Rogue Spirit

Rogue Spirit

The game mechanics are really fun, possessing bodies and powering up ghost boy (the prince) to make your stronger bodies more durable and hit harder is a satisfying process.

Personal/Technical issues:

I clip through the map sometimes, but that is easily remedied with the ability to warp to past shrines and shops etc. Rarely happens, but can be jarring when it does.

All the bodies are viable, but the power distinction can be noticed. (slashers are for example, able to hook enemies, turn around and pull them towards you, exposing their back for pretty much a free kill.)

I’ve enjoyed the game and finished it a few times. The gameplay at the start is quite different than once you get some skills. It’s actually hardest at the start and I think many people might be turned off by the game due to the high initial difficulty.

My biggest tip to anyone who buys this game is to persevere until you at least unlock the mines skill. The main problem early on is that you will get surrounded by enemies and it will be difficult to parry everyone. I recommend using a controller over keyboard too.

FUUU…!

FUUU…!

Haha, first!

The Title of the Game is very accurate: I said a lot of time the “F - word” xD

I’m not gonna lie, made my palms sweaty!

Seems I’m not colorblind, but I have visual snow, thanks to the light graphics, this time I didnt notice it during playing.

The controls are tricky, jump is kinda short, which I found at the beginning kinda awkward, so you need get very close to the mine before hittin on space.

Overall I liked it, cute maps and sound effects.

Colorblind here.

It was very funny because after the first checkpoint i was lost. Colorblind mode was really helpful, still i died many times.

But at the end it doesent even matter. Made ancestors proud. Made my Country proud. And im proud of myself.

In school they should change the stupid books to this game instead.

Star Control®: Origins

Star Control®: Origins

I have broken this review into a few sections, because I feel like what you need to know depends on where you are coming from.

You played Star Control 2, and liked it a lot?

You should like this game. It basically follows the same formula in terms of story and gameplay, but with some welcome improvements, such as an automatic story log where you can review key details of past encounters, and a searchable star map with the ability to add your own bookmarks.

There are also some other subtle improvements. Enemy factions have more than one type of ship you will encounter, bringing added variety to combat. Your own allies will only provide one kind of ship, but your flagship can be equipped with a wide variety of different types of weapons and other abilities.

tl;dr; A beautiful and very funny adventure which is drowning in grindy, under- or mis-developed mechanics. [Verdict: 2/5]

=========================================

I have bought the game myself and completed it.

Let’s list all the positives first:

  • Very good art direction overall. Graphics, animations, aliens: all are very well done and a joy to look at.

  • Good story. Nothing super-original, but good enough with some minor twists and turns.

  • Interesting lore: using the main and also side quests there is a lot background information which enriches the world of this game.

9 Monkeys of Shaolin

9 Monkeys of Shaolin

A great, modern beat em up that dared to be different instead of relying purely on nostalgia and making a carbon copy of already existing games. This game is basically everything I wanted Streets of Rage 4 to be.

Positives:

  • Decent story. (Not that stories in a beat em up ever mattered)

  • Very fluid and satisfying gameplay. When you get the hang of the mechanics and skills, you can do some awesome combos, linking the different attacks and abilities together. The fact that you can attack in 360° instead of being forced to a 2D pane doing only left/right attacks is a welcome change. There is a bit of ‘automatic lock on’ for the moves to help with this, but you still feel in control of the character. Sending enemies flying and watching their rag-doll bodies fall/smash against the environment is never not satisfying.

Disclaimer: A copy of this game was provided by the developer.

9 Monkeys of Shaolin is a beat em up about a chinese fisherman/monk fighting the japanese pirates with a staff.

The main appeal is the satisfying, fluid and responsive combat. It has good skill expression with three different attacks that later get upgraded each with two different stances, a 360 degrees parry skill that requires good timing and can reflect enemy projectiles back at them and a dodge. Once you upgrade the attacks, you can fly across the screen with a kick and feel like a real Shaolin monk jumping and weaving attacks between multiple enemies. The use of magical seals disrupts enemies in an area that in my opinion make the game too easy even on the hardest difficulty. The enemies have a visual indicator, a brief shining light and take some time to execute their attack which usually makes them easy to defeat one on one. The only unfair element is sometimes ranged enemies shoot you from outside the screen. You will fight them in small groups in a locked zone until you defeat them and new enemies that need to be approached in a different way are introduced progressively. Finishing off the last enemy in a locked zone comes with a satisfying blow and slow motion.

A Nasty Farm

A Nasty Farm

Nasty Farm is an arcade 3d game showing the unclear situation of chicks imprisoned by Dr. Mazi, a mad, self-proclaimed scientist who has targeted small defenseless chicks bought with the farm, the number of chicks was huge, so he decided to make a deal on them, but the disobedient chicks go to boxes.

Game:

_Playing the role of our super character, you have to prepare yourself to save poor chicks locked in cages. The player’s task is to take the falling crates out of the machine as quickly as possible, deliver the crate to the press, located on the right side of the platform, thus freeing the chicks. The task seems trivial, but it is not. Crates falling off the machine use engine physics and any nervous uncoordinated pulling of crates carries a consequence, crates can block the machine, push the character away, the player should avoid such situations. An additional obstacle are crates with explosives that take the player’s energy.

Although we did not leave the player without a chance to defend himself, we added extra chests that add special abilities for a short while. Unlocking special chests requires collecting the appropriate number of points. During the game, the player must balance the game to earn points, to unlock extra crates, but must not forget to save the chicks. After the time is over, the player must quickly go outside to the shelter and catch the chicks escaping in panic into the basket, to unlock the next round, he must catch the right amount of them and not let them fall to the ground. The game is over when you destroy the evil professor’s machine. In the game, we left a small detail related to the gameplay that the player should discover for himself in order to become the best. Good luck._

Blade of Arena - 劍鬥界域

Blade of Arena - 劍鬥界域

I have updated this review on May 21st 2021’s update as I felt there was something particularly important to say about the new floating islands and its multiplayer.

A game of survival in an open world with combat centered around close combat using bladed weapons (hence the title). Yes, even hammers; their blades just don’t cut but beat your nose out of your face instead.

As someone who had already been bugtesting the game for months before the Early Release, here is my review:

-I find there to be a good deal of customization within the game. It starts in the menu where you can edit your character on various options. Most that can be colored uses a color wheel, which allows you to get a very specific shade of any color.
