Aethermancer

Hello everyone hows it going? Today we talk about aethermancer a creature battling rouge-like, but first I wanna thank Offbrand Games who were awesome enough to send me a copy thank you guys so let’s talk about aethermancer.

I wasnt sure how to feel about this was it trying to be another pokemon style game or did it have enough carved out that it was different and in a genre with dozens of other creature games how would they stand out.

Aethermancers twist is the fact that the game is a rougelite and everything is done in runs similar to other games until you lose and start over again this is the way of the game. In aethermancer you can capture other creatures to help you on your journey you also get to pick from 4 starters me I went with the fire/earth monster named cherufe my buddy over at savior gaming went with nixie who’s a healer but I was able to find a healer quick and him a fire type. So before every run you can purchase upgrades and items to help you survive and make the runs longer which in these games you need that as some of the monsters you find definitely hurt.

The story is simple and solid as you explore the world and the areas of life and death but thats all your getting from me I refuse to spoil the game for future players. I didnt have any issues while playing the game it runs really good which now a days its a must need since one wrong code can cause a mountain of issues.

The game is a little over 20 bucks on steam and has a good amount of reviews keeping it in a positive stance from over 600 players do I recommend it absolutely more indie games need a chance to shine and aethermancer is one of them thats all for now guys thanks for stopping by take care and game on.

Pokemon Legends Z-A

Hello everyone hows it going today we talk about pokemon legends za and if its worth it and guess what short answer yes its worth it long answer its absolutely worth it and then some so let’s talk about what game freak, nintendo and the pokemon company gave us.

So where do I start well at the beginning of course so the game starts us off with us the player getting off a train and the grand lumiose city where within seconds we are greeted with the first of many characters that we will encounter taunie after some talking the game continues taking us on a bit of a mission until finally we get to selecting our starter pokemon between chikorita totodile and tepig and yours truly picked my favorite funny boy totodile. Soon after we are dropped into our hotel where we stay during the whole journey of our game. The game starts with a bit of hand holding until maybe after the first 20 minutes give or take where you finally get control and freedom.

So why legends za i dont know but za is the rank tournament that we as the player enter and take part of now i for one was excited about this using you skills in a ranking system instead of the normal badge system and I got behind it the game also introduced a day and night cycle which helps with different adventures in the game during the day you explore the city catching pokemon in the wild zones and at night you battle it out for glory in the za tournament battle royal and it only gets harder as you progress.

Alpha pokemon from legends arceus are back not as big and scary but still big and scary and boy can they hold there own but if you manage to get them down and catch them you have yourself and extra extra large pokemon who dwarfs there normal selves. You find the alpha pokemon in the wild zones there the bosses of the area and in the early game they are a handful.

The starters you actually get to find them in the wild zones at later points in the game and you dont know how happy that makes me to finally be able to catch them and not need to trade for them over and over this is a feature they need to keep moving forward.

Mega forms are back and I for one love the mega evolutions they added flair to the pokemon and some megas just looked so damn cool definitely couldn’t complain about it.

My new favorite feature of this game is the battle system its a real time battle the moves recharged so your no longer stuck to the pp system of old games thank lord and the battles are hectic but fun running around trying to dodge moves and reposition yourself its a blast I dont care what anyone says this new system is top tier and needs to move forward with future games.

I do hate the evolution system pretty sure its the same one from legends arceus where you actually click on the pokemon then click on the option to evolve i for one am not a fan of it one bit.
The trainers in this game are definitely a handful not only are they close to your level but there strong and this is the first game where typing and move types are a huge factor I remember in the old games you could just brute force your way through most fights but in za everything is calculated and moves matter your pokemon type and move type matter but its fun because for once I actually use all 6 pokemon unlike in old games where I mostly stuck to my starter or whoever was my strongest so keep that in mind for your play through.

You will see some familiar faces from the past and there involvement in the story is slowly exposed but so far the story really doesn’t start coming out until near the end where a certain legendary becomes more known.

So the game has 38 main missions 42 post game missions and over 100 side quest missions so you have a good amount of stuff to explore and enjoy.

Now onto the biggest gripe I have with this game is literally after almost every conversation there’s a fucking pokemon battle and sometimes its 2 or 3 battles in a row I got to the point I had 6 battles in a row to progress my story then if I need some info guess what you guessed it another fucking battle by the point im at now I am sick of the game and battles I wanna get the story over with just so im not forced into battles and I can enjoy everything but thats my 2 cents I know pokemon is all about fighting but come on give me a break.

But all in all I’ve enjoyed every aspect of the game and I’ve had fun with all the wild zones and checking out all the stores for the latest fashion I wish they would add a pokeball customization option even if it cost money cause im close to the end of the game and have over 400k in money since I earn 40 to 60k a night I think that would be a cool add on but thats just me anyways guys thanks so much for stopping by hope you enjoyed take care 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.

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.

Pokemon Scarlet

Hello everyone today i wanna talk about nintendos newest addition to the pokemon family pokemon scarlet version, i also wanna apologize for not being so active life has me in a rough spot but lets continue shall we.

Pokemon Scarlet brings with it the first ever truly open world experience of all the games many will say pokemon arceus is open world as well but its not since you have to choose between areas, but anyways this open world is truly beautiful has many regions and sites to see and personally i feel nintendo out did themselves and i cant wait for what they have instore for the future.

Now to fill up the massive open world nintendo did something new and made 3 story quest that you can interact with at your discretion as well as explore the massive world anyway you want but in part thats not true you see the game doesnt scale with you as you explore the game has pre set levels so watch out when your exploring you might end up in the wrong area and face some over powered pokemon.

The first story which is the same for all games is the champion arc where you go around battling gym after gym collecting badges in hopes of facing the elite 4 champion and taking the title for yourself and the best part of this just like in sword and shield your acknowledged as champion which in my opinion is awesome and makes your journey worthwhile.

The second arc is the titan quest which has you exploring the regions fighting giant pokemon wondering whats causing this insane change in them and i gotta say its awesome they feel like raid battles and give you a great challenge of endurance to see if you can take hits this story is closer to the main story of the game and is very worthwhile as its filled with just the right emotions.

The last arc is the operation star arc which has you finding these rebel bases of students who are rebeling against the school your job is to find out why and hopefully put a stop to it and get the students back in class this arc also has great emotional attachment to it and really shines on the issues of real world students.

The game has so much to offer and has such a great story that all i can say it great job game freak and nintendo you guys have really hit a home run.

Now the game has gotten much negativity for glitches and bugs but people forget every game has issues and this is nintendos first jump into doing this with pokemon so cut them some slack the game is great i had 1 issue and that was mainly because of where the game put me in a pokemon encounter which forced me into the map but other then that i was able to explore and play with no issues.

If your a pokemon fan and havent played the new games yet please do it there amazing and have much to offer and definitely show nintendo is evolving our world of pokemon for the better i loved every minute of it and can not wait to see whats next for the scarlet and violet games thank you all for your time and game on.

Pokemon Sword final thoughts

So finally after weeks of taking it slow so I could get the maximum enjoyment out of the game I have finished Pokemon sword today on April 26 and here before you are my thoughts on the game let’s dive in.

The story

So unlike the games before it Nintendo really went full tilt with this game and giving it what I call truly an amazing story from start to finish with such an amazing lore behind it leaving you wanting more information on the hablar regions history and the events of its shrouded past.

Like before you start off with your custom character as you set out to explore the world and meet your best friend who also happens to be your rival during the game Hop, I gotta say I love what Nintendo did with hop the personality he was giving during all parts of the game and the struggles of being a trainer you see a lot of it in him but I feel Nintendo made him a bit to weak to really give you that rival feel in all this.

So the galar region is beautiful some new Pokemon to catch many old ones as well as a few with special regional forms that honestly are pretty bad ass the total in the Pokedex is 400 before the dlc which I’m sure that number will only grow once the add ons are released. Like hoenn region which was famous for mega evolutions the galar region is famous for a mysterious Pokemon phenomenon called dynamax where the Pokemon grows massive in size and power all through the special effects of a wishing star, now I won’t get to much into that because I don’t wanna spoil the game for anyone who hasn’t played it but man is it fun.

The Gym Challenge

Unlike previous games where you got your Pokemon from the professor and set out to catch em all as well as challenge the gyms and the elite for this game did it differently and I loved it because it game the game much needed life.

So I’m sword and shield hop’s older brother Leon who is the galar region champion is the on who gives you your starter Pokemon I won’t say anything else cause I want people to see the little mystery the devs through into the game at this scene but it’s a good one. So after he lets you pick your starter hop talks about taking the gym challenge except in this game you can’t just go to a gym and fight no you see in this game they made the gym battles an actual competition and to enter you have to be endorsed by someone important and thankfully someone super important finally gives you your letter of endorsment making you 1 of 2 trainers to watch out for can you guess the other lol.

As well as such an awesome gym set up the badge it pretty awesome as it takes the form of a circular coin with a beautiful design both on the front and back.

The world

Now for me what really made me take it slow and enjoy every second of this game was the world and the NPC’s around you, you see here is where Nintendo went all out on the Pokemon side of things they took the unique aspect from Pokemon let’s go Eevee and Pikachu where you could see the Pokemon walking through the grass and paths and that was really an amazing aspect and they took that made it a million times better in sword and shield there was times I really felt like I was a Pokemon trainer journeying the region exploring every aspect of it.

But that’s not all they also took the raid system from Pokemon go made it more manageable for a limited crowd and gave us dynamax raids which I loved even more getting a chance to build your party with specific Pokemon or finding specific types it was awesome.

Final thoughts

All in all I don’t know what the hell people complained about Nintendo gave us what we wanted Pokemon on a console which is what everyone always wanted a console Pokemon that wasn’t a ds version. I personally can’t wait to see what else Nintendo has in store for us and I truly loved every minute of Pokemon sword and I highly recommend everyone who is a fan of the series and has a Nintendo switch please buy the game it’s worth it.

Thank you all be safe take care and game on!

Temtem part 2

So I’m really in love with temtem. I’ve been playing since the game released and even though I am no where near the end the bits I have experienced I truly love.

So I’m sure many of you have heard about temtem it’s a pokemon like mmo that recently released on steam from a small company that loves pokemon and wanted to give the world more, and I honestly feel they have.

Yes the game is in alpha early access and even though its priced at $34.99 it’s still worth the value and the adventure it offers.

The games biggest set up is everything is based on 2vs2 battles both against wild temtems and trainers alike and that really makes the focus of the game stronger as you need to carefully choose your temtems so that they are maximally effective, and like pokemon the game takes types into effect but I feel it could use some work on the type match up cause sometimes I’ll fight temtems that I feel should be getting hit with super effective attacks and there not.

The game offers a similar road like pokemon as you journey with your temtems to become better but it’s done in a more mature nature as you get to choose how conversations go and your rival is a straight up massive fucking prick and show off.

Unlike pokemon where half the time you could brute force the battles by having over leveled pokemon, temtem makes sure that npc’s have a fighting chance by giving them higher leveled temtems which sometimes is a massive pain in the ass since the game really makes you focus on healing items and every move you make.

So far I’m really enjoying temtem and I cant wait to discuss more with all of you so for now I’ll leave you all with this post have a great day and game on
