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.

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.

Rise of Industry 2

Rise of industry 2 is a city builder unlike any other I’ve played i wanna thank the devs over at somasim and kasedo games for sending me a copy greatly appreciated.

So let’s dive in first i love a game that offers you a tutorial that to me let’s me know the devs are trying to reach as many players as possible tutorials are huge in games and I wanna see more of them now onto some bits of the game.

Rise of industry 2 is exactly what it sounds like an industrial city builder where you build up every aspect of the industry to make a profit and grow and that’s not a bad thing specially when the game really makes you feel like your a C.E.O or some higher up working the numbers and contracts. And I mean it I really felt that way you have to issue deliveries to different parts of your buildings from one another then if you need something and cant make it you send out a contract agent to negotiate the contracts for you so you can get what you need and you actually get to write off the yes or no on the contract its not automatic another great way the game makes you feel like a higher up and i for one do not mind feeling that way.

So the game gives you a nice chunk of land to work with and you get to mark squares off for each aspect of the industry but they fill up fast man and I do mean fast before you know it that square has 5 or 6 buildings that all work in unison and you only add more so definitely be conscious of where you plant your buildings you might need more room for another one.

I cant tell you how insane it is to play this game there’s so much to do and so much to learn that you really have to concentrate so that you get everything straight and dont hurt your industry and yes you can hurt your industry, all in all if your a fan of city builders this game is a must play which keeps you on your toes and that is what sets it apart from other city builders that focus on industry level games.

All in all it’s give this game a solid 8 out of 10 and add it to the recommend list its worth it and has plenty to keep you busy as well as playing for hours to come thank you for stopping by have a great day take care and game on.

Wizdom Academy

Hey everyone today I wanna talk to you about this sweet little builder sim called Wizdom Academy, if your a Harry potter fan and a fan of wizards and magic this game might be up your alley let’s dive in.

So to start off you pick your headmaster and school colors and symbol then from there your dropped into the map and what little tutorial is implemented starts guiding you through and I’ll be honest the tutorial could use a deeper guide then the little bit it talks about. After your on the map your first task is to set up the mana tree which is the foundation to your school I thought that was pretty cool having some magical nature help you, you get to build hallways and classrooms as well as dormitories and teachers lounge the only thing I didn’t like so far other then the tutorial is the little space your given to place things on the map but in this game you build up as well but the tutorial does nothing at all to show you and that’s a big let down as most of the time your trying to figure things out another is the income is based solely on the students you have so you constantly need to have a high amount of students in order to survive.

The demo i played was fun and had some interesting events at one point I was attacked by a horde of goblins then at another point I had to deal with a mana drought and keep my school going there is a research tree which unlocks new classes and stuff for your school to make it look nicer.

I know it was a demo but if the main release is anything close to the demo then the tutorial needs a good amount of work, that aside I still recommend the game it was fun and I think the first game where your making a magic school i look forward to playing the game on full release and I hope you guys give it a chance take care and game on

Yasha Legends of the Demon Blade Demo

How’s it going guys today we talk about yasha legends of the demon blade demo I wanna thank 7QUARK for sending me a key to the demo I gotta say I had a blast with it let’s talk about it.

So the demo is the first 3 bosses and areas of the game you have a variety of enemies and you play a ninja named shigure the game is a rougelite so you know there’s a lot to do and deal with and the demo shows that off brilliantly my first couple runs I kept dying to the first boss a giant crab cause I was very impatient and just wanted to hack and slash but this game will kick your ass if you don’t use your head the perry system stunning the bosses so you can attack light and heavy attacks to switch between and a multitude of other things to learn about and use in game after a few tries I beat the crab boss and moved to the next area which added newer enemies and more stuff to contend with for a demo there is so much to do I honestly didn’t think it was a demo until after I beat the 3rd boss and the thank you screen popped up it left me wanting more honestly and I hope to get more when the game fully releases in April all fingers crossed if your on steam give this demo a try it’s a new spin on the rougelite scene and it does it very well.

The game will offer multiple replayable stories as there will be 3 characters maybe more to come as well non stop action as you master an array of new demon swords and infuse them along the way to make them stronger so you can survive longer unlock dream recipes as you slash enemies and gain ingredients for new meals with buffs to help you out

This game has so much to offer and it will be a great addition to your library i hope to see you all at launch have a great day and game on

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

Hotel Architect

Hey guys how’s it going recently I was part of a playtest for a small indie game called hotel architect and let me tell you that game is gonna be a hit with the city builders and sim builders crowd let’s talk a bit.

I’m bummed out I wasn’t able to get any footage or pics of the game what I played had me so hyped I didn’t wanna ruin the game for myself which is easy to do. So the playtest had us in a tutorial mode until you got used to it and completed the first few bits of the mission then it gave you free reigns and unlocked sandbox mode but man there was so much to do and so much more to be added you can get contracts to help bring in more customers or make money from other agencies you also get ratings from customers and the big one food and hotel critics I thought this was top notch in the game bringing that real life feel to all your hard work. If you have played games like two point hospital then you will fit in here you make a room designated with what you wanted either a bedroom a gym bathroom or restaurant there were more options but they were under lock and key this round, hotel expansion will be a bit tricky cause depending on the region you can only go so high or so wide which is pretty cool another aspect to give you the real experience feel which I loved about this game it didn’t disappoint.

Hotel architect doesn’t have a launch day yet but if your a fan of Sim builders this game is a must for your collection and from what I’ve played so far is one I highly recommend be given a chance thank you all for stopping by take care and game on

Car Manufacture

Hey guys so I started playing this game called car manufacture i saw a YouTube video on it once and fell in love and wa Ted to try it out for myself.

So it’s a car business builder so far I’ve been doing free play I pick a state to start and off to the races so in the game you have a lot to do first you gotta build your warehouse where you build the cars then you need a research department to find blueprints of different models best part you get to name the cars you discover I love it makes you feel like a real car maker after that you need a sales office to show case the car you are working on and to sell this is where you get to price the car and release it to the public I love the small details to these things watching your sales people negotiate with customers is awesome specially when you see the green numbers floating up from just buying a car.

The game also has a big research tree this is a big focus of the game it’s how you unlock more workers training rooms and equipment as well as repair stations paint booths and so much more for the little bit of time.ive spent playing on free play I’ve gotten a good hang of it but this game really makes you think twice with every move I’m playing at 2 times speed and have humans for builders you can get robots but I’m partial to hard work and taking honor in your craft also when your starting out your sales team is hit or miss people will complain cars to expensive or the sales man was rude it really feels like your in your own world trying to balance your money and make sure you don’t go under I can’t count how many times I took out loans just to stay afloat but now I have a steady income different varieties and good workers.

I still have plenty to unlock to help improve my staff there’s training items that level them up as you go so it’s good to invest in decent staff in the start and then train the rest when you get to that point, the research tree is huge it has 23 tiers so far of cars to unlock and even with 4 research stations at once it’s slow then you gotta pick what cars you wanna showcase and sell there’s some areas that I wish had more room then others your limited to 6 show cases I think so you gotta make sure the car you put there is worth it. I haven’t unlocked robotics yet but it is an option that I’ll look into later on for now my mechanics are safe and have good employment.

I’ve reached a point where my research has slowed down a lot i don’t know if that’s cause the game is missing stuff or if I’m going to fast i have 4 research tables.

The game has the ability to train workers but I’ve noticed the only worker that doesn’t have any training are the drivers which is a bit messed up in my opinion I do enjoy watching my workers get better at there jobs so I hope they add some for the drivers, expansion kinda seems pointless you can pretty much do everything in a small area my factory has room to make 7 cars but my sales floor only let’s me display 6 models which is a bummer so I have 2 factory stations making 1 car which is my most expensive one. You max out workers at 100 which is ok but more need to be added specially if you wanna make a huge factory some upgrades on the tree feel pointless after a while and are sorta just a waste of money in my opinion I wanna see more upgrades that are actually useful.

I did come across my first issue I was testing out a robot arm and everything was ok at first but then it stopped working and no matter what I did it wouldn’t work so I sold it and went back to good old human labor.

I wish you had more save slots but you don’t it’s just 1 save profile so if you wanna start a new game you lose your old stuff at least that’s how it seems to me I have to do more checking on that I’ll update down the line.

The game is fun offers a good amount of things for what’s available but once you get 1 or 2 popular cars your making money and then it kinda feels empty I’m at the point where even if I expanded the property it’s pointless cause of how much money I’m making I hope the game adds a lot more stuff I’ll be keeping an eye on future updates but that’s all for now everyone 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

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.
