medieval – Gaming with Noobs

The level of detail in this game is insane and makes me feel like an actual blade Smith not just a gamer playing a game.

You start the game in a dream state you pick your character type male or female then what your life was like your knowledge and so forth and yes it actually helps with the progression in the story as some choices depend on certain skills you have your toughness and knowledge being some as well as finesse, after you make your choices the game opens up into the tutorial and even the tutorial tells you pay attention or you wont learn so please pay attention.

The first thing it goes over it the camera movement which im not a fan of why would you stick a camera binding to the press of the scroll wheel makes no sense at all but thats just my 2 cents. Next your looking at the anvil and the process begins. The tutorial starts by telling you how the lengthen the metal that will become the blade each blade has a sweet spot in length and the info box on the top left tells you everything that is e,petted of the sword you are making and boy does shit get complex as you progress. Then you gotta flatten the blade and widen it these 3 steps are the most basic of everything your gonna be doing so make sure you watch everything closely cause if you mess up you will have to start over and fix the sword properly.

Next the game will show you how to put a tip on the sword and this one is probably the most trickiest of them all as you can over tip the sword to the point its almost a needle which some customers will want that.

Then comes the sharpness of the blade which is the easiest to do you see a blue line will pop up on the blade and will move until it hits the proper spot then it will change to orange when you have reached the exact point intended honestly best guide line ever.

The whole left side of the screen while your at the anvil is your info bar as well as the square that pops up on the right also shows some details as well.

After the tutorial of making the game shows you a small fixing tutorial cause not only will you be making blades you will be fixing them as well. The amount of detail and information in this tutorial is insane and well done could they have added more sure but it might have messed with the flow of the game.

After the game drops you into the story of the game where you are awoken at a tent with a forge outside in a tent filled camp of people trying to enter a city for safety. You will try to get in as well but no luck sadly.

This is where the game opens up where every choice is both good and bad where everyone is watching you and where one wrong move can mean death for your character.

The economy is rough not only must you find supplies but you also gotta find vendors and boy the first vendor you find is rough considering this game takes place during medieval times people were scared of plagues and everything else.

This game is amazing the detail the feel of making a sword the hilts and everything in between i am so glade to have experienced this game and I cant wait tonsee what they do with it in the future so if you wanna feel like a real bladesmith pick up Bladesong you wont be disappointed, thank you all for coming by take care and game on.

Bellwright the survival game that takes survival very serious but can it be fun though, let’s talk about it.

But first huge thank you to Donkey Crew and Snail Games USA for sending me a copy to check out greatly appreciated.

So I was recently sent bellwright to check out there new content update called the maiden voyage, now my history with survival games is very limited Conan exiles and rust being the ones I had most time in but recently ive played others so I had some confidence going into this game and was hoping for a good time.

Is there a tutorial ima be honest I cant remember so we’re gonna dive into the game so you pick your character and start in some ruins there you have your first mission now the story from the cut scene is your looking for the person’s responsible for your parental figures death you are a child that lived there life in hiding all because you were at the wrong place at the wrong time which we all know how that goes guilty without a doubt throw them in jail and melt the key type drama. But anyways you escaped the harsh times and lived until now where your brought back to your old stomping grounds for answers and God damn it you will get answers.

The first village you stumble upon is called heardean village there your greeted with a cold shoulder from the mayor which after some talking you gotta prove yourself with some missions one being killing a pack of wolves and this brings us into our first foray with the combat system and boy im not a huge fan at all the combat system feels like they ripped it out of for honor you know circle on screen with an arrow pointing to which way your attacking thats how the combat in bellwright is now for the side swings its not bad its the overhead strike thats the issue since your moving your mouse the camera angles get a bit wonky and makes it harder to follow combat against multiple people.

But combat aside you finish the mission and start warming up to him you keep going until finally you are given the freedom with building your own home now this game world is huge the map is huge and there’s a hell of a lot to explore which guess what explore you have to you see its the only way your gonna come across new materials to help you build stuff this is where I wish the game had taught you more cause some stuff you cant find in the wild you gotta kill bandits or find vendors for it other stuff just keep exploring and hope your able to find it.

For example im stuck on a mission where I need to give a person 2 cloves of garlic well everything ive explored doesn’t have garlic and the vendors that ive found have been no help at all but since the main premise of the game is survive and explore well thats what I gotta keep doing.

Each village has a reputation meter that progresses the more you help them out and trust me you will wanna help them out its the only way to recruit the good workers into your settlement.
Now in your settlement your able to build some of the basic stuff but the real good stuff you cant make until you unlock a town hall and guess what for a beginner game that shit is hard to many resources to try and save or find with no luck so research and build what you can cause every bit helps grow your settlement into the illustrious village it will be one day.

Now for the update the maiden voyage dont get me started on this I am no where near the point I can do anything with the update so I’ll come back in the future and talk about it once ive gotten the chance to actually experience it.

The hardest thing ive had to find in the game is food and telling my villagers what to do im still learning on how to control them and my advice go to YouTube look up some videos save yourself the headache which I need to do so I can get them working properly. The food is scarce you have a couple berry bushes that regenerate but the good food comes from wild life your able to trap rabbits for food but they dont give enough sadly wolves are a bit better but the good food comes from the deers which I have not been able to get any from since there so fast and run away from you at first sight. I dont know if there’s better arrows or what but im stuck with the starting gear.

This game has a lot to do and survival is key as you deal with bitter winters and no food supply as well as keeping your people happy so they dont abandon you. At some point I will have to update you guys with more news i only have 9 hours into the game and this is no where near enough to experience the game as its so grand and offers a lot.

If your a fan of survival games with city builder elements then check out bellwright its in 1.0 full release and just got a major content update with maiden voyage I’ll keep you guys posted down the road as I keep playing trying to survive this game thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.
