Grim Trials

Grim trials is a fun little action roguelike with dungeon crawler aspects and lots of hack and slashing. Let’s talk about it.

Prove your worth explore the after life academy a training ground for aspiring Grim Reapers thats basically your jist you pass away and instead of going into the after life your brought to an academy where your told you have potential for being a reaper but first you gotta face the sins of your life literally.

So every dungeon run you face monsters the goal is to find the boss and take them out to progress the story, the game offers lots of crafting as well which you will need so learn it fast or be left in the dust, you have teachers showing you the ropes but in the end its all up to you and how you approach the battles that matter. Crafting is straight forward recipe this materials that and boom new gear which you need cause the monsters are no joke, in a sense the game is the child of hades cause the games share the same aspect of room to room battles with the boss as the final goal.

In my time with Grim trials I have enjoyed it a lot even tho im stuck haven’t been able to make it to the first boss to progress the story now i play a lot of games but this one just kicks my ass no matter how well I do the game smacks me down and screams try harder which i do but no matter what I still lose maybe the difficulty is a bit high or maybe I just need to get gud but the game is worth it so pick it up on steam and give it a shot guys you wont regret it game on.

Life Below

So life below throws us into the city building sim genre only this time we aren’t above water we are below it adding a twist to a genre that is very popular and well done.

So you awake as a sea spirit tasked with bringing back the coral reefs and to do so you gotta work each building has a different arch type but if you have played other city builders you wont get lost. There’s building for populace and there form of electricity but its all layered in a beautiful under water view so you see shells and oasters.

The game is very well done and adds new flavor to a genre that is over used and I must say they do it well not once did I stress over things the atmosphere they built and give us is truly peaceful the music is fitting and makes me just wanna sit around listening to it all day.

All in all Life Below is one of those games you gotta play and experience it my words will not do it justice so if you get the chance buy it play it and enjoy it go with the flow thank you and game on.

Grifford Academy

Gifford academy is an action tur ed based rpg now im not a huge fan of turn based games other then pokemon but I wanted to give this game a fair shot and check it out and so far its good.

So when you bring up the game it brings you to a chapter select there’s 5 chapters that unlock as you progress which makes me wonder is it all one giant story or is it 5 little stories who knows I wont tell.

So you select your chapter and then it gives you a difficulty choice pick that and boom into the story you go the game play is super simple so far you use numbers 1-4 to attack depending on where your weapons are each character has affinity to certain aspects which im guessing give you bonus there’s a level system with points as well as a currency system in play it offers much of a basic rpg the art is very nicely done and the story so far is interesting as you find other people as you progress.

The game feels smooth no stutters or issues for the time I’ve played and it makes you curious how much each chapter has to offer as the first has a big map you progress through as you accept missions to earn currency and favor amongst the towns people.

All in all grifford academy has huge potential and is worth checking out thank you and game on.

Japanese drift master

I didnt know what to expect when I started playing this game but so far the game has been a blast.

So the story is viewed in a manga book style as things get started which I find pretty entertaining as it saves on unnecessary cut scenes.

The map is huge ima say that now this map would feel right at home with a grand theft auto game in my opinion but thats also a down side you see everything is progression locked so you dont really get to explore much of the map unless you have a mission there which is a let down cause it offers some beautiful scenery.

The driving took me a bit to get used to as I went into it thinking it was just another racing game and not something that would actually require a bit of skill. You do find a school that teaches you the basics for drifting and other stuff but I didnt do it I wanted to experience stuff raw the driving feels fast the drifting definitely takes some work to get used to but is a blast once you manage it also drifting around traffic adds to the thrill of the game.

My only gripes with the game were the starter car your stuck with only one choice instead of letting you have some options and the map so much space and yet so empty I know the games still being worked on but I would love to see more to do around the map.

Well folks thats all for now take it easy and game on.

Tridents tale

Tridents tale is an exploration Rpg as you take on the role of ocean setting out to explore the world after having some trauma inducing events happen to her.

Tridents tale feels like sea of thieves if it was a single player game you get a ship you have a quest and now you must journey to complete the quest this quest leading to a mythical trident that has not been seen in hundreds of years yet some how she ends up with a piece of it go figure.

I love the open world part of the exploring once your on the boat you have other boats you can either avoid or fight and hope you survive you craft weapons and items to help you on your journey and you meet people along the way to help with your quest.

Trident tale is solid has a great base to expand on if they want but there’s nothing that screams im different other then the cartoon style graphics but dont take my word for it give trident a shot you might fall in love with it me I give the game a solid 7.5 out of 10 I cant wait to see what they add to the game down the road but for now thats all from me take care and game on.

Windward Horizon

First of massive thank you to Tasharen Entertainment for sending me a key to this gem of a game hope you guys enjoy my point of view.

The game is just a massive sailing adventure out in the world your adventure spirit is the only thing holding you back.

The game starts with the captain dying and he asking you to take him back to his home so he can spend his final hours with his family and loved ones after that you return to your ship unsure of how to progress until the crew chooses you as the new captain oh boy time to put on your big boy pants. This is basically the small tutorial where I wish it was longer and more detailed so the crew and you talk agreeing that we need a new ship so its time to get going.

You can take quest at different ports or just sail around fishing and fighting other pirates if you want. The game has some nice controls and doesn’t try to overwhelm you like others in this genre tend to do. It also sets you free and I do mean sets you free as in once the games done telling you how to do stuff boom its all on you which is a bit overwhelming in itself and I kinda wish it held on a little longer also add some indicators I get we are pirates but give the option of indicators to players it helps out. Also your not forced into combat every choice is left to you unless a world event or a quest requires you to fight that is and thats a bonus cause combat doesn’t become a pain after a while.

The game is available on steam for a nice 20 dollars and gives you your money’s worth i give it a 7.5/10 for my time spent with it so grab it set sail and enjoy thank you for stopping by take care and game on.

Sintopia

What do you get when divine intervention needs help down below? You get sintopia a new type of city builder where you my good friend are incharge of hells inc so let’s talk about it.

First off huge thank you to PiraKnights Games and Team17 for sending me a demo key greatly appreciated huge shout out.

So the games intro tutorial starts out with the big guy himself trying to talk to you but before he can get much out of his mouth he gets a phone call and gets busy so in comes your one and only LiLi the succubus to teach you the ropes of how to run Hell and yes run it you shall.

So the game is divided into 2 play areas you have the main area hell itself which we will get to in a minute and you have the upper world where your humus live peaceful lives going about there days. So in this upper area you dont have much control here you see a few buildings and some people chilling these are the souls you will need to make hell a more productive place and yes you are able to use spells and magic in order to claim a few of these souls and have the awesome reaper bus bring them down below for you but dont get to crazy the bus is on a timer and souls do wait around the cemetery till they get to board and get taken below.

Now down in hell it gets very busy you have to create buildings and walk ways for your souls to follow to get rehabilitation in order to be reborn you see in hell there’s a special temple that every path must end at and that temple is the rebirth temple where souls get sent back to there humus domain to live new lives.

Working for hell is a lot of work there’s different currencies you need in order to make things work like your spells and there’s stuff like sin overload which I didnt get to experience but im sure its bad just from its name. The humus have strict schedules to follow and they will die trying to complete them a bit over dramatic I feel.

You do get your own team of workers to help you out with some stuff but I didnt get to interact much with them off the start they get introduced to you during the tutorial. Also the tutorial does a great job of walking you through stuff up until a certain point where it let’s you experience it a bit on your own.

Sintopia is a one of a kind management sim builder that really adds a new flavor to the genre and makes for interesting games I cant wait for the full release and its a must play in my opinion thank you all for stopping by have a great day and game on.

Lumentale Memories of trey

So I wanna thank beehive studios for sending me a copy of this demo and that’s all the pleasantries I have sadly on to the rest.

The game starts out slow excruciatingly slow and I was having a very hard time vibing with the game between how much dialog I had to read through and all the tedious beginning quest the game really needs a boost of speed so people can get to the good stuff instead of wasting 30 minutes or more getting through stuff.

After according to my steam timer I hit about 45 almost 50 minutes did I get my first animon gotta say he looked bad ass and you get to choose between 5 different kinds which is a huge plus giving you some nice variety.

Now onto the big issues that basically broke the game for me and made it unplayable. When I was trying to enter a building the game froze on me and I couldn’t do anything I was trying to be optimistic but it was a massive foreshadowing I restart and progress forward then all my animons glitch out and become my starter ok great a glitch now I tried to push forward and not worry until I arrive at a critical story part that I need to do to progress. There I experienced a total of 6 freeze bugs even after reinstalling nothing changed I understand this is a demo and im trying to enjoy it but when the game breaks for me there’s nothing I can do sadly I really wanted to enjoy and play this game so im hoping down the road i can give it another shot but for now its unplayable and needs some work and optimization. Thank you for your time have a great day and game on.

Nice day for Fishing

You know as a big fan of viva la dirt and there skits I always wanted a game based on there stuff and we finally have it its called nice day for fishing.

The game has you take over town fisherman bailen and become an adventurer and I gotta say its great, honeywood is in trouble after an ancient evil awakens and attacks all others, where are the adventures… missing buy why.

The game starts out simple do this get this quest as you progress the story you meet every character from honeywood along the way from Greg the garlic farmer to bodger the blacksmith and even others like the great baradun. So yes this game is being true to its core material and I for one am loving it.

Combat has to be the most unique part of the game as all enemies are fishes and your goal is to fish them out but man did the devs make this hard as fishes fight back so you gotta use spells for damage and stamina recovery as well as blocking and attacking at the right moments it takes a bit to get used to but the combat is fun and interesting to say.

The game really sticks to its material but man I feel sometimes the characters are a bit harsh to bailen im looking at you wizard boy lmao. But there’s also plenty of comedic feel as you progress in bailens journey to save the great town of honeywood and I for one and enjoying my journey.

No but seriously this game is worth playing its fun its cozy and relaxing and has great dialog and progression its definitely a 10/10 from me and a must play so if your looking for a new game please give this game a chance not only to support the devs and cast but to experience the love and passion this game was built on.

I wanna thank the devs at fusion play and team17 for sending me this game I’ve loved every minute of it and cant wait to progress more and save honeywood. Also I refused to give to much as to not spoil the game sorry. Thank you for stopping by take care and game on.

Revenge of the Savage Planet

What do you get when your drifting through space arrive at your destination and get a harsh wake up call well you get revenge or so you would hope that’s how we start the game revenge of the savage planet you arrive after an explosion sends everything out of whack but was there an explosion? This game makes me laugh it opens you up to your character watching a video of your employer who hired you for this awesome mission to make other planets worthy of living on but no he’s not into it no more so he waits for you to be billions of miles away and fires you, yeah you heard me you get fired what the heck people.

So this is where you take over your on a random planet no weapons no mods no way of getting home but thankfully your not alone as your A.I buddy is there to keep you progressing.

You eventually reach home base where you set things up and you start researching stuff for your 3d printer so you can survive better the slew of monsters you encounter tho adorable and cute are not to be messed with some explode some spit others charge and your goal is to survive.

This game has some beautiful colors and graphics it reminds me of a cartoon as you play through the planet has lots of points of interest as well as paths you cant travel unless you have the proper upgrades there’s also plenty to do as the story progresses you find out that not everything is as clean and cut as it seems.

Revenge of the savage planet has lots to do multiple planets to explore plenty of animals to gather info on and lots to survive you eventually encounter boss fights the story is fun and definitely keeps you wanting more info on it the game offers a solo player experience or couch co op as well as online co op tho I haven’t tried any of these co op modes I would love to play this game with someone else just to share the laughs from sassy computer friend to weird recorded videos this game is a blast and one I must recommend to anyone looking for some fun games to adventure with that’s all for today keeping it spoiler free enjoy and game on.
