![]() ![]() That said if you don’t mind the samey gameplay you’ll probably find a lot here to enjoy. There isn’t a lot for weapon variety either so you pretty much stick to the same arsenal throughout the game. Some things do change up a bit later on in the game like a car chase part or falling through the sky but for the most part I felt like I was just doing the same thing over and over. That’s because for the most part all of the levels follow a pretty similar formula. The question will be if you want to replay them as I personally felt like the gameplay got a bit old after awhile. Each level also has its own online leaderboard which can encourage you to try to replay and get a better score. Things like how many enemies you killed, whether or not you died, how fast you completed the level, your combo count and more all affect your score. These scores are determined based on how well you performed in the level. Most of the levels in the game aren’t very long and every time you finish one you are given a grade by Pedro such as B for bananas. Flipping through the air in slow motion while blasting two different bad guys is really cool. When your not fighting the controls though the gameplay is smooth and fun and makes you feel like a badass. The game does let you remap them in the options menu so if the default scheme isn’t working for you perhaps try changing them up. The controls in this game take a lot of getting use to and I did find them to be cumbersome at times. Clicking the Left stick activates your slow down time ability for a brief amount of time. The L button is used to do a spin dodge move letting you evade enemy bullets. You can dual wield weapons and holding down the ZL button allows you to aim your guns in different directions letting you shoot multiple bad guys at a time. When engaging in combat you have quite a repertoire of moves available to you. It doesn’t take long for you to run into you first batch of enemies and start to learn what this game is all about. The overall story in this game wasn’t that interesting to me but the gameplay is really what this game is mostly about and that involves a lot of killing. The opening level serves as a tutorial as Pedro teaches you how to move, shoot, and slow down time. You are woken up by the floating banana known as Pedro. The game begins with your character passed out in some basement. Upon starting the game you can choose from three different difficulty levels: Normal, Hard, and Bananas. My Friend Pedro is a side-scrolling, twin stick shooter that features 40 levels spread across six chapters. It’s a twin-stick shooter sure but what gives it that distinct Devolver feeling is the fact that your character is taking orders from a sentient banana named Pedro. That’s why when I first saw that they were publishing developer Deadtoast’s new game My Friend Pedro I wasn’t a bit surprised by just how crazy the game looked. ![]() When I play something new that is published by Devolver Digital I know that things can get a bit weird and crazy. ![]()
