It’s a 2.5D game that pays homage to classic video game titles, both figuratively and literally. It does this with the concept that dull people in the world need to be made fabulous through fashion makeovers.
Only the indie game space could allow a game like this to exist. It’s a self-aware first-person shooter that exudes cleverness in its overall design and writing.
SLAYING FASHION CRIMES
Voltaire has denounced feeding on blood and has decided to sate his hunger through plant life. But, having been cast out from his home, Voltaire has to make it on his own.
WARDROBE OF WEAPONS
Gun combat revolves around a system similar to rock-paper-scissors. Some weapon types will be effective against an enemy type, while others won’t deal any damage.
This system works both to the benefit and detriment of Fashion Police SquadFirst. First, it prevents being able to mow down a horde of fashion crimes with just one weapon.
THE WRITING IS THE STAR OF THE SHOW
Levels are adorned in fashion slang, puns, and play-on-words. I applauded the thoughtfulness and creativity that went into this writing consistently during my playthrough.
