Fabula Mortis

Don’t bother

Lighting and Shadows are bugged causing it to flicker and stretch across the screen and as soon as I try to host a game (since there is no servers so you can only play against bots) all audio goes missing.

When the shadows and lighting was not flickering and stretching across my screen the maps looked alright

Fabula Mortis is an online FPS Arena Shooter. There’s a variety of characters with different weapons and abilities to choose from.

While the graphics are very nice thanks to the Unreal Engine, the gameplay itself is standard, boring Unreal FPS. Furthermore, the game is completely dead. It’s multiplayer only and there’s no servers.

There are many other, better arena shooters (especially with heavyweights like Epic and Blizzard in the market), so it’s understandable this very mediocre entry hasn’t succeeded and is now dead.

Shattering Obsidian

Shattering Obsidian

By the end of my time with Shattering Obsidian, the main character, a native, conscientious healer-type, was becoming cynical and rather merciless due to the tragedy surrounding her, It didn’t have to be this way, it was because of my choices, which I hope are carried forward to the next chapter.

Really enjoyed this. Great story, leaving you wanting for more, in chapter 3!!

I highly recommend this game.

A brilliant adventure game- sort of a hybrid rpg and ‘point and click.’ I don’t want to spoil it, but you can’t help but be drawn in to the story. Chapter 1 is more fantasy focused, but heart-wrenching. Chapter 2 is where it gets very steampunky- where the need to know what happens next becomes tantalising!!!

I can’t wait for chapter 3!

Please add some more advanced options. The lack of motion blur and mouse sensitivity settings make it almost unplayable for me. I can’t comment much on the gameplay as a result, but what i did play wasn’t bad, especially considering it’s free. But until more advanced options are added I have to not recommend.

Edit:

I was able to make it through the game by turning the overall settings to low. For some reason that turns off motion blur. The game is very short, however I think it’s pretty good for a school project. I think it’s worth playing, and I would recommend if the above settings were added.

Gunmetal Arcadia Zero

Gunmetal Arcadia Zero

Being a big fan of You Have to Win the Game and Super Win the Game (I’ve got 60 hours into it and have speedrun it many times) I was apprehensive about trying a game that appeared to control like Zelda II. My apprehension was assuaged soon after playing the demo. As usual with J. Kyle Pittman’s games, the controls are as tight as can be, the character’s velocity and friction feel just right, and the general difficulty ramps up at a nice gradual pace unlike games like Shovel Knight.

The graphics and soundtrack are even more reminiscent of NES games than his prior games, and the songs are so catchy I’m glad to have purchased the bundle with the soundtrack. The game offers a new game+ replay, where enemies take progressively more hits with each subsequent playthrough. A speedrun mode is also available that not only runs a tmer for you, it performs the splits for you as well. For Mac players with far fewer options for speedrun timers, this is a welcome addition, and one I personally hope will be patched into Super Win as well.

This game is a mini masterpiece. I beat it in only a couple hours, but it feels like I got so much more out of it than that. Probably that’s mostly because it’s balls to the wall hard. It’s very NES, in difficulty, atmosphere, aesthetic, music, and visuals. Seriously, the music rocks. Even the death music kicks so much butt that it’s almost not too frustrating to die. Almost. This game will anger you, will taunt you, and frustrate you like any NES game would. Do you love the BS Medusa heads from Castelvania? Well you’ll love this game, because every part that has tricky platforming has a million Medusa heads-like enemy, and one of these types drops this chain so even if you dodge the head, you gotta dodge the chain. But after all the fury, all the rage, of playing the same level over and over again, when you finally get that last hit on the last boss, the immense feeling of victory explodes from your blood vessels and implodes your guts all over your monitor. What a rush! And the controls are very fluid, allowing you to play with a satisfying flow. One thing I didn’t like is that the majority of the items you could pick up were utterly terrible. Get the tri-shot, and ignore all other items, seriously, none of them are worth it and if you stab a torch that spits another item out it’s so annoying to try to dodge them all the time. And they take forever to despawn so you’ll gauranteed accidentally pick up a crappy item during a crucial moment. There are also some neat secrets you can find. This game feels like it drew a lot of influences from both Zelda II and Castlevania. I highly recommend this game to any fans of NES games, tough as nails platformers, and anyone who can take a challenge. The guy who made this game also made the free You Have To Win the Game, which is also great, as well as Eldritch, which is a vastly different FPS rogue-like game, and I would highly recommend you check that out too. Please support this dev, he really deserves it and puts out quality content.

Skyland: Heart of the Mountain

Skyland: Heart of the Mountain

This game was totally useless. It was confusing and full of shyte half the time. I’m not even sure the writers understood the story half the time. It is a beyond convoluted futuristic end of the world type plot with characters dressed up like Lara Croft one minute and a Viking princess the other. There is all kinds of technical mumbo jumbo and very little explanation for anything. Sometimes it felt like Artifex was trying to be scientifically accurate instead of entertaining. We don’t give a damn if the technology is correct! Just give us a game that isn’t some 40 year old trekkie’s wet dream.

The Game Review

Game Visuals

I want to mention that the visual for the game is nicely done. The visuals can be adjusted in the game’s option menu. Please do note that this is an old game, it might not play well on wide screen monitors in full screen mode; due to the game’s format.

Makings of a Hero

SteamWorld is a franchise of vaguely connected games, each starring a friendly cast of robots. The latest entry – Hand of Gilgamech introduces a stark departure from the usual futuristic setting, venturing instead into the land of fantasy. Meet Armilly, an adventurer aspiring to at last become a member of the local heroes’ guild. Good heavens! The village has been invaded by an evil army and all of the heroes have been kidnapped. Such a tragedy, if only there was someone desperately longing for a worthy quest to finally prove themselves. It’s high time to gather your trusty companions and make this one count.

On my first playthrough I went with the Legend difficulty and I was not disappointed… Mostly. Also, quick note, I got the game half off so my thoughts are based around what I got for that price.

Starting with things I liked/loved:

  • The Art is beautiful.

  • The Characters are simple but lovable.

  • The Music I find to be very pleasant to listen to.

  • I love the opening and ending sequences, I wish there were more of these.

  • The Ending Song, while short, made me smile. I love it.

  • The card game mechanic is pretty solid. Deck-Building is fast and easy, chaining cards together for combos or allowing for an additional helpful card to be played is really fun, and while I didn’t use a lot of other cards, I can definitely see some ideas on how to use them for other play styles so I like that there is multiple options on how to play.
