Sword of the Stars: The Pit 2

Sword of the Stars: The Pit 2

As an Early Acess review I just want to get a quick review out to players of the first Pit who wonder whether the sequel is worth it.

The successor to the first Pit is shaping up quite nicely. While it is obviously still missing quite a few features and content from its predecessor - not just because of Early Access but because it was humongous, the Developers are very responsive when it comes feedback and bug reports.

The Pit 2 goes back to the turn based dungeon crawling and once done will mean you pretty much get the first Pit plus all the extra good stuff they - and the community - can come up with.

If you liked SOTS: The Pit 1, you’ll love this! Everything is back the way you like it, but now in glorious 3d!

It’s early access, so some stuff doesn’t work yet, as to be expected.

Please support this game so it lives up to the glory of SOTS: The Pit 1!

The World is Your Weapon

The World is Your Weapon

Story & Dialogue

The story is fairly simple, since it’s mainly about a weapon merchant, Weaco, trying to find a legendary sword due to her love of weaponry. The closest thing it has to an aesop is the third ending, where Weaco has to consider what needs to be done in a peaceful world where the antagonist is defeated, which is something that not all stories address properly. The simplicity doesn’t hurt the game too much, since it seems to be mostly focused on humor and gameplay, though I wish there were more quests and lore associated with the bosses of the game.

I don’t normally enjoy games made from RPGMaker, but I enjoyed this one more than I could have expected. I ran into it randomly while browsing, watched the trailer, laughed, and bought it without hesitation. This game has made me laugh like an idiot many times, and it’s also a lot of fun.

I recommend you avoid reading other reviews so you don’t spoil some of the surprises, but let’s just say you can pick up anything…ANYTHING…and use it as a weapon. You can even huck it in your enemy’s face.

Hero of Not Our Time

Hero of Not Our Time

I’m recommending this game based on what it could be and on its innovation rather than the gameplay.

This game has a lot of interesting ideas that are badly implemented (and need fixing):

Good idea: Lootboxes for Rogue-like gameplay.

Bad Implementation: RNG is crappy for no reason.

(Late-game, I stopped opening chests because it wasn’t worth it.)

Fix: Improve RNG.

Good Idea: Cybernetic Upgrades.

Bad Implementation: No explanations of items, uses, etc.

Fix: Add explanations for each item.

Good Idea: Modular Weaponry.

Where do I even start…

Every time I try to find something good about this game, I seem to find something wrong. “Initial aesthetics are pleasing! Oh, those enemies with no animation, just static sprite wobble, are ugly as sin.” “Soundtrack seems pretty bangin'! At least it was the first three levels, getting tired of it starting over instead of looping every level transition for the next seven.” “It’s mouse aim, you can’t screw that up! But now it’s not locked to the game field and I’m clicking menus instead of shooting.”

This game is really fun! ^.^. i like how fun it is and how relaxing it is. it is in early access atm. i would recommend this game if you are into rouge like games x3.

Experienced a glitch that made me immortal (life never went down at all) after playing the game for a few hours…I went through the entire game and hit a wall…the end of a level just a few into the quest that claimed the game was still being developed and more content would be added (then it ended) .it was fun, but this glitch revealed there isn’t much content or point in unlocking the other characters if that’s all the game IS so far…I’m looking forward to not being immortal and having way more game content to experience before playing it anymore…

Deadnaut: Signal Lost

Deadnaut: Signal Lost

From the developer of cult hits Deadnaut and Zafehouse Diaries comes Deadnaut: Signal Lost. In this slick, fast-paced roguelike you’ll take control of a single Deadnaut, unlock suit upgrades and abilities, fight cosmic horrors, and investigate drifting wrecks and abandoned moons. But remember: your Deadnaut is not a puppet – earn their trust, do your job well, and they might return the favour.

Equip your Deadnaut with a wide array of weapons and gear and lead them through a series of procedurally generated missions, fighting where you can – and running when you must.

Your Deadnaut may not like the idea of being torn apart by unknown horrors. Do what you can to complete your mission - pay bribes, make promises, turn them into a mindless space golem - but remember: everything has a price.

There are many ways to play, from weapons and sensors, to shields and hacking. Will you take the heavy duty Labour suit and slice your way through the ship, or will you slip through the shadows in the ghostly Sensor suit?

Encounter dozens of enemies types, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Avoid – or exploit – the security system in each level, from the Watchers that roam ships to the malfunctioning security Towers and Sentinels that guard settlements.

Tailor your armour and damage potential, and develop your Deadnaut with over 100 suit upgrades.

The cosmos is tearing itself apart. Wrecks are full of horrible, interdimensional creatures, the dead roam surfaces of moons, and you’re being hunted by technically advanced soldiers. Experience the world of Deadnaut up close.

FAQ

How does this relate to the original Deadnaut (2014)?

Deadnaut and Deadnaut: Signal Lost are both situated in the same universe and feature similar, mission-based gameplay in procedurally-generated locations. Furthermore, in both games you take on the role as a remote handler who controls the action ‘at a distance’ via a physical console. The Deadnaut also uses similar weapons and suits; battles against security systems; trades ‘knowledge’ for gear; and can be cloned upon dying.

Is this a sequel?

Deadnaut: Signal Lost is not a sequel. It is focused on a single Deadnaut, rather than a whole squad. The action is more intimate and tactical, and you can develop your Deadnaut with numerous suit upgrades and abilities. Furthermore, the gameplay is turn-based, not real-time, which helps focus the action.

How many levels are there?

Deadnaut: Signal Lost is designed to be fast, easy to pick up, and replayable. There are roughly 12 – 24 levels in a standard game. With five suits, special game modifiers, multiple difficulty levels, over 100 upgrades, loads of gear and procedurally generated campaigns, we think you’ll be occupied for a long time.

Isn’t everything ‘roguelike’ these days?

Deadnaut: Signal Lost has many genre-defining features, such as turn-by-turn tile-based movement, character progression, procedural generation and permadeath.

Torgar’s Quest

Torgar’s Quest

The game has nice classic feel to it., it’s old school hack and slash, but with tactics. The graphics ar simple and funny and the spoken commentary is dwarfish-hammy. The masonry is amazing, of course.

Real player with 143.9 hrs in game

What’s the best way to start an adventure to find 7 shards that will grant Torgar the ultimate power? Armed with nothing but clean underwear and a lunch, of course!

This is a rogue-like dungeon crawl, questing ever downward in search of the seven shards. It has three difficulty levels, and anyone with a decent sense for this type of game will probably win in “Normal” mode after a handful of games. Hard mode is considerably more difficult, and nightmare mode is just that - swarms of baddies following you through the dungeon and trying to trap you in corners.
