The story is not original-grim and serious, but humorous and ironic-classic. Between levels expect cutscenes.
Tiger & Chicken has more depth and complexity than the usual-stupid Tontaubenschiessen which one is used to grouse. The game is very action, and combat-heavy. In these battles you gain experience, grow stronger and can his talent points spread (attack, defense etc.). This Belohungssystem is motivating and can be addictive. Motivating is also the fact that you can save his money to interressante, but expensive to buy artifacts such as a strong sword with special properties. The defeated enemy (there are many types of monsters) left belongings to the sometimes (annoyingly) does not approach because they plant land behind trees. At the end of each level, when all monsters are defeated, you have to tough boss fights consist (Upper Monster defeat).
A store at any location is not possible, it is necessary to seek special shrines that also allow the action (purchase / sale of weapons, potions and artifacts).
Who found as a newcomer to this game taste and feel as Chosen, who is called for higher duties, which was the grandiose Torchlight 2 recommended. For me it's the best action RPG. In hardcore mode, it offers indescribable thrill and addictive (Hardcore mode = death is definitely a resurrection is reloading or no longer possible)
Conclusion: As an introduction to the Hack & Slay Genre Tiger & Chicken is perfect ... there is no better and the price - performance ratio is good.
