Rotastic is clearly going for the Flash animation visual style popularized by several casual games (most notably
Angry Birds). The cheerful, whimsical visuals only go so far, especially if you've grown tired of the overplayed motif. The theming is solid, though it clashes with the game's concept a bit. The Vikings, Elves, Boars, and Skeletons you'll play as have a lot to contend with, from guns that shoot live ammunition (a la
Oddworld Stranger's Wrath) to battering rams that literally look like rams to others that look like the unholy offspring of several medieval torture devices. The physics also work just fine; your trajectory is always a direct consequence of when you let go of a grappling point, and it always looks natural enough. Apart from that,
Rotastic plays it safe with a relatively bland cartoony aesthetic.
Rotastic is an unimpressive-sounding game. It isn't offensive to the senses, but it is forgettable. There's not much voice acting, and what's there isn't atrocious, but it's redundant and gets old very quickly. If I never hear the phrase "It's simple: get everything!" again, it'll be too soon. The cries each character utters upon death are pretty funny, but most of the time you'll probably be too pissed off at the game to chuckle. The music is like the rest of the presentation: bland and forgettable.
