We wanted something like that. Randal's Monday is a tribute to graphic adventure games from the golden age, to the long hours in front of the computer moving from one side to another with the mouse, looking for that solution to an enigma that seemed impossible... The world of 3D ended up putting an end to a genre that shone with its own light during the late 80s and the decade of the 90.From time to time, titles like The Longest Journey have brought this universe back to our screens, but so far there have been few successful forays into thetransfer the more classic point and click format to mobile
As we say, the game mechanics are directly inspired by the graphic adventures of a lifetime. Pressing anywhere on the screen screen, the protagonist of the story moves in that direction. When interacting with objects, we have two options: if we press once Randal will carry out an action, while with press twice in a row to see the object in question In the upper right corner we have an icon in the shape of a lego piece that will show us all the objects that can be de alt with in a given scene.Undoubtedly, a very useful aid since it is common for things to be overlooked.
Randal's Monday is an excellent tribute to great graphic adventure titles like The Day of The Tentacle or The Monkey Island
And it is that one of the few buts that can be put to this graphic adventure is the little finesse when it comes to recognizing the touch on the screen. Many times you will have to click on the object or the answer during a dialogue a couple more times to be able to select it. Although it is not annoying (almost never), it is a bug that takes away some brightness from the final result If we drag our finger from the bottom area of the screen up we will open the inventory. From there we can use one of the items in some element of the game by holding it down and dragging it out of the inventory, or combine it with other objects that we have.
As for the dialogues, the voices have a very strong weight within the story. And no wonder. The cast of voices that have been selected for Randal's Monday is a delight. You will soon find yourself surrounded by familiar characters like Sheldon, Bruce Willis or Penny The voice actors do a really good job and help get inside the story In addition, humor is present in each and every one of the steps that we will take through the game, both in the conversations (the dialogues with the mystical wanderer or with the pimp inspector They are for framing) as in the resolution of the puzzles.
We are not going to reveal much of the story (small spoilers in this paragraph), which leads us to the skin of RandalA young hooligan with more flaws than face, and that is already saying a lot based on his actions. Kleptomaniac, lazy, careless, liar, unreliable… These are some of the adjectives that define him. It all starts when the young man decides to steal the engagement ring from his best friend. A ring that will push Randal to a particular version of "Groundhog Day": a Monday that repeats itself over and over again with small variations and in which He will have to deal with a picky inspector (with the priceless voice of Bruce Willis) and discover the mysteries behind the cursed ring.
A visually well-cared graphic adventure game that only loses some of its shine due to the limited animations that accompany the key moments of the history. Randal's Monday can be downloaded from the Android store for free, although after finishing a part of the game you will have to pay 4 eurosif you want to end it.If you are a lover of graphic adventures or want to have a fun time, this title is worth taking a look at.
