Sure, stopping the apocalypse should be enough, but it was too breezy at the start to feel serious. Either way, they became more likable as the story goes on, which helps to raise the stakes. It could also be due to the fact that the game rushes the introduction to get to the actual gameplay, to the detriment of the story. Whether this is a symptom of Stockholm Syndrome or if the actors grew more comfortable with their characters as the story progressed, I can’t say for sure.

The Remothered games started with an entry that held real promise if the developers could refine things, but the follow up didn’t stick the landing. The weird thing is that it’s actually not a terrible idea. “We know how to do gore, so let’s do a more cutesy action-RPG filled with cute speak and a couple of sassy friends trying to save the galaxy,” must have been the response.
