It's gonna take you back to the past, difficulty spikes up in your ♥♥♥.

I'd rather have a chaos edition, of Mario 64 to beat 100 percent!

I'd rather eat the rotten ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of EA, just to be a bit more potent.

It's the hardest game I've ever played, now I'm the angriest AVGN playing Nerd~


What I wanna say is, this game rocks like crack rock cocaine in snakes on a monday to friday plane.
Or just like a fresh Rolling Rock.

Angry Video Game Adventures is a overpowerful unholy close to unbeatable game. But the game's level's and bosses are rewarding when you finally get through that ungrueling level, Checkpoints or not, the story just spews AVGN and with some secrets and easter eggs to almost all the episodes. (one level is based off the atari porn games!) But the game suffers one problem, the death blocks! thankfully ASSimulation fixed that.

AVGN Adventures is a call back to the old NES kind of hard and slaps it to even higher hights and seals the deal with a whole lot of AVGN humor. It's a game which is for people who enjoy the AVGN's videos and for those who wish for a call back to old NES's difficulty. ASSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

a really awesome gem for retro game lovers , hardcore retro games and avgn fans

i really love than this game make us feel how the nerd feels on each of this videos lol

the game is a not very long but is really replayable trying to find the characters is a good challange

the music is great and the grapics are pretty stylish

the only downside is the esc buttom make you window the full screen mode and for a reason when you send a steam chat mensage during the game the game thinks you are still there so if you are playing better ignore all the chat your friends send you lol you dont have time for that

and watch for all the blocks on htis game

the disapiring blocks the blocks than have spikes on then and smile like a psyco and the death blocks

oh yes your worst enemy are this death blocks are wost than satan ...lilterally


anyway you should give it a try it worth it

THIS REVIEW WAS PAID FOR BY LJN AND FRED FUCHS

AVGN adventures is a load of bullsh*t made by the horrid game designers at Freakzone games. The nerd, who has slandered the very namesake of the wonderful and totally not sh*t studio LJN, has to save his friends. The controls are the second worst aspect of the game, not anything near the quarity of LJN's games (yes, that's an "R" in there, not an L). But by far the worst aspect of this game is the music. It's PLEASING TO THE EARS. Not only that, it's some of the BEST VIDEO GAME MUSIC OUT THERE. That's not what gaming is about! Gaming is about making a quick buck for a sh*tload of f*ck! I mean, LJN proved this logic sells before it was cool, am I right?

SPOILERS! SKIP TO THE NEXT PARAGRAPH IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE ANY SPOILERS!
The final level is based on LJN, the horrible.... um, I mean amazing game designers. Only the level itself is playable, unlike our amazing titles. No one will keep trying the games unless they can't do it! Oh and the final boss is the useless and probably unemploye- sorry, Talented and current programmer at LJN, Fred Fuchs. That's right. Current programmer. The nerd was so offensive to the fact that Fred had a hilariou...f*ckin did it again, proud and wonderful last name. So LJN decided to give him the job at the LJN level, and kill the nerd for being a triggering little man baby who dares to not like the new Ghostbusters because let's face it, no one is entitled to personal opinion.

Ok, in all seriousness, I'm not being paid by LJN. They've been defunct since 1995. I wanted to try to get a laugh out of you all. Hoping it works, but it probably won't, so.......

Joking aside, this game is a great starting point to the series. 10/10 control (not on Keyboard/mouse, but on controller, the way the game was intended to be played), 10/10 music (It's Sam Beddoes, nothing else needs to be said), 5/10 level design (wasn't a fan of this aspect other than in Thy Farts Consumed), 10/10 references/jokes , and 10/10 visuals (looks like the garbage that the nerd plays, just more visually appealing)

So the average score is about 9/10.

If you’re a fan of frustratingly difficult platformers, crude humor, old NES games, or the AVGN on YouTube, then you should check this game out. It pretty much plays like a NES game, though the graphics and music are *slightly* more modern. It’s hard, but not too hard. It gets easier if you keep practicing, and is very rewarding when you manage to finish a level. There’s also tons of references to NES games, which you’ll probably know from AVGN’s videos, and the music is awesome too.

My only complaint is that it seems to crash quite a lot, especially when I’m near the end of a level. Ugh. Maybe that's just me.

If you're a fan of the Angry Video Game Nerd then go ahead and get it. The game is challenging with funny dialogues and many references to the show. It has a pretty nice soundtrack and five playable characters from the show (including the AVGN). But I shall warn you... This game is hard as steel balls, not regular human balls, but STEEL BALLS. Have fun!

Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures is a 2D, 8 bit retro style 'torture' platformer. After a brief tutorial level to kickoff the game, it opens up to eight selectable levels. A few are far easier than others. There is a lot of parody going on here. Levels reminiscent of old Nintendo games like Castlevania, Metroid, Super Mario Bros 2 and Zelda 2. You'll even find an 8 bit parody of dirty Atari games. Once you complete those eight, then the final LJN style level gets revealed. It is all based on the comedy from the Angry Video Game Nerd web series that has been around for a decade. Its a good game that doesn't offer any unique features that aren't found in other Nintendo games. If you're looking for something fresh and original gameplay wise, you won't find it here.

The game plays a lot like Mega Man. Jump, shoot (with no autofire), duck and use a special item. The only difference is there is 8 way shooting like Contra. You can even hold the trigger to plant your feet so you don't walk as you aim diagonal. The items are few and far between. The tutorial level will walk you through all them. Glitch gremlin that I think kills everything killable on screen? Seven hours into the game and I still don't know for sure. Super Mecha Death Christ definitely kills everything on screen. Things like a rock that do little to no damage. Its just in the game so the Nerd can make a joke. The Nerd can even pick up a superscope weapon that does more damage, but one hit and you've lost it. A lot of times you'll find it in areas with unkillable enemies.

Even as a torture platformer, the game isn't that difficult. Timing is key. More than missing a jump, its missing a jump at the wrong time might get you hit and you'll fall in a pit. Each level is around 10 minutes. You have health measured in beer. Pick up a beer to restore your health. On easy you can walk into enemies with no regard for your life. Normal difficulty and up you have to have skills to not die from health loss. Each enemy causes you to get knocked back which becomes deadly if a pit is around. With that being said, the majority of deaths come from death blocks. Mega Man 2 had spikes, AVGN has deathblocks. These are everywhere! Some are in the ground. Somme are moving. Some are on and off with a timer. Some appear only when you get close to them. If you're not paying attention, to where you step, you're dead!

Nin-Toasters get used as checkpoints. These are pretty frequent. When you die, you respawn, but not after seeing a death screen with a randomly generated death phrase that usually involves an animal, a fluid and an body hole. You cannot turn off these death screens. It could be to hide a loading screen. You need to see it for a few seconds before pushing jump to get back to the action. Most torture platformers just drop you right back into the action.

Each level is pretty straight forward, but still allows for exploration here and there. You'll even find three extra characters to play as. Each has their own style and can be toggled on the fly with the shoulder bumpers. Mike has a high Luigi jump and can use a short range light sabre to break through walls that get highlighted as you draw near. He also makes invisible platforms appear. Couch Guy has a wave attack from his guitar that will go through blocks when the Nerd's gun can't. His jump is short, so he's better for SHMUP sections of the game. Finally '♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥' has a double jump and a short range arced attack, but can't jump as high as the Nerd. He's good for accessing different areas. For the most part, these extra characters are only used for finding secret areas, that have cameos from other ScrewAttack friends along with plenty of beer and 1-ups.

The enemies feel diverse, but there isn't a huge variety. Each level swaps out enemy sprites. High bouncing enemies, enemies that attract to you, wave pattern enemies, floor spikes that shoot up, hovering enemies, circular flying unkillable fireballs and so on. Each level has its own unique big enemies. Snowmen that belch giant snowballs. Giant turd balls that spit dookie at you in Hell. Axe throwers in the Castlevania level. Each enemy's death had particle effects that felt satisfying. At the end of each level is of course a boss, straight from AVGN's history of evil. Jason Vorhees, Satan, Dr. Jekyll / Mister Hyde, General Custer and so on. Most of the bosses just fly in a figure eight pattern.

Unlike most torture platformers, there was dynamic gameplay. Going from a platformer to a sidescrolling SHMUP. Riding down a hill one a dead corpse, streaking blood behind you. Hopping on a giant laser shark and tearing through lava. These were all a lot of fun to break up the levels. Even with each level having its own theme, there were things gimmick wise to make them stand out. The Castlevania level has a series of timed on and off death blocks. The dirty Atari level has bouncing platforms under your feet. The snow level had ice to slide on. The Zelda 2 level had keys to unlock doors. The haunted level has moving block platforms like Super Mario World and darkness outside of a short illumination around the Nerd. The Mega Man future level had timed laser beams and timed on / off platforms. It was able to keep the challenges dynamic.

It is no doubt a good game for fans that like Mega Man's gameplay. There are just little things that get in the way. The text box at the bottom of the screen with the Nerd talking is a distraction and obscures the action. In fact, the entire game is just a distraction. There are laser lights panning through some levels. Things flying everywhere. Even a vomit inducing waterfall ala Super Mario Bros 2. Half a dozen fireballs flying in a circle, bouncing on platforms, while enemies float toward you! Its all very busy, but that's probably to keep your eyes off the death blocks! The comedy also misses its mark, but I feel a lot of comedy games aren't that funny. Maybe its lacking the Nerd's delivery. Its just not as funny in text form when I'm too busy playing the game to read it.

Playing normal mode first took 2 hours for the first 8 levels and 4 hours for the final level. I sank around 100 lives just for the final boss. Then I discovered how to plant my feet by holding the trigger to shoot diagonal without walking. Normal difficulty gives you unlimited continues and 30 lives. I felt the intensity when I had died 10 times on a boss and I was coming to my final life to beat him. Easy difficulty gives you more health and unlimited lives ensuring you'll get through the game. There are higher difficulties, but normal was enough for me. I have a feeling you can complete easy difficulty in under 2 hours.

To summarize, its the best AVGN game you could hope for. Easy difficulty makes it so everyone can complete the game. If it wasn't for easy difficulty I wouldn't recommend it. I'd recommend it more for fans of old Nintendo games than AVGN fans. If you're into 8-bit Nintendo games, especially Mega Man. Get it. Also take note that 50% of players have the 100 deaths achievement. So does that mean on easy mode they beat it in under 100 lives or did they just give up and not complete it?
