I liked the game very well, the story of the game is very short, but that’s it, the game is beyond perfect.

Cat Capacity

Leave no cat behind! This game is fun and pretty crazy. Can get pretty challenging when the cats don’t all want to fit in the cupboards. And watch out for the bunny boogey man, he’s pretty quick!

Alekon

Alekon

This is a very simple game idea. You take photos of mostly happy, colorful creatures, solve some simple puzzles, play minigames. What makes Alekon very interesting is the memorable creature design, but it’s worth mentioning that, as you go further, it’s getting harder to memorise all of them.

It’s fairly easy to move forward in the game, you are not forced to finish everything (but some skills make your life easier, specially if you try to make every photo 10/10) I would say childfriendly, if we don’t count some of the minigames are kinda hard (But as far as I see, the devs are taking feedback and fixing those, so you can partly ignore this comment) and the situation with the Shrooma minigame, that felt a bit odd.

Cat’s Menace

Cat’s Menace

This game was a lot of fun to play in front of my stream audience, however playing it by myself without friends would have been a rather miserable experience, I’m afraid. The game has no save or checkpoint system, so when you have a Game Over, you have to start the entire game over from the beginning. The game operates by having you assign a cat to a task and making choices to decide whether the cats succeed or fail in the mission. The choices have no logic behind them, so it’s a coin flip in deciding if you lose the cat you assigned or not. Also, it doesn’t seem to matter which cats you assign to the mission. They’re essentially just very cute life counters.

So, I’m going to be honest and say, I LOVE CATS…

Now, when I then looked at the “Similar to games you’ve played: The Witcher 3 and Portal 2” I was ready for this game to BLOW. MY. MIND.

Spoiler alert: It did not…

The other reviews are spot on:

  • English translation is bad, even to the point where some things doesn’t make sense

  • It’s game over pretty easily and you have no idea what would be the right answer to the events you’re prompted with

  • When you get a game over, you start over from the beginning - so it becomes a pattern of blindly guessing what’s right and having to remember every right answer to get further in the game. Which gets boring and annoying very fast.

moon: Remix RPG Adventure

moon: Remix RPG Adventure

In 1997, the now legendary anti-RPG “moon” launched in Japan. Now, under the watchful eye of its original creators, it’s finally in English!

Have you ever felt it odd that the heroes of RPGs go around opening villagers' closets and stealing from them? Or that they travel the world indiscriminately killing all monsters they meet? This game looks at the RPGs we all know and love from a new perspective.

Story

One moon-lit night, a young boy is sucked into the depths of his television set.

He falls into a place called ‘Moon World’, and thus begins a search for love in order to recover the lost moonlight.

Here, the mighty hero of Moon World murders innocent animals for experience,

but the boy’s growth comes from saving the souls of the animals and gathering the love in the world.

Yes, in this game, you level up by loving, not fighting.

The inhabitants of this world are all unique. Observe their daily lives and learn where they hide their secret love.

“Now, please, open the door!”

An RPG without battles - Save the monster’s souls -

All the monsters killed by the ‘hero’ are actually just innocent animals. As you explore the game, you will encounter the bodies of these pitiful creatures. But, if the boy can catch their souls, they can be saved.

A living, breathing world! - Peek into the secret lives of the NPCs -

Moon World’s residents go about their routine lives, depending on the time and day. The florist goes to work in the morning, and the castle guards arrive at their posts. Some folks have secret midnight hobbies, and others just spend their days fishing.

MD System - Choose your own soundtrack -

In moon, you can choose your own music. By using the special music playing Moon Disc(MD) function which appears in the game, you can walk around the map listening to the tracks you like in the order you set them.

Nexomon: Extinction

Nexomon: Extinction

This is the best monster catching game I have ever played!

In case you only read the first line I want to stress that point more than any other. I tried to keep this review spoiler free. Just in case this a spoiler warning. I have had SO MUCH FUN playing this game and I want to make sure people wont miss out on this experience. Nexomon is as far from being “Just another Pokemon clone” as you can get. I will include some information for those who are undecided about Nexomon Extinction.

Now there are some similarities to other monster catching games but that is sticking to the genre. You need locations to heal your Nexomon. You need people to battle and strengthen your team. But the Nexomon team have included many unique elements to their game that I feel truly sets it apart from other games.

Real player with 909.2 hrs in game

Nexomon: Extinction is a Pokemon knock-off, but a fairly good one I think that does enough to distinguish itself and make it worth a buy.

GAMEPLAY

The gameplay of Nexomon Extinction is very similar to the main-series of Pokemon games. You go around the world battling Nexomon, of which you have a team of up to six on you, each of which has up to four moves. It’s not completely identical though, there are some minor differences. In battle, rather than having PP, moves all have a certain stamina cost which use up some of your Nexomon’s stamina bar. Personally, I prefer this system actually, first it’s a bit more realistic, for what that’s worth. It is also a bit more strategic since there is a drawback to using more powerful moves. They use more stamina, and that will limit the amount of moves total you’ll be able to use. There are fewer types than in Pokemon, also (9), and there are no dual-types. One thing that I quite liked was that you had a choice of 9 starters, one for each type. If anyone’s curious I picked the Noki when I played through the game, though I was torn between it, Mara, and Lume.
