Deadly Days Roadtrip

Hello everyone today I wanna talk about another rougelite called deadly days roadtrip. Its an interesting take on the genre and its not bad let’s talk.

So you start on a map page choosing which path to take then it drops you in a level where you must scavenge the area for gas and you cannot leave said area until you have a full tank of gas which makes it a bit stressful. You defend yourself against a horde a zombies now at first there not that bad you have a dash and can get away in a quick bind but if your not fast enough it turns to night and thats where the problems come in you have different special zombies popping out and there a lot worse then the normal zombies.

Now this game incorporates aspect from a few games for example you get a bookbag where you can place weapons and buffs to help you out on your mission but you start very small and only a pistol which is not very useful.

The game is fun and challenging it has a lot of different aspects then most rougelites and does its best to stand out in an over saturated market so if you wanna add another rougelite to your collection consider picking up deadly days roadtrip thank you and game on.

Life Below


So life below throws us into the city building sim genre only this time we aren’t above water we are below it adding a twist to a genre that is very popular and well done.

So you awake as a sea spirit tasked with bringing back the coral reefs and to do so you gotta work each building has a different arch type but if you have played other city builders you wont get lost. There’s building for populace and there form of electricity but its all layered in a beautiful under water view so you see shells and oasters.

The game is very well done and adds new flavor to a genre that is over used and I must say they do it well not once did I stress over things the atmosphere they built and give us is truly peaceful the music is fitting and makes me just wanna sit around listening to it all day.

All in all Life Below is one of those games you gotta play and experience it my words will not do it justice so if you get the chance buy it play it and enjoy it go with the flow thank you and game on.

Japanese drift master

I didnt know what to expect when I started playing this game but so far the game has been a blast.

So the story is viewed in a manga book style as things get started which I find pretty entertaining as it saves on unnecessary cut scenes.

The map is huge ima say that now this map would feel right at home with a grand theft auto game in my opinion but thats also a down side you see everything is progression locked so you dont really get to explore much of the map unless you have a mission there which is a let down cause it offers some beautiful scenery.

The driving took me a bit to get used to as I went into it thinking it was just another racing game and not something that would actually require a bit of skill. You do find a school that teaches you the basics for drifting and other stuff but I didnt do it I wanted to experience stuff raw the driving feels fast the drifting definitely takes some work to get used to but is a blast once you manage it also drifting around traffic adds to the thrill of the game.

My only gripes with the game were the starter car your stuck with only one choice instead of letting you have some options and the map so much space and yet so empty I know the games still being worked on but I would love to see more to do around the map.

Well folks thats all for now take it easy and game on.

Windward Horizon

First of massive thank you to Tasharen Entertainment for sending me a key to this gem of a game hope you guys enjoy my point of view.

The game is just a massive sailing adventure out in the world your adventure spirit is the only thing holding you back.

The game starts with the captain dying and he asking you to take him back to his home so he can spend his final hours with his family and loved ones after that you return to your ship unsure of how to progress until the crew chooses you as the new captain oh boy time to put on your big boy pants. This is basically the small tutorial where I wish it was longer and more detailed so the crew and you talk agreeing that we need a new ship so its time to get going.

You can take quest at different ports or just sail around fishing and fighting other pirates if you want. The game has some nice controls and doesn’t try to overwhelm you like others in this genre tend to do. It also sets you free and I do mean sets you free as in once the games done telling you how to do stuff boom its all on you which is a bit overwhelming in itself and I kinda wish it held on a little longer also add some indicators I get we are pirates but give the option of indicators to players it helps out. Also your not forced into combat every choice is left to you unless a world event or a quest requires you to fight that is and thats a bonus cause combat doesn’t become a pain after a while.

The game is available on steam for a nice 20 dollars and gives you your money’s worth i give it a 7.5/10 for my time spent with it so grab it set sail and enjoy thank you for stopping by take care and game on.

Sintopia

What do you get when divine intervention needs help down below? You get sintopia a new type of city builder where you my good friend are incharge of hells inc so let’s talk about it.

First off huge thank you to PiraKnights Games and Team17 for sending me a demo key greatly appreciated huge shout out.

So the games intro tutorial  starts out with the big guy himself trying to talk to you but before he can get much out of his mouth he gets a phone call and gets busy so in comes your one and only LiLi the succubus to teach you the ropes of how to run Hell and yes run it you shall.

So the game is divided into 2 play areas you have the main area hell itself which we will get to in a minute and you have the upper world where your humus live peaceful lives going about there days. So in this upper area you dont have much control here you see a few buildings and some people chilling these are the souls you will need to make hell a more productive place and yes you are able to use spells and magic in order to claim a few of these souls and have the awesome reaper bus bring them down below for you but dont get to crazy the bus is on a timer and souls do wait around the cemetery till they get to board and get taken below.

Now down in hell it gets very busy you have to create buildings and walk ways for your souls to follow to get rehabilitation in order to be reborn you see in hell there’s a special temple that every path must end at and that temple is the rebirth temple where souls get sent back to there humus domain to live new lives.

Working for hell is a lot of work there’s different currencies you need in order to make things work like your spells and there’s stuff like sin overload which I didnt get to experience but im sure its bad just from its name. The humus have strict schedules to follow and they will die trying to complete them a bit over dramatic I feel.

You do get your own team of workers to help you out with some stuff but I didnt get to interact much with them off the start they get introduced to you during the tutorial. Also the tutorial does a great job of walking you through stuff up until a certain point where it let’s you experience it a bit on your own.

Sintopia is a one of a kind management sim builder that really adds a new flavor to the genre and makes for interesting games I cant wait for the full release and its a must play in my opinion thank you all for stopping by have a great day and game on.

Lumentale Memories of trey


So I wanna thank beehive studios for sending me a copy of this demo and that’s all the pleasantries I have sadly on to the rest.

The game starts out slow excruciatingly slow and I was having a very hard time vibing with the game between how much dialog I had to read through and all the tedious beginning quest the game really needs a boost of speed so people can get to the good stuff instead of wasting 30 minutes or more getting through stuff.

After according to my steam timer I hit about 45 almost 50 minutes did I get my first animon gotta say he looked bad ass and you get to choose between 5 different kinds which is a huge plus giving you some nice variety.

Now onto the big issues that basically broke the game for me and made it unplayable. When I was trying to enter a building the game froze on me and I couldn’t do anything I was trying to be optimistic but it was a massive foreshadowing I restart and progress forward then all my animons glitch out and become my starter ok great a glitch now I tried to push forward and not worry until I arrive at a critical story part that I need to do to progress. There I experienced a total of 6 freeze bugs even after reinstalling nothing changed I understand this is a demo and im trying to enjoy it but when the game breaks for me there’s nothing I can do sadly I really wanted to enjoy and play this game so im hoping down the road i can give it another shot but for now its unplayable and needs some work and optimization. Thank you for your time have a great day and game on.

Rise of Industry 2

Rise of industry 2 is a city builder unlike any other I’ve played i wanna thank the devs over at somasim and kasedo games for sending me a copy greatly appreciated.

So let’s dive in first i love a game that offers you a tutorial that to me let’s me know the devs are trying to reach as many players as possible tutorials are huge in games and I wanna see more of them now onto some bits of the game.

Rise of industry 2 is exactly what it sounds like an industrial city builder where you build up every aspect of the industry to make a profit and grow and that’s not a bad thing specially when the game really makes you feel like your a C.E.O or some higher up working the numbers and contracts. And I mean it I really felt that way you have to issue deliveries to different parts of your buildings from one another then if you need something and cant make it you send out a contract agent to negotiate the contracts for you so you can get what you need and you actually get to write off the yes or no on the contract its not automatic another great way the game makes you feel like a higher up and i for one do not mind feeling that way.

So the game gives you a nice chunk of land to work with and you get to mark squares off for each aspect of the industry but they fill up fast man and I do mean fast before you know it that square has 5 or 6 buildings that all work in unison and you only add more so definitely be conscious of where you plant your buildings you might need more room for another one.

I cant tell you how insane it is to play this game there’s so much to do and so much to learn that you really have to concentrate so that you get everything straight and dont hurt your industry and yes you can hurt your industry, all in all if your a fan of city builders this game is a must play which keeps you on your toes and that is what sets it apart from other city builders that focus on industry level games.

All in all it’s give this game a solid 8 out of 10 and add it to the recommend list its worth it and has plenty to keep you busy as well as playing for hours to come thank you for stopping by have a great day take care and game on.

Nice day for Fishing

You know as a big fan of viva la dirt and there skits I always wanted a game based on there stuff and we finally have it its called nice day for fishing.

The game has you take over town fisherman bailen and become an adventurer and I gotta say its great, honeywood is in trouble after an ancient evil awakens and attacks all others, where are the adventures… missing buy why.

The game starts out simple do this get this quest as you progress the story you meet every character from honeywood along the way from Greg the garlic farmer to bodger the blacksmith and even others like the great baradun. So yes this game is being true to its core material and I for one am loving it.

Combat has to be the most unique part of the game as all enemies are fishes and your goal is to fish them out but man did the devs make this hard as fishes fight back so you gotta use spells for damage and stamina recovery as well as blocking and attacking at the right moments it takes a bit to get used to but the combat is fun and interesting to say.

The game really sticks to its material but man I feel sometimes the characters are a bit harsh to bailen im looking at you wizard boy lmao. But there’s also plenty of comedic feel as you progress in bailens journey to save the great town of honeywood and I for one and enjoying my journey.

No but seriously this game is worth playing its fun its cozy and relaxing and has great dialog and progression its definitely a 10/10 from me and a must play so if your looking for a new game please give this game a chance not only to support the devs and cast but to experience the love and passion this game was built on.

I wanna thank the devs at fusion play and team17 for sending me this game I’ve loved every minute of it and cant wait to progress more and save honeywood. Also I refused to give to much as to not spoil the game sorry. Thank you for stopping by take care and game on.
