My Brute is apparently a port of the web-based fighting/RPG that is quite popular. It’s another of these social simulation style games, where connecting with other players helps you grow stronger. Personally I’ve never had an interest in games such as these. Maybe it’s just me, but spamming the web address of your created creature round the internet to recruit trainers, pupils, etc. is not my concept of interesting gameplay (and also the internet has ample spam as it is). Games ought to be self-contained and not dependant on gimmicky external factors such as self-marketing. Is it any wonder these games become ‘viral hits’ when people are spamming the praises of the creatures over the breadth of the internet for those to see, in an attempt to develop their character, supplying the developer with free marketing?
