Giants Uprising

Giants Uprising

I had some problems to start the game at first, but the team quickly helped me with solving my problem via discord. Thanks for that.

So, I think:

  • Game graphics are fantastic, but they need some optimisation for older computers like mine.

  • I really like to walk and explore a bit so some climbing mechanics would be nice

  • The plot and sounds are so nice. I like Kielbasa, but I miss him on the giant’s back. I hope we will see that :)

  • I would like to see some crafting in this game, and to build pancer giant, and be indestructible :D

A little background of myself,

I’ve never seen this game before, and upon looking at new releases, I came across this game minutes after it released. Mind you, since I haven’t been watching the development of this game, I have no prior “hype” of looking forward to this release. So my review is clearly new and unbiased. It is also worth noting, I play on keyboard and mouse for all my games.

My review,

This game is pretty unique. Not completely unique as its gameplay and environment remind me greatly of an old game called Ascend: Hand of Kul. The game puts you into a 3rd person perspective, taking the role of a giant that spawns from the depths of hell and you fight through the worlds to get stronger, level up and use special abilities, and finally, ascent into a greater being. It was multiplayer and had a lot of content, free roam, multiplayer and single player option. Ascend had a lot of development over the years and ended up being a very great game in the end of it all.

Anima: Gate of Memories

Anima: Gate of Memories

Despite some bugs, none game breaking, and some occasional balance issues, this is a good game, with a very appealing artistic direction, great soundtrack, and a story which does not start very strong but builds up pretty finely over the course of the game.

The game isn’t all shiny though. The voice acting, overall, is quite weak, although some character do stand out of the bunch positively, and the gameplay can be a frustrating mess sometimes as you will be ganked a lot, and have to deal with quite a lot of projectile spamming.

ARCANE RAISE - CURATOR PAGE

Intro:

I’ll start by saying that I absolutely love this game, it’s a brilliant piece of true art. There are some glaring issues which could be attributed to having a small indie dev team, thus forgiveable. But those flaws could easily be forgotten as well because of the beautiful soundtrack, amazing level-design, very challenging gameplay and a deep story with multiple endings which all have different in-game paths.

Death Cathedral

Death Cathedral

Death Cathedral is a very challenging action RPG with tons of strategy elements.

You’ll need to build a powerful army of the living dead with enemies' flesh and bones within 15 days to kill the devil lurking in the deep end of the cathedral.

The battles in Death Cathedral contain not only realistic sword fighting, but also dashing and gorgeous skills. Parry, dodge, or roll - cope with different attacks in various ways. Observe and master your skills during combats and keep confronting stronger opponents.

A wide collection of characters:

More than 40 playable characters, each with a large number of well-designed and extremely vigorous attack actions.

Decay system:

You are controlling corpses of flesh and bones sticked together with black magic. Every exploration increases the decay of the body. The dead warrior collapses when the decay reaches 100%. The increase in decay is irreversible and you can only reduce the increase by applying “preservatives”. Be aware of the team selection ahead of every run!

Roster building:

You’ll constantly lose your warriors due to the decay process. But on the other hand, you’ll be able to create new corpses with flesh and bones of the defeated enemies. This means that you won’t be able to lay back and win easily with the same team over and over again. In order to lead the team forward, you will have to adapt to changes and achieve dynamic balance.

Resource management:

There’re all kinds of resources to accquire in Death Cathedral, which are essential for exploration. However, you can’t always have it all. You need to understand what’s really urgent and make your choices accordingly.

Unforseeable adventure:

You will encounter not only enemies but also facilities to aid you, and make you pay at the same time. Be aware not to backfire yourself by interacting in wrong scenarios.

Countless equipments:

Equipments offer not only boost to attributes, they also grant powerful specialties to your warriors. To make full use of the specialties, your lineup, enemy’s attributes, the area and many factors are under consideration. Specialties may also affect the items and facilities you use.

Immersive atmosphere:

Six distinctive areas can be explored, offering a solemn and dark medieval fantasy landscape.

This is not intermediate stage. This is concept stage. This is EXTREMELY overpriced. Feedback at this point is absurd as literally everything needs a ton of work.

Can’t wait to see this game in finished form. The early access dazzled me with amazing level design, the enemies look great and the boss fight at the end was really fun and challenging. Can’t wait to see what comes next.

A fast paced hack and slash with beautiful levels and a creepy atmosphere that left me wanting more. Will look forward to full release!

I dunno. This game is really silly but yet tries to take itself seriously. The English is broken due to some copy paste google translate. The graphics are basic unity graphics. All assets are bought and the fighting mechanics are like a really janky version of dynasty warriors.

The most irritating part of the game is the fact you cannot get rid of the default windows cursor and it does not centre while playing. To do a 180 you have to drag your mouse a couple times to over steer and then pull it back to the centre so it in the middle while running forward.

If you want a game with beautiful graphics, a dynamic and interesting story, and excellent gameplay mechanics please go visit another game because this one is not meant for you. If you’re not playing this game to play a game and just enjoy yourself with all the ridiculousness that it has to offer it’s a work of art. I was hardly ever not entertained because everything from weird gameplay mechanics to speaking and text popping up was always so ridiculous that there was some fun to be found in them.

gameplay review: fight stuff. that’s about it, if there’s other stuff to do i haven’t fount it yet

so i got a bunch of bugs:

game has crashed multiple times… at least it has autosave i guess?

graphics settings don’t save

if you level up multiple times from one monster (like you can from certain golems) you only get one skillpoint. didn’t check stat points, but that’s likely to have the same issue

seems like most areas only drop gear with extremely low levels. so the only place to get high level gear is the shops… sometimes. as a side effect, there’s no way to earn zs quickly, so high-level gear in shops quickly gets prohibitively expensive

I played for about an hour today and so far it’s pretty good fun. The maps are large and it is really an experience getting from point a to point b. I do wish there were keyboard character controls, but that could be something for when this comes out of Beta. I did have an issue once where I was being attacked by an invisible enemy and another glitch were things stopped attacking me all together. I’m looking forward to playing more. The voice acting so far is really really good. I’m excited to get the part I voiced.

Ghoul Castle 3D: Gold Edition

Ghoul Castle 3D: Gold Edition

Only played a bit, but it reminds me of the original King’s Field game for the playstation that came out in 1995 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King%27s_Field_II ) which I have always been nostalgic for. I really wish more games like this would come out that were a little more nuanced.

Regardless the fact this game was made by one person really impresses me. I would love to learn how he made it.

Ну, очень, очень спорно

[37/100]

Для начала начну с того, что сама игра является портом с мобильных устройств, и сделана она одним человеком. Но одновременно, её продают на ПК за деньги, которые можно потратить на интересные игры на скидках. Поэтому я долго думал насчёт негативной, или положительной оценки. И хоть игра и является “Gold Edition” оригинала, игра всё равно пустая. Очень пустая. Начнём.

Перед тем как продолжим смотреть на саму игру

Я хочу поругать описание, так как немного вранья там есть.
