Super Daryl Deluxe
Super Daryl Deluxe is an RPGvania with brawler-style combat set inside of a perfectly normal, sprawling, multi-dimensional high school. Like any other perfectly normal school, its students and faculty are going missing and the classrooms have been locked down for weeks. Yes, there's nothing remarkable happening at WFHS whatsoever – just ask the new principal. Things are bound to get stirred up when an enthusiastic, bizarrely dressed new kid wanders into town. This go-getter's name is Daryl, and he just wants to make friends. What starts out as an innocent effort to help jump-start a young contraband textbook business turns into a harrowing quest through the school and its enormous, monster-filled classrooms in the hope of becoming the most popular kid in town. Oh – and saving everyone's lives is top priority, of course. No need to worry. There's nothing to see here at Water Falls High School.

I can't believe I didn't hear about this game until nearly 6 years after it was released. Super Daryl Deluxe is a ridiculous, goofy, surreal RPG adventure side-scroller. As a lot of other reviewers have mentioned, the plot and writing has a very comically irreverent, South Park style of humor to it. There were plenty of ridiculous moments that had me laughing throughout the ~30 hours I took to 100% complete the game. The combat is nice as you can assign any skill to any button. There's a decent enough challenge in combat and in exploration that doesn't demoralize you like Dark Souls but still keeps you on your toes. Just remember to save frequently, which you'll want to anyway since it fills your health. Some quest chains got a bit tedious with a lot of running back and forth, but no worse than things you'd see in other games. Honestly, the worst thing about the game is that there is kind of a small community - heck, there are no guides on Steam as of writing this.
Super Daryl Deluxe was definitely worth a shot. If you're on the fence, grab it during a Steam sale. It's sad this this game seemed to have gone unnoticed.

This is a well-polished Metroidvania that leans more heavily on combat than exploration. The writing is some of the most engaging and original stuff I've seen out of a game in a long, long time, and it will inevitably become a cult classic in 20 or 30 more years.

I cannot stress the amount of love poured into this title. Everything is so genuinely crafted in ways that are unexpected and hilarious. I would stress to look up as little as possible before diving in. And for 3 dollars you cannot ask for more value. A truly under appreciated gem that demands more people to play it.

A perfect, beautiful game. Buy it. Metroidvania build-a-brawler or whatever you want to call it.

Damn played it years ago but forgot to review.
It's hard to find a game this original, it's funny and bizarre too. The combat is button mashy but it's not a big deal since to me it wasn't the core of the game, which was the humor, story and weirdness of the game

I remember hearing about this game from someone else and I finally got around to playing it.What a fun, totally normal gaming experience this was. Something about how "dumb" the game is in terms of it's humor had me wanting to continue experiencing it. That and i'm always a sucker for games that give me a wide arsenal of skills to toy around with. I can def recommend this if you like "dumb" humor and rpg-like elements.
