Archero

Archero

Dear archer hero, it’s time to answer the call of the world and complete the necessary challenges to become a god!

Using your skillful archery skills, different arrows and the blessings of the bow gods, you can easily destroy all kinds of enemies and complete a variety of challenges.

Don’t forget to defeat your challengers, they don’t want you to become a god!

Shoot!

Draw an arrow from your pack, then build up your strength and shoot at the enemy! The greater the force, the faster the arrow and the more damage it will do to the enemy.

A shot that hits an enemy may break their joints and slow them down. There is a chance of a blast effect or even a kill shot!

Enemy armour

Enemies do not always reveal their flesh and blood, but usually wear armour of varying strengths in different torso positions, including light, medium and heavy armour.

Usually some enemies will be able to tell at a glance which type of armour is dominant, while others will need to be tried with an arrow.

Each part of the armour has its own durability value and will protect its owner with a response damage reduction parameter until it is depleted, but some arrows can penetrate directly regardless of the armour.

Types of arrows

When facing enemies without armour, or wearing light, medium or heavy armour, the different types of arrows are more effective and are

Normal arrows - average muzzle velocity, penetrate light armour and dent medium armour, but break when encountering heavy armour

Barbed arrow - higher muzzle velocity, penetrates and deals a lot of damage to unarmored and light armour, breaks on medium and heavy armour

Flat arrow - low muzzle velocity, dents almost all armour and loses a lot of durability

Sharp Arrows - Very high muzzle velocity, can penetrate all armour types including heavy armour, but do less damage

Normal arrows are infinite and you will automatically harvest other arrows from the Bow God on a regular basis, so remember to be flexible!

Growth

You gain experience by hitting enemies. Each time you accumulate a certain amount of experience you can upgrade and choose one of three random growth paths. Feel free to choose your own direction of development!

God Wishes

Wishes will accumulate automatically over time, and each successful shot will accumulate more wishes. When they are full, they unleash powerful aspirations.

These skills last for a while and come in different types: from rapid fire and knockback to charm and disguise, each of which has its own use to help you defeat the enemy.

Divine Rites

Each time you achieve a part of your goal, you will receive a gift from the gods. You can choose from a variety of different rewards, from special passive skills, divine wishes or special arrows.

Bow

Find bows with different attributes from all over the map, or from dead enemies, and use them with a passive skill or a divine wish to achieve outstanding results.

Quests or the Bow God

Complete a series of quests for the Bow God and collect crystal shards to cement your path to godhood. As your strength increases, you can receive various levels and quests such as defence, assault, sneaking and collecting.

Special helpers

Skeletons in tombstones, locked gates, stone throwers for defence, carefully erected stone balls, rickety suspension bridges - the mechanics in each mission will be a great help to you!

The Hong Kong Massacre

The Hong Kong Massacre

I rarely leave reviews unless its something i hate and want to rake over the coals.. but i have to leave one here to give these people props.

I’ve been following this game since i stumbled over it on Facebook for many many years ago when all there was were just gifs of tech demos. I loved the style and the potential that was shown and i was hooked at the idea.

It is inevitable that reviews will bring up Hotline Miami but that is not a negative. The games look similar but they operate in a different way. There is no score here, take that as a positive or negative but the only thing that influence your score at the end is the challenges and if you completed them or not as well as a your time being logged.

“The Hong Kong massacre” is the indie tribute to the 80’s-90’s John Woo movies like “Hard-Boiled” or “Bullet in the Head”, made in the form of a top-down shooter.

To those who are TLTR in their heads: It’s a cheap-made indie game. Not bad visually, but very limited by the chosen topic and production costs. Buy it if you really love top-down shooters and 80’s Hong Kong-style action movies. In all other cases, there are good chances that you’ll turn it down after only a little while.

Die Again: Prologue

Die Again: Prologue

Die Again brings us a post-Apocalyptic setting where anyone who dies near another human being will possess their body killing the original “soul” that was in that body.

I simply love this concept. I don’t want to spoil the game but the creator has achieved to introduce a very interesting plot and some cool side events around the day to day of the characters that makes you think about the problems of it’s world. For example: How do you know this person near to you is still your partner and not someone who has possessed it’s body and wants to kill you? or other things like the fact that every sick or old person should live alone to not possess another body if they die, but do that person wants to die?

Game was pretty good.

The music was good, the gameplay was nice, but sometimes a bit repetitive. There were a few bugs as well, but they weren’t bad enough to list in detail. As I said, some of the levels were a bit repetitive, but I think that mainly is because the whole concept needs some work. I feel like the circle could be a bit smaller, and maybe some new things could be added to the mix, such as a bigger variety of enemies with different abilities and properties, like with armor or maybe even an occasional mini boss. Otherwise it’s a pretty solid game. I hope the developer continues to work on this idea and refine it.

You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/WtpjCJTCEiA

VRAstrosmash is I guess an Asteroids clone designed for VR. You have 6 degrees of movement, you can thrust forward, roll, pitch, or yaw. However, it never feels like you’re actually moving forward, just rotating in a spot. You shoot asteroids as they rotate around you. The closer they are, the easier they are to target.

Unfortunately, the game starts out slow and plodding. After 30 minutes, I can honestly say not much happened. I think I had destroyed 3 asteroids. I was very bored. I finally got into a second phase and there were more asteroids now. Unfortunately, that’s when my frame rates started dropping severely.

Couldn’t move the plane. I grabbed the flight stick and pushed it forward, pulled it back, tilted it and pushed every single button on my controller but nothing happened. The game flashes bright red in your eyes when getting attacked.
