Phantom 3D

Phantom 3D

Phantom 3D is a spiritual successor to early maze based 3D games of the 80’s such as 3D Monster Maze or Maze War. Like those games it has a pretty simple gameplay loop in which you must collect treasure and find a key and exit to get out of the maze, however there is a timer counting down that once it reaches the end a phantom will enter the map and head directly for the the player. You can get scrolls that will increase your time limit and can be used to push the phantom away once he spawns on map. If the phantom catches the player he takes your soul and you get a game over.

For a game that’s a couple of bucks. This is not too bad. Sure, the level editor is very limited and you can complete the campaign in under a hour or less. You can easily dodge The Phantom if you just go around him when he gets close. This is like the only horror game where you can customize your surroundings. In other games, the developers just either make you have to code your own or they aren’t targeting horror audiences. So, since this is the only game like that out there, It’s definitely something to buy if you can’t code or are looking for a time killer with just barely any replayability, which stinks but I guess no game can last forever

The Fall of the Dungeon Guardians - Enhanced Edition

The Fall of the Dungeon Guardians - Enhanced Edition

TL;DR for the Gamers:

If you enjoy a good dungeon crawler and games like Wizardry and Dungeon Master (or more recent titles inspired by these classics), but tire of the classic square-dance mechanics of most modern entries into this genre, then you could easily fall in love with the Fall of the Dungeon Guardians. This game mixes the feel of real-time combat with turn-based strategy through skill queues and a unique pause/play system. It features an optional slider to customize the battle speed (if you would rather handle party actions in real-time) and in-game pause with a menu full of auto-pause options reminiscent of games like Baldur’s Gate, Icewind Dale, and Pillars of Eternity (for those of you who like to crank up the difficulty and sit back to think). With a variety of races, classes with their own sets of specializations, and the ability to create hybrid specializations, party creation and customization is definitely available here. Mix these features with auto-attacks, cooldown skills, and a solid threat management system, and you get a highly addictive dungeon crawler that plays like nothing I have ever experienced before. And, with a variety of difficulty settings covering the spectrum from casual adventurer to die-hard tactician, there is a comfort zone for anyone.

The vast majority of people on this planet don’t know, and will never know, the beauty of it. Every time I play one, I feel I belong to a secret society. Is it all nostalgia? The countless days, nights and weeks playing FTL’s Dungeon Master back in the late 80’s on my Atari ST? Or is it simply a matter of taste, this genre rubbing me the right way? I’m not sure, but I will do my best to analyse my thoughts about this game, The Fall of the Dungeon Guardians (TFotDG), created by French indie developer Mana Games.

Masked Forces 2: Mystic Demons

Was gifted the masked forces and masked shooters games, and was intrigued to play this game when I noticed that it was on sale. feel like it was worth the money I paid for it. Honestly not bad, a big improvement on the other masked forces games. Would recommend.

This game is so fucking good that no other game has ever, or will ever beat it. I got this game for christmas from a friend of mine, and let me tell you it has gotten me addicted. I have played this game for 16 hours a day for the past months. It has gotten to the point where I had to stop going to school because the game is just so fucking good. It features spooky, scary skeletons that you can shoot in the face and even bosses which can drop legendary loot. Advanced AI and a truly heart-touching storyline. You really want to play this game. The end made me cry everytime I played it. It features loads of epic quests from simple favours, to killing the legendary bonedragon which is so hard legends say that only the veteran mystic forces players can kill it. If you thought following the damn train was hard, you haven’t played this game. From a techinical point of view, the overall realisticness of the game will rape your GPU, for example when the bonedragon breathes fire it will actually set fire to your GPU, so having a watercooled pc is reccomended for playing this game. Finally from a business point of view, this game is the best the market has ever seen, my friend who is an expert in marketing says developers like bethesda, ubisoft, EA, activision… etc (basically all AAA games) will go bankrupt because no one will play their new game. He also says that this game will revolutionize gaming, this game brought the developer so much money that he alone could pay off USA’s debt. And furthermore it increased USA’s GDP by about 192 827%. They really hit the bullseye with the masked forces franchise. Looking forward to see this game hitting the esports scene when multiplayer launches! FreezNova really outdid themselves with this AAAA+ title.

Clever use of mouse and keyboard. Being able to rotate the platforms opens up interesting solutions. Your platforming still needs to be on par though to make it through all the puzzles. Personally I liked the minimalist 8-bit look of the levels.

Nice puzzle platformer.

Played from start to finish and I’m satisfied with the challenge (not too easy nor too hard) and the overall presentation is coherent with the price, so I would say it has a very good value.
