Citadale - The Awakened Spirit

Citadale - The Awakened Spirit

Scanlines should be a mandatory feature for all retro-style games. It adds so much to Citadale.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU3qTfPmGjU

If you want to see Citadale and its difficulty in action, watch my video. Take old-school Castlevania, add a second item slot, the generosity of checkpoints, and a couple of odd design choices. Stages can be tackled in any order, with the castle acting as a sort of hub. Bosses are painfully difficult.

You have a shield that is sometimes useful. If you pick up a subweapon, I hope you were paying attention because the one you just had is gone. (This is my only serious complaint. I wish you dropped the previous one so you could switch back, especially with the two slots available.) Some enemies bleed poison that will hurt you. Being deliberate and having good timing is the key to everything.

I wanted to like this game but I couldn’t… Graphics are fine, music is OK, animations are meh, enemy IA non existent and story, I didn’t gave it the chance.

IA is the main reason I’m not recommending this game. Enemies seems to move randomly or using some kind of pathfinding algorithm in order to reach you, which some times is just painful. There’s a boss who will move immediately after being hit, sometimes it will move in your direction… sometimes it wont, aaaand if you enter the room without a subweapon you can throw upwards you might end up dying of boredom waiting for the boss to move down so you can reach it. Also I don’t recomend it because I hate instakill spikes…

Honestly, I really enjoyed this game. The story, the characters, everything was really good and honestly might have to play it again!

This game is good.

Being the first one, ( I think, ) to ever play this other then maybe testers, and the first one to possibly buy it,

I’m only 4 chapters in so far.

While, it is a bit painfully short, I really like it.

The art style might be deceiving and make people discouraged to buy it, but in my opinion, I like it. It makes it more unique, and I reccomend it.

It has a earthbound like battle system, mixed with some other games, and it also reminded me of other things like UNDERTALE, OMORI, etc.

For a Game that is fast and you can do multiple choices just go ahead and play it worth it!

I was just browsing the store for a cheap game and found this wonderful game. I had no idea what the game was like and immediately saw the art style which already settled the deal for me. I enjoyed the overall gameplay the most however. It was your standard RPG game except for the fact where you get to pick your main character and 3 others to follow which will later on impact your game. I also enjoyed the aspects of the rivalry system the game had to offer and

! the different ending that you can achieve in the game . The game had several unique aspects to it that really made me happy when i bought this game. I plan on playing this game more and grinding up those achievements! This game really is a game that will stick with me for a long time.

Rebels - Under the Spell of Magic (Chapter 1)

Rebels - Under the Spell of Magic (Chapter 1)

I found Rebels very entertaining! The character and story is very detailed and I was able to immerse myself in the rough world (slaves) which is full of wonders (magic and fantasy creatures). A personal gimmick I found was the options for the main character’s activities or the paths he should take. I was so interested in the story that I temporarily saved each of them in order to be able to read the various options.

I liked the main character’s facial expressions best ;D I love Folken’s facial expressions and have had to laugh a lot, there seems to be a lot of work in character creation and portrayal here.

YESSSSS! This is a fine specimen of a story. It reminds me of anime/manga, particularly “HXH” (“Hunter X Hunter”). No, I am not saying that’s what it is… But the fact that it reminds me of it… Means it’s interesting and worth looking into! Oh the story comes with achievements! So hurray for that too!

Okay well… It kept my attention and was really unpredictable, but at one point or another I wanted to know more about the world, characters, races, monsters and so on. I liked the CGs and the funniest to me was when the main character did his brilliant smile. If I have to pick a character which one looks the best - it would be… “Number 1”. He is probably highly evil, but yeah… (I am not good with names, but he has such fuzzy ears!)

Burn Me Alive is a pseudo-psychological horror game in the walking simulator game space. Your wife and kid got burnt to toast and were buried in the cemetery, your therapist should have clued you in on, probably wasn’t the best choice for a grieving husband/dad. Throw in a whole bunch of cigs and booze and Satan just starts coming out of ya! Burn Me Alive is almost too stereotypical for a game like this. It sounds like a metal song name or a movie or a book, sadly generic with little impacts.

Fall of Porcupine

Fall of Porcupine

FALL OF PORCUPINE is a unique story adventure. The collision of work and daily life – an exciting reflection of an unhealthy system.

In the supplemental LAST DAYS OF SUMMER we guide young Finley through his first weeks at a provincial hospital. He is on fire for his apprenticeship as an internist. But a lot of pressure makes Finley’s life difficult and our gameplay challenging.

Explore A Beautiful, Diverse World

Not only is there a lot to discover in the old hospital, but also in the small town itself. There you can meet the villagers and have a beer with them in the pub. Or you can take a trip to the nearby forest, where mysterious castle ruins are hidden.

Get to Know Exciting Characters

The blunt head doctor, the selfless nurse or Finley’s smart friend, they all and many other residents populate the small town of Porcupine. Have funny, profound and serious dialogues with them, in which you’ll be able to choose answers and influence your relationship with them.

Demonstrate Your Skills and Empathy

You don’t even have time to look at the clock because your patients are waiting! Find out what’s wrong with them through conversations and treat them in different minigames that challenge you in logic, speed and skill. And most importantly, withstand the stress when the strict head doctor asks about your knowledge again.

Uncover Dark Secrets

At first glance, the small town is a warm, friendly place where everyone knows and greets each other. But if you live there for any length of time, you’ll suspect that shadows lurk and that not everyone is as honest as they pretend to be. Be on guard!
