NOLA Is Burning Reviews

I don’t know man…

Ecks Burtat Pps on

United States

I don’t really write a lot of reviews of anything, but I feel like it is necessary for me to write this review. First off, I think the game is just decent. It was a good time killer for me, obviously a great amount of effort put in and I enjoy the freedom it gives me, including choices that matter. But if I talk about restrictions, I will also include payments. I respect the developer or team that was behind this game and I also respect them earning money from it. But this was probably one of the games I consider not spending anything on. For one thing, the first chapters that are free are pretty short, with only around 5-10 choices in each one. If you choose to have it free, you need to wait 2 hours for 5 minutes of reading and choosing a decision. Furthermore the story sounds like self-insert fantasy and typical clichés that make the characters seem basic. Most of the time while playing, I cringed just by reading the options and the scene. It honestly sounds like this game was made by a 12-year old that wanted to make what they thought sounded cool. And I hope I’m not insulting the dev because this game is a good COG Lastly I just wanted to give my thought on how I felt about this game. I like the game, believe me. It’s alright. But it’s actually sub-par and mediocre I can’t see myself just truly enjoying it, at least for me.

Just plain awful

TalisRaye on

United States

The dialogue and attempt at lingo is cringey, the random cyborg leg is stupid, every character is a one-dimensional stereotype that isn’t even ironically funny, and exposition comes out of nowhere for no reason. The MC has little to no personality no matter what choices you make and the choices themselves don’t seem to actually affect anything. $2.99 is 3x too much for this crap. Hope this review keeps others from wasting their cash, excuse me, “juice” on this. Whoever wrote this should be ashamed it was published. Yes, that is mean.

Meh

Jadennikki on

United States

Love COG games but this has to be one of the worst ones Ive played over all. It was short, felt like the plot was bland, couldn't even connect to the characters, and I could barely get replays out of it. Honestly if it was free I wouldn't be mad but it just wasn't worth the price.

Payments and free things

Łôgàñ on

United States

I wish your games were free like they used to be. It was a lot more enjoyable than having to see “oops the free trial is over. Pay now or you can’t play anymore” it’s a shame and I really wanted to play the rest of this game but you make everything cost money

How can a game in which you can become a voodoo cyborg dragon be so bland

Magic Kingdom Zeal on

United States

Well, because the voodoo cyborg dragon route plays exactly like the plain voodoo route, the plain cyborg route, the bullet-shooting crucifix peg-leg route, and the demon route. Also because the hallucinatory barrage of text you just read follows a dead-serious gangster thriller. I can't tell if we're supposed to presume it's all a dying hallucination or what. What's the point of feeling remorse, feeling no remorse, wallowing in blood, avoiding conflict at every turn, etc. if it's just all going to end in a bizarre mishmash that sounds like a thirteen-year-old's ideal action sequence? Also, in order to get anything other than the Demon ending, you must choose first to go for the kneecaps when captured by the Pitt's men, then save the one choking on his sandwich. He will pass you drugs that will enable you to survive what follows. Having four out of five options locked behind a very specific sequence is... dubious game design. The good part is that you can select your gender, the Bull's, and the Bull's spouse, as well as what career you take up if you make it to Mexico - or decide to take the city instead. That was a satisfying ending. Additionally, the game subverts the usual Chinese-gangsters cliches in most amusing fashion. IF failure wasn't mandatory midgame (leading to the bizarre endgame), IF your behavioral choices made more difference endgame, and IF there wasn't that utterly jarring off-tone sequence in endgame, this would get five stars. Instead... uh... I rate it voodoo cyborg dragon/5. Judge whether or not you'll purchase this game accordingly.

Okay but not as enjoyable when it goes to second half

Vincent Luong on

United States

This is the second COG game I have played. I think this is not a must-play game. The story is kinds of strange at the second half and defiantly not as catchy as the beginning. It is okay to play with but there are other better options out there.

Amazing and replayable

Pkboy567 on

United States

I've played this "game" over and over to try and get the best ending. I love these types of games and I love the replayability aspect you get from these types of games that you don't get from books or video games. There's something about the hybrid between the two that strikes a perfect balance.

Weird

HiddenWolf23 on

United States

This game is just weird. I'm not used to stories like this.

Disappointing

Abby Lizz on

United States

I'm kind of regretting buying it, honestly. There are much, MUCH better COGs out there, and I would recommend most of them over this one any day.

Reasonable for publication

Unidraconus on

United States

This is another one of those app books that in the days of my youth would have been printed and picked up by me from the local library. It's good enough to be published and read and enjoyed but it is very basic. It's a bland story that lacks emotional connection to the reader and depth of character and atmosphere. Plus as with all choice games a short short ending. I didn't care enough to re-read the story but still have it for the next time I need a timer killer app to read. Ages 8-13 would enjoy this book more then most I think.
