9th Dawn III

9th Dawn III

9th Dawn III is a great hack-and-slash dungeon crawler/RPG with a lot of content. The game has a semi-open world concept with limited access to areas related to the main story. There is a predefined path to progress in the game, but the number of optional dungeons gives a lot of freedom. I enjoyed the storyline, even if it is a clichéd “save the world from evil” scenario.

You can definitely tell that the developers put a lot of attention to detail in this game. There is a huge amount of items, skills, monsters and general things you can do in the game. You can go fishing and make a meal out of your catch, or you can go mining and forge a new weapon etc.

9th Dawn III is a 2D pixel take on a huge open world filled with smithing, jewelcrafting, alchemy, cooking, taming monsters, a card game along with the usual dungeon crawling and loot that are familiar for everyone. The animation and art for this game are it’s weakest points, which as an artist I hate saying. On the plus side, everything else is so damned good that you will get past the look of it pretty damned quickly. It is singularly my only “complaint” about this game, and even there the dark dreary textures that seem to blend into each other are vastly outweighed by amazingly implemented gameplay mechanics, a fun little story that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and a plethora of crafting minigames and card minigames that will keep you entertained for hours.

Very low effort, buggy and looks like it was thrown together over a weekend. 34.99 GBP for this is a joke.

Almighty: Kill Your Gods

Almighty: Kill Your Gods

Getting to the point, this game is epic.

I didn’t buy it initially due to the high number of negative reviews. I read all of them at the time, including the positive. Then on a whim, i just bought the game…… and i’m so glad I did.

Honestly, 90% of the negative reviews i read, i have no idea what they were talking about. A lot of them logged more or less than an hour of game time. i’m not even sure they played more than 15 minutes and this game looks really big.

The cut scenes…. i love them. it’s a story based game. They don’t lag, they are mostly just the ancestor figure talking at you and they add a vital element to this complex “world” and story. i’ve just never been bothered by them. most are near the beginning of play as the early quests are made to set you up with getting to know the game which is really useful because there is A LOT to do and be done to progress. a few almost redundant explanations are given related to controls and standard gameplay, but they never get in your way, they are short and simply not on the level in the negative reviews.

To my experience, the game is above average, but not very high. I can easely give it a rough 6/10 at best, or going a little lower to 5.5/10.

For an Early access, when it came out, the game was a mess, almost unplayable. With patches and some optimisations, it starts to run smoothier on my end. They also included some quality of life for an EA to get more stuff in the game itself. That’s the plus.

As for the gameplay, Almighty is litterally a HOARD type of gaming. You kill. You rescue. You Capture. You dig. You loot everything as you can find for your need and for your village and you extract your ressources to the Extractor Portals around the Islands you visit. That’s pretty much what the main gameplay mechanic is.

When we were offered this key, we honestly didn’t know what to expect–we’d beaten the heck out of Overcooked and Dungeon Defenders before, and this seemed similar, but we were skeptical.

Welp, WE WERE WRONG.

This game hooked us quick and DIDN’T LET GO–it’s sci-fi a cousin of Overcooked with an emphasis on harvesting and defending, and couples will especially love this one and will probably find it a lot less frustrating than others in the genre. There’s some room for this to grow up, but it’s got more polish than existing games in the genre that have been actively refined for years. Check out the WeHeartCo-op review on YouTube, coming soon!

TLDR: fun game, but if you are unsure check out the DEMO :)

D-corp is a really nice coop tower defense game and it would probably be even better if I had friends to play it with.

While it seems meant to be played locally from your couch with a group of friends it does also support steam remote play and is pretty good to play solo as well (what I mostly did).

Some Pros:

  • Throwing things into pits or acid (including your now ex-friends).

  • Different themed levels, enemies, guns (towers) and elements to make each level feel unique.

Speedy Golf is simply a blast! I generally don’t like golf games but this one is different. It’s fast paced, fun, and a bit silly.

I’ve had so many fun nights jumping into this with friends.

It’s one of those games where it’s easy to learn but difficult to become an expert. I’ve really enjoyed learning strategies to improve my online leaderboards.

I’m also a big fan of coop games. Speedy Golf has a Leap Frog mode that adds a really engaging coop mechanic to golfing.

10/10 hands down great game.

Get a group of friends together, and try out Leap Frog mode. It’s a form of scotch doubles, or alternating shots every turn. It’s absolutely hilarious when you fill a room with 8 players split into 4 teams of 2.

This game will entertain both golf and racing fans alike! The golf feels great, and the online setup puts most online racing games to shame. Online leaderboards means you can compare your skill to players all around the world - load up their ghost and race directly against them to improve your time!

Its a tidy little game with a lot of fun challenging content, for the price there’s no reason not to pick it up and give it a go.

Been waiting ages for this game to be released and now it’s here!

Great game, with endless hours of fun. Perfect for sticking on with a couple of mates around, or, sinking a few hours in on your own, trying to get those high scores!

Would definitely recommend giving it a download. Congrats to the developers!
