Fans could submit their questions to be answered by the game's protagonist. To promote the game Hothead Games ran an Ask DeathSpank questionnaire on game's official website. Producer Mike Inglehart stated "This new title isn't DeathSpank 3 or DeathSpank: The Baconing, instead it should be thought of as The Baconing." Inglehart elaborated by saying that "this is a standalone experience that will appeal to fans of the DeathSpank character, but also to gamers everywhere who love unique and engaging video games." Inglehart also clarified that the DeathSpank prefix was not removed due to copyright or trademark issues. DeathSpank was dropped from the game's title, though it is a continuation of the DeathSpank series.

Some thought that the game had too many repetitive quests, while others felt that gameplay was tightened in comparison to the previous two DeathSpank games. Critics were divided as to aspects of gameplay.
