. The second flaw of the game is that the main character isn't very likeable (but this is subjective). Aside from that, the game is excellent. In the finale, there are several possible endings. To succeed, you need to have done something specific earlier. But otherwise, there are no dead ends in this game. Other small flaws include the SCUMM interface being a bit old-fashioned, meaning it doesn't automatically select "use." What's worse, you can't use a keyboard shortcut to select "use" and "give," which I really missed. Also, the mouse wheel doesn't scroll through inventory items. These omissions are annoying but are relatively minor flaws. Also the lack of a pause button during dialogues is annoying. The character and background graphics are well done. The animations are excellent. The settings aren't very exotic, unfortunately; they're ordinary places. The music is well-produced but ultimately too repetitive, so I ended up turning it off. The dialogues are well-written, and the humor is moderately successful. Conclusion What truly matters is that the game is well-designed and very long. Money very well spent. This is one of the best 10-15 adventures of recent years. I'm looking forward to a sequel, but this time with a more likeable protagonist, like a James Bond-style spy. And with a more exotic, non-urban settings. Then we'll have an adventure game that could be second to none. Great job!

While THE BRiLLiANT COUP doesn’t allow you to actively plan the heist of the Arctic Star, playing assistant to Uncle Briggs is certainly a satisfying foray into a life of crime. The game is decidedly old-school in its approach, and still has a few rough edges left to smooth, but it’s sure to steal your heart with its funky music and loads of subtle animations that bring the late-80s British streets to life. And it definitely achieves what it sets out to do: tricking people to get your hands on blueprints, convincing accomplices to join you, and then coordinating them to do their part of the job will keep you busy for a decent eight hours of traditional-style adventure gaming. While there’s never any true sense of danger or getting caught, there is a point of no return that determines how successful you are in the heist. While I didn’t manage to get the most loot, I did make off with a fair amount and was able to escape abroad for some well-deserved time off – hopefully with more irresistible future targets still to come. https://adventuregamehotspot.com/review/3802/the-brilliant-coup

this game lost a lot of its appeal soon after its initial game play. characters move slowly. dialogue is boring. plot is not exciting. i dont know what it was about this game, but this wasnt it. wasnt charming, wasnt fun to solve puzzles. kept thinking it would get better, but after act after act, it kept getting worse. didnt even care enough to see end game. would not recommend.
