Supercow Demo

Superheroes can usually be recognized by their cape and stylish outfits, except when they are cleverly disguised as a lookalike of themselves with glasses. However, almost every superhero out there is human, or at least humanoid. Even the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles walk on two legs, while barely any part of Batman has anything to do with actual bats.

Supercow does not take itself too seriously, but it does feature a very capable cow in the main role. In essence, your task is to help it get rid of villains and protect her friends, while stomping on everything that looks evil. The game is mostly designed for the casual crowds, which means that the gameplay is as simple as possible, with barely any challenging sections to satisfy hardcore gamers.

Story-wise, it all starts when a great villain by the name of Duriarti escapes from prison and begins to hatch a plan to get revenge for his time spent inside. In order to save the farm and the entire city, Supercow must come to the rescue and deal with Duriarti and his henchmen. As it happens, most of them happen to be vicious dogs or slow-moving snails.

The other half of the gameplay revolves around the coins you can collect, which can then be used to purchase additional items and powers. In fact, certain items can be found throughout the levels, if you search well enough. Additional lives and potions are out there too, and they come in handy whenever you happen to find yourself too close to a hungry hound.

While the level designed is actually impressive for a game in this category, it must be said that only very casual players can get any joy out of the stages, because they are too easy and straightforward. As such, if you are looking for a challenge but you have played a few other platformers in your time, you might need to keep looking, because this is way too simple.

In the end, Supercow has everything it needs to provide the players with a lot of fun and entertainment, as well as more than enough levels to last you for a while. On the other hand, the audience might be a bit disappointed by the lack of a true challenge.
