Afterworld King

Afterworld King

Lucky me had the dubious honour of writing the first review for Afterworld King.

Afterworld King is another GameMaker Studio asset flip from serial copy+paste infringers, GreatHopeStudio. All these guys do is rip off game templates and projects from the Yoyogames/GameMaker Studio store, change the name and a few cosmetic details, and try to scam people into paying for someone else’s work on Steam. They have run asset flip scams dozens of times, and this is no exception. It’s nothing but a cash grab.

Have you ever pretended your hand is a plane/spaceship and zoomed it around going “pew! pew!” blowing up bad guys? Ever play a “bullet hell” game and thought it might be cool in full VR? Shooty Skies Overdrive let’s you play pretend again, and shows just how cool it can be. There are Power Ups to give your off-hand things to do (with full right/left handed support) and difficulty levels that live up to the name “Overdrive.” Progression, checkpoints and gameplay unlocks help keep things fresh, and let’s you tweak numbers to get the Power Ups you prefer. Nothing hugely sophisticated, but varied and hectic enough to keep me coming back for more. Bright but low-fi graphics means it runs like silk, even with a million bullets in your face.

This is an incredible indie game, which gives you lots of hours of fun! It will make you play and play and when you realise, you are playing at 3 am. It have a really good art, and also perfect gameplay. In the new deluxe version you will be able to face different modes, like th Boss Rush or Survival, which only gives you more and more hours. I really recommend it, and being how cheap it is, just give him a try!

Just as info, achievements doesnt work.

The Sunken Hero is a “template flip”, that is to say, it’s a “game” that has been produced by copying a game template from GameMaker Studio, changing a few things, then dumping the barely functional “product” on Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab. In this case they copied+pasted the Top Down Shooter Engine from actual developer, ZBG, then slapped a set of ocean sprites on top of it. Lazy!

GameMaker Studio is a very poor quality game construction kit, and results in terrible games like this one.

its okay at best. Controls are defaulted to a weird setting instead of the normal WASD movement hence why one reviewer said u could only move right and down. Dude probably didnt know you could change keyboard controls. bruh moment. (options were also in french for some reason). But one you fix the controls, it does run “better”. That said, there are still a few bugs. and once you run out of ammo, thats basically it for you (so you better pray for some ammo drops). For the price, its alright. enjoyable until you get tired of the repetition.

Its….. alright.

If you want to play the game you have to fix the key bindings from SDXC back to WASD. The recoil on all the weapons just slowly move the camera to the right, hopefully this gets fixed to something a bit less obnoxious, like a wider area of damage instead, or just a wider accuracy range. For some reason the PISTOL deals more damage than the SHOTGUN when you deliver a point blank HEADSHOT to the enemies. This straight up weird having a shotgun require two shots to the head while a pistol only ever requires one headshot. The SHOTGUN doesn’t act like a shotgun, when you fire it at enemies it just acts like a weak pistol, only having its shot being registered by the enemy inline with your sight, zero spread shot. You can’t move backwards while firing your weapon, which is a little annoying as you have to crab walk everywhere when attacking the waves. When reloading the shotgun it will signify that you’ve loaded in a couple shells, but if you try and pull the trigger early thinking you’ve a least loaded 1 shell the reload process cancels, leaving you with an empty shotgun. This is a bit of a drawback because it feels like you should at least be able to fire off the shells that have been loaded in the reload sound. If you like detailed maps…… the TREES FLOAT above the ground. The map has 2 holes that lead to the outside of the giant crater. You can walk outside the crater and just tour around the outside for all eternity if you want, just beware that if you fall off the map you’re just stuck with a brown screen until you quit. The menu itself has a few bugs in it, one being once you enter into the settings you can’t jump to any other tab except the play tab. The pleasure mode side menu wont close no matter what, even if you press the CLOSE button, it wont close. If you try and pick up a ammunition box in Endless mode it will only refill the ammunition of the weapon you’re CURRENTLY on, so just take note of that if you’re trying to survive and not run out of bullets. The Normal game mode has 3 little areas where you can just jump on either a crate or a green storage unit and just pick off all the waves without any effort, so if you want to lazily pass the levels this technique works. If you get any of the enemies in Normal mode to stand near the green storage unit though there is a chance where they become untouchable no matter what, even if you’re firing at them from anywhere else on the map, their hit boxes just don’t register the shots. And last little problem I’ve found is that I couldn’t find the last GOLDEN UNICORN on Endless mode no matter what, I’ve searched the entire inside and outside of the map for two and a half hours and still couldn’t find it. If you’re trying to 100% the achievements on this game…… good luck. This review has been made when the game essentially just released so I’m hoping the developers look into these bugs. This game is only ~$2 so I guess some flaws are to be expected.

Introduction

Starting the game was a bit weird as it booted in ‘small fullscreen’ with your mouse being shifted so I had to use the alt+enter trick to force it out of fullscreen and back into actual fullscreen again. Also check if your first kill achievement triggers. Mine didn’t so I had to reboot and replay the ‘story’

Shotgun Witch is a charming bullet hell style arena shooter in which you play as a witch wielding a shotgun to get her spellbook back from the baddies.

When asking the question of “What is the best video game?” there are many things to consider. Is it graphics? Is it skill? Is it story? Is it gameplay? Many a masterfully crafted game falls into more than one of these categories. For example: the DOOM series. Doom was revolutionary with not only varied mechanics, but mechanics never before seen in gaming. Superhot has a well made and downright mesmerizing core mechanic that everything else stems from, as well as a beautifully tragic tale. Minecraft draws you in with its prospect of creativity and keeps you there with its sentimentality. But none of these games have managed to reach pure perfection in gaming.

Lucky me has the dubious honour of writing the first review for Village Defender. Which makes me wonder if asset flippers are having problems manipulating this stuff with the usual VAC banned accounts they like to use for fake reviews.

Village Defender is a “template flip”, that is to say, it’s a “game” that has been produced by copying a game template from GameMaker Studio, changing a few things, then dumping the barely functional “product” on Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab. In this case it was a GameMaker Studio template for doing a simple 2D retro pixel wave survival brawler, with asset flipped sprites and tiles.

Attack Of UNDO Zai

General:

The sound and music are set to zero volume by default so I thought I had no sound for a second.

The menu broke when I looked at the keyboard controls. After clicking the back button from the controls screen, there was no back button on the main settings screen. I fixed this by pressing enter which brought me to the controls screen and then clicking back on the controls screen. The back button on the main settings screen was now there.

I like how you get the Bronze and Silver achievements for getting the Gold achievement at the end of a game.
