![]() ![]() John & Debra are clearly the favourites though as they are perfect for most situations. ![]() As such, they are the only character I actively avoid. Jill is useless as she just flops all over the place and usually bails out before the course has even begun and jack can’t pedal very fast, so jumps and obstacles become almost impossible when using him. One such objective is to die a lot (which you’ll get naturally), this unlocks the ‘Poop’ hat which you can wear proudly as you enter the next challenge! There are also some completely useless characters such as Jack & Jill – I absolutely hate these guys. There aren’t any stats given for the characters and there is no progression (which wasn’t expected tbh), but you can unlock funky new hats for them to wear if you complete certain objectives. Each ‘vehicle’ operates differently with characters such as your standard man and woman on a bike, a family within a top-down car, a hobo on a rocket-powered chair, Marty McFly, and more! They all have their own advantages in certain situations but they all share one common feature, they die quite frequently! In some events, you can pick any of the eight characters and the majority have a set vehicle class. The game itself consists of nine ‘challenges’, each one featuring around 6-9 individual events. It’s all very intense and quite hilarious. You pick one of the characters on offer and try not to get your head, arm, legs, or torso cut off as you duck under saws, near-miss log traps, and avoid handing spikes. You must go through various checkpoints whilst avoiding flying balls, spikes, saws, logs, and more in this crazy game! If you’ve not seen or played Happy Wheels, Guts and Glory is like Goat Simulator crossed with Trials Evolution. Okay, now the negativity is out of the way, this game is a blast to play! You’re basically taking part in the ‘Guts and Glory” game show in which you must try and make it to the end of a deadly obstacle course in one piece. I just hope the publisher helps out and offer support, maybe from one of the other devs they work with, so the level editor can be re-implemented into the consoles. I agree and I understand it’s most likely a big task. I was advised that it would be a lot of work for a single person to accomplish, especially if we were hoping for the ability to cross over mods and levels from other platforms. I have asked the developer about this, as it seems like a big part of the game and the overall core functionality to omit. Don’t get me wrong – I love the game and I’ve been having tones of fun (spoiler), but not implementing the level editor outside of the PC version greatly reduces the replayability of the game and instantly changes this from a must-buy title to a ‘pick it up later’ one. This means that you have eight characters and a bunch of levels to work your way through, so there isn’t a lack of content for a good few hours, but it’s missing the core feature that makes games like this a hit. However, the console versions don’t actually have a level editor. I fully agree with this statement and after seeing people play the unlimited amount of custom-levels on YouTube, and the fond memories I have of being able to play new levels every day in Happy Wheels, it backs it up. ![]() I’ve been reading through the Kickstarter page and this bit stood out to me: “ A Level Editor will be a core feature of the game“. I don’t like starting off a review with negativity but I feel I have to make this part known first as I was a little surprised when I first loaded up the game. Guts and Glory on consoles is a different kettle of fish to the PC version, which initially is a bit of a disappointment if I’m being honest. ![]()
