I remember reading the comics as a kid in France ☺️ good times
Naheulbeuk was originally a kind of parody. Think Critical Role, but where nothing is taken seriously. It became such a hit that it begat a whole range of merchandising.
For anyone interested, a lot of the odd mix of humor and weird 4th-wall-breaking elements come straight from the game's origins as a French comedic audio drama created by a band of musician/comedians that has since been adapted to comics, books, and now a game!
Well, I must say, if there was a thing I never expected an American website to cover, it's the Donjon de Naheulbeuk. That IP has a long history – it started as a series of French audio comedy sketch that were aping the style of French-Canadian comedian François Pérusse and applying it to a DnD parody. It started back in the early-to-mid noughties. It's thus bizarre, but refreshing, to hear the thoughts of someone who doesn't know jacksquat about it
"The game will routinely screw you over with critical failure or unlucky circumstances"
This tagline can be applied to every x-com or similar game EVER.
Jesus. Yeah, not touching this with a billion lightyear pole.
There is option to mute dwarf and elf.
"Chaussette !"
You can never have too many F-Bombs.
Talk about not doing your research…
They technically don't have names. the ranger gets the name orcarm and the barbarian takes the name taurok cause he thinks his true name is dumb. also the elf is named Selenia because of nobility thingies
This comment section is going to turn into a french meet'n'greet 🙂
Coucou à tous/tes mes compatriotes!
You know, sometimes I miss that "HA!" that was at the beginning of The Escapist videos. Or was that only for Unskippable? I can't remember.
Damn, this shit was my childhood
I reeeally wanted to like this game, but it came off as really generic and the antiquated tutorial style bored me to tears.
Great review!
Let's hope this comes to Game Pass.
oh look, a stripped down divinity 2: original sin
It would be amusing if the "dumb blonde" was voiced by a beefy guy while the orc was voiced by a woman, etc, etc mixing up the voices like a real D&D campaign. Given the game is already going for laughs it would just be a fun meta-layer.
I played the limited time demo they had released and never finished it because of that 'enemy never takes his turn' bug. I left the computer running for a couple hours hoping it might choke through, but no luck. The demo had to be played all at once and I didn't feel like starting over again. It's a shame they didn't hammer that one out. I will definitely go on a wait and see mode now.
Nicer review, but sadly you talk too fast for me.

C'est vrai !
So, it's been released despite being riddled with mistakes, errors and unchecked bugs…. sounds about right for the current market.
it sounds fun they just need to figure out the bugs I will come back later to check it out
Nice!
Je suis nyctalope
Youdefintiely have to know about the IP from before to enjoy it to the fullest. It is not a strategy game themed in a med fan genre, it is a Neheulbeuk story with a little bit of strategy gaming around. The humour and particularly the team as set here is key to the whole story. If you are after pure turn-based strategy, better get xcom 2 or something similar. If you want to enjoy this one, you'd better run it in French to really get the bulk of the jokes. The translators did well, but it is waaaaaay better in French.
Orktoberfeast and Dark Maidens of Doom Concert actually made me laugh a lot. Love this game.
A marriage between Grotesque Tactics with Xcom and Divinity Original Sin.
Tactic system is one of the best so far in fantasy tactic genre.
The rest is OK, but the gameplay is so sloooooow it took me 50 hours to bet it on nightmare.
Everything in this game take so ling time to do, even the loading screen!
Been playing it. I can say sometimes the AI takes longer than expected to end their turn, but the majority of bugs and unnamed item issues seem to be squashed. Game isn't for everyone, but it's been fun for me.
