In the village hub between servant areas, gear can be bought at shops with a starting amount of treasure and breaks between defeating Thoth’s servants. Of course, you’re still at the mercy of the game when it comes to what kind of gear is offered to you. Which character you play may drastically change the equipment you look for, but each character is also quite rewarding to invest in. Finally, Pallentides is defense heavy and can stun or interrupt his foes with his shield bash dash and ultimate. Belit specializes in bows and can fire arrows as she dashes away from enemies. Meanwhile, Valeria does bleed damage with her dash if she’s using a sword and can do an area-of-effect tornado slash. Conan has a jump dash that temporarily stuns opponents and an Ultimate that makes his hits stronger and his dash cooldown reset on kill. All of them can also shoot arrows, drop bombs, block attacks, and parry enemy attacks to stun them momentarily. Each character has a special dash, ultimate ability, and various unlockable skills they can grab along the way. What is best in gameplay?įor the gameplay itself, Conan Chop Chop does well on the fact that its heroes are fantastically varied in their play. Even the Sand Worm boss manages to be a little bit cuter than scary, and this world’s areas, enemies, and gear are just chock-full of references to the Conan universe that fans will likely appreciate. Conan, his companions, and enemies all look fun and cartoonish in comparison to their grim and brutal usual selves.
It’s really fun to see all of the lore of Conan Chop Chop come to life in this new form. It’s far easier said than done, but failure and rewards to make you stronger for your next run are part of the fun and Conan Chop Chop has that in droves.
To win, players must defeat all four servants in a single go and then Thoth-amon. Players will face a randomized gauntlet of rooms featuring enemies, treasure, stronger gear, and unique trinkets before challenging a dungeon in each area where a servant awaits. Who hears the call of such a contest but none other than Conan, Valeria, Belit, and Pallantides, who jump at the chance for battle, glory, and riches.įrom there, players pick between the four warriors and are presented with the challenge of defeating Thoth-amon’s four servants in four different zones before challenging Thoth and Xaltotun themselves. And so, Thoth stages the Wrath-a-Thon: a contest in which warriors will fight through Thoth’s servants to earn the rewards of their wildest dreams (or die trying, much to his benefit).
It almost works, but too late do they both realize that Thoth’s catalyst for the spell is incomplete and Xaltotun’s going to need some souls to become whole again. Regular ne’er-do-well sorcerer Thoth-amon is up to no good, trying to resurrect the deadly elder wizard Xaltotun.
The premise of Conan Chop Chop is a simple one. Keeping that lighthearted nature intact, this game just might be one of the most amusing, yet challenging ways to spend an evening with friends in the Conan universe. A few years later, Mighty Kingdom has given Conan Chop Chop proper life as an up-to-four player co-op roguelite hack-and-slash. Once upon a time, Funcom announced this colorful and silly-looking game on April 1 as a bit of fun, but the crazed response convinced the publisher that it didn’t necessarily have to remain a joke. Conan Chop Chop is the strangest of things to see finally reaching its finish line of release in 2022.
