Pokémon Snakewood may be my current top favorite Rom hack of all time. Not only is the story rather intuitive but the custom sounds and the graphics are really decent. The entire thing is so addicting I find my self getting frustrated into rage quitting only to play it again five minutes later. Don't let that make you nervous though, this game is full of rich game play and is rather entertaining.
Let's start the breakdown now !
Overall I gave this game a 9.8
I find the rich mix of custom graphics, new maps, sounds and storyline to be a very well awesome mix ! The whole zombie theme and the four horsemen of the Apocalypse along with some silly humor and references to media make it a very enjoyable experience.
Graphics: 9
The graphics are up to standard with the games in the advance series, Even the custom graphics are pretty decent. I really liked the fakemon the most. Especially the madios but don't let me spoil to much for you. This game has over 30 different fakemon some uncatchable, some are ! A few Pokémon even get a cool zombie makeover. A few things could have been improved like a few of the fakemon sprites (The part in the trainer party thing) but over all it's not much of a problem.
Sound: 9
The sound is pretty decent, it includes a mix of Ruby/Sapphire music plus a few custom tracks and sounds. It never had a repetitive feel more of a nostalgia feel really.
Addictiveness: 10, A solid 10
I just can't stop playing this game, I put it down for a while and I end up picking it right back up again. It leaves me wanting to know more of the story and more of what happened in the game. If you're like me you won't be able to put this game down very often.
Story: 8
This story isn't like your typical Pokémon game, Fill the pokedex and beat the elite four, It's different, and that's what makes it a lot more interesting in my book. You wake up in ruins of littelroot town with our your memory. You have no idea what happened and its up to you to find out while searching for your brother and May. It's very interesting right from the begging ! If you're not into dark humor or zombies this game isn't for you.
Depth: 9
This game goes pretty deep, it has a few side quests but the storyline is quite long and enjoyable. I'm not even that far into it yet I only have two badges and there's plenty to do. I've thoroughly enjoyed it thus far.
Difficulty: 7
Let's face it this game isn't easy. The difficulty is progressive, its starts rather easy but it gets more difficult rather quickly. It's not impossible it just requires quite a bit of level grinding. The bonus is that there's plenty of areas to heal your Pokémon so you won't have to worry about that too much ! Though there are several times when you will probably have to look up an online guide to get through a hard part. I know I've had to several times. The difficulty definitely doesn't break the game at all.
