Moonlighter Rock Dungeon nintendo switch version

Hello everyone today we talk about moonlighter now this game has been out for a while but I recently bought it for my Nintendo switch and I’ve been having fun with it let’s talk.

In moonlighter your character is an explorer at night when the dungeon is open and a shop keeper by day why the dungeon is only open at night I have no clue but thats how the game has it designed.

So the game starts you off in a tutorial run you meet an old man from your village that basically begs you to not do dungeon runs as your grandfather died in the dungeons but you refuse to listen and play on after you complete the tutorial run our friendly old man gives you your first real weapon a sword and shield to help you against the rocky foes of the first dungeon. Yes you read that right first dungeon as there’s a total of 5 that you progress through sadly im not that far yet.

So your dungeon runs consist of you clearing out rooms until you find the floor bosses hidden chamber trust me there’s a lot of rooms to explore sadly you gotta be mindful as your bag only holds 20 different items and you fill up on space real quick ive learned this the hard way. But you will know when you are close to the boss as the anti chamber room is a giant magical pool that heals you and trust me healing you will need.

After your runs if you make it out you return to your store there you can put the items you just plundered for sale so you can earn yourself some coin and trust me coin you will need. You see your the sole income to your village and its thanks to you that the town will grow as you are responsible for bringing in new shops which you will desperately need.

The first shop you bring in is the blacksmith which you will need to upgrade your weapons craft new weapons and craft new armor as well everything you need cause the monsters hit hard and sadly healing potions only do so much.
The next shop is the alchemist shop this is where you will discover all types of potions and buffs to help your runs and every little bit helps.

Some of the rock monsters are annoying but you can beat them some require some environmental usage to beat them but the floor boss is in a league of his own he hits hard and has a health bar that fits right at home with any souls game just not that hard to attack.

The rock dungeon is made up of 3 floors with the 3rd floor giving you a nice gift that makes exploring that much easier at the cost of money of course.

The game has a lot to offer and you definitely have fun im glad I picked this up for my Nintendo switch it fits right at home on this console I’ll be working my way through the game so I’ll keep you posted when I beat the next dungeon take care everyone and game on.

Dungeon Rampage

Hello everyone hows it going? Today we talk about dungeon rampage a little indie title that expects you to you guessed it rampage in a dungeon so let’s talk about it but first a huge thank you to gamebreaking studios for sending me the key its always appreciated let’s dive in.

Dungeon rampage has you fighting through different levels against hordes of monsters the game would fit in with horde games if it had more monsters. You make your way through the dungeon map finding money and xp stars along the way as well as mana cups to fill your mana.

After you make your way through and exit the level you arrive at the stat screen were your xp is added up it tells you how many enemies you killed and shows you any chest you grab along the way at the main menu you have a training area for stats a shop a tavern and the main mission area and thats it really nothing grand sadly. In the tavern your able to get new characters as long as you have the crystals for them which you gain 5 everytime you level up.
And thats about all the good of the game cause right from the start you can tell this game wasnt designed for pc which is where I played it on you see Dungeon Rampage used to be a mobile game and what they did was take out the pay part and left the rest of the grind which you will notice the game was designed to spend money with how much the characters and items cost and the fact ypu get so little money from each run but to open a chest its 800 coin or more per chest. Honestly they needed to spend more time with balancing stuff in the game between prices and rewards the pay to win aspect is still very much visible during game play.

Do I have anything bad to say about the game no cause even though it was a mobile pay to win game I still had my fun with it and in the end thats what matters did you have fun and I did I would love to see some work done on the pricing of items I can tell you right away many players will leave the game if the rewards are way to far out of reach and right now they are.

Again a big thank you to gamebreaking studios for sending me there game to check out dont give up guys I know this can be a fun time killer with some tweaks have a great day everyone and game on

Romancing Saga Minstrel Song Remastered International

A game that calls itself an rpg but in what sense let’s talk about it.

First I wanna thank red art games and square Enix for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

When you think of rpg’s you think of xp grinds lots of missions levels and items to get you through and thats what I thought of when I received this game but boy was I wrong. Theres 8 characters so I thought awesome 8 different views to experience so my first pick was a character called Gray I started out talked to people learned the basics from a kid that has tons of info then left the area into the wide open world to do a mission this was my first red flag as once I loaded in I find dinosaurs in front of me im like ok let’s do this I attack then they hit me and boom I get one shotted im like ok must be a fluke try again and nope I get one shotted so I figure im to weak and need to avoid them boy was I wrong as the npcs are so fast you cant run away I played a good hour in the same area before I raged quit and started over.

Next character was sif a female warrior who had the most hp and a variety of weapons she starts out in a frozen tundra first mission is clear out the caves from monsters running a muk in the area ok no problem I leave the village and make my way into the world find monsters in the way I fight them there manageable so I make it pass until I get to the first boss in the first cave I visit we start the fight I hit him he hits me and boom red flag number 2 as im once again one shotted I give it another 2 tries same outcome at this point I take a break and message my friend about my dilemma he was also sent a key.

And this is where the game starts to ruin you as my friend tells me that out of the 8 characters only 2 are begginer friendly so of course I have to restart for a 3rd time by this point the games already left a sour taste in my mouth but I proceed as I really wanted to experience the game so the character I pick is Albert literally the weakest health points wise so his story starts I explore a bit then find my first mission with my sister and guards we manage it no problem I learn more of the combat system and see that your stats increase during combat progression so im like cool this I can manage but boy am I wrong.

You see in a traditional rpg game you are rewarded for grinding you level up its how you learn new spells and attacks so I put that knowledge into this game and start grinding a bit when I come across monsters that are in my way but here’s where the game screws you over again you see the game has a mechanic called the event rank. And that ladies and gentlemen is the biggest middle finger this game gives you you see the game wants you to strictly follow the story and keep exploring and monster hunting to a very small minimum if you fill that event rank to much the monsters you find start getting stronger and stronger and then your shit outta luck as you start to struggle again. Now you would think no problem let me go to a store and buy new spells and weapons maybe some armor but nope red flag number 4 pops up everything is super expensive and you earn peanuts from monsters you vanquish. So now all traditional rpg sense is out the window what kinda game is this even the souls games let you grind for levels and money without any consequences so what do you do? Well I kept pushing and raging and little by little ive progressed the story and I gotta say this game is absolutely not for me I dont know who designs an rpg that punishes the players but this shouldn’t be allowed to use that title this game will be for a very niche crowd which saddens me as I really wanted to experience it and enjoy it the code they sent me was for the nintendo switch version and the game fits perfectly on it ive had no issues that might happen with other titles but sadly this game just isnt for me I hope they find there crowd but I cannot in good faith recommend this game it is to difficult and after a while feels more like a chore then an actual game.

I hope there able to find there crowd it plays wonderfully on the switch and could be a great handheld experience but thats all for now thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Gods Death & Reapers Alpha 4 test

First off I wanna thank wolcen studios for inviting me to this alpha test i had a blast checking out gods death and reapers let’s get into it.

Not many game cinematics capture me right from the start anymore but when I saw the intro video to GDR I had to find out more the scene starts with your character is a 1 vs 5 battle everything is going good until you get stabbed through the heart from behind you drop to the floor dead then out of no where a blinding light surrounds you and your soul starts to leave your body that is until these dark tendrils appear out from underneath you and drag you down into the abyss thus ending the cinematic and im sorry my explanation does not do it justice its something you need to watch.

You wake up in an old Gothic looking world where a voice is telling you how to proceed pushing you to survive and trust me survive you must after some introduction combat and narrative you meet death himself the master of the afterlife appreciative somewhat of your survival he tells you this is your new home an old decrepit castle waiting to be rebuilt from your journeys you see this is where the game starts to smack you around like every other extraction game except in this one you dont get guns or grenades no they went with a much more brutal approach swords javelins and shields and staffs and warhammers this game wants close combat it wants the brutality thats expected when a sword pierces you and sends blood splattering everywhere this is a top down extraction combat game and I for one have loved everything ive seen so far in this alpha test and for an alpha the game is at a great point.

The game throws you into the pit which is the training area so you can find basic stuff and get a feel for the game which is a huge plus no need to rush without getting a feel for stuff, your home base has about 11 different post that must be rebuilt in order for you to use them the main one being the portal which sends you off into the world to fight against monsters and players for loot and survival and trust me survival is key here. Theres also a shop where you can buy basic gear to get you started no free kits here you either get stronger and take it or get lucky and escape with it, which you will find some cool gear in the world ive found a few warhammers and javelins as well as some sweet armor to boost my stats. The black Smith helps to upgrade your weaponry which you will wanna do if you want stronger attacks which let’s be real its a pvpve focused game you wanna make sure your ahead of the fight. Another post is a challenge post where different challenges become available in order for you to earn extra coin let’s face it lots of people will need coin for new gear myself being one of them. Theres plenty more to discover but your gonna have to play the game for yourself in order to find out what they are.

Leader boards the game has a global board for you to see how ypu stack up against the rest and trust me when you go through and see some of these players its a bit nerve wracking and makes you wonder if your gonna come across one of them on your journey which im sure is a huge possibility.

The game is set in a Nordic theme you get 3 maps starting in helhiem and ending in asgard from what the challenges state it seems each map will have different enemies.

The enemies you fight are pretty intense you have swordsman to archers to magic users thats the basic enemies then you have bigger elite enemies that hurt when they hit you and offer the biggest variety in the game then there’s mini bosses that have health bars and well will kick your ass if your not watching or being careful.

The extraction is where the game gets even more tense once you find an obelisk you activate it and a message pops up telling you that you have to kill X amount of enemies and they swarm you fast even elite enemies pop up keeping you on your toes moving is a must or you will lose fast if you manage to survive well you get to extract and return to home-base with your spoils of war.

God’s death & reapers has the making of a fun extraction game and for an alpha the only issue i had was the wait times to find a match felt a bit long but im sure this will be fixed later on I cant wait to see what this game and the devs have in-store for us down the road i am grateful to have been given an opportunity to take part in this alpha. Thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Night Swarm

Hey everyone hows it going today I wanna talk to you about a little gem called night swarm a vampire rougelite thats actually interesting with its own twist, let’s talk about it, But first I wanna thank Fubu Games for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated.

So night swarm is another one of those vampire survivor like rougelite you are Roderic a vampire assigned with bringing back the glory of your people and castle against the war that threatens to engulf everything. So the game feels like a giant board game the characters all have a base like a board game and they walk the same by jumping around I thought this was awesome it made me smile seeing something different.

The game has a skill tree, relics, artifacts and a bunch of other stuff you discover along the way there’s a giant map divided into parts you must unlock and make your way through but after selecting which part you wanna go to you have a path that has many choices and those are the levels you will be playing in this war. The levels have a lot of different factors to them some are boss fights others you fight against elites but there’s also quest to progress the story and so forth.

You also have companions that will offer different boost to you during your runs so your not alone sadly they dont attack which would have been more helpful then just a buff but thats just my 2 cents. Theres also a bunch of companions you unlock using the reputation you earn.

For mission progression you continue along until you see exclamation points floating around certain lvls so far the story seems interesting from the little bit ive gotten from it i do hope more is explained since now I have vampires and werewolves trying to kill me go figure

If your a fan of rougelites and love vampires then this game is for you there’s no price yet as the release date is December 4th but there is a demo live right now give it a shot and enjoy thanks for stopping by take care and game on.

Dark Quest 4

First off I wanna thank brain seal for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated now let’s talk about dark quest 4.

Tho my time has been brief I have learned a lot from the game, it feels like a classic d&d vibe as you progress around the map with your pieces as the dungeon master looms over you watching your every move, there’s treasures and traps and a skull that helps and hates you but the game has its moments.

So the game throws you into the intro mission where you discover your first 3 characters you explore the dungeon until your able to make your way out thus starting your journey to destroy the big bad guy. At base camp you sit around a camp fire with 5 npcs around you all waiting to help you during your journey from a trainer to a merchant an alchemist to a blacksmith each npc offers a different form of help for your journey and that help comes in the form of quick play cards that you can use in combat from healing to damage to a bit of everything in between.
The journey is divided into tiles on a map that you must progress through in order to reach the end and save the world but the game wont make it easy even with me moving the difficulty sliders around I had a hard time surviving my journeys and would lose 1 of my companions making the rest of my journey that much harder.

The enemies dont play around the undead hordes want you gone and they will make sure your gone if possible the zombie chickens are the worse cause if they surround you then they will screw your run up so fast its not even funny.

Dark quest 4 gives off old school game nights with it playing like a board game its fun the combat is easy to learn and there is no learning curve everything is right there simple and easy to learn and play the game is fun in its own ways.

I played on the nintendo switch I didnt have any issues and the game felt right at home even in hand held mode so if your looking for some nostalgic feels then dark quest 4 is it I give this game a solid 6/10 thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

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.

Decktamer

Decktamer is what you get when you mix magic and rougelite let’s talk about it. I wanna thank PR Hound and assemble entertainment for sending me a copy greatly appreciated.

So decktamer what is it well its a rougelite but its a deck battler you start with a set amount of monster cards and while exploring you gotta remember to tame monsters so that you can keep progressing and I gotta say man did I get my ass handed to me multiple times. The rouge aspect comes into play with prizes after each round and choosing what path to follow and I gotta say its hard even after the tutorial and playing on easy the game is hard.

The game immediately throws you into a tutorial so you dont gotta worry about going in blind the game takes care of you it puts you through 5 rounds of combat and item usage to give you a basic understanding of everything best part is how everything is shown to you in a book style as if writing a story as you play.
The monsters are insane looking they have health points and speed points we all know what health points do but speed points determine who attacks first the higher your points the better giving you a slight advantage unless your fighting some crazy strong monsters and trust me you will be fighting them.

The monster cards also have effects and abilities so its basically a traditional tcg but with some sick looking cards and power to play with. After some runs you get items from prizes and if you tamed a monster it shows you what they were best part you can tame more then 1 monster per round as long as you have the necessary items.

Decktamer takes the rougelite genre and gives it its own flavor the game is hard and challenging but not to the point where you rage quit constantly its a good game and if you like tcg style games this one might be your next addiction. Thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

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.

One more dungeon 2

So I’ve been trying to play this dungeon crawler and it’s not a bad game for what it’s trying to be but it’s obvious it still needs work.

Your a prisoner in a slug kingdom and in order to win your freedom you must conquer the maze which doesn’t seem bad right pretty simple rules beat the maze find the boss kill it and your free right it’s what I thought until I started playing.

You start in a jail cell you get to explore the area a bit you see the slug king his guards and some other small areas but there’s no indicators telling you much of anything there’s a priest near a donation box that does… you guessed it nothing then just passed him is a statue room with 7 pedestals all empty but one when you approach it seems to be you the player your looking at a statue of yourself which seems pretty cool so onto the maze then.

The maze is randomly generated which I’m assuming is to try and produce more playtime and different runs which to me is a massive plus a different run each time is better then repeating the same stage over and over you get to explore new rooms long hallways different doors and portals all of which offer something the basic 3 monsters you find are a giant rat a flying bat and different skeletal solders not bad a bit of variety until you fight them and realize they take your 35 points of life down in 3 hits but you would think basic combat would be good I mean you start with a sword and staff but the biggest issue with the game you find the minute you start moving the camera sucks it’s trash compared to other games indy included it’s so clunky that to get any movement you gotta move the right thumb stick over completely there’s no light movements at all and that makes combat even worse there’s no lock on system just free movement which would be fine if you could increase movement speed but you can’t it makes everything so infuriating that you lose interest immediately, the game itself it’s premise the art style it’s all good but it feels they invested more time with looks then getting the movement down at its current stage you do yourself more harm trying to play then waiting for a fix I hope they can fix it I would love to go back and play more but sadly movement is something I won’t compromise on I do thank ratalaika games for sending me the key but please go back and spend sometime on making the movement smoother add some control sliders something

Thank you all for your time and game on
