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.

Yar Forgotten Throne PS5 Review

Hello everyone hows it going? Today i wanna talk to you about Yar Forgotten Throne for the PS5 but first i wanna thank the team at Axyos Games Entertainment for sending me a copy of the game its greatly appreciated.

Now I dont get to play many single player games since many anymore use the souls formula so its hard for me to find a game I can just enjoy but then Yar was brought to my attention when the devs sent me a key so I decided to give it a shot and see whats going on.

In this game you set out a nobody looking to help the world from a great evil that has returned, so yeah pretty generic story loop good vs evil so when you start out you wash up on the shore near a small cabin this is where the game starts your tutorial now i am all for tutorials teaching players how to play and what buttons do what but I also hate when your forced to finish the tutorial and cant progress until its done but onwards.

After the tutorial I went exploring found some combat in the form of goblins and boars the combat was nothing spectacular honestly the camera movement felt sluggish as well then when you found people the damn cursor you get was horrendous it felt like I was back at my computer using a janky mouse couldn’t line up things right off the bat kept struggling why though when they coulda just made it snap and scroll like other games on consoles do this was a big turn off considering its used in every part of your inventory making the smallest of actions more time consuming.

Then came more combat against insects where you simply cant just fight them no you have to find xy and z to be able to fight im sorry I dont wanna have to find 6 other things just to kill one bug.

Honestly I did not enjoy this game at all and I cant recommend it the game feels like it needed more work and polish cause if I wanted this much stress I would just go play skyrim instead thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

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

1666 Amsterdam

Hello everyone hows it going today i wanna talk to you about 1666 Amsterdam I know what a name but first a massive thank you to Panache Digital Games for sending me a key to explore and sink some time into 1666 so lets talk about it shall we.

I admit i wasnt sure what to expect from this game going in but I must say the devs have crafted a cinematic masterpiece cause in some ways it feels almost like a movie then an actual game everything from visuals to small details just leaves you stunned.

The game follows Noa a collector of magic and follows her journey through 1666 as she journeys to complete her job in order to save the world joined by her cat companion who has there own mystery for you to find out this game does amazing bringing to life the pass of what coulda been depending on your beliefs of course.

I did have some small issues with the game the combat was a bit of a hassle even when I dodged i got hit and you only spam the right trigger nothing else no combat spells that directly affect the target which was a bit of a let down another issue i had was controlling the cat i would sometimes get stuck on areas im allowed to jump to i feel the cat controls could use more polish it felt a bit all over the place.

This game is in early access and the devs themselves have stated early access will be used with help from the community to give better life to the game and i feel thats smart as a dev I feel you miss stuff but players might actually find things that need work and thats what gamers should remember everything good takes time.

Again thanks to the devs for sending me a key its greatly appreciated check out 1666 Amsterdam if you want an amazing story and beautiful visuals thank you all take care and game on
