Nuke Land

Nuke Land

Nuke Land is a huge open world with dozens of cities and settlements. As you travel you will meet many enemies, both human and mutated insects. Weapons in Nuke Land are the main argument, but there are not many of them left. However, you can find a weapons craftsman. He will help you restore and upgrade weapons. You have a variety of activities: trade, work as a mercenary, racketeering and other monkey business. Choose what you want to be: a mercenary or a merchant; the mayor of a forlorn village or decide to conquer all the towns and proclaim a new state.

Project Grove: Prologue

Project Grove: Prologue

If you’re a fan of atmospheric science-fantasy worlds and steampunk, you’ll be delighted about the optics of Project Grove! You play as 64 year old Edric Tate (cool to have an older protagonist for a change, btw) who explores a new region together with his little helper robot L-P1N. The two engage in playful banter, which is delivered a bit wooden at times, but entertaining in general.

The gameplay is fun, it consists mostly of walking around, exploring and platforming at this point. The progression of difficulty is good in the prologue, although the last few meters are a bit difficult, platforming-wise. You’ll also need patience to figure out some of the puzzles. But the game isn’t super hard, perfectly doable even for somebody who isn’t very familiar with this type of game.

What I loved about this game is a few things

  1. The Graphics were nice, and the atmosphere felt somewhat alive with the whales and weird

jumping spiky balls.

  1. It had Keyboard and mouse as well as Controller options and the controls were smooth and easy to use which is awesome.

Isekai: Reincarnation in a New World

Isekai: Reincarnation in a New World

Just finish the game and loved it. Other than bugs like how we can’t go in the power castle I haven’t seen any other bugs it’s fun if you give it a chance. oh the Reincarnation Requirements after 3rd Gen i can’t see it for some reason. I found another bug where I can’t reincarnate as a wolf.

There has been a patch since my review that will likely invalidate it. However I haven’t had time to go through and try the game again. I will still leave this here for comparison to the current game and see what’s changed and what still needs polish/refinement

Only reason I currently recommend the game is because I’m a sucker for monster MC and can see some potential here.

However, that’s all it has going for it, and it barely even does that, let’s break down what the game has.

Pros:

Reincarnation system- unique from other rpgs I’ve played, offers the promise of different playstyles and advancement.

The Isle of Elanor

The Isle of Elanor

The Isle of Elanor is an open-ended role playing game. It features real-time combat, a strong focus on player choice, and a High Fantasy narrative. The game borrows mechanics from Dwarf Fortress, Divinity: Original Sin 2, Stardew Valley and the Witcher Series.

You wash ashore on The Isle of Elanor, the last bastion of humanity remaining in the world. You retain only fragments of your memory – your origins are a mystery. The people of the isle are puzzled by your inexplicable arrival.

The situation on the island is grim: many people are poor, destitute, and in some cases close to starving. There’s social strife and division. You’re given a small plot of land. Can you help humanity survive?

  • At the highest difficulty level, the game is meant to be challenging. If you’re not careful, you will starve.

  • Select skills and attributes to determine your build: a tank, melee fighter, or a ranged attacker? Or choose a build that doesn’t specialize in combat.

  • The Isle of Elanor is a game about player choice. What type of home to build? Who to befriend or who to make an enemy of?

  • Set in an imaginary period of the Earth’s past, it’s a world that borrows elements from both Midgard and Middle Earth. The peoples of Middle Earth (humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, etc) appear in the game.

  • Complex combat mechanics featuring single-handed (quick) and two-handed (long-range) basic attacks, skills (magic), and the use of a shield.

  • Build workshops near your home and hire townspeople. This is more than a farming, fishing, and mining game. In fact, your home isn’t necessarily a farm. You can create an industrial center where you manufacture pottery, or craft weapons and armor.

  • Hire townspeople to perform the mundane tasks of watering and harvesting your crops.

  • Become a part of the community. Give food, items, and jobs to needy townspeople. Watch the townspeople prosper, or decline, along with the home you build. You will face the consequences of your actions.

  • Deep branching dialog options. Learn about the people and the history of the island.

  • Features a realistic geology model. Stone occurs in sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic layers. Some types of stone, ore, and jewels are available to mine only in certain layers.

  • Just a few of the types of stone: Bauxite, Cobalite, Granite, Gypsum, and Olivine. When you craft an item out of stone, the item retains the properties (color, weight, value) from the stone. The same mechanic applies to items crafted from wood.

  • Factional alliances. The non-player characters on the island are grouped into factions. Most NPCs have families. Your relationship with one family member affects your relationship with the other family members. There are multiple towns in the game which also form factions.

  • The Isle of Elanor can be played as a management game, akin to Dwarf Fortress, where you juggle the complexity of managing your employees and selecting Industries to specialize in.

  • The townspeople of the island change over the course of game. Their appearance, happiness, needs, and skills evolve as the island changes. The townspeople have crafting skill levels that improve over time. Townspeople change their clothing based on the seasons and their financial wellbeing.

  • The pricing of items in the game changes over time. There is a supply and demand mechanic. The more that you sell of an item, the less it is worth.

  • Features an extensive main plot line that occurs over three chapters, all recorded in your journal.

  • The guiding principle behind the quest system is consequences. Quests result in small changes here and there to show how the world is changed – for better or worse.

Lightsmith

Lightsmith

A good little game which has that great element where you are not sure what comes next, or how to get there, but you want to find out. The fact that there are not many instructions means you need to learn how to do everything through trial and error and the reward feeling when you do is very nice. The black and white imagery is stark at first glance, but after a while you begin to be one with it, even feeling like you live in the dark with them (especially if you play this game in reduced lighting). This effect of not being able to see the whole map adds to the feeling of new elements revealing themselves and also challenges you to remember where the heck you are. Little hint: don’t leave the game when you’re in the middle of nowhere, you’ll never remember where you parked yourself or how to get back!

nice little chilled game, easily played ( and minimised when the boss walks in ) between working on spreadsheets etc. Nice simple and relaxed.

It’s a mobile game, fun but you’d need to spend some time to get to other galaxies (it’ll unlock more ships and crafts). Great if you like slow paced games.

Serin Fate

Serin Fate

(This review is based on the June ‘20 update)

Right off the top, I want to be clear this game is still, as advertised, very much a work in progress. However, that being written, I’ve enjoyed my experience enough that I’m content having bought the game at full price even though many of the game mechanics are presently under-explained and the game play is a bit out of balance here and there. What’s more, I can tell from past comments in the forum that some problems have already been fixed – I’m looking at you, person still whinging about inventory size when I massively upgraded mine as a rank newbie in three days of in-game time – so the Developer seems to be responsive and engaged.

Real player with 201.9 hrs in game

Playing status: 12/14 achievements, finished the game (I don’t know how to get the last 2 achievements)

Grindy Achievement(s): Yes (1 achievement).

Optional Achievement(s): Yes (12 achievements).

Difficult Achievement(s): Yes (1+ achievement).

Intro

Serin Fate is an adventure RPG with a lot of mandatory elements that you usually find in farming games in addition to magic and monster taming. You can farm, mine, capture monsters for you to fight, fish, and many more. Despite the varied features, it still focuses on the adventure element at its core, allowing you to explore the whole region and figure out how to proceed from the obscure hints.
