Eternal Exodus

Story

Welcome to Hell, kid.

The afterlife isn’t what you expected. Sure, you can live forever here, but only if you stay in the good graces of those in power. And it’s looking like you won’t.

Luckily, you have a Subjugator: a forbidden wrist-worn device that allows you to summon demons.

Gameplay

  • 150 unique demons to catch and fuse

  • Form a party of up to 4 demons at a time

  • Fuse demons together to get a more powerful species of demon that inherits up to 4 of its parents' spells and skills

  • Craft weapons and armor for your demons

  • Sidequests to catch legendary demons

  • In classic 90s JRPG fashion, you’ll encounter a variety of minigames during your quest

  • Full English and Japanese support, with more languages coming soon

  • Built in a custom engine on top of Unity

Heavily inspired by franchises like Shin Megami Tensei and Pokemon, Eternal Exodus has a series of mechanics that, while easy to learn, offer depth and complexity. Catch demons in the wild, and fuse them with demons in your party to create stronger species of demons.

Through skill inheritance, you can fuse demons to end up with demons who otherwise wouldn’t naturally be able to learn the skills you give them. Want a Clammy that can cast Heal-All? Simply level up a Whisper to level 8 so it learns it, then fuse the Whisper with a Skullray to get a Clammy.

HoloFist

HoloFist

HoloFist is a tie-in game for a cartoon that doesn’t exist! A turn based battle game where reaction times matter, with a visual style that attempts to imagine how old school pixel RPGs might look in 3D.

With the help of your colourful ‘Holobuddies’, like Mathmoth, Pieceratops and Pakoon, you travel the island of Fistopia to clear out the haywire robots, toxic Blimes and other dangerous enemies that have overrun the island.

This first game from Edgehog attempts to infuse action into what you would expect from a turn based RPG, using timing based button presses to deal extra damage, or even block incoming attacks.

Siralim 3

Siralim 3

When Zack Bertok of Thylacine Studios launched Siralim 2 in 2016, he was sure there would never be a sequel, at least not in the near future. He began to work on other projects, but the more he did so, the more ideas to improve Siralim 2 he could think of. What was supposed to be a simple expansion kept getting bigger and bigger… and Siralim 3 was born.

For those who are unfamiliar with this series, Siralim is an RPG with roguelite elements in which the player trains monsters to use them in 6vs6 battles, inspired by the Enix game Dragon Warrior Monsters. What makes it different from other such games is the fact that it is virtually endless, which allows players to enjoy the game for hundreds or even thousands of hours.

Update 2: Still going strong on this game at 1392 hours. This game is excellent for being able to instantly walk away when you have something to take care of. Been using it as my side game while exploring in Elite Dangerous. The developer has slowed down on the updates, probably working on his next game. Ended up buying a copy for a friend who likes retro-styled indie games. He thanks you for Linux support!

Update: Still a good game at the 200 hour mark. New major updates were released since my review was written. More content and added an asynchronous multiplayer combat mode. You take your team and fight other teams out there. No player-to-player interaction except composing the teams, but I wouldn’t want more than that in this kind of game. The meat of the game is still in advancing incrementally through the realms, gathering loot, unlocking achievements (which increase the loot rate), and so forth. Still an awesome game.

I have to admit, I haven’t owned this game for very long, but I spend almost all of my free time playing it. I’ve just gotten past the tutorial sections because I spent so much time playing my way and just having fun in the maps and leveling up different aspects of the game before more advanced mechanics were added.

Pros:

  • Great retro feel. The graphics really bring me back.

  • Huge variety of monsters that there are innumerable customization options (although some will clearly be better than others)

Hides playing time

Yeah I guess you could say I like it…

– TL;DR –

Buy it if you:

  • Enjoy spending an hour or 2 sorting through monsters and items to make a team

  • Don’t mind “the balance comes from everything being overpowered” style games

  • Like Pokemon but would rather it wasn’t made for 3 year olds

  • Have crippling autism

DON’T buy it if you:

  • Don’t like grinding

  • Value your precious time in this mortal coil

BTW: I’m writing this before the first (? big update after entering EA so if anything’s outdated by then RIP.

Real player with 802.5 hrs in game

Note: This is a review of the game as of patch 0.9.4 (I have removed/amended criticisms that are no longer relevant)

TL; DR

I definitely recommend the game if you are interested in casual play, monster collection, team building, or light grinding. I don’t really recommend the game if you are looking for a satisfying long-term grind.

Graphics - Definitely an improvement on the previous games. A lot of effort has gone into improving the look of the sprites and tilesets.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED : 9/10 Rating (Interesting Story, Excellent Game Mechanics)

This is an excellent game with an interesting story that is I felt is professionally written. It’s a story about ambition and control, of right and wrong, of greed and goodness. It’s a story of how an apprentice beast tamer entered a competition and found that things are not what they appear on the surface and the competition was really a farce. Slowly he learn about the sinister evil by talking to various competitors and finding scrapes of journal in his exploration. The game actually allow you to have morality choices about what you need to do too.

In english

The game let you play as a Beastmancer apprentice that want to enter a tournament where all the best Beastmancers will fight, and thats basically the beginning of the story, a bit like pokemon you will be able to capture monsters in your path and level them up, the game is more mature than pokemon in a way that people die in it, and everything is not love and butterflies, the narration isn’t great, but not godawful, i’d say it is just below average, the soundtrack as i recall were mostly average too, the graphics i personally like it, the scenario isn’t that great as well, the game has many flaws but still is charming and you want to get to the end, for my part i did enjoy it, i wouldn’t call it a great, but if you enjoy RPGs and have done the better ones it is definitely worth a try, cause it is definitely original in what it does.

Do I Recommend This Game

The answer is YES!

–-{Graphics}—

☐ You forget what reality is

☐ Beautiful

☑ Good

☐ Decent

☐ Bad

☐ Don‘t look too long at it

☐ Paint.exe

The graphics are pretty good from where they came from, as this game originally was a mobile game. The nexomon’s art and uniqueness was pretty good!

–-{Gameplay}—

☑ Very good

☐ Good

☐ It‘s just gameplay

☐ Mehh

☐ Starring at walls is better

☐ Just don‘t

It’s a Pokémon-like game, but has a stamina system instead of a usage per move system. Definitely makes you think more of what you can do versus how many times can I do it. It’s a fun experience figuring out what work well vs what as it can make a huge difference in the big fights throughout the story.

Oh man, a Pokemon clone ported from mobile made that originally had microtransactions? Sounds like a disaster in the making, but don’t write this game off so quickly…

There’s no doubt about it; Nexomon is very similar to older Pokemon games. While unique enough to have its own merits, there’s definitely a large overlap in target audiences. It may not seem fair to compare an indie game with a small team to the largest media franchise in existence, but it’s inevitable for any game in the creature collection genre. In the case of Nexomon, I find these comparisons are mostly favorable.

I’ve only played about twenty hours at the time of my writing this, but oh MAN those have been an enjoyable twenty hours and they won’t be the last.

If you are a fan of monster-raising RPGs–particularly ones like Dragon Warrior Monsters–then PLAY THIS GAME. The best way I can describe this game is that it is Dragon Warrior Monsters ON CRACK. Level your monsters forever, breed them for better and different offspring, craft items for them, enchant said items, teach them spells, dive through roguelike dungeons… and that’s still not even everything.

Real player with 162.5 hrs in game

A game wonderfully designed for those with a tinkering mindset. If you enjoyed building up a pokemon team or a cohesive fire emblem force, Siralim 2 offers a unique experience; you travel pocket dimensions, where your team of up to 6 creatures fights another group of up to 6 creatures in turn-based combat.

In combat, your creatures can attack, cast spells you selected for them, increase their defense, provoke the enemy (making them more likely to be targeted by the enemy) or extract a core from the enemy (effectively capturing them, and allowing you to summon one of the monsters later from the hub world).
