Dwarven Forge

Dwarven Forge

This game shows a lot of promise and i’ll be keeping a very close eye on it.

I’m recommending this game as a show of support for a game I wish to see finished however It isn’t exactly in a playable state currently due to bugs and possible balance issue (that or i just suck not sure yet lol).

The depth of the crafting with all the different qualities and material types really is something i’m looking forward to seeing when the game is more complete.

World of Wonder

It’s gorgeous. The vistas are stunning and once you fart around with some upgrades you can really rip around the place pretty quick.

By no means is it perfect, but for ten bucks it’s an easy recommendation.

Yikes.

Performance is hideous.

The gameplay is bland, you just surf from one area to the next, reading tutorials that are missing text because of the environment is covering it up.

The controls work sometimes and the grab detection is nonsense.

If you actually make it to an area without the numerous crashing you will get a sword with no vibration feedback.

And just as the lack of feedback so is the music. All you hear is wind.

Next area you get a gun thats not finished modelled.

And finally you get out of the tutorial just to get to an area filled with puzzles.

MONOLISK

MONOLISK

I’ve been playing this game for over a year on mobile.

Monolisk is an interesting free to play game, made by a small development team and has great potential.

It’s a fantastic freeware game that gives you the ability to build your own shards (maps) and possibility of combining them in one campaign, moreover, all the maps are created only by the player base. Unfortunately, this is a double-edged sword, but more on that later.

The map editor is very simple, but at the same time it is very functional. To create the shard you begin by selecting one of the realm card (available in 5 colours) which define the appearance and type of blocks available. Then we choose a same colour of shardstone (available in different sizes) that determines the maximum number of monsters, text signs, object and the number of available blocks.

ABRISS - build to destroy

ABRISS - build to destroy

ABRISS is an atmospheric physics-destruction building game.

Build structures from parts to let them crash into your targets. Unlock new parts, destroy more, witness entropy at its worst in digital-brutalist cityscapes. Build to destroy.

BUILD

Choose from parts with different weights, forms and functions to build a structure.

Thruster + Connector + Bomb? You just built a rocket.

Thruster + Rotator + Laser? You just built a rotating laser rocket.

Pillar + Connector + Ultra Heavy Cube? That’s a giant hammer.

Be creative and resourceful with the parts you get, try to destroy the target with less parts or in a more elegant way – it’s going to be a spectacle any way you do it.

DESTROY

Try to hit the main targets to win a level in campaign mode. Destroy an armored wall first so you can then shoot through the hole into the vulnerable center. Try to hit a bomb in the environment. Use environment mechanics like the giant Pistons to catapult Ultra Heavy Cubes into a target. Or just throw everything you have at your targets – that might just work too.

  • COMPLEX DESTRUCTION SYSTEM

    Simulated statics, thousands of little particles of debris, whole chunks of targets flying into the abyss – with little to no framerate spikes.

  • CAMPAIGN

    Five worlds with seven stages each, every stage a hand-crafted destructible cityscape. You will start each stage with a limited set of parts and you will need to find a strategy on how to use them to destroy all main target blocks. You will unlock new parts the further you progress, and every world comes with it’s own special environmental mechanic. You can always return to a stage to try to destroy a higher percentage of it, or do it in less moves.

  • SANDBOX

    Try out new patterns of building stuff. Play around with parts you haven’t unlocked yet. Try to fry

    your GPU with 1000 Lasers at once.

  • PHOTO MODE

    Take a free camera flying to get the best composition. Freeze or slow down time to get the perfect shot of the destruction you just caused. Apply filters to change the vibe of your photography. Export in wonderfully sharp 4k jpegs. Share them with us!

  • TURNAROUND GIF CAM

    Create your own perfectly looping turnarounds of the mayhem you cause!

Stonescape

Stonescape

I couldn’t say enough to properly convey my utter disappointment in a game that I am feeling right now writing this review. I will not go on a rant and sound too whiney. Stay away, maybe put it on your watchlist and see if they add something worthwhile, currently its a creative mode game with 21 building blocks to choose from. The lag is real with this game.

F**** NO not worth it, so many other games cheaper that are worth mine and your time. No game options at all, you get new game, continue and quit. When you are collecting stone with pickaxe the only item you have with no inventory your fps drops down to 6 fps for a short moment. So you collect stone and build that’s the whole game.

Carth

Carth

Carth is a multiplayer medieval light fantasy rpg that brings an enormous open world map to explore. The open world on Carth is filled with dozens of unique enemies, legendary items, scores of towns, and truly beautiful scenery. Carth is meant for long time game play and persistent worlds with heavy focus on survival, building, crafting, and the freedom to do what you want. Not to mention many smaller maps meant for faster game play types such as Siege, Team Deathmatch, Capture The Flag, Last Man Standing, Tournaments and more. Players shall be able to host their own public or private servers and select the type of game style they wish.

#### The Four Sibling Gods For hundreds of years the inhabitants of Carth lived in relative harmony. Carth was home to a multitude of different races, factions and clans. Though conflicts would arise from time to time, trouble would soon dissolve into the usual balanced equilibrium so typical of the land. All of this meant little to the four god siblings residing over the realm. The youngest of the four, Taernath, saw the inhabitants of Carth as weaker beings. At first, the dwellers of Carth were mere playthings. Slowly and subtly these manipulations turned towards true evil and corruption of their souls, minds, and bodies.

#### The Evil Within Taernath found the more souls he converted towards his ideals and worship the stronger he became. As a result, the Schism of the Gods came to pass. Once Taernath’s powers grew there was nothing his siblings could do but try to reason and slow his corruption. Their words fell on deaf ears and in one brilliant flash of cosmic light he reduced his siblings to nothing more than shadows of their former selves. With no one left to oppose him, Taernath was consumed by the very evil he once wielded. A darkness fell over Carth that had never been seen before. Portals to other realms opened by Taernath flooded the land with dark shadows and terrors. Tribes of orcs invaded further south from the Clincolt, unholy beings walked through the rifts, and peace was but a distant echo of the past. These are the times that you find at your feet.

#### Can you Survive Can you Survive with evil spread throughout all of the lands how shall you live your life? Shall you bend a knee to the evil that undoubtedly awaits you, or shall you stand and fight? Fight to survive, fight to live, or fight to end this darkness brought forth from Taernath? Can you survive in these times? Welcome to Carth

Open World Foreva

Open World Foreva

This game is all about living life, exploring and creating. In this online 2D game you can: Build, fight, explore, craft and much more.

The game consists of a large procedural world. And all players are inside the same world; as interactions between players is sought after.

You can play solo, or build with friends and protect your base.

Bases can be upgraded through exploring and finding new technology. You will be able to create energy systems & use it to power your bases. You can even exchange electricity by storing batteries and exchanging it with others!

Currently in Early Access(2021 June) to allow YOU to help decide what to add, change or improve!

Resource gathering & Base-building

Gathering resources is a big part of this game. Anything you come across can be broken down or picked up. Once one item is in your inventory.

You can either:

  • Place it in the world again

  • Use it when crafting with blueprint

  • Convert it into another component

Your base decays slowly over time. Or when attacked by players. The world is made to allow you to be gone for weeks at a time. As long as players haven’t destructed your base. Decaying will not occur too quickly. As this is about being able to create a world together with others.

As your base decays or gets damaged. You can right-click blocks to repair them.

Chests & doors have unique passwords. This allows you to share it amongst your crew to work together on things. Your base can also be stengthened by finding stronger blueprints for walls and doors.

Weapons & Bombs

Weapons & bombs are a part of the game. If you and your friends find people being unkind. You can take it upon yourselves to eradicate their base with C4, grenades & weapons.

Using C4 bombs can be used strategically. By placing them around your base. They will explode when anyone walks near them. Cheaper fake C4 bombs also exist. So you can more easily craft those & make enemies believe there might be C4 all around your base. But in truth there are fake C4 which won’t explode. Allowing you to use them as a hidden path into your base.

  • C4 bomb - explode & create lots of damage. To everyone surrounding them in a wider area.

  • Fake C4 - Appears to be a real C4, but creates no damage.

  • Grenade - Does some damage in a smaller area 2 seconds after being delayed. However, the enemy may pick it up and use it as a counter-attack before it explodes.

Weapons such as knives, clubs and swords exist. They may have an increased effect on stone and tree gathering.

Each weapon has:

  • A hit rate per minute - How many hits per minute it can do

  • A damage value per hit

  • Initial health which decays with hits

Open World Foreva is ONE WORLD

You heard it. There is only one world for all players(depending on US/EU). This means. You can meet up with others in the world & exchange items. You can attempt to find others bases to blow them up. Or possibly to just steal from them.

Maybe you’re the next “Negan”? Making sure they pay their fair price to not eradicate their base.

The world has a temporary world border. Meaning the world grows larger as the player demand for the game increases.

Currently the world is almost 1 KM * 1KM(0.62 miles * 0.62) in size.

Blueprints & Technology

You start out with a few standard blueprints. Such as:

  • Torch

  • Club

  • Simple Wall & Door.

When you kill things in the world. Or break them down into your inventory. There is a 10% chance of finding a new blueprint. A blueprint is used to be able to craft new things for you. Which for instance could help you increase your base’s strength.

Technologies can be created by finding blueprints. Tech will help you survive. For instance, some areas are colder and warmer than others. Too hot or too cold will damage your player. Therefore there is technology such as Heaters & Coolers.

Any technology created needs an energy source. Such as:

  • SolarCell

  • WindTurbine

  • Battery

Solarcells yield power depending on the time of the day & how much light that world area generally gets.

Windturbines generate power based on wind which varies every 30 minutes & also based on the area it is within.

Placement of your generators affect how much effect they give. To see this your can right-click the generators and monitor their output for a day or two.

Batteries are used for storing power which is not used by any machines at the time. When a battery no longer has anyincoming power from another source. It will automatically act as a generator until drained. Meaning a battery can power your lamps during night-time if you only have solarcells.

Machines that currently exists:

  • Heater - Heats the area by 10 degrees

  • Cooler - Cools area by 10 degrees

  • Digger - Digs for Coal, Gold, Copper & Stone

  • Small lamp - Lights a smaller area

  • Large lamp - Lights a bigger area

Plants

When you stroll around the world. You will quickly begin to see plants of different kinds. These can be eaten if full-grown. By clicking a plant; you pick it up in its current state. By placing a plant; it will then start growing. By right-clicking it; you can see whether it has disease or if it is yet full-grown.

Once a plant is full-grown. It generally converts into a FoodPackage when collected.

With this you can either:

  • A. Eat to increase your health

  • B. Select in your inventory. And convert into 3 baby plants. To grow more

Plants that can eaten area: Potatoes & Carrots

Non-edible plants: Cotton - Cotton is used when crafting clothes and some weapons

Clothes & Environment

As mentioned earlier. The world has different temperatures. Depending on the area you are inside. And based on the time of the day. Generally an area will have a similar temperature, but during night-time it will decrease.

There are currently two ways to survive extreme temperatures without damage:

  • A. Create clothing which provides resistance

  • B. Create a base with technology such as Heaters & Coolers

If you’re new. It is wise to find a warm, but no too warm area to live in. By opening your inventory you can check the current temperature in the area you are inside.

If the temperature is below 0 or above 50. You will be damaged.

Wind varies based on time and areas. And currently only affects Windturbines.

Crafting clothes

Crafting clothes is done for styling your character. And for providing insulation during cold times. New clothing blueprints are found by killing or breaking things in the world. You can also craft hairstyles.

Other info

The game has some similarities with Minecraft, Rust and Rimworld. But unique in the way that it supports a lot of players in the same world. A world which can be expanded depending on player demand.

Enjoy!

Please share your ideas & be a part of this game’s future!
