DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue Preview

The guys at RunDLC have put together a short preview of DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue, the next humor-injected action RPG to come out of the partnership between Ron Gilbert and Hothead Games.

In the previous game, all you had to rely on were melee weapons and a trusty crossbow. While those instruments of destruction return, you’ll also be able to use firearms, such as a handgun, machine gun, bazooka, flamethrower and less conventional toys like an alien death ray. In addition, DeathSpank can grab a chainsaw and go to town on whatever critters get in his way.

As for missions, expect more variety this time around. One of them, for example, charges DeathSpank with carrying explosives across a battlefield without attacking anything. Let’s just hope this doesn’t result in too much trial and error; and painful restarts.
