AFTERBURN

AFTERBURN

I was a really big fan of Morfeo’s previous game, Furious Angels and have been waiting for this game for a long time and I’ve gotta say; totally worth the wait. I’ve been a huge fan of piloting games since Ace Combat on the PS2 and Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge on Xbox and this game honestly reminded me how much I love flying games! (Anyone got any recommendations? I’ve had a taste and I need more now! lol)

This game can be kind of frustrating to master (I was about ready to smash my face into the keyboard at attempt 250 but the sense of accomplishment I felt from finishing it was like nothing else.) but it’s control scheme is very intuitive, especially if you’ve played Furious Angels, and it’s very easy to pick up. I haven’t tried controller or joystick, but with a mouse (you don’t even need a keyboard at the moment but possible in the future it’ll be needed) to play this game without any issues. I have heard from others that it works just fine with a wide number of other controllers too if that’s more your style.

AFTERBURN is a strange game, in the same vein that it’s an incredibly fun one with a nostalgic feel to it. Do you remember the arcade cabinets of the days of yore that had those old joystick dogfighting games? Do you remember that one Tom Clancy arcade cabinet where you climbed into that ball and it’d shake and move around as you flew your fighter jet all over the place? AFTERBURN does a good job at bringing some of those feelings back.

While it might not have music or any proper soundtrack to speak of, I’d say one of the biggest strengths is being able to put your own playlist on and sit down for a 30-45 minute session. The game will hold your attention for a few runs instead of the majority of the day, but I’d say that’s a strength. AFTERBURN is what I’d qualify as a painkiller, a game you sit down and boot up when you need a quick distraction or just want to forget about things…

EDIT; 9/11/18 The issues I describe below of needing to acclimate in order to avoid hitting objects has substantially been dealt with admirably in several ways, in more than one update. MUCH more intuitive now. Thank you!

Full Disclosure: I LOVE TO FLY!!! (As a gamer, I mean.)

As such, I have a substantial number of Steam-based games that allow me to indulge this joyous affliction, the most recent being the wonderfully designed and remarkably addictive and entertaining Risky Wings (previously UBERFLIGHT.) Admittedly, flying games basically do one thing, and the measures of such games are:

Whisker Squadron

Whisker Squadron

Engage in epic aerial combat with your feline pilot of choice! This is Olivia, and her secondary attack is a volley of lock-on missiles:

Take on a series of epic, procedurally-generated boss fights!

Fight your way through dynamic worlds in a mission that’s unique every time you play it

Whisker Squadron is brought to you by the team who made Race The Sun. We are building on that game’s technology to combine silky smooth, immersive flight with roguelike elements, to create an experience that’s unlike anything on the market today. If you liked Starfox, you’ll love the character banter and playful story. If you liked Race The Sun, you’ll feel right at home with the forward-moving action and smooth controls. If you liked tactical roguelikes such as FTL or Slay The Spire, you’re going to love the special events between worlds and tactical upgrade choices.

Key Features

  • Procedurally generated, rogue-like mission structure that’s unique every time you play

  • Incredibly dynamic procedurally-generated bosses that make for intense climax to every mission

  • Choose your pilots from a cast of 4 feline heroes

  • Daily challenges and leaderboards

Lots of fun. Definitely worth the price. Would love to see more variety and detail in the maps in the future. Walking to the next hole gets tiresome because of the mini map. i wish there was a better way to indicate where the next hole is or where your current hole is. Maybe a larger top-down view you could toggle in and out of?

Honestly, here’s my guide to Sokpop, if you see something neat or interesting.. you’ll be glad you gave it a shot. The games are fun, & allow you to unwind very comfortably. They don’t expect you to go out of your way, you won’t feel like you’ve wasted time, & again for the price of half a meal, it’s worth it.

Oh & in case you weren’t looking hard enough a lot of these games offer multiplayer, which really blows my mind!!

“Sokpop Collective” makes valuable games!

P.s.

Sokpop, you’ve successfully made the first Disc Golf game that isn’t lame. Most in this genre focus heavily on the disc, having this world to play in is a blast. If a part 2 were to ever come out, I’ll buy that one too!! :)

Freedom Flight

Freedom Flight

Freedom Flight is a relaxing game, where you fly through procedurally generated worlds, collecting energy rings and try to get the best highscore. You need to collect enough rings to get to the next world. In the final game you will also have to search and rescue a friend. This game is made with Unreal Engine 5 and it’s still work in progress, the final version will have more details. The game is based on one of my favourite games: “Superflight”.

Relax and Enjoy

  • Enjoy the flight through beautiful procedurally generated worlds.

  • If you collect enough energy rings you can proceed to the next new environment.

  • Search for parts of your cyborg friend, which got scattered between the worlds.

    (More details coming soon)

Hunt and Score

  • Make your experience more intense and start hunting points.

  • If you get closer to the surface you will receive more points, however you will risk to crash.

  • The energy rings give you extra boost, so you can fly up again. Use your energy wisely, because it runs out quickly.

Your highscore will be added to an online leaderboard (if you like), so you can compete with your friends and show them how to fly like a pro!

Danger Forever

Danger Forever

Danger Forever is hardcore 3D scroll-shooter with rogue-lite elements.

_                                                Lone human rides her mecha-dragon

                          through hostile alien world of mechanoids and techno-demons_

Unlike most scrolling shooters, you actually fly through 3D environment — use it to your advantage, and beware bumping into walls or ground.

Also, instead of traditional showering enemies with bullets, you have to think ahead a bit — fuel/heat system adds some more depth to combat.

Levels are procedurally generated — each level is slightly different every time you play it

(but it’s not totally random of course).

Energy and materials obtained during level playthrough can be used to upgrade and customize you dragon.

You also need those materials and energy to build a spaceship to fight your way out of that hostile planet.

     F E A T U R E S

Explore over 100 levels in 6 distinct regions

World map is procedurally generated too, you can ’re-roll' your world.

Utilize elaborate scoring system to earn energy and materials needed for upgrades

The better you score the better gear you can afford.

Unlock new difficulty modes

On higher difficulty levels you’ll encounter enemies and hazards not present on ‘normal’ or ‘easy’.

Upgrade and customize your dragon

Abilities and weapon-modes are unlocked and upgraded for Azure and materials earned on levels.

Challenge yourself on specially designed infinite ‘survival’ levels

Survival levels are ranked on leaderboards.

Multiple Levels:

Besides having infinite procedural level variations, Hypergliders will have multiple environments (such as Cyberpunk City) to glide through. Concept Art:

Local Splitscreen:

Hop on a couch with your friends (or foes) and glide for the win in local split-screen mode and a special battle mode.
