Our take on Talent Not Included
The store copy gives two different versions of the premise: one calls the protagonists actors, while another calls them monsters, and the character names are not consistent. That presentation makes the setup less clear than the theatrical concept itself.
What is Talent Not Included?
Talent Not Included follows three monsters—Zordok, Derp, and Kevin—who decide to stage their own play after becoming bored.
A demonic critic has selected them as mediocre performers, creating trouble for the production. Players control the actors as they pursue a profitable performance while facing mechanical soldiers, animals, monsters, and rotating cylinders beneath their feet. The game uses a theatrical setting and absurd humor alongside combat-focused action and cylinder-based platforms. Local co-op allows multiple players to take part in the performance. The premise frames each encounter as part of a chaotic stage production, with the cast’s personalities and the critic’s interference shaping the story.
