THE SKIES

THE SKIES

After having played for quite some time, the game really grew on me! I’m having a great time traveling the wasteland and looting, hunting monsters, and building up my clan, as well as questing. Now for the pros and the cons:

Pros:

The graphics are pretty nice. The wasteland vibe is pretty well embodied by the setting and types of equipment you can use.

There are quite a few types of weapons to choose from at this time, though I wish there were more.

There are vehicles. You get a motorcycle early game, so traveling doesn’t take forever.

First of all you’ll see I’ve put in several hours already, most of these negative reviews played for 10-30 minutes at most. Definitely needs some work, AI isn’t very smart, bit buggy and some FPS issues. But after playing for a few hours it’s kind of grown on me. The robust crafting system and funny moments in quests add good flavor. For a free game it’s got potential.

Brigand: Oaxaca

Brigand: Oaxaca

Brigand Oaxaca is one of my favorite games of all time. Rough around the edges, buggy, brutal, and incredibly frustrating, it’s a treasure the likes of which you’ll rarely play. It’s creator, Brian Lancaster, is something of a tortured genius who, in between intense ayahuasca trips, and Mcaffee’esque stints in the jungles of Latin America, sought to share this powerful premonition of the plight of humanity in the upcoming apocalypse.

In all seriousness, this game scratches a niche that probably only a certain crowd will enjoy. If you like the original Deus Ex, but want it a little shittier, this is for you. If you like rollenspiele classics like gothic and og fallout, but feel that their unity of design and assets wasn’t tenuous and wild enough, this might be for you. If you like Stalker, but could do without all of those fan patches and bugfixes, then this is absolutely for you.

I think this is one of the best games I’ve ever played. I found it on the steam store page during the summer sale, and one glance at the preview video cemented it as something I had to buy, dlcs and all. I don’t regret getting it, in fact, I’m still in shock I hadn’t heard of this game sooner. Deus Ex-like gunplay? Open-ended gameplay, with (mostly) complete freedom of choice in how you want to complete the story? Voodoo (!) and cybernetics? A save system that lets you save scum but also gives you the thrill of permadeath by starving you of beds at times?

The Moon Relax

The Moon Relax

The scenery is beautiful.

The music is pretty OK.

The gameplay is really where this game kind of comes apart.

Driving the rover isn’t fun as the camera angles are pretty much locked. Rocks, big and small, will get in your way while you are driving and bring your expedition to a grinding halt. Even when you aren’t being stopped by rocks, the driving is just boring. There is very little to see and do on the moon.

Crafting is a nightmare of half explained tutorials and different crafting benches. I think I made one oxygen tank.

The game has a very cute design and theme to it. While my initial recommendation remains unchanged, I would like to see some more polish. I am happy and thankful the dev was so quick to respond to a review for their game and look forward to seeing what future changes brings for this game.

I will likely wait for quite a bit more to be added before I give it another shot.

–- Response to Dev

Being a developer my self I of course mean no harm in my criticism. And that is the point of the review process, if the items above were addressed I’d be happy to remove them from my critique. Tho I no longer have the game to test my self, I’ll likely wait until some more updates come out before I give it another shot and update my review with anything I find at that time.

Legend of You

Legend of You

Demons, dragons, kings and all sorts of creatures live together in a world brimming with conflict. Secrets of the forgotten past still urge to be found by pirates and cultists. The language of the arcade slowly dies as the wizards distance themselves from men. Intrigues, desires, hearts and dreams are all tangled in this living world.

You find yourself among all this.

A young male human studying the arcane. Or perhaps a female orc wielding a giant’s club; or even a high elf set to complete his elemental jewel collection.

As you journey across marshes and dungeons, frozen peaks and fiery depths; you will make friends and enemies, fight with powerful creatures, unravel royal conspiracies, find long-lost blueprints and craft items not seen for a generation and discover secrets that will forever change your game.

Your story will be unique.

Will you serve at the king’s desire; or murder him in plain sight? Follow each quest’s prescribed path, or push the boundaries of what can be done and come up with a unique way to play the game?

You are free to kill, talk to, help, hinder, trade, serve, betray and starve anyone in the world. But be wary, your actions will have deep consequences on how each character will interact with you.

Key Features

  • Open World: A deep handcrafted world where every character lives their lives and pursue their desires: from finding what to eat tomorrow; to destroying every elf in the world.

  • Sandbox: Play with and combine every mechanic at your disposal; discover emergent behavior and bend the simulation to your will.

  • RPG: Items, stats, skills and dialog parsers are all at your hand to role play different characters and builds.

  • Character Customization: You can be whoever you want: Human, Orc, Elf, Dwarf and much more. Change their color, hair, outfit, backstory and goal to make each character your own.

  • Crafting: From baking bread to forging a dragon-slaying hammer, the world is full of materials and blueprints for you to discover and craft with.

  • Turn-Based: With a Traditional Roguelike movement and combat, you will be able to make meaningful combat decisions. As you expand your skills, you will create more strategies to slay whoever stands in your way.

  • Survival: One does not simply walk into the freezing Crystal Lance without preparation. Learn to survive the most adverse conditions, keeping your moral and physical conditions high as enemies and locations hurt your body, mind and soul.

  • Story: Meet and talk to different characters in the world, from scheming peasants, to long-dead conquerors. Help them or stop them; every choice you make will write your story.

  • Pixel Graphics: Combining the look of the golden age of CRPGs with our own modern take, your story will be vividly rendered with beautiful pixel art.

You have already experienced the legend of several heroes.

Now it is time to make your own in Legend of You.

I think the idea is nice, and also the game implementation is not bad (given the very low price). It sure lacks improvements in many areas and also a few basic items (I couldn’t even find a way to exit the game or go back to starting menu, there isn’t a command/key list). The main problem, even given the fair price, is that to me the game is too grindy even from the starting point; I’ve played maybe 6 or 7 games in 3 hours, and never managed to gain enough money to do anything before dying against a swarm of 3-4 tanks or a huge one that easily absorbed my shots before transforming my little machine in a pile of fuming scraps… After death you go back to the starting camp in an even shittier situation, stuck in a tiny machine with no weapons and no way to survive. I think the combat itself is good, landing a nice shot while evading enemy tanks is somewhat rewarding, but the cost of repairs, fuel and ammo easily eats most of the money gained, and the repetition of combats, deaths and having to restart from the beginning made me gave up on the game.

Scraplers, what is there to say about this title.

I think the dev team wanted to create a steam punk pirate game.

You own a landship, which have properties(guns placement and troop carrying capacity),

and you raid around to get bigger a boat and have more troop capacity.

The concept is interesting.

Sadly, at this point in the development,

there doesn’t seem to be something to do with those mechanics.

You can grind to get bigger boat but beyond that the world is bare.

System to raise relations with NPC are in place

The Alpha 001

By far, this is the most confusing mess of cobbled together Unity assets I’ve ever seen.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_T1THdZuHg

Avoid at all costs, at least for a year after this games launch date of January 18, 2021 because it will definitely take this developer at least that long to fix this completely broken pile of garbage.

NOT RECOMMENDED. ..My Score: Another Google Zero Asset, but hey it’s floating in the air like all the text and your U.I in this game so that’s an lot better right?
