Gladiator: Sword of Vengeance

Gladiator: Sword of Vengeance

I can’t belive this game is in Steam! My first hack and slash game of my childhood

Good story, gore combat, finishers, weapon upgrades, variety of enemies, etc

And not only that, they added trading cards and achievements so it’s more enjoyable

The negative thing is that mouse players are fu*ked. There is no support for mouse. It seems like the company who decided to re-launch this old title (Acclaim entertainment was the original developer) is forcing you to buy a controller lol. I remember playing this game back in 2003 with mouse without problems

I hate the controls, I can barely change them. I´m a WASD player, I cannot play well with the arrows.

UPDATE: I managed to change the arrows to WASD, but no mouse for the attacks. I assigned other keys for the attacks. It´s playable now, anyway.

I only wish the movement vectors were attached to my view, not the gladiator´s (much like in drones, where you can choose which vector the drone will obey). For example, if the character is facing left, and I want him to keep going left, I have to press forward, not left. It´s annoying. Sometimes, in the middle of a huge brawl, it´s very hard to make the gladiator go the direction I want.

A game in which you are alone with the zombies and you need to defend against them in order to survive. The game features 6 locations. There is a gun shop. But also, weapons and ammunition can be found in the locations themselves.

The atmosphere of the game is rather creepy, the corresponding music in the background adds horror.

The game requires certain improvements. But some modes are interesting to play. I liked the “defense” mode (Coop)

The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile

The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile

SO! First question you guys might ask yourselves when looking at this game:

Q: “Is the gameplay any good?”

A: Yes. BIG yes. So far, gameplay wise, it’s the best side scrolling beat’em up I’ve ever played. The gameplay is fast paced, smooth, and VERY satisfying. Both with controller AND keyboard. Feels like Smash bros but tighter and more visceral.

NOTE: For the keyboard though, you’re gonna want to go into your options, and switch your, “Blood Warp” ability to the, “F” key. You’ll know what I mean once you get the Blood Warp ability. (You get it within the 1st 5-10 minutes of playing)

The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile is the sequel to The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai. They both were Xbox Live Arcade games. For some reason, only this one was ported over which is disappointing because TD:VS is an awesome blood pumping beat’em up. The story is told in comic book style comment bubbles and stills, which is fine considering the 2D style to the game. You don’t necessarily need to play the first one to understand the story of this game. Its recounted numerous times during the cutscenes.

There are two playable characters Yuki (The Prisoner) or the Dishwasher. Both have their own arsenals of weapons at their disposal but operate mostly the same as far as movement and dish magic. Dish magic is 4 special abilities that can really change the tide of battle in your favor. There are also beads you can equip that add various effects to the character you choose. Both characters will share any health or magic upgrades you purchase, but the weapon upgrades are unique to the individual character. A floating robot acts as a vendor throughout most levels to purchase character upgrades and items.

Knights of the Temple: Infernal Crusade

Knights of the Temple: Infernal Crusade

Maybe it’s not a masterpiece, but I like its atmosphere of great fight against evil.

+:

  • Various environments, enemies and weapons (European soldiers, Saracens, assassins, demons, swords, scimitars, axes, maces…).

  • Unique atmosphere created by cutscenes.

  • Satisfying fighting system.

  • Highly customisable. It’s built using Starbreeze Studios’s Ogier engine, for which many tools are released and available for free.

-:

  • It seems unfinished, especially after seeing credits and unused cutscenes and models. Also cutscenes that were used seems like a part of much big story, which can be developed fully in more sophisticated, RPG game and was chopped into pieces for this game.

Knights of the Temple: Infernal Crusade is worth its price. I just finished the game for the first time ever. The camera is fixed in various spots depending on your position and the area you’re in, but you can still look around to a certain degree. The game switches to first person perspective when using a bow which I found to be a great mechanic. No crosshair, but the trajectory is rather easy to predict. Combat feels amazing - a basic set of easy combos, three melee weapon types + bow and really cool divine powers on top of that. The hitboxes are fairly precise (most of the time). The game is best played with a controller, but the keyboard is still viable and the mouse makes aiming with the bow much easier. There are several types of enemies that the game often floods you with, but they are still diverse enough to not get boring and fighting them was really fun. On the contrary, some areas just felt too empty. The puzzles are present in the game, but you can count them with the fingers of one hand and they are not at all difficult. At least they don’t stagnate your progress though. There are also many weapons and a few divine power upgrades to find. Again, not too hard of a task if you like exploring every possible corner. As for visuals - after all these years the game still remains quite pleasing to the eye. Sure, many constantly reused models and textures, but the game’s super old so for me it had its charm. The story is actually quite decent but I may be a little biased there since it’s (obviously) rooted in Christianity.

Warhammer: Vermintide 2

Warhammer: Vermintide 2

I’ve stumbled upon this game back when it was in the beta times from 2018 while watching a twitch streamer try it out and at that time I would never even have guessed that it had this much to offer and how much it means to me now.

From a game that was originally meant to be played for approx. 80-100 hours, this game has more creativity, beauty, lore, depth, personality, care and charm than any other live service games I’ve seen over the past years. It is so much more than meets the eye at first glance, this honestly is a piece of art hidden in plain sight, and all it needs.. is your attention towards it. The time you can spend with it is already insane and while you are getting used to it’s flow of mechanics such as mastering a high skill ceiling combat, movesets, movement, item management, becoming a team player, taking in the enviroment and what’s around you is going to test your patience. But that’s a good thing. Learning is afterall more.. effective and rewarding that way. Times when you turn philosophical and ask “why is this the way it is?" , “what’s the reason behind this?" , “what is happening exactly?" becomes more frequent. That of course, is if you are curious enough. Once you start going down the rabbit hole of exploring and unraveling the many secrets, depth and insane detailing of the game you start to realise that this is a psychological mental trip with details so tiny, that some may never even be mentioned.

Great coop-focused game that’s set in the Warhammer Fantasy universe.

But even for people who’re complete strangers to this world it’s a satisfying game to play.

If you’re in for some tense firstperson hack & slash action, while at the same time you develop your character(s) and make them entirely fitting your playstyle(s), then this game is definitely for you.

Thanks to the addition of the Chaos Wastes mode, which packs another 40 Gigs (?) of action in an entirely different gamemode, it’s pretty much two games in one.

YAIBA: NINJA GAIDEN Z

YAIBA: NINJA GAIDEN Z

The only Ninja Gaiden experience currently available on PC! I say enjoy it!

Note: Only recommended if you have a controller!

Pros:

  • Amazing graphics and animation as one expects for a Ninja Gaiden game.

  • Cool combat and funny/interesting enemies

  • Funny anti hero character

Cons:

  • The game is too short for a Ninja Gaiden game

  • Enemies are funny but can get old, and no Ninja type enemies. All are zombies!

  • Can be frustrating (but then what Ninja Gaiden game isn’t?)

So in my view Ninja Gaiden 1 as a game is the Deus Ex equivalent of action games

Real player with 23.6 hrs in game

I want to clear something up before I move on here. This game is NOT a traditional Ninja Gaiden game, if you couldn’t already tell. I feel as though some people were looking for a Ninja Gaiden 4, a true sequel to Gaiden 2 (because 3 was definitely a different, less satisfying beast). So Yaiba. This game is the extreme opposite of a true Ninja Gaiden game in many ways. However, it is also like those games in many ways as well. Let me explain.

I’ve played Ninja Gaiden 1-3, beginning from the original xbox. I was never great at them, constantly getting punished just like every other regular joe, but I beat all three. I’ve read from others that this isn’t a true Ninja Gaiden, that it’s easier, that it’s more or less terrible. Sure, if you were amazing at the first two, maybe this one wasn’t that next level of challenge you were looking for.

[NINJA GAIDEN: Master Collection] NINJA GAIDEN Σ

At last!

I spent years and years of my life wondering “will Ninja Gaiden ever come to PC?” You see, my last game console was the SNES. My parents couldn’t afford a console. And I wouldn’t dare to ask for one. Given that, I beat Ninja Gaiden on someone else’s original Xbox, back in 2004-05. And I love this game. I’ve always loved. So, it finally coming to PC was a long-awaited bliss.

After 145 hours of gameplay and a platinum, I think I’m in a position where I can throw my two cents in, specially after having platinumed it. In this text, there will be not only opinions on downsides and upsides, but also an opinion about the “fans” and the developers that I wanna scream from the top of my lungs.

PLEASE READ TLDR AT BOTTOM;REVIEW STANCE CHANGED

I played the original “Ninja Gaiden Black”, then played the Sigma versions on PS3, then played Ninja Gaiden Black on Xbox One via Backwards compatibility. THEN I played it on an emulator to try to relive some type of nostalgic memories and realized that the game held up really well especially since it was running on something that wasn’t even supported by the developers. I then waited for years for news to break on whether or not this game would get released on PC since I was finally able to afford to build one and play games in the best quality possible. I always told myself that “Yeah I love Ninja Gaiden so much, I’ve bought the games like 3 different times, but if it were to ever come out on Steam, I’d buy it for 60 dollars all over again.” As crazy and devoted as it sounds, I just enjoyed the game for so long that it just made sense to have it in my steam collection. We’re now on the day that it finally came out, what’s essentially considered a “rapture” day for me since I never truly thought it would actually happen, only to be disappointed.

BloodRayne 2 (Legacy)

Wow thought i did a revew already but steam says i have not so here it is . no secret i love this game note profile picture and steam name . so biased revew warning however i will try to give as much usefule information as i can .

I recomend purchase on sale ocashionally all the bloodrayne and older games go on sale for about a doller or so

the game is a third person action game uncomplicated game play and some platforming elements I am a person that hates platfomers Some of the death puzzles where you have to throw the bodies of dead enemys into certian locations to trigger an ending are a bit anoying but .

Better graphics, better audio, more platforming, better story with a more interesting cast of characters alongside more detailed interactive levels with puzzles. Gameplay has a more in-depth combat system with lock-on mode for blocking & maneuvering, a new combo system for melee/ranged, new useful powers for use once unlocked, just one gun but different firing modes while being give take once your out of ammo (health for ammo; yours or theirs) and melee/ranged has their own simple upgrades after using your guns a lot (more ammo reserves) or brutalizing enemies enough (new combos) lastly feeding gives you a choice of either healing or earning rage but you can do both just don’t expect to earn equal amounts. 3 modes now instead of 4 with Aura mode to spot enemies, Vampire Lairs & objectives; Rage mode for increased combat effectiveness and Dilated Perception for slow-mo. Each mode has a set of other sub abilities to further enhance your combat skill but all use Rage meter. As with the 1st game you get new skills as you progress with the game. Level interactions are a fun new way of dispatching foes permanently with even more destructible objects and lethal hazards to harpoon swing them at to get some health bonus if you succeed. The seldom Vampire lairs are a nice way to restock health and ammo and lastly more platforming segments to shake up the game. You aren’t making ground meat out of Nazis scum and demon spawns anymore as your dealing with different minions of Rayne’s half-relatives to stop them from carrying out their plans for Vampire dominance with a lot more character, personality & motivation then before. Not as much variety as the 1st game’s enemies some new completely new ones though but they have their own unique appearances depending on which half-relative they work for with few exceptions. Boss fights are more varied now requiring you to use different skills to pass but just as enjoyable. Main issues with the game are that cutscenes wont play unless your running the exe in Windows Vista Service Pack 2 compatibility mode, game likes to hang when your in the menu, game is buggy unless your limit the frames like the 1st game, AI difficulty spike is ridiculous, no difficulty selection like the 1st game, some puzzles are fun but some are just plain annoying and unfair not just due to the complexity of the puzzle but also some enemy encounters are rather ridiculous as they expect you to be a master at dealing with any situation against such insane odds like infinite waves of enemies that are a great pain when its the more elite much tougher much quicker foes. In summery a great sequel for the series that’s as brutal as it looks where you better know what your doing with the new mechanics to succeed in a more personal story that’s just as witty, bloody, sassy and sexy as before.

BloodRayne Betrayal (Legacy)

BloodRayne Betrayal (Legacy)

If you are familiar with the Bloodrayne series, then I must first warn you that it plays nothing like the previous games, an open mind is required should you decide to purchase. This is a challenging platform brawler that has 15 stages in total, not a Metroidvania with free roam. You can obtain secret skulls that can extend your life bar or bullet count, but you won’t unlock new move sets or level up.

In terms of graphics, I feel the screenshots didn’t do it much justice. While it may look like a flash game in still frames, the animation is extremely smooth and pleasant to look at. The stage backdrops are detailed and befitting in most cases, while the blood splatters never gets old. I do have some gripes on the lack of variety though, as every single enemy of the same type will look the same every time, not even a colour swap, this was just plain lazy.

OK, look at screenshots. That’s it. End of the story. BloodRayne: Betrayal is one of those rare games that look almost exactly as they feel. What can you expect from something that looks like this? Naturally, a tiny little spin-off that has pretty much nothing with the original series. Might & Magic Heroes, Assassin’s Creed Chronicles, HALO: Spartan Assault, Magicka: Wizards of the Square Tablet… You know the drill. And even though this game is not really important as a part of the BloodRayne series? Gameplay here sure does deserve your attention. See, BloodRayne: Betrayal is a game from WayForward Technologies. The guys who made the very first Shantae, Contra 4 and surprisingly great Aliens Infestation. And even though BloodRayne: Betrayal is not as good as those games above… it tries. It sure does.
