Freebie Friday: Star Fetchers

Every Friday you can find a free game to check out, courtesy of Gamer Reverie. The genres and quality will vary, so be sure to check every week to see what I've dug up for you!

    This won't be a series with a ton of pictures and explanations. Just a glance at the stats, a quick description of the game and its genre, and why I thought it was worth sharing (aside from being free).

THE STATS

Name: Star Fetchers
Developer: Svavelstickan
Publisher: Svavelstickan
Release Date: January 17, 2020
Genres: Action, Adventure, Free to Play, Indie
Available: Steam

Star Fetchers is a journey following two inner city thugs as they take on the hardest gangster there ever was. Star Fetchers is an adventure huffing on the fumes of 90's midnight TV, delivering a story paved with bizarre scenarios, ugly characters and high paced action. Follow the gang "The Thornz" as they crawl out of the slum and make it to the top.

Star Fetchers is a action packed adventure where the player will guide the main characters sword with his mouse and cut through enemies in adrenaline filled and aggressive battles. Use the sword and make precise cuts against foes, whilst you explore a decadent world filled with gangsters and low life.

Climb the ranks and become the most notorious gangster that ever lived. Battle other gangs, help out weirdos and learn the horrible secrets of the notorious demilitarized district "The Gray zone". Star Fetchers offers a bizarre story with light RPG elements and high paced action.

"Sects, the government, violence, weirdness, decadence, conspiracies, ugliness, cute girls" is what describes Star Fetchers the best.

The developers describe the content like this: Very violent. 

 

    Why is this a game I'm sharing? Well, it's free -- and it also has Overwhelmingly Positive reviews on Steam. This is the intended Prologue, and you can also wishlist Episode 1 (which it seems people are anxiously waiting for, having funded a Kickstarter for it). By all accounts, the story writing is good (and witty), the music is expletively banging, and while the combat is a little imperfect and clunky it is still engaging and action-packed. Can you really complain if it's free? There are worse games I have paid money for. The story does seem a bit wild -- involving gangsters and wanton killing -- but sometimes that's just the kind of game you need to play. Unwind for 30 minutes with this wild ride, eh?
