Double Kick Heroes

Double Kick Heroes

Intro

There have been so many rhythm games over the years varying in overall idea: dancing to music in time, playing plastic guitars in time, pressing keyboard buttons in time, and even racing to music in time. Double Kick Heroes may not seem any different from these other games but it is in one small and simple detail: you aren’t just keeping in time. Being solely based off of the drum beats and patterns, the game focuses on the overall groove of each song rather than just watching the screen and reacting to visual cues. Through my first playthrough of the story mode, I played it like I would any other rhythm game and relied on the visuals to guide me through the songs. The difficulty immediately ramps early in the story however (which i’ll talk about soon) and i found that it was difficult to complete songs, ultimately failing a lot. After practising a little more, I started to get into the groove and into the mindset of a drummer and found it 10x easier to complete every song and ultimately more enjoyable than any other rhythm game.

I’ve tried and bought the game at Stunfest a few days ago. It’s a great game, I definely recommend it !

The songs are really nice and the graphics are pleasant too.

I’m not very familiar rythm games so I had a hard time on some levels (T-Rex for example) but I still managed to beat the game in Metal difficulty. There are currently no level with 3 tracks in that difficulty and you figure out quickly that the second track is optional (the main combo does not reset when you miss the cymbals) so I sometimes just ignored that second track to be a bit more focused on the main one (especially on the tank boss).

Pretty scary and fun little game! I like how the monsters look and the sounds they make! I also like the idea of this game. I do wish there was a checkpoint system after every door so players don’t get frustrated after almost beating it and having to restart. Also when you get chased by a monster, after a while the sound cuts off so you don’t know if they stopped following you or not. Other than that I think this game is really good for what you pay and all the scares it brought with it. Thank you

Undead Can Dance

Undead Can Dance

Undead Can Dance is a dancing battle game in virtual reality where you compete against other sorcerers in taking control of the dead through rhythm, power and accuracy. Once an undead is in your possession, it will start dancing for you, sweating and jostling on the dancefloor while boosting your score. You can’t dance? Just pretend! It’s light-hearted yet intense and fun.

ONLINE BATTLES

Undead can Dance is built from the ground up to offer a tailored, solid and fun multiplayer experience along with a single-player mode. Never dance alone again.

EASY BEATMAPS MAKER

The game ships with music, but it also works flawlessly with your own mp3. Adjust a couple of settings in the notes Detector, tweak the dancing style in the Choreographer, and you are ready to go. Easy but powerful.

Viral Cry

Interested to see where this one goes, but as of now, doesn’t have a whole lot of content to warrant the price tag, somewhat expected from early access.

Enemies spawn infinitely and chase you down at max speed, occasionally getting caught on obstacles, and even more rarely, spawning out of bounds. No distinction between enemies besides visually as of now, nor are there bosses or anything else.

The music used in the game was pretty decent, even though I’m not huge on electronic music, but it was ok, didn’t stick out to me as anything that I’d listen to repeatedly. There was a glitch where the music would cut out, the other sound effects, which there aren’t many of, would still play, but the music would come back when it felt like it, pretty much.

Early Access.. aka the Steam dumping grounds. Where developers little darlings get dropped off and forgotten about then hushed up and never spoken of again.

I would never have noticed the shooting in time to the rhythm thing if it hadn’t been pointed out below. The problem is while it’s a neat idea on paper it’s ridiculously silly in practice because your gun stops shooting when the beat of the song changes and then you’re left SOL and looking like a right pranny.

Movement is far too floaty with too much inertia and combat is tedious as endless waves of bland generic icons block you in due to the rhythm shooty thing and when you can deploy turrets. I’ll never get to unlock another weapon as it’ll just take too long and there’s fun to be had while doing it.

Deca is an interesting new survival-horror game, that seems to be greatly inspired by games the likes of Outlast and Silent Hill. Deca’s story revolves around a poor soul who got trapped in an old haunted mental asylum.



While trying to escape, you are confronted by all sorts of horror and challenges. In the heat of all this, you will also have to puzzle together the mystery of this haunted mental asylum and its inhabitants.

This one really surprised me! It's a solid horror game with a lot going for it.

Imagine Outlast on a limited budget and you might know what you're in for.

You'll be avoiding a selection of dangerous enemies whilst navigating various environments, solving puzzles and collecting items. Some of the enemies and sections are genuinely frightening, even for an experienced horror fan. It'll last you around 5 hours as well, so great value for the money.
