Deputy Dangle

Deputy Dangle as a whole is like a good joke told too many times. It’s another wobbly physics game that doesn’t add anything significant to the sub-genre and the creative missions it has get played out because they’re too long. Combine awful PC controls, unstable framerate, uninteresting fourth grade humor, and game-breaking bugs and it becomes another indie game that should’ve only been an internal experiment.

    The gameplay is generally enjoyable, featuring inspiring characters, easy-to-learn controls, and fresh mechanics that keep it interesting.

    • “The mechanics work well, and I haven't experienced any game-breaking bugs or other issues.”
    • “Fun gameplay with decent controls.”
    • “Gameplay is often tedious or dragged out, with long periods of unchallenging tasks like long travel with a slow speed.”
    • “Poor performance wasn't a big problem overall, but I think that's due to the gameplay being very casual with rather simple requirements and lack of twitch reflexes, as well as the majority of levels being very minimal and bland.”

  • humor

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    • “The storyline is hilarious and it has interesting and unique characters.”
    • “Manages to be a little funny at times while not at all serious about itself.”

    • “Poor performance overall with good FPS in minimal areas but greatly reduced in busier areas along with hitching.”
    • “I ended up playing through the game on low graphics attempting to improve performance, but even then FPS was only 30-40 in the nicer areas.”
