In conclusion, Guard Duty is a nice throwback to the heyday of the point and click adventure. We’d recommend you don’t but you’re the one buying the game. We’re glad to note this was the case, especially given you could be done with the story in an hour or so, perhaps less if you resort to a walkthrough. This being a Ratalaika release, the trophies come thick and fast, but refreshingly you have to see out the whole storyline to get the platinum. There’s only one way to solve a puzzle generally, just the order in which you do can change around a little. That’s very much the exception we’re happy to report. Unfortunately until we figured out how to interact with items in our inventory, we were stumped for far too long on an early game puzzle. The combinations we needed to come up with there were hopelessly arcane at times. Thankfully the puzzles never get as complex as say, the Monkey Island games or Day of the Tentacle. It’s down to you and your counterpart in the far-flung future to resolve your drunken error. The net effect ends up being a thousand years of demon rule under the main antagonist’s dominion. At any rate, without revealing too much of the story here, a multiple scene farce unfolds. It also lends itself quite well to play on the Vita, despite the native resolution being three times that. On both PS4 and Vita you have borders on both sides due to screen proportions anyway as widescreen aspect ratios weren’t really a thing for quite a while. 320 *240 pixels is the same as on the Amiga you see, or in the case of those of us who had PCs instead, QVGA (quarter VGA). The graphical style might appear crude, but that’s entirely deliberate to evoke classic point and click games from the early nineties. He does a creditable job, it helps that his West Country burr works well in the context of the medieval town Wrinklewood.
Given this is an indie game you’d be forgiven that voice casting would be a little amateur hour, but the bulk of characters are voiced by Nathan Hamley aka Sick Chicken Studios. Never mind that it was probably down to your having been drunk on the job. You see, Guard Duty is a fully voiced point & click adventure where you have to unravel the mystery of who kidnapped your de-facto love interest Princess Theremin.
A little more expensive than the typical Ratalaika fare at £7.99 too. We have to confess being a little thrown by the 1.5Gb & 1.2Gb respective downloads for Guard Duty on Vita and PS4 respectively. In PS4 / Reviews / Vita tagged 320 * 240 / point and click / sick chicken by Ian
