Nine Parchments

Nine Parchments

achievements

great pick for achievement-hunters. achievements are interesting, without any unfairness. most of them require using magic attacks in some way (deal XXX damage, attack XXX enemies at once, use beam for XXX seconds, etc), which require either picking a right character, leveling-up in some unorthodox way, or finding a right enemy-spawner. sweet, fine and engaging

Chasing after nine parchments: chaotic but fun

Brief Overview

Nine Parchments is a magical twin-stick shooter which can be played alone or in up to four-person co-op. The game is set in the same universe as the Trine puzzle platformer series and shares the same vibrant surroundings and enchanting atmosphere. Nine Parchments is, however, very different from Trine.

How much of this game I’ve played: 12 Hours, 35 minutes

How I’ve played so much: I had a pre-ordered non-steam copy.

Completed Main story, not the super secret boss area.

Here’s why you’d be interested in this game: Good rhymes, good story, old school gameplay.

Good rhymes: If you haven’t heard of BeNeVoLeNcE, you might have heard of Mega Ran - he’s known for clean nerdcore rhymes over chiptune beats and melodies. Hip Hop by both is featured in the game, and it’s not an “afterthought” like it might be in some games - the music is interwoven in with the story - it’s actually rewarding to gain access to the rhymes that go along with the instrumentals in different parts of the game.

Been playing this game since before EA launch! i’ve sat down talked with the devs. Through conversation and feedback with not only myself, but also through the community on their discord. They have really taken strides to improve their game. Keep in mind this game is early access in the way its intended! It had a great baseline for a twin stick shooter. Has even more potential to become one of the best out there. Now that i given backstory let me tell you about the game. Lets talk about it.

This is a traditional twin stick shooter through and through! gun play feels great on mouse and keyboard. Also supports controller. both methods feel and look great. There is 1 game mode right now called holo chamber. its got 2 maps caldera and jungle.

A really fun game for local couch co-op multiplayer! I personally used Parsec to play the game with my friends online and we all had a good time! The game has come a long way over the last year or two and I hope that everyone can get the same enjoyment out of this game that I have with my friends!

Chronicon

Chronicon

Amazing game. It has:

  • very malleable yet fairly easy enchanting system

  • interesting skill trees and crazy equipment powers that combined can produce builds almost breaking the game at extremes

  • awesome endgame mode that offers tons of fun

  • sweet qol features like very configurable radial loot pickup

  • otherwise has familiar structure like acts, elites, bosses, gems etc.

What’s a bit missing:

  • given the possible complexity and interconnections of builds, I’d absolutely love a proper build benchmark, like a minute recording of the actual damage you make that’s reported to you with some details.

One of the reasons I like the Steam platform so much is that it offers opportunity for development teams to release early access versions of their games.

Of course some games never get out of early access for many reasons or the dev teams take little notice of the player base that are effectively ‘testing’ EA/Alpha/beta versions and the player base walk away.

Chronicon is a perfect example of Early Access done well.

I believe the earliest version was 5 years ago.

I picked the game up back in November 2017 and looking at my Steam logs played it for just a couple of weeks.

Dungeon League

Dungeon League

Dungeon League rates very poorly as productivity software.

It struggles to locate and quarantine any malware.

I’m not sure if it even speeds up my computer.

However when treated as a video game, Dungeon League can be quite entertaining.

Dungeon League is an action packed single player and multiplayer dungeon crawler game with both offline and online modes. What first appears to be very simple unfolds nicely into a real treat as a party game.

First impressions: I open the game and am treated by happy music as many rapping chickens spread across the screen. Good signs so far. Options are tidy. Multiplayer is quiet. So far so indie, but it has a nice unique charm all of its own.

Edited 11/1/18 for new release

With it’s full release I feel like Dungeon League has grown up and matured quite a bit. Between adding new characters, adjusting balance, new monsters, monster abilities, items, traps, unlocks, etc, it all just feels more ‘right’. Previously running through the gauntlet felt repetitive after a while, now with more to do and different obstacles to overcome I can see myself wanting to come back to the dungeon over and over again for a long time. I would have recommended this even if it didn’t include online capability but the fact that I can play with others online elevates this even higher. I would absolutely recommend buying this game.

Final Foe

Final Foe

Final Foe is an isometric fantasy arena that challenges you to slay waves of monsters in a mysterious dungeon. Single player and co-op modes. Modifiers and boss rounds. Survive and fight to the end, until the last enemy is killed!

Main Features

  • Atmospheric medieval location.

    The old cursed dungeon with several gates awaits you, from which numerous enemies arrive. You can also find dangerous traps that will come in handy to eliminate enemies

  • Non-target combat system.

    This system works for both players and enemies. This means that any enemy attack can be dodged.

  • Campaign mode.

    You need to destroy enemies round after round, including a short tutorial and several boss battles. As you progress, the difficulty increases. And at the end you will find the most powerful enemy - the final boss.

  • Survival mode.

    This mode is one endless battle, during which more and more strong enemies appear. The goal is to score as many points as possible for killing enemies. Especially sophisticated players can choose the Ultra-difficulty level. This will allow you to get 3 times more points, but will require dodging any damage, since the character will only have 1 health point.

  • Various enemies.

    Endless living dead, terrible knights, insidious magicians and many others, about whom you can find out when you meet. Different enemies have different characteristics. Some are weak and slow, some attack from a distance, and some can get so angry that it will be impossible to stop them…

  • Bosses.

    As you progress through the Campaign mode, you will encounter several bosses. Fighting some of them will require special skill from you.

  • Skill tree.

    The development of your character will take place by learning skills in the skill tree. At the moment, there are 3 intermediate and 4 advanced character classes available. Each of the advanced classes has unique active and passive abilities.

  • Cooperative multiplayer.

    It is much more fun to destroy crowds of enemies together with your friends. This feature allows you to play in a team of up to 4 people.

Lost Castle / 失落城堡

Lost Castle / 失落城堡

this is only the second review i have ever wrote for a game and its my first good one. i just felt like i needed to take the time to make a solid shout out to the creators of this game. i bought this game a couple years ago for $10 USD. becuase i was looking for something to waste time for a day or two and it was so cheap. now granted i have been a gamer for over 30 years im an old gamer and i would say im not the best but im a 8/10 and enjoy hard games both pve and pvp . now about lost castle, this game is just great.

All right, I’ve played this game long enough to review it, and I’ve to say it has gone above expectations for an old school hack’n’slash where rng changes the playstyle in every game. Drawings and artwork is relatively simple but detailed, offering a good presentation, particularly bosses in their intros (it’s boring in the long run but they aren’t long or tedious and they can be skipped).

Pros:

-Game is fairly optimized, loading quickly and fps doesn’t drop even with a big number of enemies on screen even in old laptops.

Zoological Era II

Zoological Era II

I don’t make reviews.

But this fucking game had me on the verge of depression and full melancholy at times and then smiling ear to ear, happy to realise how hopeful and humble life really is.

This game manages to make a masterful and deeply personal story about going through a downward spiral in your life, full of gut-wrenching sorrow and pain. While that’s an achievement on it’s own, I truly appreciate that this game also encapsulates finding light at the end of the tunnel, getting back on your own feet and finding hope in even the smallest victories.

Deep Dark Dungeon

Deep Dark Dungeon

Fantastic tune but Very Bad controls, the character stops moving every time you press a weapon button shame the monsters dont. Could have been a great game otherwise.

I still recommend this game though the devs seem to be less active from what i hear.

To be honest the game is unplayable if you just use the keyboard, mouse would have helped but its as if the devs didnt even test this game out and just wrote it. If the most glaring of issues is noticed within 1min of playing and ignored,it says to me they dont care a hoot about this game.. check out their website that tells you everything you need to know about this train wreck
