The location of the final Thong, the Thong of Peace, is still a mystery. The Thong of Generosity belongs to jolly old Santa Claus, while the Thong of Justice is worn by DeathSpank himself. The Thong of Compassion is in the possession of an evil nun, and the Thong of Cuisine is worn by a famous TV chef. ![]() One of six corrupted Thongs of Virtue, Sandy is on a mission to collect all of them together so that they might be destroyed. With the defeat of Lord Von Prong, the mysterious Sandy has revealed to our venerable hero the secret the villain bears beneath his knickers, and source of his corruption: the mighty Thong of Courage. Luckily, the gameplay was already solid while the plot and humor is really what drove the game forward, making Thongs of Virtue a perfect, if near-identical, sequel in every way. This should come as little surprise, given the short time between the games’ releases. While the story and world are all brand new, the core of the gameplay remains identical to the original title. Unfortunately, that also means that there’s very little to say about DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue that hasn’t already been said. But a shock though it may be, it’s a welcome one, because Thongs of Virtue is every bit as witty and entertaining as the original. DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue‘s announcement and subsequent release was a shock, especially when it was revealed that the game was actually completed prior to Ron Gilbert’s departure. The last thing I ever expected was to not only be hearing about, but actually playing that sequel less than three months later. ![]() With creative mastermind Ron Gilbert departing Hothead Games shortly after development finished, the future of the Dispensor of Justice was precarious. Now if only they would fix the crappy inventory system for the third, then DeathSpank might just make its way into my favorite downloadable games of all time.When I reviewed DeathSpank back in July, one of the things that I lamented was the uncertain nature of a sequel. This sequel seems better put together and has slightly more personality. Sure, DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue is more of the same, but when it’s more of the same amounts of awesome, then it’s a very good thing. Among those are tons of new errands such as posting eviction notices, recovering lost feminine products and fixing oil rigs. Some of DeathSpank’s old friends from the last game are back be prepared to kill the Gleem Queens, take readings from the Thongoloths and even collect cave crystals for the spelunker again. I enjoyed being able to run around and give enemies a fair fight instead of being incredibly overpowered or underpowered compared to them as this happened more often than not in the original. seem to level up with you and where the game thinks you should be at that time in the story. also took out a good chunk of level-grinding that was needed in the first game. Why can’t I just select it and hit a trash button? It would make things so much simpler.ĭeathSpank T.O.V. ![]() But I can not ignore what a pain it is to move around in the inventory screen and the stupidity of having to pick up, then drag objects I no longer want onto the grinder. I don’t mind only being able to carry a certain amount and I even overlook what a pain it is to compare weapons and armor to what I have equipped. Even though this game is packed with just as many hours of gameplay as the first one, and seems to be everything we wanted out of such a quick sequel, I still can’t help but be disappointed in the unchanged inventory system that is as horrid as ever. ![]() The same wit and characteristic dialogue is back as well, with DeathSpank still unable to say no to any one in need of help. Also added to the new arsenal are different types of grenades and spells. This time around DeathSpank can use a variety of firearms from pistols, shotguns, machine guns to even rocket launchers. New errands, new locations and new weapons are among some of the added content. Gamers who loved the first game will be pleased to know that everything they enjoyed about the first one is back and has been upgraded. In DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue, the mighty hero, DeathSpank, is on the quest of finding all of the missing thongs that have corrupted individuals across the land. It has action, personality and a lovable main character. DeathSpank has all of the qualities of a fantastic downloadable game.
