Braveland Heroes

Braveland Heroes

the most unfair game of all times…

actually I like this kind of game concept, and it (could have been) isn’t a successful one.

However;

i. there is no info about the game. there are lots of hidden bonuses, which is not possible to find out. maybe by spending hunderds (!) of hours and figuring it out is possible.

ii. there are a few too much powerful characters (ex: Cook, swordsman) most of the time you face these characters. Or you pay huge amount of money (I mean thousands of money to get a full stack) and buy much more powerful character. and happily there are not many people doing it. So everyone plays with these two characters. So after a while it is frustrating(!)

Hi, i liked this one at the beginning.. but there are no challenges or progress after lvl 20.. You have to pay money or to grind everyday to be able to buy monster. The price for the Monster is increasing at the beginning it is only like 200 gold per Monster per day at lvl 1 and it is like 1200 gold per Monster if you reach lvl 20. You can do a little more money at lvl 20 than at lvl 1 of course but it is certainly not 600% more, its only like 50% more… The game hooks you up at the beginning saying:“hey it’s easy and fun” and after 200 hours of playing it says: “give me your money or you will stand still for a long long time”

Halo: Spartan Strike

Like its predecessor “Spartan Assualt”, the game is a from above “twin stick” shooter spin-off Halo game.

As mentioned in that review I recommend playing it with a Xbox-360/One Controller.

The story line is about palying as a Spartan/s, denying the enemies the conquest of Earth.

Now you will start to face the Prometheans, the enemies introduced in “Halo 4” and the graphics and overall game experience has improved with this installment.

There are still 30 missions, but the side-missions (still 3 per level) are now displayed with the start of each mission and if you replay the mission you can even track the progress towards each mission. This is a great improvement and the grind missions are fewer, but still some annoying ones. Overall I also felt that the difficulty was lower in this game eventhough I excpect theme to finish in about the same time. You can also make things easier by buying “perks-per mission”( do not remember what they are called) increasing damage or score awarded etc. This is really helpful for achieving some of the harder gold medals.

Contraption Maker

Contraption Maker

I used to like this game. A lot. I won firts place in one of their contests, and second place in another. For which I received reward in the form of steam games. Contraption maker is a great example of a game that never stops growing. Even now, they keep adding new content to it.

But… things havetemporarily changed.

Top Meadow and Game Dev Castle took over the development and publishing of the game, and I get the feeling that they don’t really care about the game itself anymore. They look at things from a rather business perspective which is bad for this type of game’s health. I am talking about DLC packs, and the fact that they ruin this game’s fun of uploading and sharing contraptions, puzzles and mods.

If I think about my earliest days of video gaming, back before I got into my classic platformers like Sonic the Hedgehog, the title that stands out to me the most (amidst many education-focused games) was The Incredible Machine. A game that tests your ingenuity to solve puzzles, and your imagination to create them. Many of my fondest gaming memories from those days came from T.I.M. I got this game when it was in alpha, and the fact that I got to play any part in this game’s development, even just by messing around with the parts and reporting bugs, is something truly special to me.

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed Collection

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed Collection

I like Sonic games but I’ve never been a huge fan. I do however love an arcade racing game and this is the best one I’ve played. The list of games this is better than is long, but it beats out Mario Kart and the Nickelodeon clone by a mile. Drifting quickly becomes intuitive, the AI usually isn’t as cheaty as other games, and the items are well balanced. There’s a decent variety of characters to choose from, many of which are from obscure SEGA properties which really helps if you don’t want to just play as Sonic or Knuckles.

Crashlands

Crashlands

My playtime: 73.8h (based on steam, 100% achievement)

Grindy Achievement(s): Yes (~3 achievements).

Optional Achievement(s): Yes (~29 achievements).

Difficult Achievement(s): Yes (~2 achievements).

Intro

Crashlands is a game where you have to gather resources, kill enemies, and craft items to defeat bosses.

Pros:

  • 4 difficulties

  • 3 game modes

  • Unique bosses

  • You can finish quests in any order that you want

  • A lot of craftable items, including the ones used for decoration purposes

It’s one of those games that make you wish that Steam had a more complex grading system rather than the binary one. Crashlands is a game that reminds many (including myself) of Don’t Starve. In my opinion it is to Don’t Starve, what American remakes are to European original films. It’s goofier and more flashy, but in the process loses the idea of what makes the original so genius.

Gameplay

Crashlands drops you into an alien world, where you need to craft and help the locals to retrieve the packages lost during the crash landing. You have to scavenge and hunt mobs for materials that allow you to craft better gear and challenge harder mobs. It’s actually fun for the first few hours, until you notice, this is it, that’s basically the whole game. Just grind to craft another workstation, another weapon, another armour. It might have been okay as one of the possible activities, but it gets really old when it’s the only activity available. And you have to do it a lot. There are 35 levels of equipment and they increment in twos. This means, the same gameplay loop has to be repeated around 17 times, that’s at least 10 times too many. It’s also possible to ‘domesticate’ pets, until you notice, that it’s basically another part of the crafting system as the domesticated pets create materials which you’ll need to create your weapons and armours with. It doesn’t really help that the design of most of the gear is rather uninspiring. You can have the same sword/axe/helmet/etc. every 2 levels. I mean, it looks different, but the only actual difference is that it deals a bit more damage than the same item of the lower tier and a bit less damage than the item of the next tier. Only the gadgets and devices are a small breath of fresh air, at least some of them offer interesting, new mechanics.
