Entropic Decay

Entropic Decay

“The definition of entropic is having a tendency to change from a state of order..to a state of disorder…"

Entropic Decay is a lovingly crafted linear first person shooter driven by narrative, puzzles, combat arenas, and horror sequences. It takes inspiration from Valve’s games, with its use of environmental story telling and pacing between enemy encounters, striking a balance between combat and atmosphere. Think the atmosphere of a slow-burn horror inspired walking simulator fused with movement and combat options of a shooter…

Some time in the future, a signal is detected carrying a small meteor. The signal is tracked, and the crash site investigated on impact. A mineral is found. Astrobioligist’s are amazed to find a living pathogen inside the mineral. The pathogen is extracted and experimented on, the findings indicate agressive cell growth when in contact with other organisms….dead or alive. Rapid cell mutation causes a rabies like disease. Anything infected with the pathogen becomes a hive-minded aggressor to everything not infected like itself. The pathogen spreads and envelopes the world. Turning civilisation into an overgrown, decaying husk of a contorted take on the nature we know. The decay and despair is juxtaposed with beauty, as plant life flourishes due to the pathogens effect on cell growth, and everything man made returns to nature, but rises again with a twisted skew. The last bastion of humanity are elitist’s, deploying the military to kill anyone on sight who aren’t in uniform. Military death squads roam in packs, taking orders for food and protection from the pathogen, while trading their humanity.

You awaken in a facility, fumbling for hazy memories of before the place you find yourself in. Journey through a world foreign to all but the mutated, and find a place free from decay and entropy at any cost…

Cunning, reactive A.I - The soldiers in Entropic Decay don’t mess around. They react to grenades, can hear you, take cover, flee, and throw their own grenades. The mutated work in packs, can hear you running and will roam the area you were last seen. The military will shoot the mutated on sight, but taking them down is no easy task, even for the well trained.

A variety of mutated to fight against - Currently there are over ten different mutated to contend with. Ranging from agile spider mutants and dogs, to hulking tanks weilding lead pipes.

Puzzles to break up combat sequences - Puzzles and narrative pieces are used to keep the player engaged to avoid simply being one type of genre and keep things fresh and dynamic.

Physics interaction - Interact with the world with physics puzzles, and deceive enemies by throwing objects or craft a devious trap by arranging explosives in your environment to detonate on an unsuspecting foe.

Stealth, A.I and how they interact - Distract your foes by throwing an object or bring them closer to setup an ambush with a whistle, or simply sneak by and avoid combat all together. Use your wits and the environment and the A.I will respond allowing emergent gameplay and tactical options.

Narrative driven gameplay - The story will be told through the environment with the player merely an observer of things outside it’s control. Find notes, audio logs, and data entries to piece together the collapse of society and the scientific ambition that caused it.

Serious Sam… with a weird girl following you around

Pros: Good graphics

Gun modifications

Open World

The bullet-time is pretty dope

Some RPG elements

Cons: The RPG elements (skills, leveling, etc.) can be a lot better

Mindless waves of enemies spawning all around you

Needs more guns (like a sniper, shotgun, hand cannon, etc.)

Enemies have aim-bot like a mofo

The building mechanic needs work, as it’s unwieldy

Is it the best game ever? No… but is Serious Sam the best game ever? No, it’s not either. I’d really just compare this game to being a slightly worse Serious Sam… so for the price, it’s good if you’re looking for a game similar to Serious Sam.

41hrs Review

Its hard to give a review for this game as i did receive it for free via gift purchase from my brother and also this a game made by a small team and by what i can see and feel when playing the game they did not have a AAA budget.

So i finished the game on the pro skill level took me just over 7hrs to finish but keep in mind i have played tons of first person shooters and tend to finish games quite quick. I liked the game it has some frustrating moments which i will get too but overall its quite decent and for $20 bucks aussie dollars its not bad value.

Saturated Outer Space

Saturated Outer Space

_“The future has a habit to unpleasantly surprise everyone who makes plans for it.”

  • Alastair Reynolds “Redemption Ark”_

Whenever a threat emerges in outer space, a squad is coming to the rescue.

You are the Commander of a squad working for the S.O.S. Your primary task is to rescue civilians across the galaxy and to eliminate all emerging threats, ranging from raiders and ruffians to unidentified forms of being never encountered before. It’s up to you to go for a stealth run or to turn things into a bloodbath. But there’s yet another decision to take, the crucial one: when you finally make it to the civilians, you won’t be able to help everyone.

Choose who will live and who will be left abandoned - build yourself a name and get the privileges of a revered rescuer or make a fortune by saving those who pay and enjoy the power that money can give.

No matter what you choose, remember: SPACE NEEDS YOU!

Features:

  • Experience a captivating storyline inspired by sci-fi classics

  • Sneak past your enemies or kill them all in a tactical turn-based combat

  • Team up with various allies to make the most of their distinctive traits

  • Build your own strategies to make it through boss fights

  • Protect civilians, keep them safe and escort them to EVAC-zones

  • Your decisions matter - it’s up to you to decide who is to be rescued or left behind

  • Complete the story in your own way - 3 different endings based on your choices and playstyle along with an extra one

Definitely recommend this game if you like puzzle adventures, and the price is well worth it at this time. The graphics are good and it runs well ( I am using Vive Pro wireless with Vive controllers) now that the devs have applied some quick hot fixes….this dev team is the most responsive of all game devs that I have seen on Steam ( and I have been a Steam/Valve member since 1999)….shows you how much they care about making this game great.

No real complaints as it is a lot of fun….and the puzzles are challenging but not extremely difficult. The atmosphere is generally dark and the immersion is good. Audio/sounds are well done to match the content.

Anderson is a very fun puzzle game. Even though its still in early access, it has a lot of potential! I noticed a few bugs and other issues during game play, and the developers were very receptive to the reports and suggestions.

If you like puzzle games, especially in VR, this is one title to get and solve!
