Garbage: Hobo Prophecy

Garbage: Hobo Prophecy

Can’t recommend the game, based on the demo…

You start out with RIDICULOUSLY little resources, and then you’re supposed to survive and scrounge together a living by traveling to different areas/zones to collect more resources. The problem is that my hobo died of cold before I could get warmth (since your hunger/warmth/hygiene/energy is constantly draining from the start of the game). This makes the game a constant juggle of your hobo(s)’s resources and your hobo camp is raided by other hobos every couple of minutes. I think that the game could be playable, if there were more resources to be gotten or if there was a reliable way to generate resources, but currently there isn’t. Now, that would make the game playable, but it still wouldn’t be enjoyable imo. Quite a lot of stuff needs to be done before this game becomes enjoyable, nevermind playable. So in its current state, I can’t recommend the game, but I’ll try the full version of the game down the line and see if that is at least good enough to be recommended.

I’ve had a chance to test this game on my friends account and I can to say one thing for a fact - this game is difficult.

One thing is watching how someone plays it, but the real deal is playing it. Very soon you realise it shares some similarities with heroes of might and magic 3, where few silly decisions can cost your life in future.

The game keeps punishing you for every mistake you do, nor training too much, neither trying to quickly go through the quests will do the trick. I love the way this game tingles your anxiety when the winter comes and you realise that your main issue is not the food anymore. Stacking up supplies might help you pass through the winter which reminded me a great strategy game - Northgard.

In depth at first– TL;DR at the end.

Ok, so, I have beaten this game right before the thirty hour mark and what do I have to say. It’s good. But, it’s bad. And, what I mean by this is simple as any other problem found with games similar in case. The basic lay out is very nice, no lie– if you played Monster Rancher or the Digimon games, you’ll like this. If you like Darkest Dungeon or Dark Souls, you’ll like this. If you like AoE, Civ, Banished, Endzone and so many other games like these, you very well may end up liking this. This is a resource management, unit grinding, hardcore rpg adventure.

THIS GAME IS INCOMPLETE DO NOT BUY!

To start, it is an auto save function with no choice of you being able to save except what the game claims.

A few mechanics that makes this game just terrible, it is an auto attack, pick your moves and let it play out type of game. It gives a false advertisement that you get to “pick your fighter” and develop like an RPG. NOPE! You assign moves, everything plays out, characters can get stuck walking in circles as you get beat up. Any settings you adjust in the options menu, resets every game.

Water Drift is a reskinned clone of another game likely by the same developer, Space Ship DRIFT . Once again, it’s a sluggish, uncooperative racer built on low res textures and frustrating physics. With only one ship, one track, and no customization or modes to choose from, you’ll see everything it has to offer in a single lap.

Looking past the aquatic scenery, this app has déjà vu written all over it. The following is largely lifted from my review of its aforementioned predecessor, released just a month earlier:

Darwin’s Aquarium

Darwin’s Aquarium

The game is a realtime fish simulation with realtime learning artificial intelligence.

Build up a tank, start training and breeding your own fish and maybe some day, start defeating the big evil bossfish!

Earn money by advancing your breeding capabilities, improve your breeding grounds and unlock more valuable fish.

You’ll see plenty of unbelievable fish interaction: Fish that start hunting, fleeing, cooperating. Some might learn to farm algae, other might start to bait less harmful fish… who knows..? There is no limit to the interaction of the fish and every evolution of species can bring new features. Make sure you select your fish carefully and only breed the fittest, so you can compete against the other fish.

It’s up to you and your fish to cooperate with other players or just defeat them- but be warned: Your fish are getting intelligent. They might have their own will soon!
