Story Arc ID: 219484
Author’s Global Chat Handle: @jjac
Length: Long (4 missions)
Alignment: Heroic
Designer Notes: Some mission level requirements say 40-54, but the only thing bringing it to that level is the ally. All enemies are custom so even running it in low levels should be manageable.

Reviewing on a high-30s ice/axe tank, diff 2 so bosses is bosses.
DISCLAIMER - seriously, check out this guy’s other stuff, it’s top tier.

…yeah. Right from the start I can tell we’re in for one hell of a ride. Go go pop history!
In the 28th century, has Fishcake Ninja And Friends even finished yet? Signs point to no.
Oh. So this is canonically messed up. Alright, let’s have a look around.
My, that’s convenient. Okay, let’s see what’s inside this thing.
Oh, it’s that guy who broke that rock.
And then I see the captive, and the enemy faction.
Oh dear god.
The last room is about four separate kinds of hilariously wrong.
Okay Laz. I’m on board. This is gonna rock.

…yeah. I really really want to hear what the boss of this next mission says as he’s whittled down.
Wow. What are these things I have to destroy? I don’t think I’ve ever seen them before.
Also, all these lesser dictators look like Mikes to me. Do they look like Mikes to you, or more like Vegas?
Aw. No sendup of the final speech of The Great Dictator? I guess you’re going to be really tight on space here, but even so.
These transmissions from Lazarus are completely hilarious. Nice lampshade hanging there. No, seriously, I love it.

I… I just…
My mouth has been frozen open in a big grin.
THERE ARE NO WORDS.
And then I see the boss of this custom faction. I think I’m going to choke laughing.
…the debrief just makes it. It just makes it.

But all good things must come to an end. And so must this.
I want to get to the end of one of these glowies just to see what happens.
Aw. I was hoping for like a crappy souvenir from the future or something. for actually participating in this interactive fundutainment.
Ah well, no big loss.
A genuine description? Wait, this can’t really be–
Yes. Yes, it can. It’s actually kind of sad. Sad touching and sad pathetic.

Storyline - *****. Never before have so many things been so wrong, yet been so funny.
Design - *****. If you don’t laugh at at least one of the custom mobs in this thing then you are tired of life.
Gameplay - *****. Even on the maps where it’d ordinarily be a pain to find something, bright colorful particle effects light the way.
Detail - *****. Read the descriptions. Seriously. Read them all. The more you know already, the funnier they’ll get.
Overall - *****. All it really needs is the ninja’storm mastermind who founded the museum writing himself into history to cause asphyxiation-related fatalities.
