Because we first hear of Macbeth in the wounded captain’s account of his battlefield valor, our initial impression is of a brave and capable warrior. This perspective is complicated, however, once we see Macbeth interact with the three witches. We realize that his physical courage is joined by a consuming ambition and a tendency to self-doubt—the prediction that he will be king brings him joy, but it also creates inner turmoil. These three attributes—bravery, ambition, and self-doubt—struggle for mastery of Macbeth throughout the play. Shakespeare uses Macbeth to show the terrible effects that ambition and guilt can have on a man who lacks strength of character. We may classify Macbeth as irrevocably evil, but his weak character separates him from Shakespeare’s great villains—Iago in Othello, Richard III in Richard III, Edmund in King Lear—who are all strong enough to conquer guilt and self-doubt. Macbeth, great warrior though he is, is ill equipped for the psychic consequences of crime.
Before he kills Duncan, Macbeth is plagued by worry and almost aborts the crime. It takes Lady Macbeth’s steely sense of purpose to push him into the deed. After the murder, however, her powerful personality begins to disintegrate, leaving Macbeth increasingly alone. He fluctuates between fits of fevered action, in which he plots a series of murders to secure his throne, and moments of terrible guilt (as when Banquo’s ghost appears) and absolute pessimism (after his wife’s death, when he seems to succumb to despair). These fluctuations reflect the tragic tension within Macbeth: he is at once too ambitious to allow his conscience to stop him from murdering his way to the top and too conscientious to be happy with himself as a murderer.
As things fall apart for him at the end of the play, he seems almost relieved—with the English army at his gates, he can finally return to life as a warrior, and he displays a kind of reckless bravado as his enemies surround him and drag him down. In part, this stems from his fatal confidence in the witches’ prophecies, but it also seems to derive from the fact that he has returned to the arena where he has been most successful and where his internal turmoil need not affect him—namely, the battlefield. Unlike many of Shakespeare’s other tragic heroes, Macbeth never seems to contemplate suicide: “Why should I play the Roman fool,” he asks, “and die / On mine own sword?” (5.10.1–2). Instead, he goes down fighting, bringing the play full circle: it begins with Macbeth winning on the battlefield and ends with him dying in combat.
What we have here with Angels Of Death is a game that is part RPG and part visual novel. Now granted this does not make this a special game as it is a style of visual novel that has become very, very popular in Japan and now, here in the West we are starting to want a bit more gameplay with our visual novel style games.
Help Me, Then Kill Me
The strongest aspect of the game is the story. I would say that horror is the genre that is best fitting for this game. However, it is not a jump scare kind of horror game. Instead what we have here is a game that is more psychological and a game that will give you a really uneasy feeling as you play it and progress through the four-part story.
There are two main characters in Angels Of Death. First of all, we have Rachel (Ray) who wakes up in a very strange medical facility, not knowing why or where she is. Then we have Zack, someone Ray meets and decides to work with to get out of this place, but with the added strangeness that he kills her when they make it out! It sounds very strange and it is, but this game takes you on an emotional roller coaster.
Not Good For The Soul
The themes of Angels Of Death are rather hard to swallow. This is 100 percent, not a game for kids as there is abuse, murder and more all in this game. The main character of Ray is very complex and as you learn more about her past and why she is the way she is your feelings will go through every part of the emotional spectrum. By the time I got to the end of the game I was not sure what to feel, but I knew I had experienced a game that I would be talking about for quite some time.
The Maker Of The RPG!
You will probably not be all that surprised to hear that the game is made with RPG Maker. Many games that are made with this have a similar “feel” and that is certainly the case here. I am not saying this is a bad or good thing, it just is what it is. What is interesting though is that while there is a lot of walking around and exploration here. Despite being made in RPG Maker you do not have to worry about “leveling up” or being strong for lots of combat or anything like that. This is a game that is first and foremost about the actual story and the gameplay just serves as a more interesting way to get from point a to point b.
I thought that the story Angels Of Death told was fantastic. I am not sure I would play through this game again as there is not multiple endings. However, it is the kind of game that really did leave a mark on my soul and the kind of game I love to talk about with others who have played through it.
