Obey Me

Obey Me is fun and pretty reckless romp through the streets as you slay enemies, reminiscent of the Devil May Cry franchise, but a bit more simplistic.

When doing my research, I discovered that Obey Me by Error 404 Game Studios is second in popularity to Obey Me, an anime dating game. This Obey Me is about a demon hunter, Vanessa, who is tasked by her demon overlord to fight through demons and angels with her hellhound, Monty, to carry out a secret mission that ends up with her caught directly in the middle of the war against Heaven and Hell. So, slightly different than an anime dating simulator. While Obey Me has a unique look to it and is quite fun to play, the almost-obnoxious characters and it being a direct clone of Diablo makes this one...

All things considered, then, Obey Me is… fine. It’s not remarkable in any way, but it’s perfectly playable. Its take-it-or-leave-it story gives way to passable combat, set in a bland world. There are plenty of other games out there offering something similar, and doing a much better job of it. Still, at least here you get the bonus of being accompanied by a doberman from hell.

There's something about Obey Me that I actually quite like. Perhaps it's in the charming way this indie duff 'em up apes many of the qualities of the Devil May Cry? Obey Me is a trier, and there's something about cheering on an underdog, even if it means overlooking some game design missteps. If not for borderline unplayable frame rate then, this would get my recommendation, but as it is I suggest you await a comprehensive patch for PS4 before splashing your cash.

Obey Me is a frantic supernatural brawler developed by Error 404 Game Studios and published by Blowfish Studios. But with all of the alternatives on the market, does the world really need another co-op brawler? And if so is this one worth your money and your time?
