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.

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.

Wizdom Academy

Hey everyone today I wanna talk to you about this sweet little builder sim called Wizdom Academy, if your a Harry potter fan and a fan of wizards and magic this game might be up your alley let’s dive in.

So to start off you pick your headmaster and school colors and symbol then from there your dropped into the map and what little tutorial is implemented starts guiding you through and I’ll be honest the tutorial could use a deeper guide then the little bit it talks about. After your on the map your first task is to set up the mana tree which is the foundation to your school I thought that was pretty cool having some magical nature help you, you get to build hallways and classrooms as well as dormitories and teachers lounge the only thing I didn’t like so far other then the tutorial is the little space your given to place things on the map but in this game you build up as well but the tutorial does nothing at all to show you and that’s a big let down as most of the time your trying to figure things out another is the income is based solely on the students you have so you constantly need to have a high amount of students in order to survive.

The demo i played was fun and had some interesting events at one point I was attacked by a horde of goblins then at another point I had to deal with a mana drought and keep my school going there is a research tree which unlocks new classes and stuff for your school to make it look nicer.

I know it was a demo but if the main release is anything close to the demo then the tutorial needs a good amount of work, that aside I still recommend the game it was fun and I think the first game where your making a magic school i look forward to playing the game on full release and I hope you guys give it a chance take care and game on

Hotel Architect DEMO

So the playtest i was a part of only had Gothenburg, this demo opened up Santorini which offered hot temperatures, the info title for Santorini said it’s beautiful surroundings and warm climate Santorini is the perfect place for relaxing a beautiful paradise island, so it offers a variety of rewards the big one being Paris unlocked with different guest archetypes then Gothenburg you will be kept on your toes more then before this demo was fun just like the playtest I was a part of and only leaves me craving a full release I can’t wait for the full experience as hotel architect is sure to be a massive hit with the sim building community.

If you wanna know more check out my post about the hotel architect playtest it offers more insight to the game.

Yasha Legends of the Demon Blade Demo

How’s it going guys today we talk about yasha legends of the demon blade demo I wanna thank 7QUARK for sending me a key to the demo I gotta say I had a blast with it let’s talk about it.

So the demo is the first 3 bosses and areas of the game you have a variety of enemies and you play a ninja named shigure the game is a rougelite so you know there’s a lot to do and deal with and the demo shows that off brilliantly my first couple runs I kept dying to the first boss a giant crab cause I was very impatient and just wanted to hack and slash but this game will kick your ass if you don’t use your head the perry system stunning the bosses so you can attack light and heavy attacks to switch between and a multitude of other things to learn about and use in game after a few tries I beat the crab boss and moved to the next area which added newer enemies and more stuff to contend with for a demo there is so much to do I honestly didn’t think it was a demo until after I beat the 3rd boss and the thank you screen popped up it left me wanting more honestly and I hope to get more when the game fully releases in April all fingers crossed if your on steam give this demo a try it’s a new spin on the rougelite scene and it does it very well.

The game will offer multiple replayable stories as there will be 3 characters maybe more to come as well non stop action as you master an array of new demon swords and infuse them along the way to make them stronger so you can survive longer unlock dream recipes as you slash enemies and gain ingredients for new meals with buffs to help you out

This game has so much to offer and it will be a great addition to your library i hope to see you all at launch have a great day and game on
