Retromancer

This game is awesome! The speed and progression are excellent. The difficulty is just right. The graphics are flashy and the game has that unknown thing, that soul and mystique that make playing through it so good. Robotron lovers need to get this game now.

TL;DR: A good time-waster if you can get it on sale.

What I like is that it has a progression system to the powerups. Yes it feels a little tacked-on, but I don’t mind chasing the upgrades.

The game is competent, and the levels are enjoyable with good variety. However I find the graphics all look the same so you can’t distinguish your avatar from the projectiles, from the enemies, the enemy projectiles, etc. It is all a big phony retro blur.

I played it for about 1.5 hours before I grew weary. Probably wouldn’t have lasted that long but I’m a sucker for twin-stick shooters.

AMID EVIL

AMID EVIL

AMID EVIL at its core is a wonderfully rendered retro throwback FPS that beckons the nostalgic memories of games such as Heretic and Hexen and Quake with gorgeous environments, beautiful weapon feel and a majestic combat encounters.

However, I come to you today not focused on the weapons, the enemies or the aesthetics, but rather something truly gorgeous: the Difficulty Selection level.

Most games dare not be so bold with something so seemingly obtuse as a Difficulty Selection level where it is not as simple as clicking a rather comedic naming on a menu. AMID EVIL, in this regard, dares to be different. There have been other reviews left for this game with scathing remarks as to the “poor design” of the Difficulty Selection. I disagree wholeheartedly. For you see, the Difficulty Selection tutorializes the player of the movement mechanics and the weight of the Champion in such an elegant and silent way that most take for granted. To go for the Easy difficulty, it is straightforward and one could get by the challenge by only holding the “W” key on the Keyboard. This is Leon Zawada and Simon Rance’s brilliance coming into full display here. By having the Easy difficulty being so easy to access, it makes clear of the very nature of the room so as to not to cause further confusion with regards to the other options.

Amid Evil is strange, half of the game is some of the best level design, music, atmosphere, and art direction Ive seen in a game. The other half is a boring bland repetitive slog. Its a coin flip for which episode is which, but imo the best Amid Evil gets is worth the worst it can be.

Pretty fun game that has different ways to play the game by using different magic abilities and such. I do wish that the environments were more open and fix some of the animation for different models like the axe throwing one, who does a little T-pose once he throws it. Other than that I’m enjoying it.

-Story Line-

Year 2020, 32 years later. We received a corrupted broadcast on our devices from an unknown entity which appeared from our collected data base on the aliens that we had annihilated to extinction years ago. The broadcast consisted of a garbled language we had to shift signal to understand. The message became clear: “You are one but we are many, We are not outside but we are inside. Your data now belongs to us!”.

Upon exiting the broad cast, our devices became infected with a worm virus, linking from server to sever. There was no doubt the aliens have full access to the worlds data base and infecting the intergalactic web.

A security program interface was built around the Horus ship. It was only accessible through the backup drives but the software needed a constant energy supply. The best way was to extract the power cores from the enemy structural data nucleus by destroying them. Enhancing the “new” digital Horus to be equipped with new weaponry, armor and enhancements by spending these cores revenant energy.

We sent the Horus into the intergalactic web and scouted through damaged back doors where the virus had travelled into, encountering the byterrian species that was expelled from the virus burrowing themselves into structural firewalls with ease. The aliens hard coded the byterrians to be extremely volatile. The only way to get to the leader was the complete annihilation of these digitized species.

The Horus vaporizes byterrians and grows more stronger but the byterrians are just as formidable. As long as power cores were gathered, their immense plan to inject a cybernetic virus on highest security data structure on the globe will be negated and the world is saved once again.

The plan? Send the entire species back into oblivion. Its time for repatriation!

Century: Age of Ashes

Century: Age of Ashes

For a dragon genre that we dont see too much of, theyve really outdone themselves the flying feels sooo amazing whether you’re playing with either mouse/keyboard, or controller. The game itself its absolutely thrilling even with 4 game modes currently present. So you’ve got 3 classes to choose from. Phantom, Windgaurd, and Marauder.

The Marauder is your hunter tracker kind of class. Focusing on enemy players and giving chase to ensure the opponent is destroyed. And good luck to you phantoms thinking the Cloaking will save you from its tenacious chase. The other ability is frost bolts which both greatly damages an oponents shield, and makes steering their dragon a bit more difficult.

The gameplay of Century is quite solid. I play only on controller so I can’t speak for how KB&M feels but it’s tight. I however, in it’s current state won’t recommend this game to anyone who likes to play solo. This game is yet another case of forced Discord squad implementation. Currently there’s no way to play in a solo/duo queue so you will be facing squads more than half the time. If you do not run with a squad, especially in ranked, your chances of winning a game are practically zero. Another missing feature that was heavily requested a year ago after the beta was some form of in-game communication. You have pings but due to the extremely fast nature of the gameplay coupled with your screen constantly moving away from any focused area pings are practically useless. No in-game chat or voice chat leave you feeling totally helpless if you are with a random team against stacks.
