好游戏. Underdog Detective is a good FMV game with high production value, great acting and an engaging detective story set in China's Wu Zhou dynasty. The English translation is sufficient but needs improvement to rise to the same level of quality. The base game is pretty short and only covers episodes 1 to 5; I finished episode 3 within an hour. I like the reflection system but would have loved to see more puzzles, more complexity and on the whole more interactivity with the player. Still, for every minute of playing Underdog Detective I've been incredibly entertained - so much so that I felt compelled to buy the DLC with episodes 6-17. Well done to the dev team! I hope that devs and publishers of high quality Chinese FMV games will become more aware of their potential market in Western countries and spend more time and effort in making their products available to us, especially with regard to proper translation, so that more people can enjoy them. Edit: There were plans for a part 2 but this sequel seems to have been cancelled. Regrettably we'll never find out what happens after the cliffhanger at the end of part 1.

Rating: 4.5/5 "Underdog Detective" transports you to the vibrant and tumultuous world of ancient China under the reign of Empress Wu Zetian, offering an engaging blend of humor, mystery, and historical intrigue. Here's why this game stands out: Narrative and Setting: Set in the imperial capital of Luoyang, the game's story starts with you, a clever slum dweller with a knack for antiques and magical arts, thrust into a web of conspiracies. The narrative is both thrilling and comedic, providing a fresh take on detective games with its unique setting and character development. The adaptation from the popular Chinese TV series "Luoyang" adds layers to the storyline, making it appealing to both fans of the series and newcomers. Gameplay: Puzzles and Traps: The game does an excellent job with its puzzles, which are challenging yet fair. They require not just logic but also an understanding of the game's lore, enhancing immersion. Quick Time Events (QTEs): These add a dynamic layer to the gameplay, making each action feel impactful. The QTEs are well-executed, providing a cinematic feel to crucial moments in the story. Reflection System: This innovative feature allows players to piece together clues in a visual manner, making detective work not only fun but also creatively stimulating. It's a standout mechanic that differentiates "Underdog Detective" from other narrative-driven games. Visuals and Audio: The first-person perspective immerses you into the ancient world of Luoyang with stunning visuals that bring the bustling, chaotic city to life. The soundtrack complements the game's mood excellently, switching from light-hearted to intense as the narrative demands. Decision Making: Your choices genuinely shape the game's outcome, offering multiple endings that encourage replayability. The game's moral and strategic dilemmas are well-crafted, making you feel like your decisions have weight and consequence. Critiques: Some might find the humor doesn't always land due to cultural nuances, which can slightly detract from the experience for non-Chinese audiences. The pacing can occasionally feel uneven, with some investigative segments dragging longer than necessary. Conclusion: "Underdog Detective" is a delightful mix of detective work, historical setting, and personal journey. It's a must-play for those who enjoy narrative-driven games with a touch of humor and a lot of heart. The game's unique mechanics, combined with its engaging story, make it a memorable adventure that leaves you pondering your choices long after the credits roll. Highly recommended for fans of mystery, history, and interactive storytelling.

This is a short introduction (episode 1 to 5) to a much large part of the story, which you have to purchase seperately in a DLC. I would still recommend it however. The story and acting is a bit cheesy, but the production value is pretty high and some of the actors and actresses really knock it out of the ballpark.

Sept. 2024

I enjoyed this game a lot. The story is thrilling, the actors are talented. Looking forward to the next part.

June 2024

This FMV game has crazy production quality. Everything looks and feels epic. The acting is great and not only by FMV standards but by movie standards. The cinematography is simply stunning. The story is an intresting detective story with some unforseen twists and turns with a good dose of humor. It feelt quite unique and is the best detective game i have ever played. The english subtitels are very good. Way better then in most FMVs. With its 20+ Euro price this game might be "expensive" compared to other FMVs but thats no wonder with how well and ambitious this production is and totally worth its price! It took me rougly 5 and a half hour to finish my first playthrough without exploring diffrent choices. I did not encounter a single bug. I can highly recommend this game to anyone who is a fan of FMVs or detective storys in generel.
