BeachHead 2020

BeachHead 2020

This review is for the non-VR game.

I bought the early access BH2020 as soon as it came out and I’ve been enjoying it immensely. I thought BH2002 was a blast so I was excited for this newer version.

The game has a new and detailed look compared to the earlier version. The graphics are nice as are the sounds. I’ve only encountered minor glitches such as the game loosing count of health and a stutter with aiming, but they were quickly resolved when reported to the Devs.

The game is still “early-access” so issues are still being adjusted. I’ve found the Developers to be very attentive to any concerns that are communicated to them. It sounds like they have a huge and fascinating game besides the stationary shooting station out now.

A REAL review on BeachHead 2020

First off, looking at the negative reviews, these people are not giving it time. Almost all if not all played the game for less than an hour if that much (look at their hours on record). With that being said, this IS still in very Early Access, meaning that it will be less than perfect as the company works out the bugs, kinks and adds more features.

I have found a few issues like the aiming is kind of choppy when zooming in. But really I am not holding this against the company. As of writing up this review, the game version is at 1.1.1. So in time I am sure these minor things will be fixed.

SCREECH OF STEEL: GLADIATORS

SCREECH OF STEEL: GLADIATORS

Gladiator fights online in a free multiplayer game for PC and mobile devices. Create characters, buy weapons and armor, and participate in gladiator battles in up to 5x5 mode. Immerse yourself in the world of gladiatorial battles of ancient Rome!_Feel like a gladiator in the arena of the colosseum, fighting with real opponents. Fight and win!

Win the crowd , and you will win freedom!_

HISTORICAL MMO ACTION GAME

SCREECH OF STEEL: GLADIATORS is the world’s first multiplayer cross-platform online gladiator battle simulator set in ancient Rome. A large selection of weapons, shields and armor, as well as the ability to improve items, will make each character special.

The game developer pays special attention to historical accuracy, as well as high realism of physics and 3D models, which allows each player to feel like a gladiator in the arena of the colosseum fighting for his life to the screams of the audience.

14 battle locations, more than 30 models of shields and helmets, 7 types of weapons (including clubs, axes, hammers, sledgehammers, swords, daggers, spears, and even brass knuckles and scissors), breast armor, as well as bracers, shoulder straps, belts, loincloths and greaves are reconstructed on the basis of real references and create an atmosphere of the Ancient era.

SKILL IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EQUIPMENT

A unique battle management system has been developed for the game, which allows you to fully realize the potential of the player. During the battle, the player has full control over the dynamics of the character’s movement, attack and block, which gives complete freedom of action in battle.

Battles are conducted only with real opponents in various battle modes: single and team. The player can choose from 3 battle modes: QUICK BATTLE, SANDBOX, SINGLE-ELIMINATION. Up to 10 players can participate in the lobby at the same time. The selection of opponents is based on the personal level of the character, which is determined both by the number of victories in battles and the equipment used. In the game about gladiator battles, the balance of opponents is designed as democratically as possible: neither expensive weapons, nor shields and armor, nothing will give a significant advantage in battle. Only the skill of using weapons and shields, as well as combat tactics, can give you a chance to win!

ESPORTS GAME

When creating the game, one of the main tasks that we were guided by was the development of esports in Russia. For this purpose, a special tournament system was created, linked to the game database and the official website. The system registers participants for the tournament, distributes the dates and times of the fights (the first, second and subsequent rounds), sends notifications to players, blocks the character to avoid pumping.

The key feature of the game SCREECH OF STEEL: GLADIATORS is the ability to participate in tournaments for real currency with the accrual of winnings to the player’s virtual account, as well as the ability to sell a character and ammunition.

The game is developed on the basis of the Unity engine and will be developed throughout the early access period, taking into account the opinions of players.

Shaype

Shaype

Shaype is a fantasy role-playing game with an emphasis on player dictated character creation, combat playstyles, dialogue, and story outcomes. The ability for the player to create and develop their own character and world is at the heart of Shaype’s design, presenting diverse role-playing and alignment options.

​With Shaype, we wish to create a true role-playing game. Our focus in development is for the player to feel as though they exist in an engaging world where their decisions matter.

World

  • A major goal for Shaype is to provide an engaging setting and atmosphere. Despite the friendly artstyle, Shaype will explore dark/adult themes, allow for diverse character alignment options and pose morally grey situations in a violent land.

Player Choice

  • Gameplay will be multifaceted and reflective of the player, with significant world-changing options in dialogue, playstyle, and quests that are driven by the skillset and choices of your character.

Combat System

  • For combat, we are developing varied weapons and divisions of Magic which will each possess their own skill trees and abilities.

  • We want to provide a challenging experience that rewards the skill level of the player. Combat mechanics are designed to be easy to learn but hard to master, testing the ability of the player to find openings to strike.
