You are gifted with two main skills to aid your escape: A dodge that sees you spin your body to avoid incoming fire, and the ability to slow down time, giving you some breathing room to choose your movement and shots. Now you may only have a pistol and a banana by your side, but what you are able to do with them makes up for your lack of armament. Once you acquire a pistol from a guard willing to help (you kill him and take it), things kick off quickly. Anyway, Pedro informs you that you are in the butchery owned by a notorious mob boss that uses the place as a ‘waste management facility’ and from here it is time to get to work. Yep, this is where we are starting so buckle up, it doesn’t steer towards normality from here at all. Don’t fret, you have a floating, sentient banana (the eponymous Pedro) as a companion to guide you on your way. It is also how you are introduced to the unnamed protagonist of the game. Do yourself a favour and make this game YOUR friend.Waking up in a butchery freezer, masked and with no recollection of who you are and how you got there is one way of knowing that you had a big night. My Friend Pedro is a ridiculously good time challenging, stylish, incredibly fun and endlessly playable. However, those are just little drops in an ocean of a good game.

People or objects if your legs aren’t lined up with them. Get in the way of your attempts to pull off cool moves–namely, trying to kick
While it is possible to change the button layout, I felt it hard to find any other meaningful placement given the game’s requirement for using both sticks.Īlso, sometimes the game’s wonky physics can Bullet-time is mapped to the 元, and given the Joy-Cons minimal stick-movement range, it’s very easy to turn it off when attempting to split your aim. I have one minor issue with the game, and it may have more to do with the Joy-Cons than the game itself.
The visuals are backed by a fantastic 80’s synth soundtrack-in traditional Devolver fashion-that adds a lot to the overall feel of the game. Each level has a nice pastel colour palette which makes the bright primary colours of the characters pop out. My Friend Pedro uses a minimalistic visual style that keeps things simple while still maintaining a lot of small details that add to the game’s personality. This only serves the arcade purpose of increasing your level rank, which if you’re anything like me, will add a lot of replay value to each level as you strive to pull off something higher than a C-rank- no matter how cool you thought you were. However, that doesn’t mean you should take your time, as each kill adds to a combo meter, building your score for that level. It absolutely…well, bananas! And it all may sound way too crazy to keep track of all of that, much like the aforementioned Max Payne, players can activate bullet-time to give them that extra edge to pull off some insane kills. You’re ricocheting bullets of a frying pan you suspend in mid-air with gunfire.

Of each level is to kill every bad-guy in as stylish a fashion as possible and Like a lot of Devlover published games, the game is not heavy on plot, combining the real and surreal to consistently keep the player guessing as to what’s really taking place. This is the titular Pedro, and he guides the player, who takes on the role of a nameless murder machine in a gas-mask, through a marvellous adventure of intense gunplay.
