Abe’s Exoddus is the second in the series of four games.
If you don’t know what the series is about let me give you a short recap.
Abe is a Mudokon (basically a little blue or green creature with a strange posture).
The Mudokons is being discriminated and used as slaves by the
evil Glukkons. In Exoddus the Glukkon company, SoulStorm has started to mine
for Mudokon bones in their city of the dead, Necrum. Mudokon bones are the essential
ingredients in the SoulStorm Brew, which is an addictive brew that is quite
popular.
To mine the bones the company use Mudokon slaves. Of course
this is outrageous and something has to be done, it’s up to Abe to fix
it. So the game finally begins after a complicated but nevertheless imaginative
story.
Abe’s Exoddus is made as a platform game. Your main objective
is to rescue the slaves by talking and interacting with them. But you also have
to give them orders to get through certain levels, so there are some puzzle
elements.
Interaction with the slaves is pretty easy. Usually you just
ask them to follow you, sometimes you have to comfort them and then as them.
In other cases laughing gas is released, which make the Mudkons delirious, the
only solution is to slap them back to their senses. You will also interact with
other creatures such as Scrabs and the evil Glukkons, usually to do your dirty
work.
Between each level cut scenes are presented in the usual order.
The game really makes you feel like you are sitting and watching a movie, and
it could just as easily have been one of those 3D rendered movies.
The graphics in the game are actually quite beautiful, everything
is 3D rendered complete with different lightning effects. I really love the
backgrounds and environments, which is really detailed and nice.
I usually don’t complain about stories because I think
games should have a well-written story. But I think the story in Abe’s
Exoddus is too complicated for the player to grasp. However the game play and
graphics is great so it will get 8 points anyway.
