Three Heroes

Uncertain why are there so many short and negative reviews,

complaints about the game crashing, unable to start etc…

Had no problem at all.

Gameplay is rather smooth and fluid.

Graphics are bright, colourful and well drawn.

Dialogues and short-scenes are actually well done and entertaining.

Switching between campanions to utilize the playstyle in different situation or encounters.

Stationing the meleer behind a bush, using the archer to shoot the enemy archer and lure the others towards the bush for the meleer to engage.

I really wanted to give this game a chance. But I simply couldn’t. While the graphics are…cute, everything else is sub-par. The combat system is clunky and arbitrary (random chance determines whether you land a hit for a pixel of the enemy’s health or if you ragdoll them in one strike, or if you are the archer you could find yourself in a situation where you’d be shooting 10 arrows at a stationary target before ever hitting the mark - the trajectory is random). The quests are cookiecutter and on the annoying side - from bring ten mosquito wings to escort the (suicidal) peasant most are just lazy. There are skills, but only a few of them are actually reliable to any degree…And then there’s the bugs…Oh the bugs. From the peasant you’re escorting dropping through the ground to oblivion (and mission fail) to random crashes this game has it all. And then there’s Dobrynya…The pole vaulting hero…who for somer reason goes completely ragdoll limp(presuumably from fear) when you, well, pole vault. Which would be tons of fun…if it didnt cause him to slide feebly off the side of that island or log you werre trying to reach, causing mission fail.

Life Goes On: Done to Death

Life Goes On: Done to Death

Life Goes On: Done to Death is a neat little puzzle game that I picked up a while ago and recently replayed to confirm my opinion of it.

The core concept of Life Goes On is quite unique and well-designed. Essentially, the game revolves around killing your knights in order to progress through the puzzles. The simplest example is creating a pathway across a spike pit with the knight’s bodies. However, this alone wouldn’t be enough to flesh out a full game, so the developers incorporated all sorts of mechanics that make the player think in a certain way to solve the puzzle. Life Goes On’s mechanics include but are not limited to: Checkpoints, toggleable spike pits/walls, saw blades, flamethrowers, buttons, conveyor belts, cannons, tractor beams, and more.

I first played the demo months ago and instantly fell in love with this game.

The full game did not fail to deliver.

The whole concept of (literally) standing on the shoulders of those who came before is presented wonderfully. See a deathtrap? Die on it, then respawn and walk on your corpse. Switch that has to be held down? Die so that your corpse falls on it, then respawn and walk past. Et cetera, et cetera.

The controls are a bit inaccurate at times, and will most likely leave you dying slightly more often than intended. Although since this game is all about sacrificing one knight to make a path for another, a few more corpses lying around aren’t that much of a problem. (And if you’re finding it difficult, a few more corpses aren’t a problem at all.)

Overlord II

Overlord II

I’ll order by pros, cons, summary and conclusion to make this as uniform and readable as remotely possible. Spoilers have been omitted out of respect for those with prying eyes.

+Minions are as nuts and jovial (albeit only to you/allies) as they’ve ever been

+Absolutely gorgeous visuals compared to the first game

+More original comic remarks from Gnarl and your mistresses to keep you chuckling, along with the hilarous antics of others complimenting the overall tone of the satisfying precipice to the game’s inevitable cessation

I enjoy the Overlord series. A mix of high fantasy and parody that’s only a few pedophilic steps shy of Xanth, you play as the titular Overlord, an evil master of a swarm of multi-colored minions, who sweep across a fantasy world, sewing death and destruction in your wake. You control your Overlord and your minions simulatinously, walking across the battlefield, slinging spells and swinging your weapon of choice, while your minions fill a cannon fodder role, exactly as willing to run into the heart of an impossible fight for you, as they are to put anything and everything they can find upon their heads.

Paper Shakespeare: To Date Or Not To Date?

Paper Shakespeare: To Date Or Not To Date?

So far I’m having a great time, clever writing, the art is very good, and I’m enjoying the premise. A more substantial review will come later but I wanted to leave a quick endorsement!

Bought this for the dinosaur mod. Worked out so far for me. I wrote a much longer review but it wasn´t sent so I keep it short…

All together:

good

  • Game has really well drawn characters (in my case dinosaur mod)

  • You get to know other characters ask them questions and eventually date them (was dancin´ with my fav. dinosaur a few times)

  • If you are into that dinosaur / creature stuff this is a really good VN for the pictures and the conversations

  • Sound effects and musik are good, and at least at the beginning it feels like someone´s taking you on a hand and helps

Runs great on Windows 10/Vive/GTX 970

A fun and casual game. Has endless mode so you could compete with your friends who come over to hang out.

Becomes repetitive soon, so you won’t be playing hours on end.

Fast paced and hectic, you need to give the customers their requested items, while looking out for a few badguys. Muggers come in and attempt to rob you – kill them quick! Thieves request an item, but then try to get away without paying for it – club them before they escape! The wanted person will act like a normal customer, buying and paying for an item, but if you knock them out instead of filling their request, you get a bonus.

There are plenty of items that they’ll request, and at least three qualities of each (standard, gilded, and enchanted) – so you’ll need to be on top of your game to ensure everyone gets what they wanted.

Western Sigil

Western Sigil

Western Sigil is a tower defense game in which you take on the role of the sheriff’s son, tasked with maintaining peace in the town of Wadeville. Idyll will not last too long since a dangerous plague has broken into the city walls and your mission is to find its source and stop the rot from spreading.

NOTHING UNITES HUMANS LIKE A COMMON ENEMY

Recruit cowboys, Indians, National Guard soldiers, Mexicans or even bandits - everyone, regardless of their political views, wants the end of the ugly plague.

Or Do they?

BE SMART

Strategically deploy your forces on the map and set up turrets. Hire new members and gain experience to develop your units. Throw away their rusty guns and gear them up with new weapons to make your team even more powerful. Set ambushes to weaken your foes and find out who’s the cause of the overwhelming havoc.

APPROACH BEASTS OF ALL POSSIBLE LEGENDS AND TALES

Fight orcs, demons, skeletons, goblins, trolls, forest creatures and even animals like wolves or bears. The variety of monsters you will encounter in-game is a good material for a separate bestiary book, a weird one, that is.

FEELS LIKE A MAGIC

The task is made difficult by the fact that there was some kind of strange magic involved in all this. To remove the unfortunate spell, you must find all the mysterious sigils and close the portal leading to another dimension, the very home of awful creatures disrupting the peace in Wadeville.

FEATURES:

  • Protect your lands in this unique tower defense & resource management game sprinkled with a spicy pinch of strategy.

  • Get in the ranks with cowboys, Indians, soldiers, local Mexicans or bandits.

  • Distribute the units on the map properly - their location determines their strength.

  • Hire new members to boost your performance on the battlefield.

  • Gain experience and develop your units by equipping them with new, shiny weapons.

  • Set ambushes and place standard and premium turrets to protect every single acre of Wadeville.

Candy Disaster - Tower Defense

Candy Disaster - Tower Defense

As a tower defense game, it’s not very solid. You can run identical loadouts and get a different result every time due to the 3D layout and random monster movements.

The game balancing needs a lot of work. I’ve played a bunch of TD games but, for the life of me, I can’t get past a level (2-08) on the easiest setting.

The audio balance is pretty terrible. Even if you mute the game, you can still destroy headphones or speakers by pressing “start”.

I have played almost 2/3 of the tower defense games on the mobile game market. This game is the most playable I have ever seen.

All creeps have different routes in each round and are completely unpredictable. The developer lowered the performance of all traps. Looking forward to the full version! !
