Holy sequels, Badman!
Umph. I didn't even have time to share with you how great the second game in Badman series was, and the third one has just hit EU and US PSN.

What is this game about? The premise is similar to Dungeon Keeper, the great game of the DOS era: player is an evil overlord running his own cosy little dungeon and getting rid of those pesky heroes. But while the old classic was more about designing the dungeon and managing the creatures, this game is more about creating the appropriate ecosystem of monsters and letting the problem of heroes solve itself.That's right, player does not have control over individual creatures, their task is to create a living, thriving dungeon full of different inhabitants - think SimCity for monsters.
The second part, initially bearing a wonderful title "Holy Invasion Of Privacy, Badman! What Did I Do To Deserve This? 2", took away from me a good number of hours that I could have spent on something else. It is charming, with tongue-in-cheek humourous dialogues, numerous references do different classical rpgs and appropriately retro pixel art graphics. I did not finish neither part, due to rather steep difficulty curve and long levels later in game, but I did have bloody great time with it.
I intended to write more about No Heroes Allowed!, but unfortunately my new work is keeping me very busy, so you can have a look at the above trailer or read a proper review here, here, here or here. If you are able to read Polish, you can also check my own review on Polygamia. In short, I heartily recommend No Heroes Allowed! to anyone who enjoys logical or puzzle games, especially if they have retro tendencies. You can get it on PSN for cheap.
