\"\"<\/a>Humble farmer Fernando happily lives with his devoted, yet hot-headed wife Mia.\u00a0 But one day, demon girls decide to kidnap Fernando and try to tempt him away from Mia, but she\u2019s not having any of that!\u00a0 Mia takes up her sword and goes after those licentious demons in Wife Quest, a 2-D platformer with pixel art style graphics.\u00a0 It\u2019s available on most current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n

Mia can run and jump in 2-D fashion across several levels with a boss at the end of each one.\u00a0 She\u2019ll explore grasslands, a forest, caves, a volcano, ice lands, and the demon castle.\u00a0 You know, typical stuff.\u00a0 Mia can swing her sword at enemies to dispatch them.\u00a0 When she defeats a boss, she\u2019ll learn a special skill.\u00a0 She can use a shield to deflect enemy attacks, use butterfly wings to glide, a club for breaking walls, a tail for dashing, etc.\u00a0 These skills use up a magic meter that you can refill with crystals you find in treasure chests around the levels.\u00a0 You can also find coins in treasure chests which you can use at a shop to buy other upgrades.\u00a0 These include more hearts, healing potions, backpacks to hold more stuff, as well as magic that\u2019ll make your sword stronger and longer.<\/p>\n

The game has a few problems that kept me from enjoying the game more than I did.\u00a0 Mainly it gets way too difficult about halfway through.\u00a0 The controls don\u2019t help either.\u00a0 Most of the time they\u2019re fine, but I don\u2019t feel like I had as much control with my jumps as I would\u2019ve liked.\u00a0 And once you learn the dash move, the game just gets nigh impossible and very frustrating.\u00a0 The levels are also long, and while there are a few checkpoints that you can use to come back to later, I\u2019d like to see them more frequently.\u00a0 It\u2019s a shame, too, because even though this game is a bit naughtier than what I usually play, I still had a lot of fun with most of it.\u00a0 It kind of has a Wonder Boy feel to it.\u00a0 And you have to hand it to Fernando.\u00a0 Usually men in video games are depicted as being easily tempted by pretty ladies, but he never gives in to those demon girls and always runs to Mia whenever he can.\u00a0 So good on you, Fernando.\u00a0 He ends up being the most likable character in the game because of that.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wife Quest is rated T for Teen with ESRB descriptors of Blood, Violence, Sexual Themes, and Language.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t really notice too much blood here, but the game is a bit more violent than usual.\u00a0 You can swing your sword at monster girls and they\u2019ll fall over when defeated.\u00a0 But then you have an option to perform some kind of wrestling finishing move on each one that looks rather painful.\u00a0 I guess that would be satisfying for some folks, but I thought it was a bit unnecessary.\u00a0 Most of the sexual themes and language are in the text only.\u00a0 Because of all of this and the difficulty, Wife Quest is best for older players.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
