Bacon May Die

A fun game to feel like a badass. While at the same time taking nothing seriously. Better than Mortal Kombat 1 good game.

Bacon May Die?
Take a pig, give him a weapon, enemies and let's goooooooooooooo! This little side-scroller beat'em up game will take you a moment, since you can unlock lots of cosmetics, have some bosses, achievements and else. Let's check that in details.
You play a little pig in several levels, in different worlds. Each world presents you various enemies and you will see that it has its importance. But for now, let's stick to the level design. First, you have a tutorial, which helps a bit to understand the controls. Each level are then splitted in waves of monsters spawning on the left and right side of the screen/level. Then, sometimes you reach a "city level" where you can change your gear, buy new gear, heal yourself and else. Then you can meet the boss level, which will unlock the next world. Each world will give new enemies but also traps and some can even be used against the enemies. Last, you even have a level to practice against some enemies. If you have troubles with some of them, rush there to train.
Now let's talk about the gameplay. It can be weird at first when you start to play, because you character is moving alone. You basically push left or right to attack in a direction and also change the direction your character is walking automatically. You can also jump and dodge, which can help in some situations. To be honest, the way it works was a bit weird for me. The movements are not clear all the time, the way you swing your weapon, the dash when you change direction and else.... I don't know if the game was planned to be played on a phone or else, and the movements have been simplified for this reason but.... it feels a bit weird right now.
Something that I appreciated it the achievments. If some of them are "easy" to obtain, some of them will require you to think several times (or to look for a walkthrough) because they ask you to check the different aspects of the game, different enemies and else. For the achievement hunters, feel free to play this game, you can obtain some easy achievements quite fast.
The Pros
- Several levels
- Lots of unlockable content
- Nice achievements that ask you to explore and experiment in the game
- The game is free
The Bads
- Some weird controls, not easy when you know other games
Conclusion
I totally advise you to try this game. It's not the game of the year but it is worth trying, just to see something a bit different (mainly about the controls). At the date of this review (05.01.2024), some content seems to be under development so we can expect some news features for the future.

Very similar to the "Iron Snout" game. Cute but challenging arcade with lots of in-game outfits.

Fun game to chill out to. I remember playing this online as a kid, so getting to experience the real thing on PC is definitely cool. 10/10.

A very simple yet fun experience! The references in the outfits give it some added character and I'm curious to see what they have in mind for the weapons!

I like the fighting music more than the one in the Witcher 3.
The dialog is better than Suicide Squad: KTJL.

this game was my CHILDHOOD, and its as fun as when i was a younger, and its free! for the person who is reading this... i hope you also have a nice time playing aswell:)
