Grind Survivors

Hello everyone today I wanna talk to you about grind survivors but first huge thank you to Pushka Studios for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

So Grind Survivors is an action rougelite bullet hell game and does it live up to those tags the game starts you off on a forest level with difficulty 1 you start out the usual you kill enemies gain xp to level up and get more abilities each ability has a chance of evolving and becoming stronger which is a big benefit as your being surrounded, the game also offers alters where you get small stat boost that can make or break a run.

Ive made it to difficulty 3 on the forest I have yet to unlock a new map because honestly the game doesn’t tell you which is bogus cause for the characters and other difficulties it tells you how to unlock them not a fan of that to be honest.

I played on a ps5 and the game played beautifully no lag issues no stutters even when having hundreds of enemies on screen at once the game ran beautifully and you can tell the devs put in a lot of work.

Theres also a skill tree which let’s you increase certain stats with points you get from each run, as well as a forge to make your weapons stronger.

All in all the game does a great job keeping you entertained and making sure your able to survive as you progress i look forward to seeing what else the devs add to the game thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Chickenauts

Hey everyone hows it going? Today we bring you chickenauts but first a massive thank you to sneaky box, kautki cave for sending me a key its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

So what is Chickenauts its a rougelite bullet hell with a story and one thats honestly pretty interesting you see you wake up to some aliens taking your chickens only problem is the aliens are chickens as well so you grab your shotty and venture into there ship to get your flock back. So during my first run I did decent found a survivor from my farm and saved them as well as my first special chicken which made me laugh when I saw who it was. Theres a few special chickens each with there own abilities and names and honestly they really made the game funny for me there’s also other survivors that will like other games help you in your progress.

Now if you have played games like moonlighter or cult of the lamb where you clear rooms thats the style this game uses the waves spawn you fight and survive pick up your loot and move to the next room now in my play time I havent made it to the end ive come across a few chickens that just kill me fast and with only 3 hearts you dont really get to enjoy the run in my opinion.

For a rougelite and bullet hell its not like the standard games where you kill get xp and level up and get new powers here you find a mad scientist chicken that for some reason is helping you and he mutates the chicken thats with you in hopes of surviving longer.

This game has a great take on the genre and playing as a farmer trying to get his flock is just gold as a chicken owner myself I definitely enjoyed my time with this game and cant wait to see what gets added into the game.

Again big thank you to the devs I look forward to future updates thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Movierooms Cinema Management playtest

So I was recently invited to check out the movierooms playtest and I gotta say its reminded me a whole lot of hotel architect so let’s dive in but first huge thank you to the devs over at Mad Pumpkins for sending me a code i greatly appreciate it.

So the game is started out with the story mode to learn the basics its starts you out in the early 1900s and you learn how to build and staff your theater then it has you play a bit so you can see how things work which isnt bad you hire your staff build your rooms place the main items you need and boom you have your theater nothing huge nothing major just simple place and go.

The game has side quest you can try and do while your running your theater which earn you money but the quest I think were bugged for me as they didnt wanna acknowledge the stuff I already had placed i also couldn’t demolish stuff so I think that option was bugged as well.

The playtest ran great aside from those 2 issues placement was easy and the tutorial was easy to understand I didnt feel overwhelmed by anything and thats how I like these types of games to feel easy to understand and comprehend and hard to master the devs have done a great job with this playtest and I cant wait to see what’s next for this game thank you all have a great day and game on

Over the Top WW1

Hey everyone hows it going? Hope your all good today we talk about a new indie multiplayer game thats kicking major butt called Over the Top WW1 but first I wanna thank the team over at Flying Squirrel Entertainment for sending me a key its greatly appreciated.

So what is over the top ww1 well its a massive multiplayer game with 200 player battles all taking place during ww1 and I gotta say this game is fun as hell right now every match ive played has been different and intense my worse match i died almost 30 times my best match I got just over 20 kills and as someone who’s played call of duty and battlefield this game stands on its own.

So there’s about 9 different classes to choose from but the main one is rifleman and I tell you man is it hard to spot some players one minute your running for a better position next thing you know boom your down and the killing shot came from so many meters away from a guy that could be in plain sight so you definitely gotta pay attention to your every move.

I think the part I like the most is you get to build trenches to move around in better cover but man does it take a bit its something thats better done with 3 or 4 players maybe more so you can move through everything faster. Watching the earth open up in real time while you dig is amazing and definitely well done.

The combat is solid you actually die in 1 shot unlike other games sometimes depending on where the shot hits you do go down and have a chance at being revived or its instant death but either way its fun. And the banter the chaos from your team mates just hearing everyone talking as you progress its all fun which is how gaming should be fun.

Right now this game is only out on steam I hope the devs are able to expand down the road I actually wanna see this multiplayer game succeed and get bigger yes I recommend it yes its fun and definitely worth your time thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Narco Check Demo

So today I checked out the demo for upcoming Narco Check i wanna thank the folks over at Craftone Games for sending me the demo its greatly appreciated let’s dive in.

So the demo was short maybe about 30 minutes of game play but in those 30 minutes I learned enough to know I wanna play more.

So your sent to an abandoned airport somewhere in Columbia and your job is to bring it back to life this is the start of the demo and I assume the game as well so you start cleaning up the out side taking out the trash then you move inside and get the place working again you turn on power then name your airport and boom its open season.

The demo takes place across 3 in game days where you learn how to function and figure stuff out if you ever played papers please you will feel right at home you match the information from there id to what’s on the computer if everything is good to go you let them pass if not you reject them.

Eventually you get to the point where you start finding contraband and you can have people arrested and then charge them for release it was awesome.

This game has huge potential and I cant wait to see the final product I had so much fun running my own airport keeping things cleaned and taking care of customers the demo is out on steam so check it out thank you craftone again for sending me this demo much appreciated have a great day and game on.

Marathon Server Slam

So yesterday was the first day to bungies new game Marathon and there server slam. I went in with some buddies to test it out and here are my initial thoughts.

The design in the menus definitely didnt like it gave me a headache looking at it i felt like I was watching an old Vhs movie the colors didnt help at all either.

The User interface needs work everything was so confusing and I felt everything blended in you have one menu option on the bottom left the other on the top right then in the middle left like god damn pick one spot and leave it at that fuck sakes.

The items are even more confusing since there mainly just different colors and while your in combat you dont really get a chance to read what shit is so you know what you need.

The pvp was very lackluster in the whole time i was playing we only came across 4 pvp battles and I felt that wasnt nearly enough.

The weapons were fun and the movement was ok. I know this was just the first day but these are my thoughts ill keep you posted as the server slam progresses

Astrobotanica

Hey everyone hows it going today we check out Astrobotanica I wanna thank the team at Space Goblin Studio for sending me a key its greatly appreciated.

So Astrobotanica is a survival game in most aspects so you wake up crashed landed on a planet the tutorial or what’s available of it tells you what you need to do in this game your an alien who crashed on earth so your exploring to survive you find your scanner scan some plants to identify them then you go to your ship put the plants in the juicer make a drink and go from there.

Each drinks potency depends on how many plants you used to make it so experiment to get different outcomes.

The. Your tasked with finding a local to learn about him so you find a cave man who’s sick bringing you your next task which the wording in the game makes this part confusing but after finding the plant I needed and making him a strong enough drink hes healed and thus ends the tutorial which honestly it was crap the tutorial was short didnt explain nearly enough or detailed enough they expect you to read everything which in some sense is ok but most people learn by doing not reading.

So I explored the island there’s caves and temples beaches and animals to find and explore through which some animals are ok they will run away the kiwi birds specifically will attack you and of course there’s no way to defend yourself you either run away or throw rocks and hope it scares them.

Honestly for a survival game this game needs a lot of work and I cant in good faith recommend it maybe down the line after a few updates things will be better it has a great base and concept but the survival part needs work this is all my opinion and take it with a grain of salt you might have a better time then I did the games available on steam now thank you for stopping by take care and game on

Romeo is a Dead Man

Hello everyone hows it going today I wanna talk to you about a game ive been enjoying my time with called Romeo is a dead man but first huge thank you to GrassHopper Manufacture Inc for sending me the game its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

The game puts you into the shoes of main protagonist Romeo Stargazer ok right off the bat killer last name like damn the name alone screams this dude has a story so let’s try and talk about it. Again your Romeo a guy from a quiet town in Pennsylvania where our game starts us off you see hes out on patrol one night just talking with his partner when they encounter a body in the middle of the road that body turns out to be a white devil a monster that attacks Romeo essentially killing him and starting us out on our insane fucked up journey.

What is our journey well after Romeo dies hes saved by his grandfather using some future tech shortly after the space time continuum is fractured and everything goes into chaos you find out the girl of your dreams is somehow connected to it so you end up joining a special unit of the FBI that handles space time issues so you set out.

The game does a wonderful job with the intro telling you about the different evil people you come across at first and of course ending them along the way until it drops you in chapter 1 which I guess you could call it the tutorial chapter there you learn about everything the game has to offer now I played on pc and honestly between how much you have to memorize of the keyboard layout and the weird inputs I ended up just grabbing a controller and switching which might be the better option honestly.

So chapter one takes place in a weird forest you make your way through killing random zombies oh yeah the game is a zombie game I wish I had known that when I got it cause im not a fan of zombies games at all but I managed to push through we reach our first puzzle area where the game drops you in and out of sub space thankfully there so far you find no enemies and its all just different paths and puzzles to figure out once your done though your dropped back into regular space or time or at least what’s not sub space and you progress chapter one finishes with you finding Juliet well not your version but a random time criminal version and you know there’s a fight coming and boy is there a fight as this chick transforms into this ugly ass headless abomination thats the size of a 2 story house so let the boss fight commence.

The boss fight is straight forward take down the massive health bar by hitting the boss with combos and gun shots each boss has a weak spot in the form of a blue flower keep shooting it and eventually it explodes and does massive damage.

After the boss fight chapter 1 ends short and simple your then brought aboard the FBI ship where you will be spending a good amount of game time when your not out looking for bad guys to fight and there’s a lot to learn in this ship and learn you will as you meet new people learn new things and save your progress.

Romeo is a dead man offers its own unique take to the zombie genre and its well done the story is interesting the combat is smooth and the game has a lot to discover and unlock the game is divided into chapters and they dont feel overwhelming the game has 3 difficulties to choose from so your adventure is set to your own style do you want easy for story or hard for combat you pick.

During my time playing the game I didnt encounter any issues its ran smoothly on my pc and felt great with both mouse and keyboard as well as controller I cant wait to see what’s next for Romeo and the devs at GrassHopper thank you all for stopping by take care and game on

Red dust colony

Hey everyone today I wanna talk about a colony builder that I came across on YouTube and was able to get access to the demo so huge thank you to Lorin and Cristina Atzberger for the key its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

As I said before red dust colony is a colony sim set on the red planet which ima assume is Mars even tho the game doesn’t specify it. So the game starts with your 3 colonists arriving on the planet and being tasked to survive.

Now let me stress this out what I played was a very early demo preview so much of the game isnt ready but there’s enough ready that you can easily play for a few hours. Again its a demo dont shoot me.

So there is a tutorial and its pretty good it tells you what to do and build as well as gives you a wall of information if you click on the appropriate tabs so there’s plenty to learn, resources are around you in the form of ice iron copper and the games version of stone I forgot what its called.

The game thankfully starts you out with a good chunk of stuff so your not losing your mind trying to get things going so you dont die which thankfully during my time playing I didn’t lose any colonists unlike other games ive played.

The game is visually pleasing the graphics are nice for the type of game it is and colors are not over bearing or bright there just the right tone which for a game your gonna spend hours looking at is a relief, my favorite aspect is watching the colonists work and build as they survive in this harsh new world.

Now the game also has random events right now the only one working is dust storms and let me tell you the level of detail to these storms is amazing blanketing everything in dust and cutting your power since clouds cover the sun its amazing and I cant wait tonsee what’s next.

I managed to reach 25 in game days with no issues or bugs no glitches the demo is very nicely polished.

I spent a few hours with the demo and I gotta say I enjoyed every minute I got lost playing and didnt wanna stop I cant wait to see what the devs have in store for the game I look forward to this game reaching launch and 1.0 readiness so everyone keep your eyes out this game will launch on steam so wishlist it now thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Crimson Capes

Hello everyone today I wanna take you on my epically failed adventure but first huge thank you to Poor Locke for sending me the key its greatly appreciated.

Crimson Capes is a story of betrayal as the witches of the kingdom have turned against the king and its up to your group the crimson Capes to destroy the traitors and bring justice to the kingdom.

You hunt down witches and monsters while exploring a 2D fantasy world of swords and sorcery in a pixel art format.

Your guild the crimson Capes leads the charge in this hunt there’s 4 members to the guild but you take control of there leader the game offers online Co op which I wasnt able to test out as well I didnt have anyone else that had access to the game and for a souls game the fact this has native Co op is pretty cool but im sure the difficulty increases as well.

Within the first 10 minutes you encounter a necromancer boss fight which is a 2 stage battle thankfully I was able to beat him or I wouldnt have been able to progress at the games bonfire which is a patch of blue flowers you get to level up and check things out one being the map yes a souls game with a map thank you and its a big map plenty to explore and do.

Now I did explore in my time playing I encountered 5 bosses but only able to defeat 2 of them the one boss which was part of a mission I couldn’t attack at all literally from the minute the fight start hes charging you and doesn’t let you breath worse the game doesn’t have a dodge roll you can only parry attacks and even that is an issue when the enemy is able to just keep attacking you.

Now im not a souls gamer I never liked the genre but I do my best to try the games out and give them a fair chance but the boss battles in this game aren’t even close to being fair so if your a fan of the souls genre jump in pick the game up im sure you will get further then me fights aside the game is beautiful and has an interesting story that actually made me wanna know more but when a boss kills me within 3 seconds of our fight starting im not wasting my time anymore thank you all and game on
