Causal game



Casual game

I am actually a causal gamer and I don’t commit myself to complete every single game I play. Anyway, few months ago I decided to buy One Finger Death Punch. A game created by Silver Dollar games. 


Honestly, this game is not extremely popular, thus not much people are familiar with this game. So a very quick intro..One Finger Death Punch is falls under the category of Action game and guess what? The mechanic of the game only consists of two buttons. Basically, when your enemies appear on left or right side, you just need to hit the button accordingly. If you try to button smash or spam by clicking randomly, you end up getting injured. 



For the challenges, there are different types of enemies as you go pass to higher levels. Different enemies require different number of times you are required to attack. The best part of attacking enemies is that it comes along with a coloured indication on how many attacks It requires for you to hit the button.


There also challenges in other forms. Enemies throw weapons at you and you have to click on time to throw back the weapon to them, there is “One life” round, where you have to attack the listed number of enemies to win the round.  All these challenges make the game interesting.



The artworks are quite decent, but players play as a stick-man attacking a whole bunch of stick-man. Animation is pretty good enough for me. One top of all these, players are given skills to unlock. Players are only allowed to choose three skills which allows you to be powerful than the previous state.



To think about it, I like this game a lot because I feel that they have really made good use of the two button mechanic. I mean if I stopped playing this game and wanted to play it again, I wouldn't need to worry about the game controls because it is so straightforward.  I just feel the games should be like this.  The easy mechanics in the game allows players to pick it up and start playing it. One Button Death punch would definitely be a game that I would love to complete.
