Musicals aren’t exactly commonplace in video games but can this daring new indie title make them the hot new genre?
, and earlier God Of War games before they went all Norse, all use the characters and stories of the ancient Greeks. The appeal is obvious: their gods all seem to be impressively powerful, ruthless and debauched, while also being paradoxically human in their motivations.
The upshot is that most major scenes in the game contain a conversation followed by a song. Your choice of what to say is affected by an initial decision about Grace’s character. Would you like her to be charming, clever, or kick-ass? You’re allowed to add a second trait later, but for most of the game your selection means dialogue options for the other two personalities are greyed out.
So why doesn’t it work? Perhaps the biggest problem with a game billing itself as a musical, is the music. The technology underpinning it works seamlessly, with your lyrical and emotional direction blending neatly into songs as they play. The words and arrangements do justice to the sentiments you specify, but the songs themselves are entirely forgettable, with not a single hummable refrain in the whole game.
