Color by Number - Pixel Draw

This has been a blast playing, like paint by numbers when I was a kid. And with the DLC’s they go from very simple to more complicated with much detail.

So since the dev has fixed the executable file, I’m going to re-review this.

Pixel Draw is an okay game. It’s not good, but it suffers from various flaws that make it’s competitor the much better product. Many of these flaws come from the UI, which in my original review said was clunky and had no reason to be as large as it should be. I stand by that. It’s obtrusive and gives you less screen to work with.

The only thing worse than the UI is the lack of tools. There is no erase function, so should you accidentally misclick, you’re stuck with that color on the screen. Which leads to another problem - obstruction. Sometimes the misclicked colors can make it hard to identify which block is lit up with the color you’ve chosen. (Especially when you are zoomed out.)

Dungeon Throne

Dungeon Throne

TL;DR This game is a mix of Noita and Rogue Legacy, very fun if you’re on a budget :)

I feel like I got off on the wrong foot with this game. Originally, the game didn’t work at all for me which led me to leaving a negative review (Initial Review can be found below) and also refunding the game. The developer then got back to me within a few hours of my review telling me that he had updated the game.

All excited I decided to purchase the game again and give it a second try. All the issues I had previously mentioned, were gone. I played a couple of games and had a lot of fun. The enemies were neat, the room layouts looked fairly unique and the particle effects were really good. I played a total of 5 runs (Including the tutorial).

Fantasy of Eden

Fantasy of Eden

When it comes to games, there’s a time and a place for everything. My favorite JRPGs have systems that are so complex you could get lost in them, and I like them better for it. But man, sometimes I’m in the mood for something real simple, something bare-bones that doesn’t require intense focus or a huge time commitment. “Something like Final Fantasy 1,” you say? No, think simpler. Think Fantasy of Eden.

Fantasy of Eden, a game so obscure that I can’t find any videos of it that aren’t on the dev’s YT channel, probably won’t take you more than a couple hours to play through. The plot boils down to “there is an evil guy somewhere, go beat him up.” None of your party members have any personality or backstory beyond “he’s a fighter, she’s a healer, he’s a mage.” And yet I found myself enjoying FoE more than I thought I would because it’s an easy-breezy RPG. You’ve got your standard RPG tropes – traversing dungeons with a boss at the end, getting a ship that lets you explore the whole world, finding a secret village hidden in the forest – but it’s all shrunk down and condensed to something that you can fully experience in a single afternoon.

I’m actually a little bit surprised here. I was looking for something cheap and fun to play. I usually avoid the RPG Maker clones, but the other review on here got me to give the thing a shot.

On the surface, it feels like a cheap, poorly translated RPG Maker game, but when you tear into it, it’s surprisingly deep and well balanced. The controls feel a bit unintuitive, but once you get them down they aren’t bad. Altogether, I would recommend this game to anyone looking for a classic JRPG experience replete with all the things that make that great.

Insect Adventure

Insect Adventure

Insect Adventure 8/10 Stars (Steam Only ATM)

This is a Metroid-style MV, even though at first glance, I assumed it would be closer to an HK-style MV considering the bug theme (which they poke fun at in the game). Most of the familiar themes from Super Metroid are all here, although the Dev does have a few tricks up his sleeve. In fact, once I started playing it, I thought this was going to practically be a straight-up reskin like an AM2R type game with bug skin. Luckily I was wrong.

We get the usual mobility upgrades (Relics), consumables (which can be purchased or mined), and upgrades for our health & strength. Plus, some stuff not found in Super Metroid.

Pretty good little Metroidvania, took me about 4-5 hours for the first ~75% run. It’s indy af, hitboxes are jank, you can stuck in the floor, it borrows a lot of ideas from more polished and popular games, but it feels like it’s own thing and really fun to play. There is a lot of power ups, options for travel and secrets, exploring the world really feels rewarding.

And there is also a second character and 4 difficulty modes.

Give this game a chance, it’s a must for MV fans.

I’ve got all of the Expansion Packs with the game. It was a great deal on Steam with the bundle. I really enjoy working on these puzzles. It’s stress relief and really neat on seeing the finished project each time. It’s a casual game and you don’t have to worry about time. Just enjoy and that’s it.

7 OVERALL RATING

The gameplay itself is very addictive and enjoyable, with a fair amount of challenge (at least playing without assisted mode). As I did not try assisted mode, I cannot speak on the level of fun in that mode.

The game clearly draws a lot of inspiration from disparate fantasy properties. It also draws inspiration for gameplay from Dark Souls type games, emphasizing attack patterns and usage of various weapon abilities to surpass each challenge. The game is very fair, once you use your brain to figure out what is the optimal way to tackle an area. Good reflexes and skill with a controller certainly help as well.

WHAT IS IT?

It’s a bullet hell game. Thematic element is fantasy and a bit of sci-fi.

PROS:

1. Fast paced action.

2. Good soundtrack.

CONS:

1. Terrible story/plot.

2. Frustrating levels (ie. not fun).

3. Controls don’t feel fluid compared to using a mouse and keyboard.

4. Diverse item pool but largely useless as you’ll be using just 3 or 4 of them most of the game out of the 30 or so.

CONCLUSION:

I’m usually not a fan of bullet hell games (ie. games that just shoot a bunch of stuff at you filling your screen with orbs/missiles/fireballs/etc.). I gave this one a bit of a try as it came with a Humble Bundle and it just made me hate the genre even more. Don’t get me wrong, I grinded through the game and finished it on the hardest difficulty so I’ve experienced most of what this game has to offer. And it doesn’t really offer much… a plot that doesn’t pull you in, unnecessary item selection for the sake of having items, a large “variety” of enemies that mostly have the same strategies to defeat, and just some overall frustrating levels due to certain enemy types. The game does include an endgame mode which seems more fun than the story mode. The endgame mode throws you in a large arena where you’ll fight waves upon waves of enemies while starting off with only your basic items. As you defeat more waves, you gain more money to purchase better items. This mode doesn’t need to hide behind a weak plot in the main game, I would have liked it to be the main game itself and just scrap the story mode.

By Any Means Necessary

By Any Means Necessary

All in all a very good game, especially for its price.

You basically play a big campaign within a world that seems to be far bigger than what you see. And even if there aren‘t a lot of areas, there‘s much to see and you are getting rewarded for exploring.

You play 6 different characters, which you can interchange within battle. Every characters has a unique set of skills, while there‘s still room for customization by using scrolls, that give them additional skills or attributes. You find the scrolls by exploring or doing side-quests.

Warp Soldier

Warp Soldier

In a retro, monochrome fantasy landscape, the white sage Jericho has employed you to stop the local warlock from reviving an ancient evil. Is it up to you, the Warp Soldier, to put an end to his dark ritual. With your vast movepool, unadulterated ferocity, a few movement gimmicks, and tiny peglegs, do you have what it takes to end the warlock’s army before they put an end to you?

EXPLORE A VAST, RETRO, INTERCONNECTED WORLD

While the land lacks in color, the world the Warp Soldier must trek features several ecosystems, all authentically scored with the chippiest of tunes. Backtracking is rewarded but seldom feels like a chore with the powers the player will come across.

A MURDEROUS, ENCAPTIVATING CAST

Not only is the cast of cannon fodder charming and varied, but many of the bigger baddies you come across will have character arcs of their own. Whether the warlock’s headliner henchmen become your bitter rivals or eventual allies will depend on how you express yourself during combat. If tasteful violence versus fierce foes isn’t your forte, there are some NPCs scattered about who may be able to help you with a sidequest or two.

COMBO CANVAS - SHOUNEN STYLE

While your sword and swift kicks are already devastating on their own, your ability to teleport next to foes you’ve tagged with warp-strikes lets you extend your melee combos and air-juggles like only an anime protagonist can!
