Malicious Mages

Malicious Mages

Malicious Mages is a capture the flag brawler – Choose from a various cast of magic users and battle it out against other players to capture the mysterious blue orb.

Everyone is after this glowing blue orb. Fight other players to grab the orb and bring it to your side of the level to win. Once you get it there, you have to place the orb down and protect it for ten seconds until you score.

What’s the gameplay like?

You play the game locally against other players, the levels are completely symmetrical and you have to move across the side-scrolling stage traveling from room to room until you reach your goal. 3D characters in a 2D plane

Each player has a very low health bar. It doesn’t take many hits to kill a player, killing them is just a way to quickly get them out of your way so you can keep moving to your goal. After you kill them, they respawn quickly ahead of you in your path.

The Side-Scrolling Camera tracks the player that currently has the orb. If you go off-screen, you will disappear and then respawn ahead of the running player’s path.

The level is broken down into different rooms. Once the running player with the orb goes into another room, the screen fades and the opposing player despawns and respawns in the next room.

Each player can cast powerful spells. Spells are considered specials, once you’ve gathered enough mana from breaking props in the level you can use them to give yourself an advantage or deal a terrible blow.

Base attacks are free. Players have a catalog of free combat actions they can do to attack the other player without needing mana

What’s the story about?

In modern times, a cast of magic users fight to gain control over a mysterious blue orb.

If they have control over the orb during a special alignment, they can use the orb to summon The Painter a god that painted the night sky. The Painter will then grant them very dangerous power. All of these mages have their own compelling reasons to gain control, who will come out on top?

Ogre Tale

Ogre Tale

It has it’s problems sure and that’s ignoring the glitches which they are working on and mostly fixed, I only had one issue that may have been my own even so it’s definitely playable, the game when you get how to play is great and can be expanded with various scrolls/equipment, much like others I wish the scrolls weren’t permanent as it means you get your final weapon and if you scrolled it can’t really replace it or get a new one unless you can only own one so can discard it and regain it but who would ever risk that dood?

Where They Cremate The Roadkill

Where They Cremate The Roadkill

Where do I begin - I’ve just recently finished this game. It’s been in my library for a good time now but I just got around to finishing it with two endings (one being the dead end ending) I got this as soon as I could as soon as it was released because I have played the creator’s previous games Gingiva and Middens. I was not disappointed - quite the opposite. If you are familliar with the two aformentioned, it’s a bit of a step in an experimental direction as far as gameplay goes as it is a beatemup. It takes a little getting used to but it isn’t widely difficult to.

Imagine if Ralph Bakshi just know how to create a video game and just made one of the most insane looking world he ever come up with, you got Where they cremate the roadkill. A game that base on what I research for this review is this is the third game created by a developer who had successfully launch at kick starter and previous of his games included Middens and Gingiva. Which I heard those two were made in RPG Maker and has a small fan base over those two games. I only briefly looked at the gameplay and is…different to say the least.

Daily Espada

Daily Espada

Daily Espada is a small gem, a 2D action with gameplay very dynamic and entertaining.

In the game there are many upgrades and extras such as super attacks, new combos etc.

Very beautiful boss battles, in maximum difficulty becomes truly play difficult, but still VERY fun!

In short, a game that does not cost much, and it provides a solid gameplay and fun!

I recommend it, and it’s a shame to see so few reviews, because the game is worth so much!

Slashing Brazilian folklore monsters and bosses, saving the world and making your family rich in the wierdest game show ever? Sign me up. The game is short by my accounts. Graphics are dark and unique, but also can lead to some visual confusion. Not greatness, but fun, short, but enjoyable.

Last Kids on Earth and the Staff of Doom

Last Kids on Earth and the Staff of Doom

I wanted to at least complete the main story mode to give a proper review; I really had fun with this game, I’m super into the show and the books, but not exactly on the whole Action RPG formula (although this one reminded me a lot of Mercenary Kings, and that game rocks) so that says how well the characters can carry you along to keep you hooked xD

If you’re a fan of the show, you’re gonna love this game… Jack Sullivan as a protagonist can be annoying at times (and I like the guy LOL) so I don’t blame you if you find his narration obnoxious, that’s like… his thing, but then again it feels like something from season 1 of the show (considering the game was produced along it) and since then the characters had evolved a bit more ^^

This game is an incredible piece of crap. It NEVER boots into a usable interface and thus can’t be played. REFUND NOW!!
