Each battle is a tough, tactical and turn-based affair in which the player party of up to seven characters faces down an enemy party of anything from half the size to two or three times the size. When I say that, I mean it went from me expecting to be pretty rubbish and hoping it would turn out OK, to me being surprised that it is actually genuinely good. Once you’re actually on the battlefield, The Dungeon Of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos is surprisingly competent. I certainly did, and I found the non-combat aspect of the game to be enjoyable in general as a result. At the same time, some of the voiced sections and some of the interplay between specific characters might appeal, so you’ll likely find a decent balance. Overall and assuming you have a relatively balanced sense of humour, you’ll probably find some of The Dungeon Of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos ’s script to be tiresome and irrelevant enough to just skip. Early appearances from a Gandalf-style wizard - complete with frequent references to being a “Conjurer of Cheap Tricks” - and a Strider-esque NPC who mocks our own party ranger are just two more examples. On the other hand, The Dungeon Of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos does a decent job of picking up on some of the sillier aspects of other popular parts of the fantasy genre as a whole. There are other examples throughout, for sure and some are more subtle than others.
The other characters in your party constantly berate them for these perceived failings (especially the elf) and I feel like The Dungeon Of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos would be cleverer had it flipped these preconceptions on its head with counter-stereotypes. Some of the jokes are a bit tired and stereotypical – such as the “bimbo-esque” elf character, who is blonde, dumb and seductively dressed or the bookish wizard, who is the literal opposite. The Dungeon Of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos takes the piss out of everything from Lords of the Rings, to The Witcher, and most certainly itself. Every aspect of fantasy and role-playing culture is put under the comedic lens for scrutiny across a lengthy campaign, and there are no sacred cows. WIth that said, the title of the game is actually a bit of a clue as to the self-deprecating, tabletop-RPG bashing humour of The Dungeon Of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos. Thanks to an already stupidly long title, I am going to go forth through this review referring to The Dungeon Of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos – Chicken Edition simply as The Dungeon Of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos.

In this guise, it is simply the regular base game plus the Ruins of Limis DLC - which adds about another eight hours apparently. The Dungeon Of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos arrives on console as The Dungeon Of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos – Chicken Edition. The Dungeon Of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos is certainly an exception, with a script that hits the mark as often as not, and an XCOM style backbone that works very, very well. Bad jokes, often in bad taste, and awful writing are typical of what I’ve come to expect from games, and in most cases, such games don’t have the mechanical quality to fall back on. Whenever I hear about a videogame that sets out to be funny, I immediately think of the warning signs.
