I’ve had my eye on The Executioner for quite some time. Things didn’t quite turn out as the studio planned, however, as they were ultimately forced to delay The Executioner’s launch for another couple of months after that article’s publication. I did so in an article from May of 2019 shortly after Lesser Evil Games initially announced the game’s planned release date. If that title rings any bells for you, I suspect that may be because I publicized my anticipation for the game’s release before it reached Steam nearly two years ago. The title in question is known as The Executioner, developed and published by Lesser Evil Games. Reader discretion is advised.Īs Bruce Dickinson of the legendary British heavy metal band Iron Maiden once famously sang it, “I’m waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime / Reflecting on my past life, and it doesn’t have much time / ‘Cause at five o’clock, they take me to the gallows pole / The sands of time for me are running low.” I think this particular excerpt from their song “Hallowed Be Thy Name” is quite fitting for the game I’ll be reviewing today.
