HEXCRAFT: Harlequin Fair

HEXCRAFT: Harlequin Fair

Haven’t got very far into it yet. As a fan of Oleander Garden’s other games: The Pagan trilogy, and Hexcraft: Eventide Sigil, I can say with certainty that this is exactly what I expected in the best ways. It feels a bit jank, the graphics are muddy and dated, and it is very frustrating dying with very little warning over and over. It’s part of the experience, however. The game is one big immersive-sim-esque puzzle about working out how to get anything done. Leave your morals at the door, rob some people, and acquire black metal shirts to fight off the horrors lurking in dungeons hidden behind shopping malls and alleyways. It’s a lo-fi game for sure, but the experience is well worth the 13 dollars.

Immersively simulate a nightmare. I instigated a gang war in Chinatown so I could plunder tarot cards from those caught in the crossfire. The victims had recited poetry to me moments before. They knew me by name.

Oleander Garden’s work is consistently haunting, enigmatic, beautiful, infuriating. It’s genuinely fun to bang my head against its walls in an attempt to uncover its secrets. I loved this game.

Given how unfairly obscure it is, you’re lucky enough to have stumbled upon this page, so don’t let the opportunity go to waste. Buy it already.

Imprisoned Hyperion

Imprisoned Hyperion

Story

Inside the Imprisoned Hyperion, you will find yourself in a dark and mysterious dungeon after the end of the world. Now life on the surface is no longer possible and people have gone beneath the ground. But it didn’t go as planned… People had to start a war with the underground inhabitants. People lose it and are gonna die eventually. Though you are not their savior and not a hero. Because you have your own more important goal in this world, and most of its inhabitants will never understand you. No matter what comes next, but you will achieve your aim.

Features

In the dark dungeons of Hyperion, there are many dangerous creatures that will drain your powers. Steel and spells are a good helper, but there are no magic potions that will restore your powers. So, act wisely, look for food and safe places to recover.

Play your way

There are different ways to succeed. Poison the food in the kitchen to avoid battle or kill the mage who gave you the task to get your reward without completing the task. Your adventure has a specific goal and no matter how you will achieve it. Use your wits and ability to improvise..

Wildfire

Wildfire

I’ll try to be as concise as possible, but I’m a long winded individual so…here goes!

First of all, I absolutely love this game. The art style, animation, gameplay, replay, and humor is just amazing. This is probably my favorite game this year and I think the first game I’ve gotten all the achievements on in a long time. It’s got it’s fair share of flaws, but nothing that completely breaks the enjoyment of the game.

Pros:

Graphically, the game is beautiful. Big fan of pixel art, the animation is key in pixel art. With very few pixels to represent a character or world, the only thing that separates the generic pixel art and a living world is animation and this game has it.

I played the demo and that was pretty fun, it kinda sold me on wanting to get the full version ASAP…even though I was already pretty set on wanting to get it since it’s initial announcements because of its various innovations with the elemental mechanics.

As much as I enjoyed the demo though, it was a fairly condensed experience designed to give you a small taste of each of the elements that you get to work with throughout the game and only lasts a couple of hours. At the time of me writing this review, with the full version of the game (which I found heavily discounted ~ what a lovely surprise that was) I’m at just under 40 hours and about to start level 21 (Mountains 6). I’m not sure how many levels there are overall (I could look it up I’m not one to spoil these types of details for myself lol), but when looking at the game map I’m in the upper right section…about to leave the mountains, so I still have quite a bit to go it seems, which is awesome.

Welcome to the enchanted lands where magic is real and flourishing! Build your very own magical academy from the ground, hire the best and the worst teachers that the magical world has to offer. Manage disasters and celebrate your victories in this brand new enchanting tycoon game!

Build your school

Create the magic school of your dreams! Use money and resources to create new rooms and hire staff, but be wary of trouble and irresponsible adults ruining your establishment. Solve the oddest mysteries and help your students achieve their best (or at least a pass) at school!

Build rooms and customise them to your heart’s content with just a few clicks in our creation tool! There are over 10 types of classrooms there to be created, but watch out for overcrowded classes and teachers lacking the skill to tame a hoard of students!

Do not worry! Every teacher and student will learn in due time! You can also pause your game and just hire a new banch of less incompetent ones! Or speed up the game and manage incoming disasters on the go! You (literally!) have all the time in this world!

Hire the staff

There is a big variety of teachers you can hire in your brand new school. Their abilities, skills and teaching power will determine the fate of their students and the amount of… misadventures they might have during the class. But not to worry, with every lesson they learn something on their own and they come closer and closer to becoming the best teacher!

Not only the teachers are vital to life in the academy, you need crystal engineers who will manage and fix your power sources. There are also janitors who will take care of the mess after a failed alchemy lesson or a ghost roaming the school.

Your trusty staff will take care of the most unusual occurrences that may happen in your school and celebrate graduations of your students with the proper fanfare!

Meet your students

Your students are not only the source of your pride, but also your income! The more students the more money, but can you manage that hoard of teenagers?

Every student has a different set of skills and dreams, so having a lot of classes will let them flourish! Your best students will become your pride and joy (and also a great source of school’s prestige)!

Let them study day and night, but do not forget to build dormitories so they can also have some rest, and enjoy watching their first attempts at wizardry!

Students are divided into classes by colour so it is easy to recognise where is which class and how are the students by the neatness of their uniforms.

Let the magic guide you!

I’m not going to lie, this is a very cute and casual game - some thought goes into preparing the potions and there are goals on a daily basis. Some of which has somewhat of a story, which is a great addition to a management game. I have yet to finish the game, so the price is definitely worth the time you spend in it. For now, my review of this game is a thumbs up - but will edit with further information when I either finish or get to a point in the game that completes all the achievements :)

Currently I have found no bugs, but the game could use with a little more polish, and perhaps a little more gameplay. I’d love to see if this product continues on and, if so, where it might lead.

If possible, I’m not rating this either recommended or not recommended. If I can’t do that, I will give it a No recommendation, but it’s a near thing.

This is almost, but not quite, a really cool game.

Pros:

  • The game is cute, and runs smooth. Graphics all go together/look good.

  • I didn’t see a lot of bugs (I may have seen one, but it could have been user error on my part).

  • It didn’t take a lot of time to understand how the game worked, and the tutorial gave you just about everything you needed to know to get going and figure the rest out yourself.

Pixie Farm VR / ピクシーファームVR

Pixie Farm VR / ピクシーファームVR

Pixie Farm VR is a pixie raising simulation VR game where you raise only pixies in a world that seems to have dragons and phoenixes!

●Training

You can train your pixie by choosing your favorite training each month.

The ability to improve varies depending on the map and training, and the failure rate also changes depending on your motivation.

It’s up to you whether you want to be a weak pixie or a strong pixie, aim to be the strongest pixie breeder!

●Events

Events will occur in between training sessions, and your pixie’s abilities may change.

There are also times when a suspicious doctor appears who recommends a surgery that seems to be almost unsuccessful……?

●Training

You can also send pixies to training to learn techniques.

Sometimes a stray pixie will show up and challenge you to a battle!

●Competitions

You can also send the pixies you’ve raised to tournaments for them to fight in.

If you win a particular tournament, your rank will increase, and as your rank rises, you can challenge for higher tournaments and raise stronger pixies.

●Soul

Unfortunately, pixies have a life span and must be separated at some point.

There is no such thing as a freezer in this world, but the soul of a deceased pixie will remain forever.

And there are rumors that those souls will help raise the next generation of pixies……?
