I haven't posted on this blog in ages. Though I hadn't played any games for a long time though. Hopefully I can start up again and keep this and my other blog content updated more frequently.

ANyway today I'm going to review a game called Bad Ass Babes!
The game is a side scrolling beat em up that features women wearing nothing but their underwear for the most part.

(Yes the options screen looks very messy)
After the intro and a brief description of the story which has to do with an alien invasion , you get to a character select screen and can choose one of two characters to start the game with. As you go through the game and beat bosses, they will join you and you can select them as playable characters from then on in the game. Though some bosses wont join you if you took a certain path through the level. The levels are linear but at points, a girl will show up and if you hit her she shows her boobs and opens a portal which takes you on an alternate path.


The characters are digitized actors and they look good for the most part. Each character has their own combos and special attacks. Special attacks can be done if you have enough green meter built up from collecting green orbs from breaking items or killing enemies.

Other than the side scrolling beat em up levels there are also side scrolling vehicle levels where you are on a motorcycle and people in cars and vans attack you. I didn't like these levels much because they are boring and its tough to not get hit and lose lives in these levels. Also no matter which character you pick for these levels, the sprite is the same so there really is not point to selecting a character for these parts.


There are also arcade shooter levels where you control a crosshair and enemies pop up on screen and you have to shoot them before they shoot you. You have a shield button you can hold down so that you don't get shot, and these levels are a decent break from the rest of the game and I liked them.

The game has gone through some changes in its short life. Some  bosses were replaced, then brought back but along with another boss , and enemy locations and frequency of appearing has changed. Through all the changes though the game has been fun to go through.


The game has flaws. For instance the story telling is horrible. Though the story is supposed to be cheesy so that didn't really bother me, but others might hate the game just for the bad writing and story.


Some bosses have moves that are near impossible to avoid and you can lose a few lives to this. Usually though once you figure out the pattern these fights get a lot easier.
Some of the sound effects are pretty bad. Like in the shooting levels when you bring up the shield and an enemy shoots it. The ping sound it ridiculous.


Those are small issues though and this is a cheap game so for the price and the amount of fun I had with it so far, the small issues are pretty insignificant.

The music in the game is pretty good. Its upbeat and to me it didn't get repetitive. I actually liked it and felt it didn't overwhelm the sounds in the game or distract me. It was pretty competent and suited the game pretty well.

This game is 10.99 on steam and I think it was even cheaper when I bought it. Its a fun simple game , but if you're offended by nudity then stay away because it has quite a bit of that. It also have an enemy that flashes you then sends out a giant penis to attack you.


I personally hope that this game gets a sequel because as cheesy as it is, its actually really fun and I have played through the game quite a few times now.
