SPL: Skilled Pilots Live

This game is some straight forward honest arcade shooting fun with some nice features thrown in to keep it interesting; weapon choices , ship enhancements, crafting, loot (new), allied wingmen (new) and a ring flying game. I get my my fix of it in an 30 mins to an hour a play which is perfect for me as time is hard to come by for me . I found the game to have medium/hard difficulty, but the difficulty scales based on how you play the game and you are rewarded with a higher score and rewards etc. Too easy then go for the 100%+ encounters too hard stay around 50% and grind a bit until you get better gear. The bosses tend to be the hardest part,but all good boss battles are :) I think of it as if R type had a 3d baby with Doom, and Souls :) In its state now I would rate it above average ,but with the potential to be a great game with more guidance from the community and hard work from the developer.

A little rough around the edges, and a bit light handed on the tutorial however this game grows on you very quickly.

The combat is different from most 4x style games there is a lot of control over the ship. There are a few things I have noticed that I am sure will be fixed my biggest problem is when enemy ships are close together your ship does not seem to know who to lock onto. ( but there is a weapon type that does take care of this. ) My biggest issue with the game would be even thou it controls very nice an fluid there is a lack of feeling. (( what i mean by a lack of feeling is that it feels like your not moving. If it was not for the wave like field that is around your ship when moving i would think i was sitting still. )) All in All I would rate this game a solid 7 out of 10. An with that bottom line is the game is FUN, FLUID,EASY TO LEARN.

EVERSPACE™ 2

EVERSPACE™ 2

This is of course a review of the Early Access version, so some of the cons I find with the game, might disappear with the final version.

*If you like Space Simulators, this is a game for you.

THE GOOD

• Lots of fun, although, (and this is probably related to it being early access) things get repetitive very fast.

• Controls are fine, you get the hang of everything rather quickly.

• For those of us who enjoyed games like Tie Fighter, Descent and FREESPACE, this is our type of game.

It has been 18 years since Microsoft released the game Freelancer. In that time, no other game/developer has succeeded in capturing what made that game great, and brought us a game like it. You can find many space games that have failed to bring us that genre properly. Many times people saying things like “Closest thing to Freelancer, best since Freelancer.” However, it’s always known that they aren’t actually that close, or nearly as good. This game however, is hitting ALL the right check boxes for being a PROPER Freelancer successor.

Space Abyss

Space Abyss

Space Abyss is simple right now, but it still shows a lot of potential for more to be added in the future! I like the idea of it; cruising around, collecting minerals, destroying cube planet systems with increasing power and finding other minerals that can be used to empower what you’ve collected.

The graphics are impressive, there is an amazing balance between Gameplay and Visuals, I’ve only seen one type of enemy so far, and am curious if newer types of challenging opponents will be implemented, as well as probable expansion of the pre-existing arsenal.

Insula: Bounty Royale

Insula: Bounty Royale

Welcome to Insula

That was the tagline—humanities’ new hope. At least, until they all disappeared, working with a mysterious organization known as Kaizo, you are tasked with exploring Insula and discovering what really happened to all the poor souls that had called this home. To survive that, you will need some serious tech and no small amount of credits.

You know of one way to get that out here. The Bounty Royale, a brutal, mechanized bounty-hunting bloodsport that runs autonomously right here down on the surface of Genesis. To get started, you’ll need to recover and repair one of the light and agile combat exo-suits that were used early on by the security forces on Insula. If you survive, you can use your winnings to start amassing the tech you will need to build your own anthrobot, a fully mechanized combat-ready battle chassis that you control from afar via neural link.

One way or another, your only hope of making it home, relies on solving the mystery of a now-dead Insula. All paths to that end, begin in the arena.

Battle Royale Reimagined

In Insula: Bounty Royale, you play as an Anthrotech, ex-military combat engineers specially trained in building and maintaining the Drakonis Anthro combat machines known as Anthrobots. Recently awoken from stasis and apparently stranded on what used to be a thriving mining colony in the atmosphere above Genesis, you must survive long enough to find out what happened and find a way home.

Insula: Bounty Royale, is the first-ever arena shooter built atop some of the more popular battle royale mechanics, to fully intertwine a compelling and adrenaline-filled story with the competitive PvP arena gameplay. Your base is where the story plays out, segments of solo gameplay will occur to advance your story. Events in the multiplayer arena will feed directly into that story and your character’s progression through it. While the solo story aspects are optional, there is much to be gained by participating in that aspect of the game.

The Arena

In the arena Insula further distinguishes itself. You can compete in person, donning a fully combat-ready exosuit, or from afar using one of the neural link-controlled Anthrobots. The arenas are highly vertical and utilizing fast-paced acrobatic flight capabilities, your tactical options are virtually limitless as literally every inch of play space is traversable and usable to your advantage.

Bounty Royale

The Bounty Royale is a unique twist on the battle royale game mode. When a new match starts, each contestant has a bounty on their head. Outfitting yourself with advanced technology, you must track and hunt down your opponents and eliminate them to collect their bounties. With each opponent you eliminate, your own bounty will increase, making you a more desirable target for everyone else. The other hunters are not your only concern, however, nor are they your only source of earning. There be beasties about in this place, and they are hungry! Lucrum pays a hefty bounty for the extermination of these dangerous creatures as well!

Be warned though, the commotion caused by the competition often draws attention from larger hordes of creatures nearby. It is not unheard of for the contestants to temporarily work together to survive long enough to finish hunting each other.

Custom-Built Your Way

Customize your anthrobots & exosuits with a vast array of armor. Build them big and beefy or light and nimble; it’s your style! And of course, no brand is complete without custom paint jobs, logos, and programmed battle taunts!

Drones And Abilities

Once you’ve built your dream battle rig, finish it off by adding the perfect companion drone. They’ll provide data recording, scan analysis, and resource extraction. They also offer specific skills to use during combat. Armor repair, energy shields, advanced tracking, recon, and even stealth, pick one that’s right for you!

Player Bounties

You’re not just fighting for bragging rights. Bounties are the heart and soul of Insula: Bounty Royale. Each opponent has a bounty on their head. Putting them in the ground means creds in your pocket and creds in your pocket means upgrades! Upgrade your base, kit out your bot, & enhance your lifestyle! Be mindful of your notoriety, though. The more you take, the more you’re worth, and the more others will want to add you to their trophy list!

High-Octane Aerial Combat

You are not limited to just where you can reach on foot, each exosuit and Anthrobot is outfitted with a customizable flight rig. Flight is fast, intense, and acrobatic. High-speed aerial maneuvers allow you to take full advantage of the arena’s massive vertical play space. Play the ground game, or take to the skies, this is dog-fighting at its best!

Private Island Bases

Each player has a private, customizable, and upgradable island base hovering in the atmosphere above Genesis. Your base provides story advancement and lore discovery through seamlessly integrated events and achievements during the multiplayer arena matches. It also enables the crafting of options and upgrades for your gear, not to mention, some pretty cool ways to display your hard-earned achievements as part of the base decor!

Lovely Asteroids update, but as a lifelong Asteroids fan I do have some criticisms.

1. The turn movement is way too slow.

2. Adding reverse thrust has made the game way too easy.

3. The mothership cutscene between each level slows the pace of the game down.

4. Would be nice to have a vector-graphic retro look as an switchable option.

Other than those four gripes, not bad. I like the fact you can play with up to 4 players.

Battle for Sea 3D

Battle for Sea 3D is an overpriced game. The controls in the game are terrible, the graphics in the game are terrible. I do not advise anyone to buy this game ..

If you’re looking for a battleship clone, look elsewhere: While the gameplay is true to the original, the bland visuals, uncooperative camera, and sluggish pace provide–at most–one to two rounds of enjoyment.

Upon starting the game, you’re greeted by a fullscreen window with only one option: Place your ships. Through quick trial and error, you’re probably figure out that you click once to anchor, then once more to rotate the angle, but nowhere is this shown. Speaking of which, there doesn’t appear to be any settings menu, or exit button.

LandRocker

LandRocker

WHAT IS LANDROCKER?

LandRocker is a play-to-earn online multiplayer game where players can engage in fierce PvP battles, nail-biting vehicle races and most exciting of all mining!

Earn exploration tickets which can be used to launch expeditions to generated planets where vast fortunes of tokens are hidden using zero-knowledge calculations.

Feel like playing it safe? You can sell those tickets alongside a number of other in-game assets directly to other players on the marketplace.

STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN

Pick your faction, Rockeneer or Lantender, and battle for control of Mars Marvel City. Strategize with your squad to take over the seven different sections of the city, each with its own vital role and function. Capturing specific areas will directly impact the rest of the round, so keep this in mind when deciding which areas to capture first. The team which controls four sections at once wins the round.

LAST STAND

Overcome your opponents to be the last rover standing and earn a ticket to mine in Exploration Mode.

SPEED AWAY

Enjoy the thrill of high-speed rover racing on a variety of exciting tracks. Show off your driving skills and edge out the competition. Need a boost? You can upgrade and customize your rover to increase your odds of winning!

TRUST AND TRANSPARENCY

The technology we use undeniably offers new exciting opportunities for gaming. Using this technology we are able to produce and distribute valuable assets throughout the world of LandRocker. This presented a challenge for development however – how do we do it without players being able to predict and abuse the distribution system?

The solution – we developed our own Distribution Method which we call “Proof of Location” which uses special calculations to generate and hide the coins without leaving any trace.

This puts all LandRocker players on an even playing field with the same odds of getting lucky while mining. No one, not even us, have the knowledge to predict the coin positions.

Hunt for hidden treasure

Use tickets you earn from playing LandRocker to launch expeditions to beautifully generated worlds rich with hidden valuables. The distribution of the coins in Exploration Mode is done algorithmically meaning their locations are truly unknown, even to the developers themselves.

Play and win games in various game modes to earn Exploration tickets.

Customize your XCAVATOR to mine more efficiently and make the most of the Exploration tickets you earn.
