Reus 2

Reus 2 the city builder were you are a god and control elemental giants to help your planet grow and flourish let’s talk about it.

First i wanna thank Abbey Games and Firesquid for sending me a copy of this game to check out i greatly appreciated it.

So in reus your god the game starts you out with a tutorial to teach you the ropes but I played on the switch so it was definitely a bit of a work out to figure everything out even with the tutorial. So you start in space and select create a planet from there you choose 3 giants to help you out from 6 total. At the start you get a forest water and rock giant and they are what build each biome and everything in it. You start with a group of nomads and place your first area either a lush forest or a harsh desert then off they go they slowly build and evolve as time goes on then similar to civilization you pick deities to help further your progression as well as unlock a new town in total so far you max out at 3 towns and you help complete missions to get them through the ages.

You only control the giants sadly so you have no control what happens and trust me things will happen so far I’ve seen my people attack one another over selfish motives such as a better castle, each smaller deity has missions for you thats how you progress and there not easy if you dont manage to finish they get upset and angry at the giants. The giants play a crucial role in everything they create the biomes along with the trees and animals the special stones and irons you find in a desert but they can also attack the cities if you want them to which I did when one city attacked the other for no reason I showed no mercy sadly they will just rebuild and get angry at the giants even tho it wasnt the giants fault.

Ive been playing on the switch and the controls were confusing at first but after some play time I started getting the hang of it the one area where they completely failed to integrate which woulda worked wonders for this game is the touch screen there’s no support and thats a let down as the touch screen coulda been a huge help for selecting things and placing them but maybe further down the road one can hope.

They also dropped a new dlc for the game called ice age where it adds a frozen tundra biome to the game i haven’t gotten that far so I cant talk about it but im sure it adds levels of difficulty to the game.

Reus 2 has so much to offer and to do and is a fun game to play if you wanna pass time and just watch the game play itself I recommend it if your a fan of sim style games its available on steam and switch i am not sure about the other consoles.

Again I wanna thank the devs for sending me a copy to check out and wish them nothing but the best I hope you enjoyed thank you for stopping by 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

Heroes of Mount Dragon

Heroes of mount dragon is an action side scroller similar to towerborne if you played that then you will be fine here let’s talk.

So the game starts by having you select 1 of 8 characters then it starts telling you the story of the game showing you the continent of the map thats divided into 8 sections home to each race from elves to goblins and so on.

Our heroes were chosen by the mythical dragon to take over once he passes which is weird dont dragons basically live forever but anyways once you choose your character it takes you to the starting area which I wont lie feels like a mobile game complete 1 course to unlock the next and so on. Its own gimmick is that our heroes are able to transform into dragons thanks to there gift, the game recommends you play with a controller which I agree with.

The combat feels super clunky and stiff the movement felt stiff and was to me a bit off putting you would kinda hope for a bit more fluidity.

I came across different mobs in the first and second course to find some stuff I didnt like the biggest being enemies can still nail you while airborne and they dont damage each other with there explosions which let’s be real they should be dead from each other. The game is multi-player up to 4 to a lobby which is ok but I hope to see some investment into making combat a bit more fluid. And its a 20 dollar game which at that price im sorry I cant recommend when there are better options out there catch this on a sale but not at full price.

Thats all for this game guys thanks for stopping by 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.

Formula Legends

Formula legends is a chibi racer with lots of difficulty that sometimes makes the races feel worthless let’s talk about it.

The game is strictly single player it offers a story mode and a time attack mode in story you get to pick a race series starting in the 60s then moving up into the modern era which in itself is a good amount of content I tried racing in the 60s set the computer to easy and let me tell you I think the difficulty option is broken as I ended up being a whole lap behind the leader with no hopes of catching up and if thats how one race is I knew the rest were gonna be just as bad and they were.

Did I have fun yeah for the most part I feel this game could probably be amazing if they fix the difficulty rating and maybe add an online mode I didnt try my steering wheel as I wasnt sure there would be any compatibility.

The game has a lot of potential and I hope it gets the attention from fans that love this but I can say after getting my ass handed to me multiple times im hanging up the gloves with no titles under me thanks for stopping by and game on

Trailer park tycoon Racoon ranch

So the game throws you into taking over your grandma’s business after she’s put into the hospital being sick you have a store and land to take care of in order to progress.

During the intro your shown how to manage the store and how to manage the land you have which involves taking out trash and placing trees as well as machines to progress your story and keep the store running you start with a water well to gain water and some apple trees for apples from there you use the apple juice and boom you get apple juice to sell at your store seems simple cause it honestly is.

The game takes place in a trailer park you have neighbors that offer you missions and neighbors that sell you blue prints in order to progress your story and store which it seems the store is your main focus as you need huge amounts of money to progress. Grandma will also give you missions they seem simple just a bit time consuming since some require money to buy stuff you dont have.
All the neighbors seem nice you have a bar and gun range as well as a blue print and seed vendor to expand on the only one with an attitude and im assuming its cause there old is your grandma who is a bit dismissive of you while your trying to help her.

This game clearly has a lot to offer and is one you can play casual if you want the story doesn’t progress unless you make it progress which you can just spend hours making stuff for the store and making money but if your a casual Sim fan then give this game a shot 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.

Life Below

So life below throws us into the city building sim genre only this time we aren’t above water we are below it adding a twist to a genre that is very popular and well done.

So you awake as a sea spirit tasked with bringing back the coral reefs and to do so you gotta work each building has a different arch type but if you have played other city builders you wont get lost. There’s building for populace and there form of electricity but its all layered in a beautiful under water view so you see shells and oasters.

The game is very well done and adds new flavor to a genre that is over used and I must say they do it well not once did I stress over things the atmosphere they built and give us is truly peaceful the music is fitting and makes me just wanna sit around listening to it all day.

All in all Life Below is one of those games you gotta play and experience it my words will not do it justice so if you get the chance buy it play it and enjoy it go with the flow thank you and 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.
