Rum & Gold royale

Hey guys i was able to participate in a small indie game called rum n gold Royale now I’m sure many ideas pop to mind with that name but yes it’s a battle royal but with pirate ships yes that’s right you read that right pirate ships let’s talk more about it.

First i wanna thank primaldev games for sending me a key thank you guys you rock. Now about this sweet little indie game if you know the battle royals genre then you will fit perfectly here this game puts you on a pirate ship or ships if you have team mates least I think I can’t try that part and then sets you free on the map, now the map is a nice decent size the storm well you wanna stay ahead of get wrecked fast, now on the mini map you will see small yellow dots and you reach those dots you either find barrels or crates the barrels offer different type of ammunition to use from a fire bomb to a big bomb and last the chain bomb to slow ships down the crates offer heals so you can survive longer.

The game offers a good control near your aim marker there’s a bar that fills up if it’s full you fire a full barrage of cannon balls if it’s not well it’s single shot so play smart so you can take full advantage the healing is a risk factor as the ship will stop if u try to fully heal so again make it count the storm hits you hard and since there ships you wanna stay ahead of the storm the upper left corner of the interface shows you your kills and how many players are left which is very helpful.

All in all Rum N Gold Royale is a fun indie that adds a new concept to an already saturated genre and does it really good there’s new ships to buy as well as sails flags and designs for your sails the games available now on steam and is definitely worth playing thank you guys for stopping by have a great day and game on

Bass Defense

First huge shout out and thank you to Gacriva Studios for sending me the key to check out Bass Defense so let me share my experience with you.

So i wasn’t sure what to expect with this game my rythem games were mostly dance dance back in the day and beat saber in VR. So I went into this with as much of an open mind as I could so my first gripe right off the bat the menu slider for audio doesn’t work and the menu music is way to loud I hope they tone it down a bit and make the slider work.

So the game is top down you watch these squares and orbs following a path making there way to the middle and in the middle is a little base and that base is you so you use left right and down arrows or a s d to fight back using bumpers that come out of your base so it’s a score game do as best as you can reach combos and score high but the simple Ness of the game is worth it and the music man some great electronic music would love to see some dlc with new tracks there’s 2 game modes to select from Soundwave mode and fingerton mode in fingerton all 20 stages are open for you to try out and in Soundwave mode you unlock each stage as you progress.

How to play below

The games enemies are called NYMs and there trying to destroy you in defense you get different power ups to try and protect you a shield and health pack amoung them this game is fun it’s a time killer something easy to pick up and put down and would fit perfectly on steamdeck if they put the time into it i wanna see more from this game they have something great here and can definitely be huge guys give this game a play it’s 5.99 on steam and the music alone is fun on a pair of speakers I hope to see more from the dev team and I’ll definitely be updating you guys the more I play this game

Pokemon GO

Pokemon go is probably the most popular mobile game out there and the closest you will ever feel to being a real life pokemon trainer since you play the game outside exploring in hopes of finding other pokemon to add to your collect.

I’ve played this game since day one I loved the concept I’ve always wished pokemon were real and this was as close as I could get starting out with gen one and slowly other generations were added to the game. So I’ve seen a lot of the games growths from adding mega evolutions to raids and gyms but lately the game has been feeling like such a chore that I’ve lost almost all my interest in playing it.

Recently they added dynamax forms which if you played sword and shield on the Nintendo switch you will be familiar with this concept but of course instead of making it a one to one straight from the game they decide to make it so that the dynamax pokemon are strictly available from dynamax raids which is bullshit cause in the game itself you could dynamax anyone the power came from the wrist band but Niantic couldn’t be assed to match the concept no they made dynamax Hotspot raids making it so you can only use the mons u get from the hotspots so of course now you gotta grind again waste candies and stardust all over instead of giving us a break and letting us use what we have then the first free dynamax pokemon you get is a fucking wooloo a damn sheep that isn’t even meta relevant come on Niantic do better.

Another thing the community has been asking for is let us trash the eggs we don’t want many players like myself included don’t spend money on the game we are strictly free to play and get coins from defending gyms so we are stuck with the free incubator which isn’t a bad thing but you can’t get good eggs until you hatch what you have like come on let us delete eggs so we can focus on the eggs we really want. Another thing let us delete the quest we don’t wanna finish you know how hard some of the rocket missions are they suck and are hard to do since they match to your current level adding a delete feature isn’t that hard Niantic. The one thing I would love to see added are the other organizations it’s always team rocket yes I get it there the main villains but what about magma and aqua or plazma hello make the missions more fun add others so we can fight them don’t give us the same recycled trash under a new name.

I used to love this game but Niantic has become so greedy they don’t care about making this game good all they care about is milking cash from players and thanks to big pogo youtubers like mystic7 and jtgilly to name some they will always have a cash cow it’s thanks to youtubers that Niantic has ruined the game specially for the free to play crowd the rural crowd I hope this game changes for the better but I doubt it will.

Thank you guys for stopping by check out some other post thank you and game on.

Kuma kuma kuma bear punch season 2

So i watched season 2 of kuma bear and it was ok had it’s moments but i felt it didn’t grab me like the first season maybe I’ll have to rewatch it again and update down the road but I’ll tell you what I saw so far.

There wasn’t much variety in the episodes this season the first notable episode has Yuna being an escort adventurer for a bunch of noble kids in school of course like all rich assholes they assumed Yuna was a fake until she had to save there asses then there tones changed like always.

Then our great Yuna gets wind of the legendary mythril material and goes on a hunt that last 3 episodes I think it was which wasn’t bad the episodes were awesome and kinda offered some cliff hangers per say she finally gets the material and gets 2 awesome dagger swords made for herself the blacksmith was amazing matching them to her outfit.

And then the end of the season wraps up with a fued between a greedy noble and one who is just trying to take care of everything this episode left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth cause the king refused to use his authority to prevent shit from happening which in turn put some people in harms way and showcased a side of Yuna we have yet to see before but the epic fight at the greedy nobles castle was so worth it and seeing him and his kid get taken down a peg even better, but anyways that sums up season 2 I hope there’s a 3rd and I hope they tone it back on the politics the show started out great in season 1 and this season felt a bit like a let down but that’s my opinion of course well I thank you all for stopping by take care and game on

Marvel Rivals Season 1

Hey everyone how’s it going bringing you some more marvel rivals news as season 1 just released adding new characters a new map and a new story to explore and find this season is awesome so far let’s talk about it.

Season 1 has us fighting again the one and only Dracula new york has fallen to his horde of monsters and the avengers are trying to battle to save the world like always. This season also introduces the favorite family in marvel the fantastic 4 giving us Reed Richard’s a.k.a Mr.Fantastic and Susan Storm a.k.a invisible women a healer and brawler this season also gave us a new map and a few game modes which I haven’t had time to play since I’ve been grinding the battle pass.

The battle pass adds 10 new costumes most revolve around Dracula and my 2 favorites are magneto and ironman, magneto has the goth Dracula colors but all together I get huge warhammer 40k vibes and I love it same for ironman.

Season 1 fantastic 4 is being released in 2 parts with Johnny and thing coming at the mid point of the season i can’t wait to try them out in combat.

Onto the characters Susan has a sweet deal so far she’s a healer with force push or pull as one attack and a stunning bubble as another her ultimate causes players in a circle to vanish from outside view but inside its war and damage like crazy, she’s a good fighter so far could use a healing buff honestly. As for Mr.Fantastic he’s a brawler and slow honestly he needs faster attack since he uses punches and can bounce back ultimates which is cool he can also buff up acting as a mini tank but can’t attack while he’s tanking and his ultimate just straight sucks you bounce and slam into the ground the camera position sucks ass and your vulnerable to attack damage i was hoping more of a punch barrage a la luffy from one piece style not what we got.

Season one is doing great so far people that abandon matches get punished and I like that personally it’s a team based game play like a team I can’t wait to see what else we get with season 1 but I’ll keep you guys posted if we get anything juicy also try the get out it’s free and lots of fun thank you for stopping by take care and game on

Kuma kuma kuma bear season 1

I watch a good amount of anime and my favorite genre are the isekai animes they just seem something I wouldn’t mind being in.

My latest isekai is Kuma Kuma Kuma bear it’s been out for a while and follows female lead Yuna as she is isekaid into the video game she spent hundreds of hours playing and as a gift the game gives her a special outfit can you guess what it is hint hints title lol it’s a bear outfit with some insane power and abilities.

Yunas journey starts with finding a young girl named fina in the woods being attacked by some wolves she saves her and together follows fina back to her city of cremonia and this is where the anime branches into some awesome episodes in season 1 which is what I’ve seen so far.

Yuna wants to lay low but life has other plans for her she saves a village from a giant black viper in the first episode then she saves an orphanage in cremonia and finds out a corrupt noble has been stealing money from different departments that are funded by the lord of the city, each episode offers new adventures and lots of corruption as she falls into a sorta big sister role to all the girls around her Yuna does her best to keep a low profile but how do you do that when you open up a restaurant and in the final episode fight a giant kraken.

Season 1 of Kuma Kuma Kuma bear really was a humble adventure full of laughter and had me smiling the whole time I watched 12 episodes in 2 days and had a blast i highly recommend people give this anime a chance even tho she’s a bit over powered the love she shows to her friends and everyone she has helped really leaves you wanting more and cheering her along the way so add this anime to your watch list and enjoy thank you all for stopping by take care and game on

Towers of aghasba

So i bought this game on release day me and my friends had planned to get it and play together but all the stories around multi-player left my friends with some doubt so they didn’t get it and here I was out 30 bucks so I played the game and played it I did.

So the premise of the story I’ve gotten so far is that your tribe the shimu tribe once lived on aghasba and the ruler at the time queen chileku basically threw the eco system into complete chaos at least that’s what it seems so far so the people leave cause the island becomes a wasteland leaving nothing but barren land and the evil that has embedded itself on the island.

So this is where the game starts whats left of your tribe escaping there new world from whatever was hunting them sail back to aghasba but wash up on an island just south of the main land this is tutorial island cause it’s basically where you learn to move climb deal with stamina and health as well as gather and farm materials you also gain a few quest to progress the little island.

This little island is where it becomes interesting a bit as you have a seed for a special tree that once thrived there after you plant it the cut scene shows it growing after a bit you meet the first god of the world huldra the forest god a bitter spirit who hates humans for the destruction of the island this is where you start to see how much suffering your tribe is responsible for and you basically become the person to set things right which isn’t bad as some of the greenery you see is beautiful as well as the animals you bring back.

The game runs well has its moments the problem I’m having is the slog of a repetitive grind and after a bit it just wears you down to the point I don’t even wanna play anymore, it took me 4 hours to progress tutorial island and finally reach the main island where your tasked with finding a giant seed from huldra and replanting things meaning once again you gotta rebuild which I don’t mind but honestly the fact that the game really makes u feel like your in a waste land everything is hard to find and you have to worry about the monsters which yes there are monsters the first you see are spiders then you see corrupted people and your expected to survive with equipment that is basic they kill you fast while u barely do damage it’s not fair honestly.

On the main island you do get more cool stuff the fast travel system is portal based you get a mount from a monster called the harelope there’s a item called shimu scope which basically helps identify the creatures around you into your shimudex yes it’s inspired by pokemon but with more info which is cool in my opinion. You find things around the island that talk about the history of the tribe and island which definitely seems useful as you progress.

I’ve only put 12 hours into the game and i know for these types of games thats nothing I’m just having a hard time wanting to play when the grind feels extremely un-rewarding maybe down the road I’ll revisit and make another blog post about it I’m sorry if it feels like I’m bagging on the game I’m not i just feel it could use more tweaking to make it a bit less grindy and easier to get things especially when you need materials for literally everything from weapons to farming tools to buildings if you look survival exploration games this is a good one to pick up yes it does have multi-player once you reach the main island but the progress only be fits the host not the entire party that definitely needs to be fixed if you haven’t picked up this game give it another month or 2 to marinate before you buy it but for now it needs a bit more cooking time, thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Path of Exile 2

Path of exile 2 the ARPG that literally melts your brain with how much you have to think.

Path of exile 2 is the much anticipated sequel to grinding gear games path of exile this game expands on the first by having a better well thought out story the game is in early access meaning there’s stuff missing for example there’s supposed to be 12 classes to choose from but in E.A you only get 6 and like with any game where it’s focused built shit gets broken and fast some classes have already gotten nerfs and I’m sure there’s many more to come as well as there’s only 3 acts available in easy then 3 on harder difficulty and then what’s open up of end game.

I’ll talk about what I’ve played but considering there’s so much to this game I will make another post down the line when I experience more of the game in all it’s brain melting glory.

So to start off you get to choose between a warrior a ranger a monk a witch a mercenary and sorcerer the story starts as soon as u pick a character class the other classes are hung at the gallows as you jump off a castle wall into the ocean you wash ashore on an island and start your journey immediately finding a weapon and skill gem from there you explore until you come across your first boss outside the town similar to the first game depending on class you might have an easier time maybe lol.

So once in town the game picks up you do missions finding stuff learning new skills getting new gear and so on, each act has its own sub story that ties into the main plot your hunting down this terrible demon that is corrupting and killing the land so yeah you go from would be prisoner about to die to hero of the land.

The skill gems have a variety your able to use from other classes I’m currently working on a monstrosity of a monk lol the skill tree is insanely huge with lots of paths and options to take.

The second act will give you a shot at acendency which makes your character even more focused and bad ass so please do your research cause once you pick an acendency your stuck with it and will have to make a new character in order to change your choice.

This game has a lot to offer and this is just a small portion of the ice burg as there’s so much more to experience and once I have I will write another post but for now this game is a must if your a fan of ARPG games.

Thank you all for stopping by stay safe and game on

Marvel Rivals

Marvel rivals the overwatch game we needed.

Ok let me get it out of the way by saying yes rivals is an overwatch clone even though I haven’t played overwatch since release but it’s the exact concept.

Now the game uses the marvel ip to give us an awesome amount of characters from x-men to Ironman spiderman and guardians of the galaxy this game offers such a diverse cast that the replay ability is insane and the best part no grind to unlock new characters as there all unlocked from the get go which let’s be honest not having to grind just adds more fun factor to the game and I’m here for it. The games monetary system is strictly skins and battle pass which I’m fine with they don’t force you to buy anything and the game feels like a breath of fresh air.

Game modes are simple capture the point and escort but the maps are beautiful and there also destructive which adds to the whole hero combat system and makes it feel more realistic.

The heros are graded on a star system 1 star means pretty easy to manage 5 stars means complex and hard to learn there are so many characters that I haven’t been able to play them all.

There is a ranked mode which i will most likely stay away as these types of games always fill with toxic try hards which I hope rivals doesn’t the game is fun right now and being free to play helps it a lot.

The match making is insanely fast duh to the cross play between consoles and pc thankfully I haven’t come across any issues so I welcome everyone to play.

The game is fun and easy to pick up and play nothing special needed there also working on the first even which is a Christmas event I can’t wait to try out which brings us some new skins as well I see marvel rivals being around for a long time and I can’t wait to see what new characters they give us if you been on the fence give the game a try it’s free that’s all you need thank you for stopping by take care and game on

Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor

Shadow of mordor man what a game truly a great game from monolith and wb games and during the past 3 weeks I think I’ve put in 15 hours for a completion of 50% sorry but the game has way to much to find and do and honestly I was getting bored and wanted to finish the story.

So the story follows talion and celebrimbor in there journey for revenge and trying to piece there memories back. After being murdered by the black hand of sauron celebrimbor attaches his soul self to talion and they journey through mordor for answers.

The game has you doing a bit of everything from finding forgotten treasure to hunting caragors there’s even an appearance by gollum in it. The story itself is simple go here start quest go there kill orcs or destroy this gain new power here, it’s a great rpg with an ability tree as well as a power up system for your weapons you get 3 a sword a bow and a dagger all really cool with there own secrets but all that is nothing compared to what makes this game truly amazing and that’s the nemesis system.

The nemesis system monoliths and wb games baby a system that gives the npc characters a brain and almost will of there own you see the orcs in the game evolve and get stronger either by killing each other or killing you the player and it’s this system that provides hours of orc killing goodness and keeps your busy as you progress for no matter how good you are you will die by there hand and they will get a rank up thanks to this system I know shadow of war probably made greater use of this system but with shadow of mordor being the start it’s a great system and one I hope they rent out and let others have a chance with it.

I’m sorry I know this review isn’t the greatest I’ve been away from this blog for a while and I gotta get my briches going again and doing better, now about the game if you have never played shadow of mordor please give it a chance it’s a great game solid story but the nemesis system is where the game shines there’s lots to do in the game for those hard-core completionist I can’t wait to see how that system grew in the sequel but thank you all have a great day and game on
