Nin Online

Nin Online

Ninja MMORPG with hardcore, old-school MMORPG inspirations and Open World PvP.

Free-to-play with zero Pay-to-win mechanics.

  • Choose from 3 Villages or become a Rogue Ninja

    Start off as in one of three factions, grow up in the safety of the gates of each village. But once you’re strong enough, you can choose to abandon your home and become a hermit… or even go rogue.

  • Open World PvP & Hardcore Game Design

    This may be a turn off for some, but Nin Online is a very hardcore game. So take this as a word of warning… Absolute freedom when it comes to PvP also means a bad time for some with a low tolerance for being killed for no reason. But for others, it’s just another reason to get stronger in this harsh Ninjaverse.

  • Deep Character Customization in the right places

    Choose to be part of a clan, join an organization or sign a contract with an animal familiar. Combined with thousands of equip-able items, no two ninja will ever look or be the same. Nin Online is a game where you are encouraged to express yourself. Looking good doesn’t cost you to lose fights.

  • Friendly and active community & developers

    The greatest feature of Nin Online is it’s tight knit community. The developers are active in our chat channels and have been constantly listening to feedback improving it since it’s release. The game is still in active development with updates being made on a weekly and sometimes daily basis.

G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout

G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout

I do recommend this game, albeit with some caveats.

G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout is an old-fashioned third-person shooter with 17 missions, across which you get to play as twelve characters total (six each for the Joes and Cobra). The game is obviously a love letter to the original 80s cartoon, and given the comments the developers make in the art book, they worked with what they had and would’ve make a more robust game if given the choice. If you like G.I. Joe and don’t boot up the game expecting a triple-A title, I think you’ll have a good time.

I honestly couldn’t tell you why this game got so slammed at release. I picked it up in a Fanatical Platinum bundle and powered through the whole thing in one sitting - and it was worth every penny. Definitely a budget title, but between the self-aware humor, earnest appreciation for the IP, and damn fun action (even the vehicle sections!), Operation Blackout might actually be the first genuinely GOOD G.I. Joe game!? It basically is like if Volition’s Agents of Mayhem was a linear action game rather than a sandbox grind, and it works so much better as a result!

Bloody Efforts

Bloody Efforts

Imagine your own mighty Heroes and make them REAL in Bloody Efforts.

Story:

_There were two Ancient Gods - Known and his older brother Unknown. The elder God created a whole world with mighty Elements and the younger one gave this world a life with all forms we know. Unfortunately, there was a conflict between the brothers, which turned into the battle. Clash of the Gods disturbed the world balance and brought many cataclysms upon all the races. The Elements began to fight each other and what is worse, a new ominous being appeared – the Hollow.

Until then, only a fraction of humanity managed to survive. Probably everyone would have been dead a long time ago, but something unexpected happened to the races. A new kind of people appeared, called Apostles. They are significantly different – stronger, faster, but the most remarkable is their ability to subdue power of the Elements. Some of the Apostles fight to restore order and peace once again. Others cooperate in achieving common goals. There are individuals who want to find remnants of the Gods or even get along with the Hollow, devoting their souls in exchange for new horrific powers. And who will you choose to be?_

Game features:

  • Free to Play

  • 2D GaaS Multiplayer Fighting Game

  • Wild fantasy world inspired by oriental culture

  • Quick and dynamic Combats + calm and mindful preparation of Heroes

    and Bands between Matches

  • Many various Team and Solo Modes (competitive as well as chill & fun)

  • Account level-based progression with lots of unlockable Content

  • Soldat + Little Fighter 2 + Soul Calibur + Super Smash Bros + MOBA + our vision = Bloody Efforts

More than just a Fighting Game:

Limitless Customization and Challenges

Comprehensive Fighter Builder allows to create awesome unique Heroes (both appearance and playstyle) or imitate already existing pop-culture characters and play them in Bloody Efforts. Playing another match may bring a completely fresh playstyle and tactics from new opponents.

Switch Fighters during the Game

Player needs to strategically choose their Band of 6 Apostles before the Match. Apostles are not equally matched and fit various roles (Warriors, Shooters, Tanks, Mages, Supporters, Assassins etc.). They get serious advantages or suffer disadvantages in different battle scenarios.

Killing is not everything (MOBA-like)

3-phased Modes with various Objectives make an opportunity to think tactically about the next move. Defending the base, setting the trap or outsmarting in Apostle choices can be the key to victory.

Setting Sun

Setting Sun

Setting Sun is an Co-op Rogue-lite Dungeon Crawler.

It’s set in a universe during the Japanese Edo period where Yokai roam the world freely.

The land is in turmoil because the Shogun rules with an iron fist.

A couple of wanderers answer the call to help mankind and fight the source of the corruption together.

THE SHOGUN’S DOMAIN

Traverse through a randomly generated room-based dungeon covering multiple zones on your way to the castle.

Several different types of rooms can be discovered on your way to the boss like enemy rooms, healing rooms, gamble rooms,…

THE SHINTO PANTHEON WATCHES OVER YOU

You have a chance to discover Dragon Shrines in the dungeon which will allow you to alter your abilities for that dungeon run.

So each time you start a new dungeon run you can try out a different build.

REBUILD THE VILLAGE

Aside from the dungeon the game also contains a village.

The village is like a sanctuary for the player where he can roam around before and after dungeon runs, talk to NPCs, buy upgrades, craft gear and more!

When you first start the game, the town is pretty abandoned.

But along your travels in the dungeon, you have a chance to find new characters to recruit to your town which unlocks new features.

For example finding Masamune on your travels will unlock the blacksmith in town and will allow you to craft new gear with better stats.

THE WANDERER

Multiple classes are planned but the first playable class in Setting Sun is the Ronin.

A Ronin was a Samurai without a master. An expert in the art of sword fighting but one who chose not to honor the code of the Warrior and thus considered “on his own” or a vagrant.

MAIN FEATURES

  • Slice your way through a procedurally generated dungeon

  • Master a skill-based fighting system

  • Learn the ways of the Ronin class (and several other classes planned)

  • Fight the Shogun’s army, thiefs, Yakuza and even Yokai

  • Try out different builds each run by discovering new blessings

  • Play the game solo or couch co-op

  • Recruit new allies and bring life back to the village

  • Unlock new buildings and features in town

  • Find new patterns to craft different gear sets or cook new Sushi dishes

  • Enjoy a unique trapanese soundtrack

  • Take a relaxing bath in the hot springs

What the heck…no mouse support in 2021?

I felt like I had stepped back in time to 1989, before every PC had a mouse. But instead, I just stepped into this dev’s awful game that you have to use a controller or the keyboard to play. Absolute garbage.
