Brigand: Oaxaca is unique, it is more than the sum of its individual parts. On a first glance, it looks absolutely atrocious but this game actually managed to pull me in far more than other popular titles by major developers. It's just the entire package that keeps me coming back. This is an oddity of a game, almost like an broken artifact but still it's very memorable and worth playing. The game combines elements from Stalker, Deus Ex, Fallout and a bit of it's own. It blends them together and creates this weird experience that won't let you go once you really try to get behind it.

At start, you create a character and distribute various skill points or you can chose from a pre-existing class. You are being dropped into a post apocalyptic mexico but the entire premise is absurd, quirky and charming. In an old fashioned rpg way, you talk to strangers and get involved in some quests. Then the plot thickens and you get involved into more ludicrous nonsense. Honestly, I do not want to go much into detail but there is a sort of gameplay loop that is really addictive.

This game is hard, combat is extremely clunky and each area feels like a puzzle. Each area poses a challenge and you have to memorize enemy location and tactics. You need to explore every nook and cranny to get all kinds of goodies in order to survive. I really like this aspect, because the supplies are of essence. You increase your skills by talking to trainers, also the difference between low and high skill can be felt quite heavily which is great. You can even recruit other members in your team and control them like your character, each specializing in other skills, although it's optional. There are many elements like combat, hacking, crafting, trading, voodoo, exploration and so forth. The individual elements are pretty janky but all things combined create this unique mix.

What really draws me in are the quirky characters and ridiculous dialogues, the setting itself is quite strange as well. With each new area, you really want to see all the weird new stuff. As you progress, the plot gets even more ridiculous. It's just utterly fascinating trying to overcome tough (and often cheap) challenges in order to see how the story unfolds.

Another great element is that the game really encourages you to replay the game and try out new tactics and methods. It's almost like a Resident Evil/Dark Souls kind of deal. Once you are familar with the individual areas, you know where to get certain items and weapons. Knowing this, you can experiment around and see how well you fare with each round. It's quite easy just to start a new game.

Furthermore your choices have actual consequences, you can easily mess up relationship with certain factions. This prevents you from fulfilling certain quests or you have to find alternative routes to get to your next objective. It's interesting to see how you can affect the game world by chosing various questspaths.

Then there is the developer himself, which adds quite a lot of charm to this entire experience. He's fast and responsive, always on the hunt for bugs with the intention of adding new content. He's a genuinely cool and somewhat crazy guy. He helped me out with issues multiple times and I respect that.

Now, the store page does not give the game any favors but if you really like obscure and niche games, especially rpgs, just get this game. Even if you don't intend on playing it to much, investing some time into it will surely reward you. Even if it's only for the invisible mexican ninja killers that combust upon death, the absolutely amazing voice acting or the banana beer.

This is a charming albeit rough game, but I like those.
