Crush Your Enemies
Overview -
'Crush Your Enemies' comes to us from Polish two-man team Vile Monarch. Both devs previously worked with 11 bit studios on things like 'Sleepwalker’s Journey' and 'This War of Mine'. 'Crush Your Enemies' is available for Steam, iOS, and Android.
Video Review
'Crush Your Enemies' uses pixel art of the decidedly average variety. The models are generic, as is everything in the environment. The character portraits during cutscenes are a bit better. The good news is that everything loads lightning fast.
Audio Review
The audio has a similar production value. Music is sparse, sound effects are overplayed into oblivion, and there is no voice acting besides the distorted squeals of the soldiers and gibberish during cutscenes.
Final Thoughts
Vile Monarch’s Grzegorz and Kacper have done some awesome stuff in their career - 'This War of Mine' is a personal favorite. With 'Crush Your Enemies' I don’t know what happened. They tried to subvert the genre of mobile gaming and satirize the clickfest, and yet they just created what they were trying to parody.
