The Adventures of Fatman: Intergalactic Indigestion Reviews

Fatman is the hero of the new world!!!

Worse than the first one, don't waste the space on your hard drive, even if its free and only weighs 500+megs.

I for one really like the new UI, however there come to be parts in this one and the first one where I know what I need to do, but the HOW is pure trial and error guesswork, it really slows down the pacing of the game and creates false length, a hint system or some dialog about where to head/what to try next would definitely be recommended to make these a bit more enjoyable

The Adventures of Fatman: Intergalactic Indigestion looks deceptively like a charming satirical/comedy point and click adventure... but it's not. And that's misleading. The game is only about 5 minutes long, and is pretty dumbed down even for a point-and-click. It seems a bit like this was intended to be a much longer game that was just abandoned, but dumped on Steam as a cash grab. Where the game might grab and mislead gamers is the cartoony art looks semi-professional and that might reel in some suckers, but thankfully it does seem that Steam reviews have done their job and warned away most gamers from touching this, and rightfully so. Let's get into the problems. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics. The game only displays in 4:3 pillarboxed aspect ratio. It's possible they developed this using an old CRT they found in a dumpster, or this game has been specifically designed for people gaming on PC's from 1995... either way, this isn't really acceptable in the modern era of PC gaming. Another problem here is that you can't alt+tab out of the game properly, another shortcoming that should have been picked up with even a basic amount of software testing. This is extremely frustrating in the modern era of gaming and it's a shortcoming that gamers are unlikely to accept. Pressing alt+tab causes the game window to disappear, but the audio continues, so you have to just go find the process and kill it. There's no way to re-enter the game if you alt+tab, so you lose any unsaved progress, too... not that there's much content to go through that you would ever need to save the game. Some of the defects in the game can be attributed to the choice of using the GameMaker Studio construction kit/toolset. This is a very poor quality toolset favoured by amateur developers as it's cheap and requires little in the way of development skill, but unfortunately has very limited capabilities. Just as you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear, you can't make a great video game if you use a terrible engine. GameMaker Studio is most commonly used to make retro pixel shovelware and cash grabs. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected in the general public reception. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 2 players. That's right, only 2. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 50,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in the game is to be expected. Gamers just didn't take this low quality game seriously, and for good reason. The Adventures of Fatman: Intergalactic Indigestion is relatively cheap at $1 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend.

Check it out folks, a superhero with a fat body type! Rejoice!

i review games on steam after i 100% complete them! check out my reviews to see all the games i have completed! the adventures of fatman: intergalactic indigestion is a sequel to the first fatman game, but this is objectively terrible. if i can finish a game, i usually give a positive review. if i can't finish a game for either technical reasons or, again, it's so awful i quit before i can complete it, i always give it a negative review. this game, however, is the now the second game (overlord: fellowship of evil (2015) was the first) i've given a negative review after actually getting 100% completion. this is way shorter than the first one, there's no voice acting, there's no clear concrete ending, it's just bad all around. i would give this a negative review even if they made this free instead. DO NOT BUY SCREW THIS DEVELOPER

"The Adventures of Fatman: Intergalactic Indigestion" is an absolute travesty of a game, a sequel that should have never seen the light of day. As a follow-up to the mediocre original, this title manages to stoop even lower. Gone is any semblance of charm or effort that the first game may have possessed. The switch from Sierra-style pixel art to a hideous cartoonish aesthetic is a visual assault on the senses. It's as if the developers opted for the cheapest, most amateurish art style possible. The gameplay is a pitiful excuse for a point-and-click adventure. Puzzles are insultingly simple, making you wonder if they were designed for toddlers. The lack of a save option is a sin in modern gaming, instead replaced by a primitive checkpoint system that feels archaic and lazy. The controls are a disaster. Basic commands like "use," "talk," and "look" are reduced to mindless drag-and-drop actions, stripping away any semblance of immersion that might have existed. It's as if the developers couldn't be bothered to implement a functional interface. At a mere 30 minutes in length, "Intergalactic Indigestion" is a slap in the face to anyone who spent their hard-earned money on it. There's no depth, no voice acting, and no meaningful interactions with characters. It feels like a rushed, unfinished mess that should have never been released. In conclusion, this sequel is an abomination that tarnishes whatever goodwill the first game may have garnered. "The Adventures of Fatman: Intergalactic Indigestion" is an embarrassment to the genre and a disgrace to anyone who dares to call themselves a gamer. Steer clear of this disaster at all costs—it's an experience you'll regret from start to finish.

The idea is interesting and the art is beautiful. The game is simple. But there is practically no game. I believe it is incomplete. The gameplay is less than 5 minutes. I do not recommend.

For a long time, I have only played TF2. I've wanted to play my backlog, but always I'm frozen by choice. Finally, I found a way, I will play them A - Z. So, How does this game hold up? This is the sequel to The Adventures of Fatman, a 2003 point and click adventure that plays in the spirit of the classics. That game was not quite a hidden gem, but still worth playing for $0.99. This game, on the other hand, is a different story. First of all, this is not a point and click adventure, it's a drag and drop adventure pretending to be point and click. It's extraordinarily short (if you know what you're doing, you could finish in under an hour) but at the same time could give the illogical leaps required in the classics a run for their money. With that being the weakest quality of classic point and click adventures, that's not a good quality. The voice acting is gone, and the art style has changed (for better or worse depending on your taste). Truth be told, I would recommend anyone to give this game a pass, even at $0,99.

Sorry, but no. I enjoyed the first Fatman game, but this is nothing like it: - It is smaller. Much smaller than the first. - It has no speech. (The first one had) - It is NOT point & click. It is purely drag & drop, which is, well... a drag. - It is not a complete story. At some point you return to the fatcave to get some paperwork for a new member and... game over. Yes, the cost is minimal, but at the same price the first Fatman offers much, much more. It should be given as a free prologue to a series of episodes that will never come. Of course I condemn episodic releases, for that reason exactly: Some (many) of them remain unfinished, and the people who invested time and money to them feel robbed
