The Unexpected Quest

The Unexpected Quest

Note well: this is not really a combat game. If you’re looking for hack-and-slash, try elsewhere. This is a puzzle/strategy game, with resource collecting an essential feature. Yes, you fight monsters, but it’s not complicated; it isn’t meant to be. It’s your strategic abilities that come into play here above all; analysing each level for priorities is important, and so is deciding how to use your resources.

That said, I really like the cute characters and their quest against oddly comic undead. I love the strategic gameplay–for everyone who said ‘this is too easy’, there’s someone like me who prefers it on a more laidback level than (e.g.) Dark Souls!

Hell of Men : Blood Brothers

Hell of Men : Blood Brothers

This game is very interesting.

You will found classic mechanical (collect, build, train) but you found good new mechanicals like vehicles that you can have with the capture of strategic point, a cover system, etc… You can’t go with your army in one pack because one roquet can kill all of them!

It’s a challenge and I really like it. If you like RTS you can go !

Very simple… so it’s a blast to play!
