This all written in a very cheek-in-tongue humor style.There are enough different story and character development options for at least three playthroughs, which should be enough, even though it is not necesseraliy the longest CYoA game here.Conclusio: Not only for the demented haters of mankind, Diabolical offers a fun diversion from the normal hero type of games. Rating: 8\/10. The problem with this story is that it runs like a typical game with bland plot points. While the choices seem interesting at first, you'll come to realize that the game has a fairly set path with barely noticable diviations. I would not recommend this choose-your-own-adventure novel over "Choice of Robots" and the like. This story doesn't take itself seriously and, if you want to enjoy it, you shouldn't either. You're in for a cartoony romp with a straightforward plot and lots and lots of deus ex machina if you play this game. I didn't enjoy as much as I thought I might but that was likely because I went in with the wrong attitude but I'm certain many people would find its silly and irreverent tone to be quite entertaining as long as they were aware of it before getting in too deep.. I love this. It got me hooked on text based adventure games.I haven't seen the sun in ten years.. It's not as long as other Choice of Games or has as deep a meaning but highly enjoyable letting you play a super villain getting to go with every villain cliche from millitary leader sparing no one to a more trickstery character who causes non lethal chaos. It's short, entertaining and who doesn't want the largest ball of aluminum foil?. Diabolical is an interesting game. The first time i played i found it very amusing. The reason i can't recomend it is because the game makes you think that your choices matter when they really don't. In all "Choice of Games" games there is a certain level of railroading, in some instances it's almost unnoticable and not to much of a problem. However in Diabolical it goes way too far.Now i will be discussing some SPOILERS from this point onwards so read at your own risk.Most main character will survive untill the final act no matter what you do, making your choice irrelevant. There's a chapter in which your character has the option to kill another character, Even if you choose to kill him, you won't since your character got a change of heart suddenly. the worst offender is the ending, now i won't go into too much spoilers but let's just say that what ending you get is dependant only on your last choice, a.k.a. no choice up untill this one matters. And there are a lot of options for the ending so you better be reay to replay the game at leadt 8 times to get them all, even though you already know how everything will turn out regardless of your choices.And i know some will point out i have a load of time but that was just replaying so i can get all achievements.All in all i can't really recomend a choose your own adventure in which your choices don't matter.. As much as I love "choose your own adventure" games, I wouldn't recommend this one. Why? Because while you'd think your choices would matter like in other similar games, they really don't. Most choices you face lead to the same exact results and I don't mean it as in the long run. Let's say you have the choice between killing or not killing someone. First run through you'll go with one choice and next one pick the opposite choices figuring the story would be entirely different but no. If you choose to spare the person the game will let you but most of the time when you choose to kill the person, you'll either fail or be interrupted, effectively making the game painfully linear.You can't choose your own adventure, it's already been chosen for you.. A very enjoyable and witty short story that made me chuckle everytime I was given the opportunity to either be a traditional super evil villian or to\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665around and use a giant deathray lasor only to project a movie onto the moon with it. The author definitely made sure to make you feel like you're really a super villian by adding unexpectedly "evil" lines that will make you laugh, cheesy or not i still loved it.. If you know the other Choice games, well, you won't be surprised. This one is a lot more lighthearted than some of the other ones I played, even if you go relatively evil and kill a lot. There are some surprising twists, but the whole game has a little bit too much "deus ex machinas" for my taste.But anyway, if you want to be the villain in a cartoony way, this is definitely your game. Not regretted it.
