Charlie Murder

No summary available

This game is a blast from start to finish, and best enjoyed with a friend. Strangers work too, and it’s worth a look even for the lone indie gamer.

Charlie Murder has flashes of brilliance, and flashes of normalcy throughout its very up and down campaign. Some aspects feel like the developers were just going through the motions, and some feel truly innovative and fresh. But despite the uneven feel, there’s a solid foundation underneath Charlie Murder, and fans of beat ’em ups will find plenty to enjoy as they bash their way through hordes of the undead while listening to a pretty kickass soundtrack.

Charlie Murder is a competently made and often funny brawler that has fun with a wide range of inspirations. But when you're not battling evil IT engineers or grotesquely illustrated zombies it can descend into a repetitive slog of mashing the X button, particularly when played solo. Dull minigames don’t do the Charile crew any favors, but the RPG elements give us something to fight for.

Now not all of your loot will be useful for you, but luckily you can sell everything you don’t want to help you save up for your next tattoo! Now well playing alone is great, the real fun comes when you take your character online. You play with up to four people, taking on the unholy, gathering rare loot and gaining massive amounts of experience. This is how the game was meant to be played, and it’s huge amounts of fun. And when you’re done with that, why not enter the PVP arena and see who’s the best?
