Nira

Nira

Nira is a pixel based RPG which heavily reminds me of the old Holy Grail on the Atari 800 from back in the 80s.

The price is very generous for the content, hard time, and updates to come.

I purchased this game moment it was released as I could not bare to be without Nira once the beta ended.

I had the opportunity to play this game and help with debugging and suggestions along with many others who helped out as well.

The game is quite simple to learn, and very enjoyable. It’s one of those games you start playing then realize the day flew by.

I’ve been really enjoying playing Nira, so far, I know it’s early days right now but I find the gameplay engaging and the items satisfying to obtain and use.

It’s very easy to get into; the way that the tools progress leads you nicely through the crafting tree, the combat is simple and rewarding (especially once you have gathered enough resources for projectile weapons), and I enjoy the foraging/farming aspect, it’s nice to see crops that you have gathered, or traded for, grow.

I cannot speak to the multiplayer myself, as I have yet to try it, but I enjoy the single player mode immensely.

Love this video game, so pretty, so much fun, unique runs. Just buy it!!

Edit with a more detailed review for all the haters of my first review:

An extremely polished game with a boss system that I have never seen on this kind of a game before. The bosses have so much personality in their designs as well as their behavior in the game. They scale wonderfully making them have a unique experience in each difficulty.

Even though it’s early access, it has so many awesome+hilarious power ups and weapons so that you can play it over and over without getting bored. It has 3 worlds so far for beating the game, and I’ve heard that the very active dev-team has got so many more planned. Each world currently in the game also has several different bosses, and a uniquely generated map each time, so it will be a different experience each time. Can’t wait for new worlds and bosses to be added soon!

A Fishy RPG

A Fishy RPG

I received this game as a curator from developers to try it out and give an honest opinion about it. Well, this game is boring and pointless. Maybe somebody is gonna like it, I don’t. Also, there is a bug in the game that does not let you quit the game, so I had to restart my computer in order to get rid of it. I uninstalled it, and yet Steam was showing that I’m inside the game, and counting hours played…. And the game itself is, you go around and catch fish. And even though people say that pixelated games are now in, I had my share of playing Commodore 64 in 1980’s, why in gods name would I want to play something as ugly as this game? Even the pixelated games can look good. (Dungeon of the endless for example). This game is plane ugly.

A small retro style mid 80’s arcade game

The Developer has tried for an approachable classic look, and considering the requested price tag has definitely aimed for a niche market.

Calling the game an RPG is a bit of a stretch but one does have Character Skills to grow and choose between which do affect how your interaction with the world goes down. This primary interaction, is an arcade interface fishing action with the prime directive being to discover more interesting and valuable 8-bit fishies.

Aquarius

Aquarius

I followed to development of Aquarius for a long time already and I can say that this game is amazing. I played it last time when it was open for playing in Alpha or something like that where you couldn’t even shoot enemies and the game has gone a long way from there. It’s a good game for when you have nothing to play or just don’t know what to play and I would recommend it, it also has amazing music.

Aquarius is a really fun game, and I know that I will like playing it to the end

On My Own

On My Own

I wish the game would let me know that I should have some food prepared between biomes, before telling me I starved to death on my way to said biome and then deleting my save file of 3 hours. I also got really focused on finding foxes and forgot to eat. I had plenty of food, but then I “starved to death” and another save file of 5 hours was deleted. I understand it’s trying to be realistic, you should think of this intuitively, you should figure it out, etc. but forcing a complete restart after hours of tedious gathering and crafting just feels like a slap in the face.

just a garbage game.

Graphics 4/10 - kind of cute and retro.

Interface 1/10 - Feels like a bad phone port. it’s very clunky.

Music 2/10 - it gets unbelievably repeative hearing the same loop.

Guidance 3/10 - It doesn’t hold your hand. It pushes you from behind and laughs. then ignores you forever.

Saves 0/10 - Manual saves are overwritten by autosaves making M. Saves pointless.

Overall 2/10 - I’d return it if I bought it specifically. but it came in a bundle. I’ll check back in a month and edit this review if things improve. Right now? DO NOT BUY.
