PLACEFRONT

Just diving into this new release. I think it has a ton of promise if the props & features keep coming. It’s hard to find a creative game to simply build and interact with your town/city without having to play mayor. This is about bringing a town or city design to low poly life, then interacting with your idea from a car or plane level. I’m supporting this game because it has some great potentials for creatives to make scenes & even plot other creative endeavors in seconds, to see how it will or might look elsewhere.

Great game, play one of the pre-made areas first, and just drive and fly around. Lots of fun, well worth the price. It Even now has battle mode and you can place tanks on each side to fight eachother, and even drive them too.

Glittermitten Grove

Glittermitten Grove

Okay, since this is not the “normal” game we are getting here, so i am gonna first talk about the “Main game”, the one we are sold with, the one with the game title - Grittermitten Grove. Especially for those who didn’t know the “dark secret” behind this game at the time they hit the buy button.

This game reminds me a lot of the PC98 Pixy Garden (ピクシーガーデン 妖精伝説) back in 1995. Such nostalgia! Haven’t really seen a similar genre of that type since, I’ve played Creatures and other monster breeding/town management games but none of them gives me that special feeling from Pixy Garden, until i find this game. This game is like a combination of Pixy Garden with Terraria’s suvival and terraforming touch, making it much more difficult and intriguing.

Glittermitten grove is, in and of itself, a very simply fun game with a shallow learning curve and an immediately apparent reward for learning the game’s fairly simple mechanics. It’s nice to look at, it’s original, and it’s a worthwhile time-waster if you’re into building bases and managing resources. There’s not really an endgame and the depth leaves quite a bit to be desired, but we all know that’s not the game you want to hear about.

Frog Fractions 2, or TXT World as it’s called in-game, does not measure up to its predecessor. I’ll admit, it’s got a very unique sort of charm, and the minigames that are unlocked are funny enough; the glaring issue is that the game utterly lacks the spirit and sense of absurdism and unpredictable over-the-top progression that, in my opinion, made the original Frog Fractions great. The game is interesting and engaging to a point, the difficulty is tough but fair and easy to adjust to, but rather than an imaginative journey from humble beginnings through a goofy and nonsensical plot that retains cohesion with interesting – if consistently silly – writing; TXT World serves as a sort of ascii hub through which to access games that feel like in-jokes and collectibles that reward you with cheap nonsense meant to make one laugh through its randomness and reference to pop culture. The entire time I was playing, I was left wondering, “When does the real game start?” to which the game replied, “Never.” If you’re a die-hard Frog Fractions fan and want to see what the developers did with the kickstarter money they raised, then you can spend $20 on a nifty resource manager and a collection of game jam titles, and hopefully prove my feelings about this game wrong. As it stands, however; I cannot reccomend this game. I was disappointed and saddened by this title, and while I don’t regret purchasing it, I couldn’t encourage any of my friends to spend their money on this end product. Maybe wait for it to go on sale? I don’t know.

Million to One Hero

Million to One Hero

I am having fun with it, but don’t get your hopes up for new levels being made. I had this game for about 1 1/2 months and have only seen 1 other person make 2 levels (the game has a lot of older levels though). Also, I have like 3 to 4 people clear the levels I have made (only can see who has cleared the level and not failed it.) , and people can’t up vote a level until they have cleared it.

You can also increase your rank by doing task in other players levels ( kill baddies with a bow, or collect orbs), but the rank doesn’t seem to do anything that I am aware of. Good luck trying to get a task done though if players don’t use certain things in their levels.

Another underrated lever editor platformer, Million to One Hero hits a great balance of fun platforming and adventure-based story. While the editor can take a bit to learn, it has a few key additions that separate this game from other level editors, such as NPCs and dialogue. It also features an adventure creator, where you can string multiple levels together to make a larger story.

As is, Million to One Hero is a solid level editor game, and while it could use a bit more work to make it great, it is certainly one worth checking out and I heartily recommend it.

Actraiser Renaissance

First of all, this is a QUINTET remaster. The mere fact that this game exists is a tremendous blessing for a certain cult fanbase.

The obvious bias aside, is the game good?

Short answer: Yes. Long answer: IT COULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH MORE

It’s obvious that a lot of faithful effort was put into remastering this game. From including Yuzo Koshiro’s amazing soundtrack and accompaniment to the astounding artwork given to the many characters, menus and intro cutscene. People put their sweat and tears into this, and it shows in that regard.

A great example on how to make a remake. Renaissance does an excellent job of bring the original SNES games action and town sim into a modern era with new graphics, classic and remixed soundtrack, and expanded story that makes you feel more immersed in what was a somewhat bare-bones world before.

The new artwork is great and the story telling is actually quite deep. Everything reads like a positive psalm with the writing really showing some great character development and overall storytelling. Which is good as all the new characters do little gameplay wise. The story is the only way you will interact and learn about the characters and their backstories.

My Sunny Resort

My Sunny Resort

I love tycoon/management games, but this one doesn’t make the cut. The interface is unnecessarily clunky. Completing quests causes a pop-up which lags your game and provides no interaction other than to notify you that you won XP. Could have just as easily done text on the side notifying us of this fact. Wouldn’t lead to lag or having to move the mouse to click out of the interface so you can continue running your resort.

Holiday event keeps crashing the game.

And speaking of crashing, the game goes offline several times a day.

This is another fun and entertaining F2P game. Because I am also playing “My Little Farmies” I had no problems getting to know the mechanics of this game - both are very similar.

As with all F2P games of this type, patience is needed if you want to advance without spending a lot of real money. In fact, you don’t need to spend any real money to play this type of game. All it takes is patience.

–- — —

I just wanted to add that the guests are asking for advanced objects much too early on in the game. To get the higher-end items, you have to train your staff to be able to make them, and they have to be trained quite a few times in some cases before the object in question is available (like bananas). It would be better if the guests didn’t ask for those items so early on in the game or at least just a couple, but not all of them, as they do.

Regions Of Ruin

Regions Of Ruin

tldr: a fun unique game that brings back memories of Kingdom combined with a skill based open world RPG. Enough available content alrady in the Early Access version, lots of unique areas to visit, enemies to fight, quests to do, loot and resources to collect in order to gear up fight bosses, level up and unlock more skills to complete quests and build your dwarven kingdom.

If Kingdom and Elder Scrolls had a baby, that would be called Regions of Ruin. RoR is hevily inspired by Kingdom but it’s a completely different game at the same time, it’s a side-scrolling RPG where you explore, fight, level up, and build your town. The world has a ton of unique areas, quests, loot and resources waiting for you. You will die a lot or you can change the difficulty if you are not into fighting signigicantly better than you enemies, you can visit and complete each area in the order you chose and you can recruit mercenaries to assist you in combat and workers to farm resources for you.

Overview

Regions of Ruin is good game that combines many different video game genres. This game includes: platforming, RPG elements, real-time battles, city-building, horde survival, and puzzles. Unlike other games that have attempted this kind of hybrid, this game succeeds in creating a great balance between every element. Every system plays into each other, though there are a few flaws with some systems. Sounds is enjoyable and satisfying. The graphics are pixel are and look a bit basic, but it works as intended. Everything is easy to discern from one another graphically. The story is quite interesting, but if story isn’t the player’s favorite element, they can skip most dialogue and story with ease.
