Cavyrn

Hello,

I like the game. At the beginning i had some problems with the tutorial because i read it 5 times false. But now the game makes fun and it’s not so easy. When you die you are dead and need to start a new world. Also I like the retro look.

What i wish:

I hope that eventually there will be more languages

A little note where you can read about the mosnters where also cool

Some game modes

Sry for my bad english

Denari

Denari

Denari is a narrative-driven hack and slasher with a telekinetic twist. It tells the story of a boy who is aided by the spirits of the dead to save his people from an invading empire.​ Featuring the iconic toon-style art of Ninja Kiwi veteran Tamihana Greaves and powerful soundtrack from multiple award winning composer David Mason.

Mechanics

On top of snappy attacks, quick dashes, precise counters and slick executions, players can harness the power of the goddess Qira. As a lone warrior against an army, manipulating enemy attacks to cause friendly fire damage is crucial to gaining an advantage.

Redirect

Ranged attacks can be caught and redirected. Some projectiles cause AOE damage upon redirected hit.

Blast

Taiu can wield spiritual energy that seeks nearby enemies.

Friendly Fire

Each enemy has a heavy attack that can hurt other enemies. Taiu can manipulate these attacks to gain the upper hand.

Characters

The player character of the story. Taiu is a young orphan who grew up on port Nali, a peaceful fishing village. He dreams of becoming one of Qira’s Apostles, a group of elite warrior monks who dedicate themselves to the service of the goddess Qira and her people.

Taiu’s zany teacher. Teach is a former apostle whose obsession with mastery has lead him to seek a disciple to train in the art of combat. As Taiu’s master, Teach takes it upon himself to push Taiu to his limits and beyond, sometimes at the risk of his dear student’s life.

The elder of Port Nali. Ooma’s long life of hard earned lessons have imbued her with great wisdom, enough to doubt even the most sacred traditions. Her disapproval in Taiu’s path and distaste for his teacher are rooted in questions of faith, ones she’s sought the answers to her whole life.

Enemies

The Denari army are a terrible force powered by advanced weaponry and dark magic. From the brutish Beast to the fire-wielding Crone, the Denari are able to adapt to and overpower any force that stands in their way.

To make matters worse, Their general, “the Summoner” possesses the power to teleport his soldiers from afar, enabling the army to cross continents and conquer new territories efficiently.

To stop the invasion for good, Taiu must face the Summoner and end him.

The King of Warriors : Battle in the Three Kingdoms

The King of Warriors : Battle in the Three Kingdoms

It’s a very fun side-scrolling game.

The tutorial is well designed so that anyone can play easily.

In particular, I want to give points to the battle.

The sound reminds me of Street Fighter and makes me nostalgic for retro games.

아주 재미난 횡스크롤 플레이 게임이다

누구나 쉽게 플레이할 수 있게 튜토리얼도 잘 설계되어있다.

특히 나는 전투에 점수를 주고 싶다 플레이가 쉬우면서도 타격감이 뛰어나다

사운드는 스트리트파이터를 생각나게 하며 레트로 게임에 대한 그리움을 느끼게 한다.

Arthurian Legends

Arthurian Legends

The Greatest Medieval Retro FPS to date…

Okay, so listen, son! This is the most fun, most historically inaccurate, bonkers, no-nonsense, Arthurian slaughter-fest you can ever imagine in videogame format. It’s like if it was made in 1996, before it was lost and forgotten for ages until a young and brave archeologist dug it out from some old crypt in Ireland.

It is highly addicting and rewarding with full of opportunities created by the wide variety of weapons, spells, and items. It’s almost like an immersive sim in terms of how many different ways you can approach an encounter or problem. It is hard but fair, very reminiscent of Blood where you need to adapt quickly to tense situations yet always thread very carefully to succeed.

Real player with 27.5 hrs in game

This is an excellent game for fans of classic melee FPS games like, yes, Witchaven I & II. It’s absolutely a hoot to play, the secrets are very well hidden, and there’s a real attempt at atmosphere going on. I almost wish it was more like an immersive sim (or at least a step or two towards Hedon) in including notes to read along the way, just because the environments LOOK like they’d have little stories to tell. Excellent work, there.

So, all of that said, let me focus on what needs improvement, starting with one issue/disclaimer.

GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon

GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon

So, my first thought about this game was: “Hold up, Konami’s making games again?!”

Second thought was: “….and it’s a niche title and NOT a more recognised name.”

Third thought was: “…. and sh!t, it’s quite good! Even for early access! You guys OK down there at Konami HQ? Just that you’re acting like…… well NOT Konami.”

…In all seriousness though, taking the rogue-like approach to a metroidvania title is an interesting spin, and fundamentally, it works well. Gameplay leans heavily towards being more tactical and methodical than it does being stylish and fast. And since you have limited ways of healing, you’re forced to consider how best to dispatch your enemies while taking as few hits as possible. It’s not quite dark souls, just enough to keep you thinking.

Writing this review while playing the v0.4.10 update (Nov. 4th 2021), and the game is in Early Access so take the review with a grain of salt upon further updates. I like this game and can’t wait to see how it evolves but at this stage I do not recommend anyone buying it right now, wait until it is fleshed out and hopefully perfected.

PROS:

  • Beautiful artstyle, boss intros are honestly to die for and sometimes have me rewatching em cause they are so pretty.

  • Good music that is nice but doesn’t get stuck n your head in a grating way.
