I love the angry video game nerd, and his game was just as good as the show itself. I would have given it 5 stars, but after all the death blocks, it's lucky to get more than 3.
ehhhhh its a game i guess
The game is bullshit, but that's the point. Only worth playing if you're an AVGN fan.
wtf this game is so short, ends when it starts to get good
I’m gonna take you a little bit back to the past in 2013 to talk about a game that was decent.
I grew up watching a lot of youtube and of course a lot of AVGN videos...even tho I was too young for them back then. But it’s because of them I went on to have interest in retro video games and a better appeciation for online creators. Also it taught me how to swear and make inappropriate jokes so that’s nice too
Anyways the idea of a video game built for an online webseries is pretty interesting. Crazy how big youtubers can get to the point they can get their own video game! or in some cases a shitty movie or youtube red show.
there hasn’t been too many examples of a youtuber video games unless you count pewdiepie tuber simulator (anybody remember that game or just me?) Yet here we have a full on platformer in the style of retro action games filled with references to the show and references to shitty games the nerd reviewed up to that point.
it’s certainly a charming game. Or at least as “charming” as a game with gore, nudity, excessive cursing and shit can be. But it captures the exact humor you’d expect in a old nerd video with a nice pixel art style. Tons of callbacks and in jokes taken straight from the videos was very funny as a fan. Yet you really need to be a fan to get this. Sure it’s funny to me because I get it all but if you don’t get the context you are gonna be confused. Still from the start it was clear this was a game made for the fans so it’s fine.
As for the game itself it’s solid! Like I said it’s like retro nes action games like mega man, contra and castlevania. Run and gun your way through a variety of levels shooting any enemy in sight and complete simple platforming challenges. It feels like a bunch of other platformers stitched together into a textbook example of how to make a jump n shoot indie game. Not trying to be mean to the game but it’s clear it’s not doing anything innovative with its gameplay. For the most part it does everything fairly well but something about this game feels a little uninspired, ironic because it’s clearly inspired by so many things. This isn’t completely a bad thing but i can’t help but wish the game got more ambitious and really put together some really interesting stuff in its levels. Level design is fine but doesn’t do anything all that great. Can come off as a little too basic at times. Is it fun? absolutely but honesty I rather play most of the games that inspired it. As for the difficultly it’s novel but a little excessive. I get all the spikes and death blocks act as parody similar to something like “I Wanna Be The Guy” but they could have gotten a little more creative.
So overall it’s a fun charming game that will mean more to you the more you like avgn. It’s not a shit load of fuck and actually pretty fun. It just could have gotten more ambitious especially considering how good the base is. Great controllers and plenty of opportunity for more creative level design.
OH and the soundtrack is fucking amazing. One of the best chip tune soundtracks EVER if you ask me.
Tough for me to decide the score. Strong 3 or light 3.5/5 one of those
Also that atari level was gross WHAT WEERE THEY THIIINKING.
Also why does Angry Joe make a cameo LOL

What a shitload of fuck
Who knew that when he said he was going to take us back to the past to play some shitty games that suck ass, he meant his own video games as well?
Ba Dum tsss
No, but seriously, this game is more of a case of frustrating bullshit than any game the AVGN has played on the show. I get it; it’s bullshit because it takes properties from games featured on the show, but all those games are bad. Why the hell would anyone put up with a mishmash of them just because it has AVGN on it? The novelty wears off quickly.

The first high-profile AVGN fan game.
A really good retro platformer with all your 8-bit frustrations embodied and thrown at you in full force!
The more reason to yell the nerd's phrases at your monitor.
Perfect for masochists and classic Megaman fans!

The best thing to come out of AVGN post-movie

Not a fan of how this one played. felt. very cheap, novelty wore off quick.
rage game with some fun boss fights and character options
powerups feel good to use
its not fun enough to warrant playing on the higher difficulties though, beat on old school and that's definitely enough for me

Hey y'all, JonTron here, I'll remember it so you don't have to
A Hell of a fun game! It's for all those AVGN fans out there and those sadist who love games that are extremely difficult. Never got very far in it, however it is a hell of a lot of fun and I love every minute of it. You get to kill all kinds of monsters based on his show and those that had the description of the other creatures from old NES classics.
A hell of a game and damn difficult. I recommend this to anyone who is a AVGN fan.
Edit: This can be both fun, but also it is so very difficult too! Kinda like that game called "The Guy" or whatever it was called, but it's nowhere near as unfair as that game. That said, it feels like this game was designed to make you scream insults exactly like AVGN.

Short and difficult, though not as bullshit as it's trying to make itself look
It does its job pretty alright and catches the energy and feeling of the AVGN frustration in a single videogame greatly.
It does rely way too often on the bullshit level design on purpose to be more a fanservice parody (still fairly well done) than a proper game with its own identity (I mean, yeah, I know, it's technically a tie-in).

it's hard and that's fucking awesome
Baller soundtrack
This game is truly fantastic
It's a shitty game
A perfectly fine and charming difficult platformer, but in terms of difficult platformers, there are better options...
ASS
AVGN fanservice game. Decent platformer.
Part of Spring Cleaning 2023
Does what it sets out to, paired with the most grating, annoying humor next to Rick and Morty. Nostalgia may win over AVGN fans, but I guess I'm over this now. Paired with a "shitty game" that's filled with tropes, homages and equal parts frustrating and challenging, instead of satisfaction, you're left with relief that you never have to play this again. File under love to watch someone else destroy it, hate being the one destroyed.

I totaled out at 665 deaths, lame
It's kinda bullshit at times, random instakill blocks smattered all over the place
The secret character skeleton is pretty much required to beat the final boss, I guess if you're good enough you dont need to
A lot of trial and error which makes me glad I played easy mode, although maybe Im just bad at it too,
IDK it has that "retro" vibe that I dont like, where its more like megaman than anything and even the nerd looks like a megaman sprite,
its fine I guess but annoying

I know it's trying to be annoying on purpose, but really, it's very, very annoying.
booba level has boobs. Also nerd angry
Game is whatever but the ost absolutely FUCKS
If you thought you were playing some kind of crap, you didn’t. The game was created for fun and memes from the reviews of the current reviewer of old crap on old consoles. For fans only. And yes - THIS GAME REALLY SUCKS.
Если Вам показалось что Вы играете в какое то дерьмо, Вам не показалось. Игра была создана ради фана и мемов из обзоров ныне существующего обзорщика старого дерьма на старых консолях. Для фанатов только. И да - ЭТА ИГРА РЕАЛЬНО СОСЁТ.

I was a fuckin huge fan of this game!! I remember staying up late until like 5:40 trying to beat it. Good times.
Not a bad experience, all things considered, but aggressively unfunny. A true AVGN adaptation if ever there was one.
