Citizens of Space

Citizens of Space

First of all, erase the concepts that this is in fact a direct sequel to Citizens of Earth. In many ways, it continues along the story; but the systems to play this game are vastly different. They have evolved from their Earthbound-based battle system into something from say Super Mario RPG from the SNES era or Paper Mario from the N64. It is a bunch of minigames for abilities that is mixed with timed QTE events for reducing damage. In that aspect, this game shines and at the same time can be it’s downside as some of the minigames are quite tedious. You will find yourself not as much button mashing but wishing your timing was a bit better on some of the heavier costing abilities which consume energy, health, and other various things.

First of all, don’t mind the hours. There’s a late game citizen that gives you perks for idling the game as you AFK, the actual gameplay is.. I’d think closer to 20-25 hours.

If you’re looking for a grand story, you won’t find that here. That said, I do think the game is very much worth the money, esp if you find it on sale.

there’s a lot of charm and love put into this game, and it is a definite improvement on the previous entry, at least as far as memory serves (and you’ll have to forgive me, it’s been a while since I played CoE)

Roll The Cat

I’ve got a cat that gets me up at night myself, so, when I saw this game, I had to play it.

And what can I say - good old Sokoban, cat-themed, with good art style - how can it not be good?

Simon the Sorcerer: 25th Anniversary Edition

Simon the Sorcerer: 25th Anniversary Edition

I have to applaud whoever is in charge of this remaster for their radical new approach to remastering games. The influx of constant reboots reaping easy cash from aging millennials who use nostalgia to mentally prepare for a lingering midlife crisis seems to have grown quite stale given that all reboots follow the same old paradigm: take an old game, improve some aspects of it to make it somewhat more palatable to a 2020 audience, profit, rinse and repeat. It is therefor exquisitely refreshing experience MojoTouch’s brave decision to deviate from the stagnating market of hi-res renditions of 90s walking simulators by actually making it WORSE. And let me assure you, they did not hold back.

Okay, so this isn’t a black-or-white decision for some. But if you tally it all up and look at the bottom line, it’s a resounding yes.

Is it an actual HD remaster? No, it isn’t. But they clealry state it’s an xBRZ upscale and nothing else. And there’s an option to play the original style, which we switched to in a click of a button.

Would I have loved the graphic interface option? Sure, but it’s not a dealbreaker.

But here are the main pro points:

Nobody buys the rights for an old point and click game and releases it with bonus material to make a quick buck. These guys love the game and made it available for old fans and new. Cease it.

Stick RPG 2: Director’s Cut

Stick RPG 2: Director’s Cut

If you enjoyed the first stick rpg then you will likely enjoy this one.

Part of me does feel however, that this sequel went away from some of the charm that made the first game so fun. For example, you no longer feel a sense of progression as you move up the numerous career ladders. Remember your voice message in the first game? There is none of that in this game. And it’s funny, because you literally have a cell phone on your person. Such a missed opportunity.

House upgrades are not a thing anymore. You simply have the option of owning three houses. Even in the first stick rpg, there were upgrades you could buy that would give you a bonus. The only upgrades you can get in this game is just a bed, an alarm clock, and yeah… that’s it.

Stick RPG 2 is a fun little timewaster. Not worth the $20 price for sure, but if you can snatch it on sale and remember playing it or the original, go for it. Otherwise? Pass.

Quick rundown of what this has that the Flash game doesn’t.

  • A fourth screen for late game content

  • More careers, weapons, quests, homes and other little things. The game has essentially been expanded by like, 33%.

  • Cheats to play the game more quickly

  • Offline or online saves. There’s no reason, IMO, to ever use online saves as you have to login each time you boot up the game.

Digital Janitors

Digital Janitors

Digital Janitors is a really cool concept for a game. You play as an IT man who is trying to fight back hackers invading the computer system of your company. The main game play consist of sorting folder that either contain important files into the secure folder or harmful malware into the trash bin. The game play is the main selling point of the game and the developers keep it interesting by continuously introducing new folder types and power ups. The power ups are really creative some of them include, being able to highlight multiple folders like your actual desk top and sort them, a sort.exe that auto sorts folders, or a nuke that is just a screen wipe that you definitely need for the later game levels. The power ups do feel a little to over powered at times especially some of the ones you get later in the game. If you want to play without power ups it is almost impossible. You can tell the game was balanced around having the player using them which is fair for a lot of work went into making each one feel special either through its animation or its utility as an item. For what the game is I feel like this is a fair balance.

This game is great. Game play is fun and super addictive and the presentation is really slick and colorful. Give it a try, you definitely will not regret it!

Epic Dumpster Bear 2: He Who Bears Wins

Epic Dumpster Bear 2: He Who Bears Wins

If you haven’t played the first Dumpster Bear, you should know that it’s not just a meme game. It’s a fast-paced, actually pretty good platformer. Each level has 3 hidden red coins to collect and speedrun medals to achieve. There are optional, more challenging levels that are unlocked through secret exits and spending the yellow coins you collect while playing. And there are goofy boss battles and over-dramatic cutscenes. The soundtrack is actually original and composed specifically for Dumpster Bear, and it’s a real highlight of the game.

Peace, Death! 2

Peace, Death! 2

Sequel to Peace, Death!, (h)e(a)ven more fun !

Simple game when you start, but it gets harder more you push through your quests (with 4 apocalyptic knights) and other side quests.

Your main quest is to put at the right place in Heaven or Hell or Purgatory a list of 6 people you can see (sometimes demons, angels, hunters, etc etc).

Each of them have there own particularity and sometimes it could be a bit tedious to think and decide correctly.

On the latest levels, you really have to act fast (and precisely) or you get ejected in few seconds !

Real player with 15.6 hrs in game

Good game. 8/10. Would like to have more interactions with other characters and more quests from them. Biggest plus for me: there are no time restrictions (except catastrophes, but they do not impact the grade of the level).

UnMetal

UnMetal

Worshipping its inspirations, yet being a unique game

What to expect?

If you are at the age of about 30+, »UnMetal« might have gotten your attention due to its graphical similarities with the top-down »Metal Gear« games (MSX2, NES, GameBoy), and »UnMetal« plays very much like those: While escaping from your prison cell, which you were thrown into for »a crime you didn’t commit«, you explore your surroundings and stumble upon files about an imminent terrorist action you then try to prevent. Sneak around your opponents, distract them, knock them out with your bare hands or even shoot them (but with a catch), use mine detectors and nightvision goggles, disable surveillance devices and so on. In contrast to the aforementioned »Metal Gear« games, »UnMetal« follows a rather humorous approach while referencing iconic scenes from its inspirations. To get a first impression, I recommend playing the free demo.

Real player with 24.5 hrs in game

I first heard about this game a couple months ago and was interested when I saw the retro NES Metal Gear style game play. I played the demo and loved the humor in it. I was excited to give it a go when the game came out and it did not disappoint. The gameplay is great. My only complaint about it is that at times, it’s hard to get right up behind somebody to punch them if you’re approaching them vertically without alerting them. It’s probably more to do with the 2D design than anything else but I had to knock a slight point off for that. Fortunately, after the first few chapters, you get chloroform which you can hold from a greatest distance so you won’t run into that issue again.
