Severed Steel

Severed Steel

This is an awesome experience. It’s been a long time since an action game has given me the kind of rush that this one does. The great action-movie mechanics, the incredible soundtrack and the wonderful stylised art all come together to make an experience straight out of kickass action films. If you want to squeeze every last drop out of this game I HIGHLY recommend playing this on Severed Steel difficulty from the start. It’ll frustrate you at first, it’ll take a while to get the hang of it, but when it finally clicks and you start pulling off and chaining together ridiculously cool combat stunts, that’s when the “wow” factor and adrenaline rush kick in hard. Playing on any of the lower difficulties (especially Cold Steel) will drastically dull the experience, and you’ll finish the game in two to three hours with absolutely no challenge and very little thrill. Then for replayability, run the challenges at similar difficulty levels and try to beat your own score. Then there are the modifiers for even more fun. It’s not as easy as it sounds. This is NOT your standard first person shooter. Don’t bother with cover and don’t try to snipe from a distance. Charge in like Doom Guy and kick off some stunts, dodge and weave, and destroy your enemies in a beautiful dance of ninja acrobatics and explosive Gun Fu. Flow like water, and kill them all!

Did you ever wonder what if Max Payne was a woman who lost her arm and she was taking acid instead of painkillers?

Severed Steel is exactly that.

It’s a high-octane movement shooter that rewards the player for perfoming stunts like diving, sliding and wallrunning with invincibility and infinite slow-mo. Don’t expect tactiful gunfighs like in F.E.A.R. where you use slow-mo mostly when you feel overwhelmed, here you throw yourself at your enemies to live. You can’t sidestep individual bullets like in Max Payne or Super Hot, you have rely on stunts to dodge. Healing is done by killing people, so it’s like Doom but without the middle-man.

Great game!

even tho its kinda short, it´s a lot of fun and the mechanics are awesome.

I honestly have only one small problem with it, and that’s that the “tractor beam” sometimes doesn’t work right on the first try.

achievements

the last achievement - beat Arcade mode on Very Hard difficulty is very tough and if you are not fond of boss-rush genre, then you will get a hard time. you basically need to beat all levels and all bosses on a single health bar, no medkits or continue (on very hard difficulty, mind you). all achievements are straightforward, non-broken and fair

First of all it’s not tiny in terms of gameplay time. I personally put in more than 25 hours into it. But it’s not for a single playthrough. I have to mention though that there are only 7 levels broken up into smaller sections. I played some levels many times. But more on that later. Let’s start with what this game is about.

This is a fast-paced 2D side scroller with a lot of weapons, awesome game mechanics, variety of enemies and it requires some skill to complete it. There are numerous achievements to unlock some of which require hard training. Others are surprisingly simple but require you to read the description of the achievement to get the idea of how to unlock it. As for the graphics there’s not much to say but it’s nice and pretty in its own way and the art style is consistent and corresponds to game’s theme.

Sairento VR delivers fast paced, yet strategic sword-and-gun gameplay that really allows a players individual style to shine through. Unrestricted to ‘classes’, players level up and can diversify in any element they wish… gunplay, swordplay, slo-mo… by placing skillpoints you can improve bullet-time duration, durability, special skills such as bullet reflection and even force-wave katana slash capabilites. The diversity of character builds is seemingly limitless with weapon and armor customisations, supported by a Diablo-esque loot grind.

Real player with 170.4 hrs in game

In short, this game epitomizes for me the road ahead for VR and has been my most fulfilling VR experience to date.

LOCOMOTION: A superb game that’s growing sometimes by the day, no VR game has come close to Sairento’s brilliant movement mechanics, allowing brilliant jumps, slides, wall runs and teleportations all with the added benefit of having bullet time at your whim and command.

WEAPONS: A vast array of melee, projectiles and firearms allow you to personalise your specific ninja combat strategy. Specific teired relics allow further customization of how each weapon behaves and gives you a fair amount of power to tweak your loadout. Armour has a similar mechanic: eg. boots that give you an extra jump if you want to be above the fray spaying bullets down, or wall sticky boots that allow you to gain a static vantage point and snipe.

Red Ronin

Red Ronin

Imagine Hotline Miami or maybe Katana Zero being a turn based tactical puzzler. That is what Red Ronin actually does. And it does it very well.

The main concept of the game is very interesting. Similarly to the above mentioned titles in Red Ronin every level is you fighting a couple of enemies, you must kill them all to proceed and both you and them die in one hit. However both you and your enemies move in a turn based way and you must outmaneuver them and kill them one by one avoiding putting yourself in a vulnerable position. That is not all, your character does not actually moves - instead she dashes with no distance limitations, only stopping by hitting an obstacle. This can be advantageous as you can strike your foes and instantly be so far away that they won’t be able to reach you but at the same time abusing it too much may end up with you having no place do dash but right into your own death.

Full review (including score): https://youtu.be/Lga1uQ-2Dv4

Summarized review below!

Turn-based tactical dash n’ slash with a Hotline Miami aesthetic, that’s what you can expect from Red Ronin. It’s a neat little indie game developed over the last two years by one dude out of Brazil.

Note: Trimmed review to fit character limit, check video for full version!

Gameplay:

Red Ronin may look like a mashup of genres, but at its core, it’s actually a puzzle game. You’re tasked with clearing each room of enemies and reaching the exit without getting hit. Moving in one direction moves you all the way until you hit a wall and you’ll have to take advantage of this in order to dispatch of each enemy. Seems simple, but this is by no means an easy game. In fact, it’s one of the hardest puzzles games I’ve played in quite some time.

Rule No. 1

Rule No. 1

Real fun game, appropriately price, with a cool OST that you can change on the fly, loads of guns, and a fun main character with many awesome (and some really silly) one liners. Rule No. 1 is still in Early Access but haven’t really run into any bugs myself. The pixel art is a nice throwback to classical games, with many nods to games like Blood and Shadow Warrior in the one liners, and many movie quips. The first game mode is wave based, and you begin fighting explodey shapes that get progressively harder, and more enemy variants appear the further you get, until it turns into an absolute cluster of stuff flying all over the place. The devs are also great, as they seem to keep working hard on it, and are very responsive to the communities feedback to make the best possible game out of their concept. They recently added another game-mode for shooting some hoops xD, which I didn’t expect but it works really well, and is a quick way to grind some exp. I can’t wait to see what other game modes they’ll be adding to this, and hope to see some kind of campaign someday even if it’s in a different game altogether hint hint. The character is fun enough that I’d like to see her in some kind of campaign of sorts in a similar vein to some of the games she gives nods to. I’m really glad I bought Rule No. 1 on a whim because it’s definitely been worth a shot, and it’s only going to get better!

Rating / Bewertung: 01/10

English:

Game installs problem-free on Windows 10.

At the start of the game, the first problem comes to light:

you are immediately in the game - without any possible volume settings etc.

Also no help, which functions there are in the game …

You are constantly playing in the same screen area and can only click left or right to change direction or to shoot around there, with the figure itself running in the previously selected direction within the screen area, which is why you find death quickly and often, especially since the opponent is simply short show up without warning. So a very chaotic control and programming.
