In the past, when a game was made, they were often only one genre, familiar genres like hack and slash, role playing games (RPG), or platformer. After a while, to keeps things still feeling fresh, developers would mix and match different types of games to create a new experience. Some of these games are blockbuster hits, while others seem more like a jack of all trades but master of none. While Clash of Puppets is a mix of two types of my favorite games, it fails to satisfy either for me.

What The Game Is About?
You play as a janitor that fell asleep during a b-rate monster movie marathon whose dream then becomes monster themed. You control the janitor as you fight various movie monsters in various themed monster movie stages. As you make your way through each themed movie nightmare stage you acquire different weapons that aid with taking care of whatever happens to get in your way. At the end of each themed nightmare there is a boss battle, that leads to the next themed nightmare stage.

Who Is This Game For?
Clash of Puppets is for those that like a mix of 3D platforming, and 3D hack and slash. The 3D platforming part has you jumping around avoiding various traps or look for a key to progress. The 3D hack and slash has you using melee, ranged weapons, and traps that can be used in however combination that is most suitable for the player. Just keep in mind that both the ranged weapons and traps have a set number that can only be replenish by either finding ammo or making it to a stash point.

My Thoughts?
Meh. Clash of Puppets is not for me. I cannot point to any particular reason why, it is just the way the game feels. The game looks nice and has a theme I could enjoy but I feel the games falls extremely short. To add to why I did not enjoy the game was the controls. I could not get far with the touch controls and had to rely heavily on a game controller. Sadly even though I could play the game with a controller and made great progress the game was still not enjoyable for me.

In conclusion, in no way shape or form am I calling Clash of Puppets a bad game. This game I feel is the very reason why I do not have a rating system. The articles I write are for recommendation, for those who want to hear more about a game before taking the plunge and committing to buying it. As I stated before Clash of Puppets is not for me, however this game can be perfect for someone else and I hope that person find this game. Just keep in mind to have a controller ready, just in case. Let me know your thoughts on Clash of Puppets, as well as any suggestions that you might have for next time in the comments.
