Beyond dreams

Beyond dreams

This is the game of a UE4 individual independent game developer from China. In this pixel game with simple plot, you will face 21 carefully designed bosses (two of them are plot characters), 16 magical treasures, difficult battles and challenge modes that bring new experience!!!

Boss Challenge

In addition to the plot, the other 19 bosses have their own characteristics. Most of them have changeable skill groups and will not be released in a certain order. Moreover, the bosses have many mechanisms, such as Legion summoning, transformation, extremely fast moves, blood returning, blinking and so on.

treasure

Each time the protagonist defeats a lower Lord, he can obtain a magical treasure. Each treasure has special attributes and its own active skills. Although he can only equip three pieces at the same time, it can still help the player better pass the customs.

Game mechanism

It adopts the physical limitations of soul games and rare supplies. Players need to skillfully use jumping, tumbling and treasure skills to avoid death.

Challenge mode

After customs clearance, you will unlock the very fun challenge mode. In this mode, you will unlock the other two supporting roles, one is the bloodthirsty female god of war, and the other is the king of bad words proficient in calling. They will bring you a new game experience after customs clearance!!!

About me and the game

Most of the art and music audio materials in the game come from paid commercial materials purchased from the material website, and some free commercial materials from these platforms. I thank these authors very much. Players will see their list after customs clearance.

This game really took me a lot of time and effort. In addition to most art music, it was completely completed by me. I really hope you can like him. Of course, you are very welcome to point out his shortcomings in your comments.

Hidden Caves

Hidden Caves

Nah, this ain’t fun. The same song ooooover and over and not just in this game, in all of the other versions as well. The same song. The same one. Not to mention it isn’t fun. Not at all. I gave it a chance, I played until I won which was 16 minutes. Don’t waste your time or money, I’ve already done that for you. :)

A small picture on which you need to find an object displayed in the upper left corner. There’s absolutely no value here; finished it in 4 minutes. What makes this even worse is that your goal is always choosen from a pool of 4 or 5 items. Very repetitive!

Astro Knight

Astro Knight

You are a carefree astronaut with a sword, the Astro Knight. But because of you, your fellow astronauts came to an untimely demise. As you grapple with your loss, you find yourself in a dream world full of monsters. You must wield your sword and your special abilities to combat waves of foes. But after each stage you must give something up. Can you let go?

Astro Knight was made as part of the inaugural Hackubator class, a game accelerator program where we are split into teams of 5 and tasked with making a game in 3 months. Our team, House Rogue, embodies the values of competence and candor with a sizable helping of rebelliousness embodied by our mantra “Go left”.

Controls feel odd at first, but this is one of those games that are just really easy to zone out on. If the game had been longer I probably would have sunk at least an hour into to this without realizing it.

Herakles and the Princess of Troy

Herakles and the Princess of Troy

Definitely one of my favorite games out there. I love the amount of time put into this, as it makes the game so much better. There are difficulties for any type of player, and it’s based on skill. You can unlock buffs, new weapons, and a lot more in this. Strategy is also involved. There’s a lot of stuff to list that I love about this game, but it’s best to try it for yourself. I would highly recommend buying this game, or at least checking out the demo.

They Always Run

They Always Run

They Always run is quite the fun action side scroller game. Both the visuals and music are quite stunning. Controls are tight and it is easy to move and fight throughout the levels. Combat can and does keep you on your toes, but it is not what I’d call overly challenging. The only criticism that I can come up with at the moment is the lack of voice overs. In my opinion this game needs voice overs to help with the immersion. I don’t know why but I can imagine Simon Templeman (voice of Kain from Blood Omen) being a fitting voice for the protagonist Aidan. But who knows, maybe they’ll add voice overs in future patch/ updates.

They Always… Hmmm?

Legend:

+++ Bullseye!

++- Neat!

+– Mmmm … okay!

— Yikes!

+-+ Mix Bag (Sometimes is ok Sometimes is not)

+- Not a Big Deal. (Neutral)

HIT & MISSES:

+++ Art style is spectacular! One of the main reasons I bought the game!

++- Characters and World Building stories are pretty good. Although some of the dialogues can be cheesy.

++- Presentation of story ideas can be better. Currently some of the story elements can be a little sloppy but nothing narration breaking.

Bot Gaiden

Bot Gaiden

Not for the faint of heart, Bot Gaiden is all ACTION, EXECUTION, AND SPEED. Ninja robots Robyu and Bytron race to recover the power skulls that have been stolen by each of Giorqio’s 6 Hench-bots. Slicing everything in their path, they must reach their destination quickly. The Hench-bots grow stronger with time and exposure to the skulls.

The faster you go, the easier the fight. However, going faster means putting yourself in harm’s way. You’ll break out in a cold sweat trying to figure out the most efficient path through each stage.

Designed to be shared, no matter what the skill mismatch might be. Got a child that’s just learning? Team up. Got a buddy that just sucks at action games? Bring ‘em on! You can teleport to your partner at any time: lagging players can instantly catch up, and experienced players can lend a helping hand, instantly. Speaking of catching up, the trailing player is automatically equipped with additional recovery speed. No more bad old days. No fighting over skill gears either: when one player picks one up, both are equipped! Become a tag team terror with BotSwat, which sends your partner flying across the screen in an invincible fireball!

Momentum is key. Keeping skill gears leads to speed boosts (you lose skill gears when you take damage). Fast finishes enable upgrades. Upgrades enable faster finishes. Bronze and Silver rewards give you the edge to break through the Gold clear time and earn things like Triple Jump, Super Drill, Glider Bombs, and more! Plot your chain of attack accordingly.

  • Challenging gameplay

  • Casual, Normal, Hardcore, and Ludicrous difficulty settings

  • Single-hit kills

  • No hidden areas - concentrate on the action

  • Beat the bosses and earn their rewards in any order

  • Earn gold rewards to survive the endgame gauntlet

  • Unlockables!

Choice Chamber

Choice Chamber

This review is from the perspective of a streamer ( twitch.tv/aazzdos ) and someone that has reached Room 475.

Choice Chamber is a platformer. Your objective is to clear a room of all enemies in order to proceed to the next one. The defining difference between this game and others in the same genre is that your Twitch chat votes on how the next level will be different, from the terrain to the enemies to your very own weapon. Voting follows majority rule, and chat has almost full power over how a run will go.

Okay, so there’s an obvious caveat to my recommendation here. This game is for streamers, and pretty much only for streamers. This game won’t get you an audience, either. But if you livestream, and you already have an audience—even a small one—then this game is fantastic. It’s not the most fun game of its kind, and can occasionally get repetitive… especially if your chatroom decides to troll you and keep you underpowered. But it always seems to be the case that as one slowly improves at the game, their stream community follows suit. I often point out and even pick on users of the “streamer ‘we’”, but this is one game where it really does apply—it really is not just the gamer but also the spectators that are making progress, and for the streamer to say “we’re in there” or “we made it” is, at last, not at all disingenuous for this game. This game is clearly for a very limited demographic, but if you fit that demographic, Choice Chamber should serve you quite well.
