Razerwire:Nanowars

Razerwire:Nanowars

Razerwire: Nanowars is a retro (80’s) action-arcade game that progression addicts are certain to love. The game reminds me of the games that I would play for countless hours as a child. It is the result of a lunchtime, 30-minute a day, project developed by a dev who works on much larger projects. That makes this a bit of a passion project that has been programmed with love…. and that love shines through.

A Genuinely Pro-Gamer Developer

When Razerwire: Nanowars went on sale the developer posted the deal to Reddit’s r/Gamedeals and disclosed that the game was a part of an OtakuMaker bundle just as they went bankrupt. Unfortunately, he did not receive the ten thousand keys that he submitted back nor did he ever get paid for them. Other developers from the bundle who also never got paid had the keys revoked. However, knowing that legitimate purchases were made before the bundle was pulled, decided against revoking the keys. This resulted in a loss of hundreds of dollars from the loss of keys nor did he receive payment from OtakuMaker from the legitimate buyers.

This one caught me by surprise.

I got it as a title in a trade, but it seems like it might be bundle filler also, because I have a ton of extra keys for it. Know what, though? It is totally worth the price of the game in full. If I had known how much fun I was going to have with this, I would’ve bought it.

I went into this blind.

If you can’t tell by looking at my account, I have a ton of games. Most of my indie game choices are random. I see something, install it, and see how I feel about it. I’m very pleasantly surprised!

snake game go brrr, this is the first game in a while that i played for 7 hours straight. i would say this game is insanely under priced but i’m not complaining, each time you beat the game you unlock new difficulties and can make your snake a unit longer. i love the many different classes and units you can pick, things such as aoe or projectile attacks, or other things like the merchant which gives you interest on money and other stat booster and abilities you can get from beating elite enemies. buy this game. now.

Awesome crazy game!

No-bullsht frantic arena shooter with randomized upgrades and unlockable weapons. Cool visual style and fluid shooting and traversing mechanics. Good quality overall.

It’s a rely good game and it deserves more exposure, lots of fun in it’s current state, but has potential to be extended with more mid/long-term mechanics, a progression/upgrades system similar to Dead Cells or even procedurally generated levels.

At the time of writing this review I have only done a single run. The game is quite fun and different. The movement feels really nice and I personally love the art style. If you like FPS games but also like games where you get tons of different runs (i.e Binding of Isaac) then this is a nice blend of the two genres. 9/10 in my book easily.

In Game Adventure: Legend of Monsters

Usually you would look at the one dollar price and make an assumption of the bad quality of the game.

Well, this game can have a lot of more features. But the selling point is that it does good with what it has.

Story wise, you just blitz through the levels, upgrade your weapons, defeat the weak boss and save your sister. Nothing much there.

But you’ll see some attention to details -

  • The monsters of this game are smarter than your usual top-down

  • Your screen is your vision range. Enemies off-screen can fire at you, and you can attack them too (fire where the laser sight is coming from)

Just found this game by pure accident, and I am glad that I did!

These developers are way underselling this super fun little indie gem for just 99 cents when I feel it offers plenty of value and replay value to warrant a $10 price tag!

Watch my “First Play Impressions Video” right HERE:

While this game has a couple of minor little bugs, it still scored an impressive 95% score using my unique scoring system which grades indie games more on value and fun that it does graphics. Because of the high score and my recent discovery of this amazing little game, I started a whole new series on my YT channel called" Discovered Hidden Gem!" just for games like this one here!

Evil Heart Fever

Evil Heart Fever

Bear with me, this is my first long review. Overall I’m recommending this game, as it was decently entertaining and it’s only 1$ (and I got it on sale 40% off).

The gameplay is solid enough, basic twin-stick style shooting to take down waves of enemies coming at you from the sides of the screen. Your character shoots at crosshairs where your mouse is located, and can do a quick dash every 2-3 seconds depending on your stats until it reaches the crosshairs. The progression is fairly solid, staying relatively challenging without any real difficulty spikes aside from possibly the bosses, who are chosen at random; some bosses are pretty easy to downright unthreatening, while others can be incredibly difficult to deal with while still fighting the swarms of basic enemies. These bosses show up every so often (with health scaled to your level), and regular enemies stay spawning during your fight with them at no slowdown. You can even end up with multiple boss angels simultaneously if you don’t kill each one fast enough. As you kill angels you gain levels and earn perks, a choice of 1 from a random 3 possibilities, thus allowing you to get stronger to face the tougher stock enemies the game will flood you with. You can even get one of five special transformations, each with their own unique perk, by acquiring three specific perks related to the transformation. Pretty simple, but a decent enough gameplay loop for a dollar.

A really fun multidirectional-shooter-roguelike mashup thing, amazing product for a dollar. It’s theme feels nice and cohesive, between it’s mix of Lovecraftian and religious items, enemies, and the player itself if a nice touch, and works well. The game looks alright, nothing amazing, but it does the job and doesn’t hurt to look at. There are only a few flaws with the game, such as what I assume are bosses being really fucking hard to kill, meaning you need to get lucky and be beefed up or have a synergy by the time one comes. There’s also the kinda of small library of upgrade items, which is about 35-40, and while that isn’t too small of an amount, some more items would be pretty dope.
