The Sewer Goblet: The Wu-Tang Clan and the Wu-Tang Baby

Yeah, torture motherfucka what?

From the mad minds behind Barkley, Shut up and Jam: Gaiden comes an all-new adventure – The Sewer Goblet: The Wu-Tang Clan and the Wu-Tang Baby! As the story goes, The Wizard stole the Wu-Tang Baby and fled into the sewers. You must send one of the Wu-Tang Clan into the dungeon and bring the baby back! Along the way you’ll tangle with Teknodwarfs, Baby Seals, and other unsavory characters.

The Sewer Goblet gets a lot of credit as the first rap-themed roguelike game, but doesn’t do too much to innovate the genre in general. Equip weapons, learn spells, manage your hunger (in TSG, every action costs hunger points), eat Wu-Tang snacks with randomized effects, etc. Not that this is necessarily a bad thing – it’s a solid dungeon crawl that’s easy to get into and somehow it never quite gets tiring bringing “da ruckus” as the Wu Tang Clan. Each member has his own special abilities that will aid you on your quest.

Now, all someone has to do is make a gory Bone Thugs-n-Harmony RPG set in an alternate reality Cleveland and I’ll be set!

just to let you know that this isn’t a full game, it’s just a demo made for a competition we had over at gaming world. tales of games have a lot more planned for this so watch out for the polished version.

This game is great, the level files are easy to see how to edit (though I have not tried), you can add more snacks, monsters and weapons but spells and stuff are not editable. Also you cannot change the main peoples weapons or main spell which is why it says do not change the order.

Awesome, totally awesome. A rap themed rouguelike, with good rappers! Shame it’s so generic, it’d be cool to see a game where rhymes would be your magic system. Like the battles from the Deltron 3030 album, by Del Tha Funkee Homosapien’s group.

You mean, other than the fact that these settings are not condusive to RPGs and that the idea of Rogue-likes AND RPGs is to provide a sense of removal? I really feel like I’m playing something when I’m playing these games, and not wisked off to some different world…Gaiden was close, but it seemed too over the top.
