Angelwood

Have you ever felt like living through the 2019-2020 school year?

I sure hope you haven’t. But now you can simulate living through it! The school year starts off unsuspectingly enough, but you very quickly realize that the town’s mafia is controlling people through an unseen world. As Sophomore John Smith, it’s your job to infiltrate the mafia’s bases with your friends and take down the evil lurking in broad daylight.

There’s a story to be told

You’re not going to be facing the same cut and dry school year like you used to. Taking down the 21st century mafia isn’t an easy task for a Sophomore, after all. Don’t like reading? Some scenes are voice acted!

Action based combat

Live in the moment! Fight your way through the mafia’s ranks with real time combat. From sword fighters to gun slingers to robotic mech users and more, your friends have your back throughout the whole journey.

The mafia isn’t the only threat you’re facing!

If you enjoy living, you better hit the books! As a student, you have to keep up with your school life, social life, AND mafia life. If you thought the mafia was scary, just wait and see what happens when you don’t do your homework! Most importantly, you need to be there for your friends.

Work on yourself outside of battle

Fighting enemies isn’t the only way to become stronger in this game. You can take a well-deserved break from combat by playing some computer games to make more equipment to use in battle. There’s even a skill tree you can customize! Or perhaps you’d wish to train with your allies directly…?

New Game Plus!

Tactical Squad: SWAT Stories

Tactical Squad: SWAT Stories

Take on the commanding role for an advanced special weapons and tactics team. Tactical Squad: SWAT Stories places great focus on realism, drawing not only from the rich history of tactical games, but also real-life situations where deployment of similar units was necessary. Your squad members communicate with each other, respond to situations, and combat hostiles. Make sure you issue the correct orders but be aware that you’ll be in the middle of the action performing many tasks yourself!

As a highly-trained operator and member of a key tactical unit, you and your people will be sent on a number of highly dangerous missions. As active participants of these operations, you and your agents will also see some intricate events unfold in front of your very eyes. Become the witness of conspiracies, criminal activities, and some very dangerous games. Your real enemies may just be where you least expect them…

There is of course no chance of clearing objectives without the right resources, both in terms of people and equipment. Make sure your squad consists of the right specialists, depending on what you’re looking to accomplish:

– scouts

– assault troops

– riot controllers

– technicians

– snipers

But where would they be without their highly specialized equipment? Have your SWAT officers gear up using top-quality items, with three different categories distinguished among them:

Weapons:

– semi-automatic pistols

– submachine guns

– automatic rifles

– shotguns

– as well as an array of non-lethal measures

Apparel:

– combat uniforms

– Kevlar vests

– riot shields

– helmets

– comm units

Accessories:

– grenades

– high explosives

– first-aid

– drones

– hacking devices

– and other useful electronic gadgets

Every situation you and your squad end up in requires careful assessment if you want to bring everyone back to headquarters in one piece. Pay attention to the briefing and study whatever intel you get before you set out to complete the mission. Tactical Squad is set in a number of different settings, from offices to industrial compounds to even a sprawling old mansion. It is up to you to know the paths for your team to take, the available cover and the potential hazards in the form of armed hostiles and innocent bystanders. Always be aware of your surroundings or suffer the consequences.

Always know what you’re doing, but more importantly – know why you’re doing it. The game features missions with a number of different objectives:

– eliminating bloodthirsty terrorists,

– capturing ruthless criminals,

– rescuing vulnerable hostages,

– recovering valuable intel,

– clearing key locations of hostiles.

Use your tactical wit to the best of your abilities. Don’t leave anything up to chance by using a special system of order queuing to ensure a smooth sequence of actions among your units. Embark on missions as a solo operative or with the assistance of your friends in co-op mode.

Keep your head down and keep it clear but press on and complete that mission. A good strategy is the key to succeeding in Tactical Squad.

Abandon Ship

Abandon Ship

Version 0.5.something…

It’s… Okay.

A lot of it is very comfortable fun. You find yourself a combat, you watch your little micro managed crew and you snot your enemy. It’s fun in a non challenging sense. You buy 6 crew as quickly as possible, keep them alive with a bit of micro management and use the play style that amuses you most at the time. Simple really. Learning curve is a bit steep at the start but flattens out after a few combats.

The rest of the game at this stage of it’s release? Yeah…

So the first major update hit, Treasures of the Deep, it wasn’t as big of a shift as compared to pre-release builds versus the first EA build. The update itself is not an expansion per say, but more of a refinement to what we already had, aside the two new mechanics that count, you could say that there are more, but it boils down to just two major ones(more on that later).

Here’s the run down of the refinement from when I last edited the review:

-Improved fps on not so amazing computers

-Plenty of bug fixes

Siege of Centauri

Siege of Centauri

Siege of Centauri is one of the best looking tower defence games available and as a tower defence aficionado, I would say it is worth playing.

Forgive the comparison, but Siege of Centauri was clearly made by and for people who are looking to scratch their Defense Grid itch. It turns out that Siege of Centauri has some fairly obvious references in it that pay homage to Defense Grid, namely the interface looks almost like it was lifted from Defense Grid and some of the music too. It also has a similar story with advisers popping up between missions to brief you on what the mysterious enemy is up to.

I don’t play many tower defense games. It’s essentially a puzzle, where you try to figure out the most efficient combinations of towers and placements to defend your base. There are features that let you see what is coming, and once you learn the units and iconography, you can definitely develop strategies and plans ahead of time. There are terrific controls for difficulty, as well as mechanics that let you customize and upgrade your available tower selection. I also see capabilities for a survival mode (defend as long as you can) and custom map development. I think there might also be an intent to support steam workshop, so that mods and custom maps can be shared.

Tower of Time

Tower of Time

Tower of Time

Tower of Time is a squad-based dungeon crawler with predetermined character types whose attributes and skills can be leveled up occasionally and who fight in battles that require strategic and tactical thinking.

TL;DR

Though I felt the game got off to a slow and perhaps not so interesting start, after aquiring a few companions and getting down to level 5 it grabbed my interest and continued doing so as I progressed. I ended up enjoying the game quite a bit. This is one of those games that you need to get into a ways before you really start grooving on it. The fact that I bothered to write such a long review shows how much I liked this game, even with some stuff that bugged me.

In short:

AMAZING 50+ hours RPG with gorgeous graphics, an enticing story, tactical battles, balanced gameplay and original mechanics!

Summary

  • Very smooth gameplay, with gorgeous graphics and scenery and non-claustrophobic dungeons

  • Unintrusive interface, with sophisticated RPG mechanics

  • Original take on RPG mechanics, specially regarding the battles

  • The battles feel very tactical, due to the slow time feature. It is not turn-based, but it feels like XCOM, and has a lot of variation like diverse objectives and scenarios.

Deadhold

Deadhold

tl;dr if you like Myth, you’ll love this game (even in its Early Access incarnation)

It’s been a long time… since I was so excited for a game! Yes, it is quite a bit like the Myth I and Myth II games (and that’s a good thing) but Deadhold is its own animal. Deadhold adds some finely tuned 3-D goodness, ’splodey physics, a healthy portion of 21st C thinking/game play along with some new ideas about how spells and items could enhance different gaming styles. The single solo map is short but showcases some of the game’s potential. For me the real fun lies in modes like coop Horde or multiplayer FFA or team play. MP is fast and frenetic, the strategies enlivened by skillful use of spells and a very limited amount of healing (1 dose). Get on with a couple buddies - or grab a few players from the MP lobbies - and enjoy blasting the undead or each other to bits, lots and lots of gory gibs and bits.

One of the biggest fans of Myth. I spent years of my life playing it. I’ve played thousands of single-player games and this is the only multiplayer game I enjoy. There is no better multiplayer game. It’s also pretty much impossible to ever make this for consoles so don’t wait for a port. I play 99% of my games on a console but this one can only work on PC due to the many buttons and fast clicks needed to move the camera and select and move units.

Deadhold revives Myth and any fan should enjoy it. It adds a few new things and some changes, like health potions instead of Journeymen. New stuff is dropped items and spells you can use, including a Resurrect option for dead units. But most of it is the same Myth you knew and loved. If you never played Myth I have no idea how to recommend or explain this game to you. It’s like an RTS but with no buildings or unit-making or resources. You choose your units at the beginning of the match and then micromanage till the end. That’s what makes the multiplayer so fun is that you can work as a team with different units, or micromanage against others. Combine that with the physics/gibs and you can never not have a good time. Right now, on day one of Early Access, this is already a solid “good”. It has the potential to be the greatest game ever made. We’ll see. gla

Fun little game. i like how it is based off the book. would like more levels and more control over the blocks or a way to generate more res. and more trap options. perhaps target settings on the creatures. as i said a good little game took me about 5 hours to clear the story and start to clear the hardmode.

The Mirror’s End

The Mirror’s End

What kind of game are we talking about?

The Mirror’s End is a top-down perspective adventure game with action elements, a sophisticated low-poly look and feel, and tons of retro gaming influences. Last but not least, exploration of the world(s) and a very fun crafting system are at the base of The Mirror’s End gameplay.

What about multiplayer?

Although we don’t exclude the possibility of implementing a multiplayer game mode in the future, The Mirror’s End will be initially released as single-player only.

What is the current state of the development for The Mirror’s End?

We have just completed the development of the first demo (read it: Vertical Split). The gameplay and the code base are now under a complete refactoring.

We have confirmed other game aspects like the (not-so)-lowpoly aesthetic and an intriguing story we can’t wait to tell you.

What platforms will you support?

At the moment we’re targeting a Windows-only release but we do not exclude portings to other platforms in the future.

Are you planning any crowdfunding campaign?

Not at the moment, but who knows…
