Old school adventure gaming fans are pretty lucky when it comes to the App Store, with a whole wealth of 1990s games being ported across, as well as all of Telltale Games's great titles. Fester Mudd: Curse of the Gold is a little different, though. It might seem like a relic of the past but it's actually an entirely original game, designed in a way that makes gamers think of the past.
Fester Mudd: Curse of the Gold continues the old school vein by not holding the player's hand. There's no hint button to tap in desperation, nor a glowing path showing where to go next. It's down to the player to figure it all out. Fortunately, unlike games of a bygone era, Fester Mudd: Curse of the Gold isn't full of obtuse puzzles, actually making quite logical sense. This affects the length of the game as experienced gamers won't struggle to be finished within a few hours but it does stop any risk of frustration.
As it's only one episode of three, Fester Mudd: Curse of the Gold will leave players wanting more. It's a fine starting place for an interesting and humorous take on an once adored genre, though, and one that's easy to recommend.
