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.

The Spell Brigade

Spell brigade is my newest rougelite and so far one of my favorites it adds its own twist to the genre and hits a home run let’s talk about it.

Spell brigade is another rougelite but with its own flavor the biggest being multi-player yes you heard me right multi-player you can have lobbies of 1 2 3 or 4 players and the game is just as fun with any number of players. Your also a wizard which let’s be real wizards are fucking cool and make everything even better. You also unlock a lot as you play and I do mean a lot there’s enchantments to help boost your starting stats which you unlock more after each run it seems you also have different wizards to play as and unlock more as you progress.

The first wizard is Reginald a calm dude kicking butt with his astral orbs then the second you unlock is the sun mage which has some killer powers on his own every wizard has powers to make your run more interesting and fun and there’s plenty to unlock and play as. The game also has quest you help make the game more worthwhile and interesting as they progress while you play and dont worry about anything else. There are 4 realms to play in and 3 difficulties to master which we know how that goes.

This game has a lot to offer and a road map detailing the future of the game im excited and cant wait to play more of this game now all I need is to get some friends to get this game as well, this game falls into my recommened category cause its fun can be played with friends and is only 9.99 on steam

So thanks for stopping by take care and game on

Deadly Days Roadtrip

Hello everyone today I wanna talk about another rougelite called deadly days roadtrip. Its an interesting take on the genre and its not bad let’s talk.

So you start on a map page choosing which path to take then it drops you in a level where you must scavenge the area for gas and you cannot leave said area until you have a full tank of gas which makes it a bit stressful. You defend yourself against a horde a zombies now at first there not that bad you have a dash and can get away in a quick bind but if your not fast enough it turns to night and thats where the problems come in you have different special zombies popping out and there a lot worse then the normal zombies.

Now this game incorporates aspect from a few games for example you get a bookbag where you can place weapons and buffs to help you out on your mission but you start very small and only a pistol which is not very useful.

The game is fun and challenging it has a lot of different aspects then most rougelites and does its best to stand out in an over saturated market so if you wanna add another rougelite to your collection consider picking up deadly days roadtrip thank you 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.

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.

Castle of Blackwater

So if your a fan of among us you should definitely check out castle of Blackwater its the same concept but with more visual flair to it.

The game Max’s out at a 10 man lobby but this time you get 2 bad guys and a werewolf which is pretty bad ass if im being honest. The game offers a variety of missions to complete in order to finish the round missions are broken down by difficulty instead of just a list of task and I think thats kinda fun as it adds a slight challenge to everything.

There’s not much for me to say about this game if you have played games like among us then your all set here the game offers its own flavors to keep it feeling new and the best part its free yes you heard me right the game is free on steam so grab it give it a go and have fun guys take care 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.

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.
