Sunday Gold - Review

Review for Sunday Gold

It might seem strange, at first, to see a graphic adventure game published by Team 17. As a developer, they're most known for the Worms series, and as a publisher, their catalog is almost entirely action games, not plot-heavy, puzzle-solving point-and-clicks. However, when you start playing the genre mash-up, high-octane heist game Sunday Gold, you can immediately see how easily it fits in.

Sunday Gold is a turn-based point-and-click adventure game, which may be a hard combination to picture before you play it. Before I explain the story, I want to lay out what it feels like to play the game. Developer BKOM Studios borrows many mechanics from tactical strategy games to build a unique, kinetic framework that brings something entirely new, yet eerily natural to the genre. Similar to games like X-COM or Advance Wars, your character has a certain number of Action Points to use each “turn.” This game has combat, in which the system works just how you'd expect: Your character doesn't move, but uses their points to attack, guard, or execute a special ability. Once they run out, you end your turn and hope for the best as it's time for the enemies to attack. Outside of combat, the same idea applies: You use your points to do complex actions like searching through a container or talking to someone who might be hostile to you. When you run out of points, you end your turn and time moves forward.

[...]

Our Verdict:
Sunday Gold is a bold, flashy experiment, merging a point-and-click adventure game with heavy tactical RPG elements. Kinetic, beautiful, and bursting with character, it serves up a brand new way to look at the adventure game genre.

Score: 4.5/5

Experience a unique hybrid of escape room style puzzles, turn-based combat, and RPG mechanics tied together with a dark and cinematic storyline.

Delve into the dark underbelly of near-future London
Once bustling and full of life, the city of London is in a dark and dismal state. Unemployment and homelessness are at an all-time high. Ethical boundaries are being stretched to their limit and corrupt billionaire, Kenny Hogan, is up to no good.

It’s up to ragtag band of criminals Frank, Sally, and Gavin, to put a wrench in Kenny Hogan’s plans and bring him to his knees. But this is no simple job and there’ll be a smattering of obstacles they’ll have to face along the way…

Lose yourself in a dark and dystopian story
Immerse yourself in a gritty and graphic world with a storyline narrated by fully voice-acted characters. Experience stunningly hand-drawn environments, 2D cinematics and comic book inspired sequences as well as cliff hangers that will keep you on your toes.

Puzzles that will get you scratching your noggin
Explore each room and solve a combination of observation, deduction, and inventory puzzles to progress on your mission. Hunt for clues, hack terminals, bust down a door (or two) and test your wits in mini game challenges unique to each “hero”.

Stylish turn-based combat inspired by comic books

Sunday Gold - Review @ PC Gamer

by Hiddenx, 08:21

PC Gamer has reviewed the Adventure RPG Sunday Gold:

Sunday Gold Review

A point-and-click adventure/RPG hybrid where you really can't just click on everything. 

The trend in newer RPGs (I'm thinking Pillars of Eternity, Divinity: Original Sin 2) is to bring you back to full health between fights so that you can focus on the tactical minutia of each battle. Sunday Gold will have none of that. Its three chapter-heists are a war of attrition. You'll manage party members' health, stress, action points, and consumables, solve classic point and click adventure item gathering puzzles, and battle corporate security without any real breaks. It's like someone jammed an old school, hardcore RPG into a Sierra adventure. While the battles themselves are just ok, the puzzle-solving benefits from the constraints and added intensity of managing dwindling resources.

[...]

Sunday Gold didn't set my mind on fire like those artsy fartsy RPG/adventure game hybrids, but it makes up for it with honest, lunch pail, hardcore resource management. 

Score: 81/100
