Alright. The Sewer Goblet was featured in the August issue of the Swedish magazine
Super PLAY. I got around to scanning the article now, it's interesting how last month Hello Panda got a small box in the magazine and this month The Sewer Goblet got itself a mention.
Free translation:
Wu-Tang shows the way
How do you follow up an RPG about the underworld of basket if not with a roguelike featuring the members of Wu-Tang Clan as the main characters? Inspectah Deck and Meth crawls deep down into caverns and kills slimes, collects experience points and loot.
The setup is a classic roguelike. A level filled with unknown danger and treasure. The goal is to find your way down into the next level. After that you repeat it forever; more experience points, more and sharper weapons and of course meaner enemies. As always in the genre it's all about difficult enemies and overly evil situations. The killer bees are swarming so protect your neck.
The Sewer Goblet is a lot more Spartan than its predecessor
Shut up and Jam Gaiden and doesn't have as much room for strange humour or clever minigames, but it still impresses by being a well developed game behind all the pubescent humour. The explanation for the simple graphics and playstyle is that the game was made in eleven days for a small competition, something that also explains the retarded and unfunny intro they were forced to include.
The Sewer Goblet is also a perfect entry for those interested in roguelikes. It's very easy for the genre, but still a challenge and a complete introduction for newbies. The easygoing and fun combined with the hand-pixleated graphics are also easier to take in than the typical text-based graphics of the genre.
The developers say they are a tad ashamed of
The Sewer Goblet and that they wished they could withdraw it, but we think that's nonsense.
The Sewer Goblet isn't as unabashedly awesome as its bigger brother, but it's still worth the short time it takes to play through. The clan up front!

Picture subtitle:
The Clan represents
Nine of the clan's most important members are represented in
The Sewer Goblet. Inspectah Deck, Method Man, GZA, U-God, Ghostface Killah, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Masta Killa, RZA och Raekwon all have their own sprites and unique set ups and skills. Some start with Glocks, others with a newly sharpened katana. For newbies we recommend Ol' Dirty Bastard since he can lick the blood of the fallen and doesn't have to worry about starving to death.
