DustPunk

First off huge thanks to Clockwork Bird for sending me a copy of dustpunk its greatly appreciated let’s talk about it.

Dustpunk is a tabletop steam punk rpg with a great story and choices that have consequences but thats what makes this game so compelling to play, if you’ve played dungeons and dragons then you will feel right at home with this as every action requires a dice roll to complete and trust me you gotta score decent or that game kicks your butt for it.

So your starting stats are determined by which of the 4 characters you wish you play you’ve got a write, a criminal, an engineer and finally a veteran each character has a strong stat which you would think would benefit you more but it doesn’t feel like it sometimes.

You come home from the war in a dead barge as you were confused for being dead and this is where the first of many rolls start as your fighting for survival and as we know every action has a reaction for me I was screwed right from the start I got a decent roll but still ended up with a broken leg as I escaped the body purge. And after that my hard story begins I had picked an engineer since they sounded the best in my opinion but man was everything a struggle.

The game has 3 status bars that are followed and are honestly a reminder of how real the game feels the first bar is energy which you gain from eating and spend it with every action you take the next is the health bar which fills with food as well I call this the stomach bar because it drains fast and takes a bit to get it under control and finally the bar that cursed me and was my bain is the sanity bar which fills with almost everything major that happens to you and if you dont get enough sleep it fills up more as well I felt this bar was a bit over powered in the sense that everything hurts you and barely anything helps you, the sanity bar is also tied into the dice system see if you fill the bar your dice gets a skull killing whatever number was there and making your dice rolls even harder this had screwed me as I had 3 skulls before I finally lost in my run even tho I had discovered so much and was working and meeting people I could not get the sanity bar under control I feel this needs a bit of tuning to maybe not be so punishing or to offer other ways to make it go down.

This was my first tabletop style game and I gotta say I loved every minute of it even with everything working against me the stories you find really draw you in and make you feel as if your actually there surviving the choices you make. Dustpunk is one of those games where morality doesn’t exist as every choice is you living and breathing to move forward and there’s lots of choices the map is actually pretty big even tho most of it is covered by clouds until you discover it sadly I got close to getting to the second area but I died ending my run.

This game has massive replay ability and if you love making hard choices and consequences then this is the game for you each run will feel hard but rewarding in the sense that you breath just a few more hours until something else tries to take you out.

All in all dustpunk is worth it and will draw you in from the start dice and choices really feel at home with this game, thats all for now thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Nascar 25

First I wanna thank the team of IRacing for sending me the code for Nascar 25 it is greatly appreciated and I hope to work with you guys again.

So Nascar 25 is my first Nascar game ive played other racers like need for speed and forza even grand turismo back in the day but never had the opportunity to play Nascar until now.

I wasnt sure what to expect as I dont know many pros from the scene other then Dale JR so I went into this game with no expectations other then to have fun. Now when you first reach the menu there’s a few modes at the top you have career which launches your own rise in the sports I have a bit of time here and loved every second of it making my own racer and competing for a chance at greater things its the one thing I love about racing games when you can make your own career now your basically your own franchise making money from sponsors and races but also paying the bills and keeping your car going you gotta buy new bodies and chassis as well as engines and everything in between you get different level of equipment so you know there’s better parts as you progress.

Then there’s quick race which is pretty self explanatory you que up for a race and take off around the track hoping to hit number 1 on the podium.

Then there’s multiplayer or online racing where the glory of the world is waiting to put you in your place as you compete against real world players in tough demanding races battling it out for top position. Now these are mostly lobbies created by other racers would be cool to see some official lobbies from the devs so players dont set damages or tire wear to insane amounts. But this is the mode where everyone will be so this will have the most fun.

At the bottom there’s a drivers rating tab which shows you the ratings of every driver in the sport and which series there from the game offers a lot of information and its surprising I didnt expect so much when I started playing I definitely cant wait to see what’s coming to Nascar 25.

I played on a controller and it felt great no stutters during turns everything was very responsive I will be setting up my wheel and pedals to give it a proper go like a true Sim racer lol.

My time in the online races was fun but I barely found races since they all had late in the day start times and not many players I hope this is worked with so we can have more racing and less waiting around.

My time with Nascar 25 has been great from the smooth feel of the cars to the fun in career mode to the intense feel of racing your fellow gamers every second of it was great I give this game an 8/10 I cant wait to see what iracing has in store for this game thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Tasked with bringing nature back to the world, you’ll revive biomes, regrow by planting and cultivating seeds, and repair relationships with folkloric animals, all with a touch of magic.

The Regreening is ultimately a game about healing the bond between humans and nature and rebuilding a sense of harmony in the natural world. In addition to a rich ecosystem featuring planting strengths and weaknesses and water distribution, you’ll also need to improve the relationships with mysterious NPCs connected to the land, ensuring that you care for them as much as nature.

Key Features of The Regreening

Night Swarm

Hey everyone hows it going today I wanna talk to you about a little gem called night swarm a vampire rougelite thats actually interesting with its own twist, let’s talk about it, But first I wanna thank Fubu Games for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated.

So night swarm is another one of those vampire survivor like rougelite you are Roderic a vampire assigned with bringing back the glory of your people and castle against the war that threatens to engulf everything. So the game feels like a giant board game the characters all have a base like a board game and they walk the same by jumping around I thought this was awesome it made me smile seeing something different.

The game has a skill tree, relics, artifacts and a bunch of other stuff you discover along the way there’s a giant map divided into parts you must unlock and make your way through but after selecting which part you wanna go to you have a path that has many choices and those are the levels you will be playing in this war. The levels have a lot of different factors to them some are boss fights others you fight against elites but there’s also quest to progress the story and so forth.

You also have companions that will offer different boost to you during your runs so your not alone sadly they dont attack which would have been more helpful then just a buff but thats just my 2 cents. Theres also a bunch of companions you unlock using the reputation you earn.

For mission progression you continue along until you see exclamation points floating around certain lvls so far the story seems interesting from the little bit ive gotten from it i do hope more is explained since now I have vampires and werewolves trying to kill me go figure

If your a fan of rougelites and love vampires then this game is for you there’s no price yet as the release date is December 4th but there is a demo live right now give it a shot and enjoy thanks for stopping by take care and game on.

Dark Quest 4

First off I wanna thank brain seal for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated now let’s talk about dark quest 4.

Tho my time has been brief I have learned a lot from the game, it feels like a classic d&d vibe as you progress around the map with your pieces as the dungeon master looms over you watching your every move, there’s treasures and traps and a skull that helps and hates you but the game has its moments.

So the game throws you into the intro mission where you discover your first 3 characters you explore the dungeon until your able to make your way out thus starting your journey to destroy the big bad guy. At base camp you sit around a camp fire with 5 npcs around you all waiting to help you during your journey from a trainer to a merchant an alchemist to a blacksmith each npc offers a different form of help for your journey and that help comes in the form of quick play cards that you can use in combat from healing to damage to a bit of everything in between.
The journey is divided into tiles on a map that you must progress through in order to reach the end and save the world but the game wont make it easy even with me moving the difficulty sliders around I had a hard time surviving my journeys and would lose 1 of my companions making the rest of my journey that much harder.

The enemies dont play around the undead hordes want you gone and they will make sure your gone if possible the zombie chickens are the worse cause if they surround you then they will screw your run up so fast its not even funny.

Dark quest 4 gives off old school game nights with it playing like a board game its fun the combat is easy to learn and there is no learning curve everything is right there simple and easy to learn and play the game is fun in its own ways.

I played on the nintendo switch I didnt have any issues and the game felt right at home even in hand held mode so if your looking for some nostalgic feels then dark quest 4 is it I give this game a solid 6/10 thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Digimon CyberSleuth

So I recently started playing my first digimon game cybersleuth and its been a fun experience so far let’s talk a bit.

So as the main character you and your friends start off meeting up in eden after only talking in game but you guys get attacked by this monster and thats where the fun starts a cut scene takes over showing the real world and a crowd of people crowding around a digital being that just so happens to be you the main character. Suddenly you get helped by a random women who’s a detective and she helps you out through out the games progression.

So the game takes place in both the real world and digital world and this being my first digimon game i wasnt sure what to expect i had so much to learn and learn i am. You see the digimons have types and weaknesses that are critical for combat, its not like in other games where you can brute force what you do here you actually need strategy and I had to learn that quick as ive come close to having my ass handed to me plenty of times.

Items are crucial in the game as you actually must use them in order to survive fights and some of the fights ive had have been very hard.

You have a good amount of people helping you along the way as you find some crazy story plots that leave you wondering how is that possible after only about 7 chapters I can say this game takes a lot of commitment and work to progress and for my first digimon game im actually happy with it.

Ive been playing on the nintendo switch which I gotta say this console really shines with rpg games being able to just sit and relax the game runs perfectly so far no issues that ive noticed haven’t had any stutters and the load times aren’t that bad coming from a gamer that plays mostly on pc.

All in all im having fun with cybersleuth and will post an update once I get further into the game itself thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Game Dev Tycoon Mobile

Hello everyone hows it going, today we talk about one of my favorites games that ive played lots on pc but also has a mobile version let’s go.

In game dev tycoon your a developer starting your own company and start making video games thats the jist of it but this game offers a lot more.

So you actually get to choose the name of the game for starters you can choose what kinda game it is from action and strategy to rpg and sims the biggest you get to choose what genre it is and there is a huge variety and you unlock more as you progress in the game you also get to choose what platform to release your game on. You start in the early times of gaming and work your way through the years unlocking new platforms along with new mechanics for your games even getting the chance to create the heart of most games the game engine and upgrading it as you proceed.

Game dev tycoon offers growth you can hire new employees budget how much you wanna pay them and that directly affects there skills you also train them in different aspects to make them better from design to computing to the in-between.

I first found game dev tycoon on pc and fell in love with the game and seeing it had a mobile version I had to get it, its cheap at 4.99 US dollars but worth it for the hours you can get lost in playing this game offering lots of replay abilities and new combos to discover this game is definitely one i recommend that everyone tries out.

Thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

SuperBall

Superball is a 3v3 soccer game very similar to rocket league only difference your not in a car and your a hero that has powers let’s talk about it.

So if you’ve played rocket league you will feel right at home with superball its the exact same concept 3 vs 3 who ever scores the most goals wins. Which is normal is a game there’s gotta be a way to win now what makes superball different is that each hero you play as has abilities and ultimates to give you the edge in the game and with there being 17 heros so far spread across 3 types thats a lot to discover and learn.

So the 17 heros spread across 3 types doesn’t surprise me trying to be close to an actual soccer team im guessing you have offense defense and universal, offense are strikers always attacking the goal to score points defense are strictly the goalies to block incoming shots and universals are all around players going where there needed but let’s be real offense will be everywhere trying to get the ball and get as many points as possible.

So in my first game I played the offense hero named Ming his ability is like a grounding shock keeping you in place for a bit to give him breathing room and his ultimate he charges the ball and launches it at the goal which is all very cool to be honest, the game doesn’t have a mercy rule which is sad when you beat the other team 9 to 0 yeah you read that right in my first online game against other players I scored 9 goals which was insane on its own but you get to jump pass kick rush run there’s a lot at play in this game and honestly it comes together beautifully.

The game is a gotcha style game everything is cosmetics and you unlock heros similar to other hero shooter games without the shooter part. The game also has a season pass to earn cosmetics emotes and sprays.

The game is free to play so the normal season pass and cosmetics spending is expected and so far its a decent game and worth giving it a shot on steam so if your able to give it a shot you wont lose anything with trying it out.

Thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Detective Dotson

Detective Dotson follows Dotson as he trys to find out what happened to his father as he gives up his dreams of bollywood to solve this mystery so you take up smaller cases in order to get the bigger picture.

So you play a detective finding clues talking to people buying stuff you need in order to get people to talk to you and so forth, as you gather clues to each case you have a case board where everything goes into place and there is where you the player puts each clue into its spot the game does offer you hints if you need help but its fun trying to do things without hints.

The game is fun and very simple its only 4 cases long so far but they do take time to find and figure out so you wont be finishing this game in an hour or 2, I love the fact its in India and has beautiful scenery as you explore, the game has a mini item finder game where you can win money which is the only way to can get money it also has a 3 chance bater system in order to save some money and get better prices but watch it you can make them mad if you try to offer to little.

All in all detective dotson is a sweet little indy I played it on the nintendo switch and it ran beautifully so stutters or lag no issues at all if you like solving puzzles and mysteries then this game is for you and I highly recommend it thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Aethermancer

Hello everyone hows it going? Today we talk about aethermancer a creature battling rouge-like, but first I wanna thank Offbrand Games who were awesome enough to send me a copy thank you guys so let’s talk about aethermancer.

I wasnt sure how to feel about this was it trying to be another pokemon style game or did it have enough carved out that it was different and in a genre with dozens of other creature games how would they stand out.

Aethermancers twist is the fact that the game is a rougelite and everything is done in runs similar to other games until you lose and start over again this is the way of the game. In aethermancer you can capture other creatures to help you on your journey you also get to pick from 4 starters me I went with the fire/earth monster named cherufe my buddy over at savior gaming went with nixie who’s a healer but I was able to find a healer quick and him a fire type. So before every run you can purchase upgrades and items to help you survive and make the runs longer which in these games you need that as some of the monsters you find definitely hurt.

The story is simple and solid as you explore the world and the areas of life and death but thats all your getting from me I refuse to spoil the game for future players. I didnt have any issues while playing the game it runs really good which now a days its a must need since one wrong code can cause a mountain of issues.

The game is a little over 20 bucks on steam and has a good amount of reviews keeping it in a positive stance from over 600 players do I recommend it absolutely more indie games need a chance to shine and aethermancer is one of them thats all for now guys thanks for stopping by take care and game on.
