Rising Lords PC Review

I wanted to be fair to this game but I had a hard time with it the tutorial really let me down as it felt very unhelpful and could have been done better not much in the way of how to do this more in the way of do this then again strategy games were never my Forte.

The tutorial is only 1 aspect of this strategy game as it offers a story and custom games which I spent my time with hoping to get a better grip on the game but then again that might just be myself and not the game.

The population control was a bit weird as having a certain amount netted you 1 more to your control to do with as you pleased from farmer to blacksmith and so on the game is heavy focused on sending resources between spots you control as the resources in areas are limited to non existent and having an army for this is a plus as it will help your influence.

The combat boils down to a rock paper scissors element in which one unit will do better then others thus having a small boost in combat which could be effective and more significant with larger numbers your environment also plays a fact as the game tries to be as close to real life strategy as possible.

The graphics weren’t my favorite as they seemed to mimic an old book but to each there own, I wish I could tell you more about the story but I never got to it but if your a strategist and these games are your Forte please give it a shot this was my first strategy game and it made me realize I have lots to learn in this genre thank you for your time have a great day and game on.

Skybreakers

Hey everyone it’s been a while so I wanted to make sure I did this review right join me as I tell you about a fun indy game called skybreakers.

Immerse yourself in the hack-and-slash world of “Skybreakers”, where aggressive attacks and  the exhilaration of defeating your enemies make every battle a legend. As a Disciple of Jixia, masterfully switch between Basic Attack, Dash, and Ultimate to defeat the evil. With an array of weapons, each with its own advanced moves, as well as Ability Construction, Weapon Affixes, and Artifacts, you can create unique builds. Gear up to face formidable Champions and experience the raw thrill of relentless combat! That’s the base synopsis so let me tell you about my experience with this game.

Skybreakers is an action rougelite a la vampire survivors where you take on waves of monsters and try to survive but in this game you get 20 waves at a minute a piece now your probably thinking 60 seconds not that hard to survive and you would be right that is until you reach chapter 3 and up then each wave turns into a fight for your life with a difficulty ramp that is noticeable even to amateurs like myself.

So there’s 4 characters you can play as but you unlock them as you progress past each chapter each character has 9 weapons you get to fight with but unfortunately you get them at random when you reforge your weapons wish this wasn’t the case but I can understand as it keeps the game at a variety level instead of people playing with there favorites and always picking one weapon

– Yi, the Blades Wielder, adept at swift reactions and pinpointing enemy weak spots.

– Motao, the Hammer Master, who draws upon golem strength for powerful basic attacks.

– Haiyi, the Adept Boxer, skilled in agile positioning and evading enemy assaults.

– Nangong Wen, the Star Controller, specializes in setting up a star chart for AOE damage.

One thing I love that sets this game apart from others is the art style it uses an ink style brush effect similar to old Japanese art styles from ancient times its very beautiful and easy for the eyes not straining them as you stair at your screen which I think is awesome in my opinion as someone who wears glasses the easy colors made for some good sit down sessions

The game does have a story but not in a conventional way you only get glimpse of the story after a certain amount of waves and encounter with champion monsters which is this games bosses from the menu you due find a story section which is comprised of 8 pages with 4 picture blocks that open up to tell you the scenes you have witnessed

Like other rougelites this game does use an upgrade system which is by far the easiest to understand out of all the ones I’ve played and I love that you earn crystals the currency by killing monsters completing levels and saving what you don’t spend you get a few different categories and can use 4 upgrade slots at a time as you progress which makes for some very powerful builds and yes you can get over powered if done right

As for me the time I’ve spent playing the game has been very enjoyable sadly though I am stuck on chapter 3 which is the hard difficulty I can’t make it past wave 7 as the monsters hit harder spawn more and surround you quickly but I haven’t given up I will make it past but in the time I’ve spent with the game I can definitely recommend it if you love rougelites please give this game a chance it’s available on steam for 8.99 which is not a bad price for a game that offers a good amount of replay ability thank you all for stopping by have a wonderful day and game on

I also wanna thank the team at ETime studio for sending me the key to play this amazing game and I can’t wait to see what’s next for this team thank you all and have a wonderful day

Pokemon Scarlet

Hello everyone today i wanna talk about nintendos newest addition to the pokemon family pokemon scarlet version, i also wanna apologize for not being so active life has me in a rough spot but lets continue shall we.

Pokemon Scarlet brings with it the first ever truly open world experience of all the games many will say pokemon arceus is open world as well but its not since you have to choose between areas, but anyways this open world is truly beautiful has many regions and sites to see and personally i feel nintendo out did themselves and i cant wait for what they have instore for the future.

Now to fill up the massive open world nintendo did something new and made 3 story quest that you can interact with at your discretion as well as explore the massive world anyway you want but in part thats not true you see the game doesnt scale with you as you explore the game has pre set levels so watch out when your exploring you might end up in the wrong area and face some over powered pokemon.

The first story which is the same for all games is the champion arc where you go around battling gym after gym collecting badges in hopes of facing the elite 4 champion and taking the title for yourself and the best part of this just like in sword and shield your acknowledged as champion which in my opinion is awesome and makes your journey worthwhile.

The second arc is the titan quest which has you exploring the regions fighting giant pokemon wondering whats causing this insane change in them and i gotta say its awesome they feel like raid battles and give you a great challenge of endurance to see if you can take hits this story is closer to the main story of the game and is very worthwhile as its filled with just the right emotions.

The last arc is the operation star arc which has you finding these rebel bases of students who are rebeling against the school your job is to find out why and hopefully put a stop to it and get the students back in class this arc also has great emotional attachment to it and really shines on the issues of real world students.

The game has so much to offer and has such a great story that all i can say it great job game freak and nintendo you guys have really hit a home run.

Now the game has gotten much negativity for glitches and bugs but people forget every game has issues and this is nintendos first jump into doing this with pokemon so cut them some slack the game is great i had 1 issue and that was mainly because of where the game put me in a pokemon encounter which forced me into the map but other then that i was able to explore and play with no issues.

If your a pokemon fan and havent played the new games yet please do it there amazing and have much to offer and definitely show nintendo is evolving our world of pokemon for the better i loved every minute of it and can not wait to see whats next for the scarlet and violet games thank you all for your time and game on.

The Wandering Village

First off I would like to thank Stray Fawn studio for the code to review this awesome game lets get started.

The Wandering Village is a city-building simulation game on the back of a giant, wandering creature. Build your settlement and form a symbiotic relationship with the colossus. Will you survive together in this hostile, yet beautiful post-apocalyptic world, contaminated by poisonous plants? This is the synopsis the steam page has for this game but it is so much more.

My first play through I did on easy mainly because I wanted to grasp as much of the game as I could and thankfully the tutorial also helps you learn the basics of the game to get you started but then the game stops holding your hand and releases you like a momma bird pushing you out the nest except this nest is a world ready to ruin you every step of the way. The survival aspect is very well done and if you’re not paying attention and staying ahead of the curve it can and will cost you.

As soon as the game starts you see your people traversing the land in hopes of finding a new home until they come across a majestic marvel of a creature called an Onbu, this wonderful creature is the last of his kind, a dinosaur that travels the land in search of… well honestly I dont know what our friend is searching for but he is one awesome take to add to the city building games. So your people climb aboard him and make him their new home as his flat back is the perfect place to start a village. Now I must say my people survived 105 days before disaster took them all.

The next thing you will notice is the map consist of different biomes from grassy plains to harsh deserts to toxic lands. Those are the only ones I saw in my game I’m sure there’s many more biomes that I didn’t find or are yet to be added but I can’t wait since the biomes make up a huge portion of the challenge to the game. The the deserts harsh sunlight dries up your water and makes it harder for any crops to grow, toxic lands add a poison effect that will hurt Onbu if he lays down on them grassy lands are prefered as they offer the most balance to the village so you can grow crops and gain water to help plant more things.

The village also has a vast variety of jobs to keep it functioning and you would think you could do with out one but the devs have made sure one job helps out another job and so forth. A great example is the decomtaminators. They are special workers whose only job is to cure the ground of any and all toxic plants and keep them from spreading but the workers will fall into a poison state from working which is where the herbalist and doctors come into play as you use the herbs to cure poison so making sure you have herbs is definitely a must. Then you have worker huts which you use to assign the workers to be general workers or to specifically be gatherers, builders, havesters, or carriers so paying attention to each job will help maximize the environment around them.

The map is another place where you will spend some time on as you unlock scavengers to send off to find knowledge or materials to help your people as well as paying attention to the path to see what is ahead to help you prepare as best as you can. The map is also where you will find wandering nomads to add more people to your village but they will also come with their own problems such as hunger or poisoning so be mindful of the people you save they may need more saving than just a new home.

The game has a lot of amazing things going on for it and it’s truly a breath of fresh air to the city building genre but I did find a few things that I felt could use improvment or be added into the game which I’ll discuss below.

The first is adding a trust indicator for the Onbu. You see you’re able to direct the Onbu or give him orders but in order for that to happen you must gain his trust but the game offers no visual indication of trust so that you can tell how well things are going. For me my Onbu didn’t start listening till day 101 which was a bummer as all the biomes around me were harsh so I didn’t have many options direction wise. Thankfully I got him to run through some of the poison clouds to not get too affected.

Another one I would like to see added is maybe an end goal, some sacred place where the Onbu can rest forever and we can live in peace. I didn’t find any clues or paths during my travels just aimless wandering which I’m sure the devs have an endgame goal in site but for now there’s nothing that points that way.

One that I would love to see is maybe different Onbus during the start of every new game, a random Onbu is shown and that’s your new home. I’m sure this could be a possibility but for now Ima say it’s just a wish I have to see added later on.

I would like a mini map in my opinion. It would help so you’re not in the huge map so much. I would also like to see a bigger map option that shows all the paths you have traveled to get a better idea of where you have been.

I would like to know what type of land expansion they plan on adding or if they are gonna ask players what they would like to see added cause I personally would like to see a water biome in the game, seeing the Onbu walking through water would be cool.

The game also uses a research tree that helps you unlock the buildings as well as new orders for the Onbu to hopefully listen to. I i hope they add a lot more buildings considering there’s so much to do and unlock. I can’t wait to see what they add next.

As for endgame I feel this set up offers a massive amount of possibilities so I’m hopeful that the end game will be talked about in the weeks to come.

All in all the wandering village is an amazing city building sim that adds new flavors to the recipe of a basic genre and I for one can’t wait to see what becomes of this game and I highly recommend everyone give it a shot, you just might fall in love like I did. Thank you again to Stray Fawn studios for the review code. Thank you all for stopping by, take care and game on.

Dr.Strange and the multiverse of madness

Hello everyone hows it going been a long time today i watched the new dr strange and i gotta say it was better then i expected.

So this movie is a bit all over in my opinion it starts with dr.strange and a girl running from some invisible force of evil as there trying to find a book thats floating around in this insane but sweet looking dimension. Then things get a bit nuts the girl escapes we have a dead dr.strange like wtf is going on already, so it turns out the girl is a one of a kind multi-dimensional traveler who doesnt know how to use her power but we all know thats just half the fun lets bring out the bad guy now this threw me for a loop since i never watched the tv show and i feel like i need to now our villian is non other then the beautiful scarlet witch, boom mind blown i know i didnt expect that but shes on a warpath to be reunited with her children which seem to exist in every other dimension except hers i dont know kinda fucked up if you ask me, so the movie progresses but doesnt have much back story since im assuming you need to know from the wandavision show but this madness is awesome as you see dr.strange breaking all kinds of rules in order to help save miss america yes her name is america she also has been through some shit but the movie doesnt talk about it much.

So to me it felt like there were 3 plots they were trying to bring together and in some parts it was amazing others not so much i feel like i have more questions then answers but the movie is great honestly i loved it and it deserves a watch please dont pass it up i left out a lot cause i dont wanna spoil the movie but it gets a solid 5/5 from me give it a watch thank you all for stopping by have a happy 4th of july and game on

Shang-chi and the legends of the ten rings

Hello everyone hows it going today i wanna talk to you about shang chi and the legends of the ten rings one of marvels new movies for there next phase and i gotta say what an awesome movie it was lets talk about it.

The Movie

So the movie is a bit all over the place it starts in the past telling the tale of wenwu a general who found the powerful 10 rings and went on a campaign to concur the world, but along the way the one thing that vexes us as humans catches said general off guard you see while searching for a hidden legend in a magical forest he finds a beautiful woman who he falls in love with fast forward a bit the movie changes to the future where our main character shaun is introduced and the next part of the movie begins following our protagonist the movie feels as if it has a slow build which it does soon the bad guys show up steal a pendant and set our movie forward soon his past starts being exposed and he meets up with his sister to warn her that there father is coming for her pendant fast forward to them arriving in there fathers compound and he seems to be losing his mind hearing his wifes voice begging him to find her which leads him to hunt for her old village in the mystical forest which turns out that this evil demon monster is responsible for the voice hes hearing fast forward again to an epic fight of good and evil yes its epic and definitely worth the watch.

Background

If it wasnt for the disney name i would have thought this to be a regular martial arts movie the respect that went into this movie is amazing the culture the music the fights everything brilliantly done to keep the movie as entertaining as possible and for a movie that sits at 2 hours 12 minutes it was definitely well done and put together i honestly hope theres more to this story as disney and marvel have a great chance to bring more culture into the marvel verse.

Final thoughts

This movie is amazing and worth the watch the story the fighting the martial arts all beautifully done and brought together i cant wait to see whats next in the shang chi world please give the movie a chance a 10/10 for me, thank you for stopping by take care and game on

FreeGuy

I wasn’t expecting this movie to be as good as it turned out let’s jump in and talk

So Freeguy is a comedy by ryan reynolds and even though hes great at comedy movies how do you make a movie about a game be funny and great at the same time i don’t know how he managed but he did.

So the movie takes place inside a game called free city which honestly just feels like grand theft auto as you watch the movie our main character played by ryan is an NPC or non playable character called guy who works in the bank getting robbed by players over and over until one day hes walking down the street with his friend buddy who’s a security guard at the bank and they encounter a glasses person humming a song and that right there is what causes our beloved guy to become the first A.I or artificial intelligence in the game he soon sets out to meet said player only to fail the first few tries until eventually he meets her, she than gives him the ropes about leveling up and playing the game which he does fantastically. But as the story progresses not all is what it seems as our second protagonist is on a mission to get back what was stolen from her by the corporate bad guy. With little to go on the adventure sets out and soon the craziness commences our comedy has bits of love story thrown in and its a wonderful time to sit back and enjoy.

The movie features some beloved real life streamers which just adds to the authenticity of this being a video game and i for one loved every minute of this 2 hour movie with a great cast and a fun story Freeguy is definitely worth the watch i was able to watch it on disney plus but its also on dvd so give this movie a chance and have fun with it thank you for stopping by enjoy and game on

Eternals

Can i just say holy shit what an awesome movie so bad ass and i can’t wait till they make another.

Hello all and welcome to another post today we talk about marvels eternals what an amazing movie a wonderful cast and honestly all around epic lets sit back and talk about it.

The story

The eternals follows 10 immortals as they live there lives on earth helping humanity from a dark shadow called the deviants each immortal is gifted with amazing power to help them in there fight to protect but not all is as it seems for every light has darkness beside it and man does this movie have its ups and downs of drama but its all beautifully done in keeping everything going, all for the good of the world or so they think, this movie gives us our first introduction to the celestials from marvel universe ultimate beings able to create life out of nothing the ultimate beings the gods among gods. We start with arishem the original celestial tasking his eternales with protecting earth from these monsters bent on destroying everything you see some fun powers like super speed and strength among them as well as illusion and mind control but the movie is more then powers and good vs evil. The movie does a wonderful job showing there journey through the ages of time and there impact on the world its what i loved the most about the movie as it flips from present to pass seamlessly and best of all it doesnt kill the flow of the movie its done beautifully keeping you invested as the movie progresses, its a suspenseful journey from start to finish as you become invested in the characters pass and present lives and so worth it.

The movie

The movie has a run time of 2 hours and 40 minutes as well as the usual hidden scenes after the credits but not once while watching it did i become bored on the contrary i kept getting annoyed having to take bathroom breaks as the movie really had my full commitment and i wanted to see it through the end. They have a wonderful cast of actors who did wonderful bringing there eternals to life.

Conclusion

This movie is worth the watch such an amazing story giving us more of the massive universe that is marvel and my favorite part is the way it ends letting you know there is definitely a second movie in the works and i cant wait for it to happen.

Thank you all for your time please give the movie a chance you wont regret it i had a blast watching it i hope i was able to peak your interest have a great day and game on.

Cars 2006

Hello everyone how’s it going today I wanted to talk about one of my favorite Disney movies… Cars yes I’m still a child at heart let’s talk down below

The Story

So cars is about lightning McQueen being an up and coming rookie racer in this massive competition for the piston cup that’s the first half the second takes place in a little town that he flips upside down as he tries to get back to his truck but it’s during this phase that he slows down and starts seeing life for what it is an enjoyable drive. Along the way he meets the town folks who live in peace trying to get by day in and out until he ruins their road as punishment he’s told to fix it by the town judge who just so happens to have a history of his own.

The movie

The antics are fun the movie really shines in telling us we need to slow down and enjoy life it has more than enough humor to carry it to the end and is also responsible for my favorite mini series tow mater.

Thoughts

I had a blast watching this movie again thanks to it being on Disney+ and for a movie that’s 11 years old it can definitely hold its own to be fun and entertaining and is worth sitting down with the family for a fun night of classic fun

I know it wasn’t a great review I’m a bit rusty but this is the first movie in a small blog series I will be doing on movies I grew up on and if there are still just as entertaining years later thank you all take care and game on

The way of the HouseHusband

Hey everyone just wanted to stop by and talk of an anime i watched on netflix since im pretty sure they have the rights of the show and sadly its one show that could have been great but was rushed.

The show

So the show follows househusband tatsu as he lives his everyday life being a husband cleaning the house getting groceries the usual things you do when taking care of a home, the show only has 1 season on netflix spread across 10 episodes. Now the best part about tatsu is hes a former yakuza member with the title of the legendary immortal dragon.

The manga

So the show is based off a manga and at the moment there are 7 volumes out with number 8 in the works which makes me wonder why netflix even bothered to make a show when the manga isnt even complete.

My opinion

The show was funny and very interesting had its great high points barely any low points but sadly the value of the show was cut with the lack of animation and mostly used stop motion and 2d effects kept the show from being a big hit another problem i found with the show is they had 10 episodes with 60 mini episodes in total and i must say im disappointed they could have had something amazing but decided to rush it and take an awesome and basically trash it i get netflix needs more material for the huge library but please stay away from manga’s you butchered the way of the househusband and i know im not the only one that feels this way.

Final thoughts

Netflix took there check book out and threw money around in order to ruin a show that had massive potential if done right i hope this show gets picked up by a real production company that cares about the anime culture and gives it a proper life is the show worth a watch yes but its all over the place with the way they did the mini episodes trying to cram to much into 1 season i hope others dont experience this misfortune.
