Demon Strikes Back

Demon Strikes Back

This is what I’m looking for after Wizard of Legends and Dreamscraper!

Fun rouge-like map, amazing combat, cool relics, virtually beautiful scenery.

Worth buying!

It’s a little buggy, but none of it is game breaking. It’s a little grindy, but possible without the grind. It’s a little game, but the ambition behind making something decent paid off.

Every enemy in the game has a clear weakness and moment to attack. Your roll is how you avoid damage, and the attacks are mostly well telegraphed. You can play as a ranged character or a melee character. I prefer the melee personally, but ranged is playable.

All in all, the game passes the time in a fun way, and that’s pretty much all you can ask from a video game.

Block Dungeon

The meaning of the game is quite simple, you need to pass different levels, pump your character, kill enemies, change weapons. The game has good music and very nice graphics, the eyes just rest during the passage, this is not a FPS game where you need to focus as much as possible at the monitor, this game is where you can relax and have a good time.

This game is simple yet it is FUN.

There is no tutorial or manual, so here is a simple guide (WASD to move or attack, Q opens inventory WASD to move about inventory E to use item, F to destroy item, Q closes inventory) As you get stuff check your inventory if the item is better than what you have equipped then use it if not destroy it. Healing potions are 25 health and 50 health so watch were your health is and use one as needed.

Every block you reveal gives you coins equal to the level you are on. Lvl 1 = 1 coin lvl 10 = 10 coins. There are 3 vendors in the main screen Weapon, armor and potion/health spend coins with these vendors to get upgraded gear, it also drops randomly from chests in game. You inventory is LIMITED to the boxes you see once it is full you cannot get any more loot until you use or destroy something. If you die you respawn in the main screen area.

Relentless: Ranger

Relentless: Ranger

Relentless: Ranger is a fantasy side scrolling rogue-lite RPG. Slash, shoot, sneak, die, and repeat as the next strider to brave the impossible mission. Each ranger lives once. Once he dies, you must select another to attempt the quest.

Join our Discord and give us your suggestions:

http://discord.gg/UtpRHPhwaD

EXCEPTIONAL SOUL-LIKE COMBAT

Bows, swords, and spells. Use a variety of weapons and magic to overcome your opposition in tough but fair combat. Beware that brainless button mashing will get you nowhere fast. You must also utilize dodges, jumps, and impeccable timing if you hope to survive.

THE TICKING CLOCK

In a land where evil reigns, not only are the odds stacked heavily against you, you must complete the quest in a limited time. With each passing day a ranger spends, the Dark becomes more powerful until the challenge becomes inevitably insurmountable. Will you spend extra time to heal in town? Or will you trudge on to save time and hope you get lucky?

RANGER SUPERPOWERS

Nine disciplines to train from Archery to Beastmastery to Acrobatics. Combined with inherent talents and flaws, each ranger will play differently. Perhaps you will pick a Legolas-like archer of death who can plow through levels through sheer arrow power? Or select one who relies more on stealth and magic? Or another who relies on the aid of forest animals?

SURVIVAL MANAGEMENT

Rescue villagers, find artifacts, or just invest money in the town. You will be rewarded with better weapons, more potions, and beds with less fleas. Help make the town a better place and the mission less unreasonable, if not for you, at least for your successors.

CHOOSE YOUR OWN PATH

Choices matter in addition to the procedural generation of fate. Each ranger will encounter different people and situations during his quest. Depending on your choices, his subsequent path will be altered, taking him to new locations, dangers, and treasures. Although all seek the Seed, no ranger will travel the same path.

Outbreak: The Nightmare Chronicles

Outbreak: The Nightmare Chronicles

To describe this game, it is a tribute to survival horror games of old and plays similar to them, so just a bit of warning as to what you’re getting into. Having grown up with these types of games, I enjoyed the experience and would recommend this to others. As of my writing this, only the first episode has been released, so the review will cover that.

First, we need to talk about the camera. We have fixed camera angles that will move from one location to the next as you reach the edge of the screen, somewhat obscuring the room by giving you limited view, similar to older Resident Evil games before they went over-the-shoulder action. However, with the exception of only a couple rooms, the angles are very well placed to give you information about the room while not completely hiding an enemy within it. If you look around upon entering a room, there will be clues as to what lies in wait for you, so be aware that if you are the type of person who just rushes into everything, you may get worked over.

Outbreak: The Nightmare Chronicles is a pretty direct sequel to Outbreak: New Nightmare, which is a primarily multiplayer based game. Lydia - a character from said game - is the only playable character in Chronicles. Unlike the jump from Outbreak to Outbreak: New Nightmare, Chronicles is on the same general engine and plays out pretty much the same. So, if you enjoyed New Nightmare, chances are you’ll definitely enjoy this game, as it’s essentially a single player version of the multiplayer title.

I’ve finished all of the current content, so I think I’m in a good position to critique the game as it is currently. Overall, this game is a real gem. I’m a fan of Lovecraftian-styled games along with rogues and sidescrollers, so this game is perfect for me. The character movement and combat starts out sluggish, but once you unlock some more dashes the pace becomes faster. The developers have already addressed this in an update today that bumped up the character movement, among other improvements. However it’s still a game that favors defense, and the bullet-sponge nature of the enemies is my biggest criticism. At times it can borderline on ridiculous. Also, the second level of Act 1 feels way too long, and in my opinion, doesn’t earn its length.

Right now, I’m coming off of a sugar rush like feeling after playing 5 hours of this game. In its current state the game is fantastic.

The game checks off all the boxes for a wide variety of gamers.

SoulsLike - Check

Metroidvania - Check

Action / RPG - Check

Platformer - Check

Gorgeous Game - Check

Horror - Check

True Lovecraft Monsters - Check

Just a geek that needs to collect a game with very unique design mechanics - Check

I could go on. I’m a huge fan of SoulsLike and Metroidvania games. Throw in the Roguelite concept where both the environment and your enemies are never the same is fantastic. The use of neural network AI to create the enemies is mind bendingly genius.
