DragonSword Awakening

Hello everyone today i wanna talk to you about a gem of an rpg ive been playing called DragonSword Awakening but first I wanna send a huge thank you to the team at HOUND13 for sending me the game its greatly appreciated.

Now there are rumors around that this was supposed to be a gacha game but everything was taken out is that true I dont know everything ive played and done so far has been acquired from the game itself the only things I see that cost money are some costumes and the deluxe edition upgrade other then that everything is in game well on to the show then.

So ive been playing deagonsword at a decent pace nothing huge im sitting at 10.3 hours as of this writing but expect that number to grow as I definitely have not scratched the surface of the game.

The game follows Lute after he crashes his ship onto the continent of Orbis in search of meeting with his family but fate has other plans for him as he meets castella and Johnny members of the Johnny mercenaries who are on a crazy quest to complete and trick lute into helping which is where the game starts letting you take over and a simple tutorial progresses you through the area. The game quickly enters you into combat and the combo system which makes combat unique in this game as each character offers there own status effects and combat style.

Soon after your back in town being dragged into a temporary trial with the Johnny group and this is where the story starts to unfold and so far its an amazing story one that has a good amount of plot twist.

The world of Orbis is big the map is huge and you slowly discover it as you go by finding these ancient windmills that clear up the fog in the pertaining area, there are also statues of the goddess that you must rebuild and each statue not only heals you but doubles as a warp point to make travel quicker and trust me travel you will but the game doesnt make you suffer as the game gives you this awesome beetle mount that helps get you around and the best part you use them to climb so you can get to higher areas.

The game also has cooking which is how you make healing items and theres also a blacksmith which helps craft gear so far though I havent seen any new weapons so im not sure if there is any.

Onto the game itself the game is very colorful the graphics feel a bit like genshin lots of colors and beauty the game plays amazing I havent encountered any stutters or frame drops exploring is fun and the cities are filled with life as you explore them you can actually talk to people as some even have quest you can do to earn more xp and materials.

The variety in monsters has been fun from different goblin types to what look like humanoid hyenas and even golems hiding in rock formations as well as bosses and some insane fights that are part of the story.

Ive had an amazing time with the game so far and I definitely recommend it if your a fan of rpg games and dont mind some exploring and questing as you go

Again I wanna thank Hound13 for sending me the game its been a blast and its greatly appreciated thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Arms of God

Hey everyone hows it going today i wanna talk to you about Arms of God an interesting rougelite but first huge thank you to Dark Jay Studios for sending me a copy of the game its greatly appreciated let’s dive in.

Gear up for a battle through hell in this rougelite bullet heaven arena autoshooter with doom inspired gore vibes and metal music and a satisfying combat feel weild five weapons at once upgrade and merge them to forge indestructible builds and bring divine justice to a world on the brink of chaos thats there excerpt on steam and its a good one.

Now onto the game you play a Templar who goes into combat with a cross that at first doesnt do much you have an arm system similar to doc ocs from spiderman which I think is bad ass seeing your weapons moving around on there own as your dodge enemies to hit points of interest and stay alive is very well done.

This rougelite has a ton of flavor to it the cross has its own skill tree the weapons have there own upgrades and the character gets its own blessings this game has so much to do that you dont see it all each run.

The game is broken down into acts and each act has 15 levels you gotta beat now dont play if you dont have time to do them all at once as you cant save and come back least I didnt notice.

The combat feels smooth the dodge mechanic thank lord for one and weaponry has a good variety with more as you progress, this is one game I definitely recommend theres to much in the game for me to spoil so if your a fan of rougelites and bullet hell games give arms a god a chance you will not be disappointed thank you all and have a great day and game on.

HellSlave 2 Judgement of the Archon

Hey everyone hows it going today i wanna talk to you about HellSlave 2 but first a huge thank you to the devs at Dear Villagers for sending me a copy of the demo to check out its greatly appreciated so let’s talk about it.

So honestly this game even with the intro ive had a hard time following what’s going on in the demo but ill do my best to explain what ive been able to understand.

So the world has pretty much gone to shit and there’s a war going on the demo opens up in what I assume is the starting area which is a decent size your trying to meet with a friend why idk it doesn’t really say much.

The combat is turned based and its simple enough hit the keys on your keyboard that correspond to the attack and wait your next turn, the loot that enemies drop even at begginer level you get some decent gear and drops I had a poison set up that was beautiful until I got into a harder area then I had to change everything again to try and progress.

There are side quest you can do i did one where I had to kill a boss skeleton so a merchant could move along and even though he was higher level then me I managed to kill him.

Theres a huge skill grid where you can get your attacks from and its something you can lose hours studying each skill there’s also a passive tree with buffs thats almost the same so much info so little time.

I did have some trouble in the one area a mini boss monster almost 1k life points kept kicking my ass until I bought better gear sadly this game even if you find amazing gear early on it will eventually become obsolete which sucks i had a great set up.

Its a great rpg from the time ive played but I had a hard time following the story im sure others out there will have a better time so keep an eye out for HellSlave 2 its worth playing for the combat and loot.

Thank you all for coming have a great day and game on.

Bellwright PS5 Version

Hey everyone hows it going i was recently sent out the PS5 version of Bellwright to check out so lets talk about it but first huge thank you to Snail Games for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated.

Yes ive checked out bellwright before I was sent the PC version when there maiden voyage dlc dropped and I had fun with it for the most part so when the game dropped for PS5 i wanted to check it out sadly it didnt have the multiplayer active which is what I wanted to do which was play with my buddy and see how the game felt but enough of that this review will mainly focus on how it felt for console if you wanna read my bellwright review ill link the pc coverage below.

Now ive never played survivor games on consoles ive always felt for some games pc is just better but I wanted to see how well they adapted to using a controller and the console limits my biggest issue graphically is the motion blur when turning or running the game blurs together to the point its very annoying and hurts your eyes a lot and sadly there’s no way to turn off the motion blur in the settings for the console port big fail now it could just be the games to demanding but still I hope they fix it in the future.

Next the controls itself left stick is to move and instead of making sprint L3 they bind it to circle why every controller player and anyone that uses a controller knows L3 is sprint in most games

The building and a few menu options were stuffed under either L1 or square i think it was sorry so many controls over lap its hard to remember them all.

I biggest gripe is they didnt even use the touch pad for a mouse cursor they used it for the pause button when its clicked.

I feel this game needed a lot more time on controller mapping some of it feels ok and other aspects just dont work and the game itself nothing has changed you still start in the ruins you find the first village and work on gaining people’s trust I honestly feel the console port could have had more work done to it to help it feel more natural the combat is the biggest disaster you need to use the right stick to look around and try to get your swing into different spots its a massive headache honestly.

All in all the game still needs work and I hope future updates will improve it cause I do wanna see the game be a hit even if my review doesn’t sound like it below ive linked my original pc review again thank you to Snail Games for the game take care and game on

Outriders Worldslayer DLC

I dont play many games often that pull me in and wont let go but outriders was one of them I loved the game and its story so much I had to finish it and bought the dlc to continue this amazing story.

In worldslayer the world is falling apart ice storms are destroying everything and it seems hopeless but zahidi had been talking to another dr that sadly was an insurgent who had discovered a way to stop the storms after saving zahidi from almost being killed you set put on a journey to the most forbidden area in the game the black Gulch why is it so forbidden eh who knows its just a bunch of crazy people killing for fun left and right and a commander who has some insane powers who’s also a bit crazy with a god complex.

As you progress the story you find more of the Pax frozen I was sad considering all the pax we came across were dead or transformed into ferals finally you find what the Dr had discovered a forcefield in the middle of nowhere holding off the anomaly storm where once your inside you discover the last living surviving pax a shamen who had been in talks with the Dr who also knows a way who shows our commander the truth.

Then there’s the trials a sorta mini raid where you go from room to room fighting and discovering what happened to father along the way and what drove his madness with some great boss fights lots of loot and plenty of enemies to kill the trials were honestly amazing and I enjoyed my time in them.

But after seeing the ending and how the dlc finishes I can whole heartedly say fuck you square Enix I hope you guys go under you spent years and money on saving final fantasy 14 and yet you couldn’t give this game the proper time it needed everyone knows looter shooters take time to grow look at borderlands and destiny you had a beautiful fucking gem on hand and pissed it away we were supposed to get a sequel and thats never gonna happen cause of the greedy fucking assholes over at square I hope one day people can fly will buy the rights to the ip and finish what they started real fans need the second game or even another dlc.

Sorry about that let my mood get the best of me all in all worldslayer was an amazing continuation to the story and had some great times in it thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Greedfall 2 the dying world

Greedfall the dying world is the newest entry in the series by Nacon who were kind enough to send me a copy which is greatly appreciated so let’s talk a bit about the game.

So Greedfall the dying world isnt a sequel its a prequel to the first game it takes place in your homeland of Teer Fradee, if you havent played the first one you wont be missing out on much except maybe some characters that progress to the first game but other then that, the game is its own story. So you the main character will be placed on a sorta coming of age journey around the island which has many beautiful sites to see and plenty to learn and discover. Theres plenty to do in the early stages as you progress the main mission.

My biggest issue i have is with the missions if your not careful on how you do things you lock yourself out and there’s no way to return to previous choices in my play through I got locked out of an important option and the game left me no choice but to start over which sucks all that time lost, the second go was much better I managed to do the things I needed to do to progress the main story.

My next problem with the game and this is strictly personal preference is the combat is am not one for tactical combat i like to brute force things and overwhelm i like to keep attacking until the enemy is down and out but in this game everything had timers I had to wait for and honestly the combat felt very confusing at times but I tried to get through it theres 3 combat options and I went with the one where I just had to worry about my character so for players that love intense combat and tactical approach this game is definitely for you.

Now this game is beautiful I played on console on my ps5 and man just watching the characters during conversations and seeing how detailed they were it truly was beautiful to see and the environment was just as beautiful the fall colors in the trees the clear water its hard not to stop and admire everything the team at Nacon really did an amazing job with the beauty of this game.

All in all it’s enjoyed my time with greedfall a dying world but the combat is just something I cant get over and dont really wanna spend every fight trying to master something that I wont enjoy but thats on me my playstyle the game is worth it so check it out and enjoy it thank you all for stopping by take care and game on

Outriders

Not many games grab my attention anymore let alone keep it but for a while now I had been wanting to play outriders it gave me destiny vibes with the powers and space background so when I bought a new ps5 I made it my goal to get outriders and I did and damn what a fucking game.

Now for those who dont know outriders was made by the team at people can fly and published by square Enix releasing back in 2021 I didnt get to play during its prime and I wish I had.

The story follows you the player who’s an outrider having just landed on Enoch a new planet after we left our home of earth since it was dying and crumbling. Enoch when you land is beautiful its amazing the flora and animals its everything you would dream of it reminded me of the world in James Cameron’s Avatar just beautiful, but then the storm shows up and everything goes to hell you escape only to get thrown into cryo and then you wake up.
Now this is where shit gets real what feels like minutes to you maybe hours is actually 30 years and everything is hell the beautiful world you saw is no more now its just a waste land and everyone trying to survive at least what’s left of it.

Now the game starts you off meeting some people you knew saving others and throwing you right into the chaos and I for one was up for it im not a fan of slow starts in action games and as someone who had tons of hours in Destiny and played a good amount of borderlands I had some expectations for this game when it came to the loot and it didnt disappoint at all the gear and guns had mods that helped you out and made you stronger but wait im getting ahead of myself you see just after you wake up you pick your class which is where all your powers are born from and how the game really becomes fun I picked pyromancer a mid range fighter that also self heals which for my play style is perfect since I like to pretend im a tank and jump in the middle of hell.

Theres a few classes to choose from a tank a support and the midrange i might have to go back and try another class but I have a lot of cleaning up to do in my game. Now the game is multiplayer so you can play with others or go at it alone and the best part there’s tiers so you start at tier 0 if thats to easy it moves up in total there’s 15 tiers of difficulty but each rewards you even more if you play the higher tiers.

The story was amazing everytime I played I wanted to know more it got to the point where I stopped doing side quest and exploring because I needed to know what the hell was going on and by god the discoveries the plot twist everything was just insane by the time I reached the ending of the game my jaw was on the floor needing more, yes there is a dlc which I hope to be able to get sometime soon so I can continue with whatever story they added there. I never expected the story to be so amazing you can tell the dev team really had high hopes for this game and I curse square Enix for pulling the damn plug.

This game goes on sale often I ask all of you give it a chance play it its on pc Xbox and ps5 the game is amazing the story leaves you wanting more the ending top tier I highly recommend this game and to the devs I hope you can someday give us the second game that so many of us really want thank you all 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

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

Ardenfall Demo

Hello everyone today I wanna talk to you about the Ardenfall demo that I got to check out and enjoy so come along for the ride and let’s dive in

First off its a fantasy rpg so if you have played games like the elden scrolls you will fit right in as this game i feel uses those games as a huge inspiration. The demo gave me about 83 minutes of play time between all the reading and adventuring.

So the game starts you with a story of a horrible storm sending you off course crashing to an island you wake up and the first thing you do is create a character which has some great selections to it. And then once completed you wake up on a beach with another npc that tells you what happened and how to proceed.

From the beach you find a cave and off you go to start your adventure the combat that I experienced in the cave was great it felt smooth but a bit delayed at times but nothing that I couldn’t deal with once you reach the end of the cave your at your first village of Bisawa where people do not take kindly to you but its where you get your first real mission but I wont spoil it.

You get a giant number bar for your weapons and spell a total of 9 different items can be equipped which is bad ass honestly giving you plenty of variety.

Even tho the demo was short this game has huge potential and I cant wait to see more of it I hope it releases soon head over to steam and check it out thank you for stopping by take care and game on.
