Popful Mail

Product details

Abstract

You are on a quest to stop the evil Kazyr, Necros and Ulgar for trying to destroy Popful Mail's world. They once nearly destroyed the world and soon the Black Seal could be broken to allow them to try again. You can play as Mail, the tomboy, bounty hunter, wannabe whose weapon of choice is a knife; as Tatt, the super-polite, novice, magician with a deadly staff; or as Gaw, a flying blue blob with fire-breath. You're searching out the maniacal Muttonhead who'll give you answers into what you need to do to save the world. In the middle of the game, you can even switch characters, which comes in handy since your enemies like Nuts Cracker and the minions of evil will learn your ways and use them against you.

Full description

Bolstered by a ton of anime cinemas and an astounding three hours of spoken dialogue, Popful Mail is a fun side-scrolling hack-'n'-slash game with light RPG elements (such as armor upgrades) and a tremendous sense of humor. Players select (at any time) from three characters -- bounty hunter Popful Mail, timid magician Tatt, and nutty bat creature Gaw -- each with his own running and jumping abilities. Hardcore RPG gamers will be disappointed by the lack of hidden areas and by the fact that you can't gain experience points, but action fans will find the game infinitely likeable.
