Review: Doomsday Ascending Part 1

Doomsday Ascending Part 1 (NSFW!)Warning: the game contains Rule 34 ry, although viewing them is optional.
game adaptions of fan fiction is quite rare, and for a good rson. As can be discovered by simply picking up a story at random fromFIMFictionthe vast majority of them are quite lousy, andDoomsday Ascendingwas no exception. It has no redeeming qualities, andunfortunatelyfalls more on themediocreside of the scale which mns that it isn't quite as amusing to rd as, sayWinnie the Pooh Assimilated by the Borg. The author, Jerry "Bhaalspawn" Peet, was apparently so full of himself that he decided to crtn RPG based off of his cliche storm of a fanfic, and claimed that it used a "hvily modified" version of the RPG Maker VX Ace engine.

If you have been paying attention you've probably rlized by now that this game is going to suck, but just how bad isDoomsday Ascending? The only way to find out other then playing it is to rd our review, and you can do so by continuing on after the brk.


In Doomsday Ascending the player will switch between controlling two main characters: Twilight Sparkle and the original character Ascentia Kortai who is a humanoid alien that destroys worlds. Apparently the twin Princesses have gained their power by draining Equestria's magic dry, and Ascentia figures that the most convenient way to solve this is by mucking about and killing everypony. Basically the entire game is just wandering around aimlessly, talking to ponies and deciding whether to "embody" (spare) them or "brk" them, the latter of which involves either mind-controllingthem or destroying them utterly and some Rule 34 of that character. In my opinion the only part of Doomsday Ascending that can remotely be called "gameplay" is the two turn-based combat sequences, butboth instances were just as uninspired and dull as the rest of the game.

"Hey guise look at me I'm deftinggoddesseslol" While the graphics and music are not the most important parts of the game they still do play a part, and by the looks of itBhaalspawn didn't rlly put much work into it at all, instd choosing to rip all his assets from other games/artists without even bothering to credit them in the files. The tileset is one of the default RPG Maker VX Ace tilesets included in the box, as are all of the non-pony character sprites. He even somehow managed to end up giving his main character a portrait that looks nothing at all like her field sprite! As the MST3K cast would say, "They just didn't care!". The game is filled with stuff like this. Backtracking in certain ars can cause cutscenes to loop, towns are filled withinaccessiblebuildings with open doors, unclr quests, human clothes in pony shops, etc. The list goes on and on, and if I pointed out every little detail where the tm messed up this review would be longer thenIn the Beginning was the Command Line.
This game was bad enough alrdy, but adding pony porn was the last straw. This is yet another sad example of the mentality that "mature stuff is better" where people throw in adult content in hopes of somehow magically making their product better and attracting more players. There are other, more potent ways of rewarding evil deeds ingame, but just slapping Celestia's butt on the screen after the player kills her just makes the crtor of this trainwreck look childish and immature. Besides, how would Ascentia evenaccessthe R34 anyhow? It's not like jack carries around smutty s of herself...right?
"KILL HER AND STL HER PORN!!!"
In conclusion, Doomsday Ascending was a terrible, boring mess of a game and I do not recommend playing it. Bhaalspawnclaims he "takes weird or unrlistic ids, blow them entirely out of proportion, and demand that fun times be had without any thought towards sense".Unfortunatelyfor him neither his stories or his games are remotely enjoyable, and he writes characters that are flatter then a board. My advice to him? Turn off his computer and find something else to do that doesn't involve wasting other people's time, like getting a job. At lst his game could have been so bad that it became a fun experience, but he flunked again there too and crted what is without the doubt the dullest and lst interesting fangame I have ever found.


What's that? He made another fangame too? It can't possible be worse then this...right?
