Asmongold vehemently agrees in his almost one hour response.
“I love your videos,” the account wrote.
“When we signed the deal to make Space Marine 2, all I wanted was a throwback game.
We had the chance to work on something which by its nature was ‘old school’.
I can’t even comprehend many of the current games that we play these days.
They are too complex and too much of an investment.
“That is what we wanted to recapture.
“We just want to do some glory kills and get the heart rate up a little.
For me that is what games should be about.”
It’s great to hear you calling out the exact things that we intentionally focused on.
Eurogamer also contacted Karch directly, but has not heard a response.
Space Marine 2 has certainly received praise since its release last week.
Our Eurogamer review applauded the game’s “grisly” combat, but criticised its characterisation.
However, Asmongold and Legendary Drops praise the game for its overt masculine themes and for - at last!
- targeting a game towards a straight male audience.
