Stupid Never Dies PS5 Review

Hello everyone hows it going? Today i wanna talk to you about one of the most interesting games ive played all year called Stupid Never Dies but first a massive thank you to GPTRACK50 inc for sending me a copy to check out its greatly appreciated let’s talk about it.

So Firstly I played this game on PS5 yes I know a console the horror, no but seriously I like playing single player games on my couch old school style and stupid never dies gives me that chance I have a PS5 slim and the game ran great no issues what so ever and it looks beautiful on my TV and honestly the biggest part it played i didnt need no 8K graphics i just wanted to play and enjoy the vibes.

So a bit of the story you play as Davy who just so happens to be a zombie you see when monsters first appeared there was chaos but then they lived together until the great evil KoM appeared and decimated humanity leaving barely 2 percent behind yes those are the numbers the game gives you, so the monsters all leave except they leave the zombies behind cause they dont even consider them monsters at all like damn thanks for the gut punch, so Davy spends his days walking around a mall where his life takes an interesting turn and where are crazy stupid story takes place but thats it for story details you gotta play the game no more spoils from me.

So the game is an Action RPG and no let me stop you it is NOT a souls like let me repeat that it is NOT a souls like ok let me carry on the game plays like an rpg in traditional story sense where you can upgrade and enhance your character but it feels more of a rougelite when your in combat and fighting your way through monster territory its the best way to describe it you see in some combat instances you get upgrade choices like a rougelite that helps you fight monsters and every upgrade is needed you also have a very peculiar fighting style which drives you forward and makes you evolve temporarily which is a bummer I wish the combat styles were a bit more permanent but I get it dont wanna make you over powered right away.

So the underworld is progressed in levels similar to rougelites that let you pick paths as you progress some stages have certain rewards that you may need others might have the same gear you already have its all random to an extent but the levels play on a timer you have a timer that counts down as you progress and sadly if you run out of time you lose everything you have gained before hand ive come close to losing time a few runs I dont know if its my luck or what I havent noticed a way to increase the remaining time and I bet there’s a way but im never lucky with these games I always get the short straw I know lucky me right.

In my time playing ive come across a few interesting characters and its honestly hard to tell who’s evil, who’s good and who’s just trying to survive as your progressing you start wondering is this really worth it but only the ending of the game can tell you if its worth it and im not spoiling anything else.
Stupid Never Dies is fun, has a great story and honestly is probably what a lot of gamers need a pallet cleanser and something to just chill and vibe out with and honestly its a breath of fresh air and the fact you play as a zombie makes it all the more interesting I will say this the game starts slow but it picks up I promise so the game is out now on Steam and Playstation 5 sorry Xbox no word about you guys yet but check it out and enjoy it have a great day and game on.

Anvira Forge Defense

Hello everyone hows it going? Today i wanna talk to you about Anvira Forge Defense but first a huge thank you to SakrSoft and Aly for reaching out and sending me a key to check out.

Now ill be 100 percent honest i dont play tower defense games im not a big strategist so the concept has always been lost on me but this one felt different and when you look at the board it reminds me of the old plant vs zombie games where you lined up your plants and blasted away but in this game your using Golems now this next line is right out of the email…

“Anvira Forge Defense is a tower Defense roguelite where the real weapon isnt a tower, its the build you invent. Every run you combine golems spells relics and upgrade into something gloriously broken.”

Now that sounds like a lot because it kinda is but lets pull back to the tutorial yes thebgame offers a tutorial thank lord, it plays the first 4 levels of the first map then it sets you free to use your own imagination to play how you like. And trust me theres a whole lot to play with.

So there’s different towers and trust me your not lacking at all there’s a total of 24 towers so far so imagine thats the base of this equation then theres items where each item has a stronger variant and so forth so thats another lets say 100 items then you add over 20 abilities and over 40 relics so your combinations are literally limitless only yourself can limit your gameplay thats an insane amount of stuff already then you have a vast amount of enemies and a huge amount of difficulty multipliers honestly thats just a small portion of the game. Then you add in the library which is a skill tree system that you use currency you earn per run. Endless combinations.

Then the game itself after the tutorial Is the jungle map which gives you a dozen or so levels to fight through and learn and unlock things all while keeping the game play simple you set your golems and they do the rest a tower Defense auto battler and an enjoyable one at that.

Ive gotten my butt handed to me a few times with the difficulty multipliers as theres missions that you finish after each run depending on everything you used so I ended up turning them off so I could progress and see what came next.

I love the difference in mobs and how they work together to over power and kick your butt unlike other games where sometimes healers just dont do a good job.

All in all Anvira is simple and easy to learn a great game and a fun time but for some that might get old fast which I understand just editing difficulties can get boring but for those that enjoy a challenge its there at the start of every level and you tune it to the way you want nothing more nothing less anvira is out on steam for 14.99 so give it a shot you never know it might be your next time sink.

Songs of Glimmerwick

Hello everyone hows it going today i wanna talk to you about a cozy rpg that honestly i cant do it justice but first a massive thank you to Eastshade Studios for sending me a key and giving me the opportunity to check out there game so lets jump into it.

Again I cant stress this enough my thoughts do not give this game justice the game in question is called Songs of Glimmerwick this game is a cozy rpg set in a world where sound is magical and used to cast spells ranging in everything you see the world once enjoyed sound until a grumpy diety silences the world over sleep many years later some wanted that power for themselves and things didnt go as planned and now the world is giving you a chance to enjoy sounds again through magic.

So this game when you play it gives me massive Harry potter vibes the school could definitely compete with hogwarts in terms of intricacies and how one room leads to many more then just outside the school is a small village that again feels inspired by hogsmead village now this is all my opinion please dont raise your pitch forks but its honestly the best comparison I can give the game, you play at a top down view over seeing everything the game progresses day by day giving you the feelings of actually being there you go to lessons you chat with fellow students learning about them and talking about the day to day adventures. One cool feature is when your doing story related stuff the time freezes as not to rush you and giving you a chance to make sure you check and do everything you want.

My favorite part of the game even though it kicked my butt each time is learning new spells since it turns into a musical game if you have played games like rock band then you know what I mean you use the main keys of the keyboard and input the keys as notes come down giving you a chance to play them perfectly but if you mess up dont worry you can keep trying over and over until you get the score you want or nail down each key thankfully this only happens when learning new spells.
All in all Songs of Glimmerwick is an adventure waiting to be explored and enjoyed and I for one highly recommend it the change of pace from feeling rushed to being able to enjoy the game really shows that the devs want this game to make an impact and be one you cant forget again thank you to the devs for giving me the chance to check the game out its greatly appreciated thank you for stopping by take care and game on

Sacrata Playtest

Sacrata was sent to me by the fine folks at SuperLimber Studios and as always I am grateful for the chance to check out there game so lets dive in and talk about it

Sacratas playtest was fun it gave me a chance to experience the first 3 difficulty levels of the first map and I gotta say man was there a lot in there its also chaotic the game is supposed to be a blend of Diablo and path of exile but to me its a rougelite survival game like brotato and vampire survivors only difference being your character is hot as fuck just saying.

So its a rougelite the combat is centered around you getting swarmed and surviving and each stage has missions for you to complete which after the round translate into bonuses for you to use at the shops this game has skill trees crafting shops and character selection amongst other things as well.

How did the playtest feel honestly i couldn’t tell I was in a playtest the game ran smoothly looked great and left me wanting more you find bosses at certain check points of the timer which end up dropping gear that you can equip to help make you stronger.

Majority of rougelites use the same formula this one’s no different but its how the devs execute everything that counts and im looking forward to seeing the final product again thanks to the devs for giving me a chance to play thank you all and game on

Orc Incremental

Hello everyone hows it going today we are talking about one of the most fun auto battler ive played in a long time but first a massive shout out and thank you to Playsaurus for sending me out a key to check out the game lets dive in.

Now whats an auto battler in simple terms the computer controls your faction in battle you get to choose the formation and abilities but the computer does the rest ive played a few of these games but always got bored of them but this is the first one that ive had fun with the whole time i was playing it.

Now the games called Orc Incremental you control and orc army as you fight against the humans in hopes of taking over the world now the game only let’s you do a few things you can upgrade your units, unlock new stores, summon more units to add to your army or my absolute favorite throw fireballs at the humans and trust me they deserve it stingy humans trying to control everything love live our orc brethren.

The game works simple the round starts you kill and survive and earn money to use in the stores for upgrades or get more units or if you lose the round starts over again until you win and move on every 10 levels you encounter a boss which is ment to test how well your set up is doing so far and if your doing enough numbers for damage and trust me I hated the boss battles but I was thankful they were there as they showed me hey you need some work so then what do you do easy you can go back to any previous level you completed and earn more money for upgrades and i did this a few times i would go back to lvl 1 and run through everything just to gain more coins.

But what do you do when thats not enough? Well the game has a mechanic called Dark Rebirth which gives you points to use on permanent upgrades and then its off to war again. The rebirth grid is massive honestly if reminds me of the sphere grid on final fantasy X just massive so you know this game has a lot for you to fight with such a grid.
Here’s a little section right from the devs.

Main Features
• Build and scale an orc armyfrom a single grunt into a full warband
• Draft units and totemswith different rarities, roles, and synergies
• Set formations and optimize army compositionto break through progression walls
• Support battles with active spellssuch as Blizzard and Fireball
• Use Dark Rebirth to reset runs forpermanent progression bonuses
• Unlock new units, challenges, and chieftainchoices that change each run
• Benefit from offline progressand return to accumulated resources
• Face milestone bossesthat test build quality and tactical planning

This game has so much depth that honestly i wish I could control one of the fighters just to get more immersion but being the god of these orcs is enough I cant wait to see what the devs have in store for the game and what units you discover as you progress im exited this game is perfect to just sit back with some friends on discord and talk while your army goes on a warpath thank you for stopping by take care and game on.

Mortal Shell 2

Mortal Shell 2 is my first traditional souls game in a sense of swords and axes are used as well as some magic but before we talk more of my time with the game I wanna thank both Playstack and Charlotte for sending me a key to check out the game its hugely appreciated.

Now i dont have a lot of time in the game like other creators but what i do has is an approach from a souls noob and thats the perspective ill give you.

Now when I say souls noob I mean noob even though ive played elden ring, dark souls, hollow knight and remnant from the ashes i have yet to claim victory over any of those games now your probably wondering ok why did you jump into mortal shell well i am a sucker for a beautiful game and the concept of shells being your i guess you can say armor really caught my attention.

So the game starts with a back story of what happened so great diety fell to the planet and things were good until they weren’t Now your tasked with retrieving what appear to be some massive alien eggs thats the jist of what I got from the cut scene at the start then the game wakes you and its off to the races.

The whole starting area I wanna say it can be between 30 minutes to an hour depending on your skills and how much exploring you do is the tutorial area I admit i died a lot and i raged quit twice but again I suck at these games so once you pass the tutorial the game sets you on a path through some mountains with the camera doing different view points and i gotta say i love this part in the introduction this area leads you to the keep where you will spend most of the game leveling up and finding shit for and its also the starting point to the maps exploration, here you find a good amount of NPCs to talk to and trust me talk to them they have goodies and info you will need.

Once on the ground you begin and like every souls game stamina plays a massive factor in it and well there’s bosses everywhere there’s one literally right around the corner from the first beacon which if anyone played elden ring right when you come out the elevator you have that massive horse jerk its ptsd all over again man.

I played on PC and even though ive heard of other players having problems in my time spent with the game the only issues I had was the game freezing up on me during combat or entering combat and in a souls game thats a huge issue and not something you wanna have when there’s so much on the line.

The game offers a good variety between the 8 shells you get to play with and a vast amount of weapons you discover in the world there’s something for each play style out there.

Combat was one factor i kept messing up on always attacking and not dodging properly heck I even forgot what the block button was which all this combined with dying a lot lead me to grab the slayer seal and activate easy mode which sadly its not that easy you still need skills and I sadly am lacking.

The game is beautiful the world is worth exploring and its something I did everytime i killed enemies in areas I would look around and check things out.

My experience with mortal shell 2 was honestly interesting and a bit rage inducing I had fun and look forward to updates and future content if the team decides to add more to the game again thank you to Charlotte and Playstack you guys were awesome take care and have a great day and game on.

Ledgerbound

Hello everyone today we talk about Ledgerbound a fun little game that has comedy is most aspects and some what is going on moments in the next but first a huge thank you to OmniMegaSuperCorp for sending me the game its greatly appreciated also that name just screams villian central just kidding let’s dive in.

So in Ledgerbound you play as Raina an insurance adjuster who makes sure you get fucked over and is only there to make her boss and the company happy and apparently she does as shes the top performer a lot of this game you notice how messed up it is as we go through it on our daily lives but anyways.

The story starts getting juicy when the top hero party and when i mean top I mean there considered above mortals they do no wrong and kick all ass or well they did as you see they wind up dead and its your job to find a flaw in there battle so that we can deny there insane insurance claim and not pay out what could be millions.
So this is where the story gets fun and sees you in the world trying to figure shit out until the bad guys who killed the heros show up and well lets not spoil the fun shall we.

The game throws you into the role of an adventurer with a weird assortment of companions and trust me there weird as hell but it adds to the comedy value this game had me laughing and smiling the whole time while also thinking what the hell was that.

The combat is pretty simple its turned based like old school rpg games and it also uses the old elements system where water beats fire and so forth so you will wanna pay attention when fighting so that you dont screw yourself over.

This game has a lot going for it its not overly complex and even though your trying to deny a claim its fun and is worth a try the price point might be steep for many at 30 dollars but the value is there ive had my share of fun and I wanna see this game find more people so give it a shot you wont be disappointed thank you all have a great day and as always game on

Swordcery

What do you get when you take swords you add more swords then even more swords and multiply that by a billion you get swordcery the ultimate sword rougelite adventure but first i wanna give a huge thank you to Temple Door Games for sending me a copy to check out its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

Swordcery is an action rougelite with a heavy focus on swords of all styles shorts swords great swords duel swords rapiers and so on this game is the borderlands of swords and the name fits when you start discovering just how many swords you get to find and use during your runs.

So whats this game about well a giant sword drops out of the sky impaling itself into a mountain and then the world itself cause a catastrophic event and then the game begins.

So the game uses procedural generation for its world’s so not every forest level you start with is the same and trust me ive started out with quite a few since you know you die a lot each level is broken down into rooms that you clear and then choose a path to proceed each room has a different reward some offer relics others coins my favorite are the sword rooms cause you dont know what awesome sword you will get or what rarity as well.

Each level ends when you beat the boss and so far the forest boss is a hard fucker indeed as his attacks hit hard compare to the damage you do think dark souls but top down style.

Now this is a pc game but thankfully it lets you play with a controller which I highly recommend you use one since its easier to play with one in my opinion as the mouse and keyboard felt a bit complicated for my taste.

The game is fun it reminds me of games like returnal in the sense where you get one life and gotta complete the game in one life this adds a big challenge but eventually you do unlock and discover other stuff that helps you along the way i made it almost to the 4th world before i died but the swords I got to use the enemies I faced and the levels I visited all were amazing and so well done these devs really made an amazing game and i cant wait to see what gets added to the game down the road.

Swordcery is available on steam for 17.99 its not a demanding game so plenty of people will get to play it, again thank you to Temple Door Games for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated have a great day and game on.

Box Knight

What happens when your 9 to 5 finally sucks your soul out and leaves u a husk of your former self transforming you into a monster meant to slave away till the end of time well thats Box Knight and its insane fight against corporate corruption but first i wanna send a huge thank you to We Made A Thing Studios for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated so let’s talk about Box Knight.

So your corporate job has fallen taken over and transformed by the evil corruption and its up to you the Box Knight to bring balance to work again so get ready to journey across different levels fighting an insane variety of monsters and some bosses that would make Sauron proud.

First off this game literally looks like lord of the rings was a inspiration for all the low level goblins and all there abilities and tactics they use but thats just my opinion but the game does have a big variety of monsters and I love that everytime you meet a new mob a screen pops up telling you about them what they do and how to combat them sorta like a pokedex but for monsters and i think thats cool as hell and love that feature of the game.

So as I said every monster has its own gimmick I guess one mob I encountered that I instantly hated was the supervisors they summon more monsters to fight for them and are a bit of a pain since they fly so you gotta jump and butt stomp in there area to knock em down so you can kill them another one was the healer goblin I hated him so much he heals the strongest monster in the area making fights harder for you.

The bosses are honestly some of the best fights ive had in an action rougelite each having different combat styles as well as different powers each boss definitely made me think twice during the fight.

The game also has armor and weapons that you can unlock with in game currency theres helmets and the body armor each having there own stats that you can mix and match as well theres also 3 weapons for now but im sure more will be added i would love an axe or duel wield I think it would be pretty bad ass to do.

Theres also an upgrade area which focuses on your stats which is also very helpful when battles are intense.

The battles themselves aren’t so bad but can get hard with certain monsters you gotta survive 3 waves and kill everyone while monsters keep spawning until your done there’s also other office workers you gotta save which can give you xp boost or health potions.

All in all Box Knight is a blast and taking on corporate corruption is a blast i cant wait to see what the team adds to the game but i for one will be enjoying my time with box knight and cant wait to see whats in store for the game thank you for stopping by take care and game on.

Forsaken Realms Vahrins Call

What do you get when skyrim gets a budget and the souls games aren’t dark and gloomy? In my opinion you get Vahrins Call so lets talk about this action rpg that ive been checking out but fiest a massive thank you to Titan Roc for sensing me a copy to check out its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

So Vahrins Call is a Fantasy Action RPG with great emphasis on the fantasy and decent on the action you start the game in character creation make your character and then you get dropped into the tutorial area when its an actual area not a small chunk but a decent area that has signs posted that you click into and give you more information about every button press and action and that for me is a great tutorial definitely wanna see more like this.

After the tutorial you enter the real game and start your journey the reason i compare to skyrim is cause its one of the few rpg I played where I explored a good chunk and always found something new to do and in vahrins call its the same idea there’s so much to explore and find that honestly you can get lost and spend hours the map also has an item marker on the right that tells you what items are in the area and how much as well so if your a perfectionist and wanna make sure you grabbed everything there you go the game keeps track for you.

Theres also a boat load of side missions and I do mean a boat load im sitting on over 12 missions and im mainly just exploring getting a feel for the game.

The story well im sorry I dont spoil stories I like people to discover it on there own but its easy to follow as your the hero and are trying to save the realm.

One of the funniest things ive come across is during combat the human enemies will talk while they fight and my favorite line when you hit them is “your not supposed to fight back” like excuse me the fuck im not ima burn you and slash you till you drop loot like the level 1 peasant you are lmao.

Combat is simple you gain experience with the weapons and items you use as well as the magic and traps everything gives you xp where you can invest skill points into and get buffs and upgrades.

Vahrins call is fun and theres so much to do and it has a decent size map with plenty to find and do and I for one definitely recommend it if your an rpg fan as well now i did mention souls games a bit as when you die or rest in the save points enemies respawn they dont stay dead so always be ready as if your playing with sound the music changes when your being attacked.

Again I wanna thank Titan Roc for sending me a copy its been a blast and thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.
