Bounty Brawl Most Wanted

Hey guys hows it going today i wanna talk to you about Bounty Brawl but first huge thank you to the devs at Infini Fun and Nanuq for sending me a copy of the game its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

So Bounty Brawl is a fast paced action rougelite that can be played between 1 to 4 players where you hunt down bosses and claim bounties which is honestly a good premise.

You get to choose between 8 bosses on 4 different areas you gotta make your way through the cannon fodder first before you can tackle the boss so far from what ive played the game could use more balancing primarily the mobs I feel have to much health right off the bat compared to the damage you do.

Theres some levels where you get attacked by stationary weapons and you cant even destroy them which i think is total bullshit considering your already dodging the attacks from other enemies.
Now this is a multiplayer game it has co op but sadly i wasnt able to find any active lobbies so I dont know if other people have bought the game or there’s issues finding lobbies.

The game has a good base and with some work can be very fun ive always wanted a game where you hunt down fugitives and claim there bounties and this could be it with some work ill definitely be coming back down the road after more updates and checking it out if your planning on grabbing it maybe buy a copy for a friend as well so you can have someone with you cause solo play sucked and definitely got my ass kicked plenty of times.

All in all thanks to the devs for letting me check out there game i cant wait to see what’s next for Bounty Brawl have a good one take care and game on.

Dark Light Survivors

Hello everyone hows it going today i wanted to talk to you about dark light survivors but first huge thank you to the team over at Mirari&Co for sending me a copy of the game to try out its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

So Dark Light Survivors is a great game from what ive played so far its a rougelite with its own twist the game offers a good amount of upgrades to make your fight better but the best part is what makes this game unique you see more rougelites are all played top down view you go around blast monsters gain xp and level up with dark light you get both top down and 3rd person meaning you can switch between both views on the fly while your surviving now usually these games i always play them top down its how I enjoy the games but sadly with dark light survivors I noticed a lot of short comings with the top down so it was better for me to play in 3rd person. You see in other games you could shoot at a decent distance even before any upgrades with this one your shots would disappear at the 3 to 4 feet mark and thats before making any type of contact but in 3rd person mode it actually feels like your making better contact with them.

Another thing i saw was the map markers showing you where statues and chest are in top down view you get no indicators or anything but when you switch to 3rd person view you get a distance meter as well as actually being able to see them.

I know it sounds like im wailing on the game but im just showing some inconsistency it feels like the top down view was an after thought for the game instead of a fleshed out product.

Now like other rougelites when you level up your greeted by a deity from the dying world that grants you power this is also random but each deity gives you 3 choices for 1 element my favorite is always ice i like freezing monsters to give me some breathing room the electric powers were good but we’re heavy focused on melee and the fire was focused all around i feel there could be some work here as well to make it more in line with being even between ranged and melee attacks.

Now after each run in this dying world you return to your sanctuary to spend the coins you earn theres a store that unlocks relics for you to use and a store that also has new weapons and characters you can unlock as well after clearing there objectives to unlock.

So far there’s only 3 levels you can play through not sure when more will be added but the game has great potential and I enjoyed myself these types of games are great time killers as you never know how long a run will last but dark light survivors is out now on steam check them out and thank your for stopping by take care and game on

Empire in Decay Demo

Hey everyone hows it going? Today I wanna talk to you about Empire in Decay, but first I wanna thank the team at Siesta Games for giving me access to there current demo build so I could check it out so let’s dive in.

What is Empire in Decay well according to the steam page its a deck builder and a rougelite now if you know my history I love rougelites as for deck builders not so much but this game doesn’t it very well that its not an issue for me but I think the best part of this game is the fact it uses the chess formula as you play and the animations alone this team is killing it.

So the game is a chess game you have your pawns Knights bishops and kings and your goal is to wipe out the enemy and survive there waves. Now the rougelite aspect comes into terms on the map where you have different paths to take and you have a bunch of spots to visit some spots are for gambling others give you the chance to pick a card to add to your deck so you can kick more ass.
Now the one thing that made me fall in love with the game ever since seeing it on twitter is the piece models and there animations seeing the pawns decimate the other pieces or the knights throwing double axes at you is top tier.

I also love that the whole dev team are huge warhammer fans and you can tell in there design even earning the nickname Warhammer from Temu.

I wont spoil anymore cause this is one game that deserves to be played it releases in July there is a demo out now on steam so check it out again thank you to siesta games take care and game on

Apokerlypse

Hey everyone hows it going today I wanna talk to you about Apokerlypse but first I wanna thank Breaker Games for sending me a copy of the game to check out so let’s dive in.

To be honest right off the bat this game lost me it has a tiny and I mean tiny tutorial and then throws you off a cliff now I know how to play poker to some extent but this game had me so confused with some of the mechanics.

So the normal rules applied pairs beat singles triple beats pairs and so on but at times those rules didnt apply making some unnecessary passes, then this game adds chips into the mechanics where each chip is a buff in some form theres also a device on the right where you get special powers all of this is going on in a bar in hell yeah your playing poker in hell and the demons and chips and cards all have powers.

Some how I managed to keep winning I got a hang of what beats what but in order to win you need to clear your hand out which thanks to some cards is easy to manage.
I apologize now this review is so screwed I had a really hard time grasping this game and trying to understand everything.

Is it fun yes is it interesting absolutely its a concept you dont see and can work wonders I just wished the translation was better some character names aren’t in English and the achievements ive gotten aren’t in English as well.

Give this game a chance you might grasp the concept better then I did thank you for stopping by take care and game on

Clover Pit

Hey everyone hows it going today I wanna talk to you about Clover pit i know im a few months late to the party my apologies, I wanna thank Panik Arcade for sending me a copy of the game its greatly appreciated so let’s go gambling.

Sorry I had to use that line lol after hearing it so much in the game it sticks with you. So Clover pit is a slot machine survival game in my opinion but the games tags on steam call it a rougelite rougelike with psychological horror which I guess I can see it since you die in the game if you cant manage to get the money you need.

So like any slot game your gambling the game doesn’t tell you why your there or what you did only that you need to come up with enough money to pay off the incurred debt which at the start its low so you think it will be easy but your dead wrong as soon as you pay one debt the next is thrown at you higher then before and now the machine charges more for each play which sucks cause if you run out of money or cant pay well prepare for a very long drop into oblivion.
The game has charms that help you out as you progress and so far I have not managed to win theres also a phone where someone offers you modifiers with curses so its not worth it in my opinion. The game reminds me of buckshot roulette a game all about chance.

This game takes loads of luck I have failed over and over again and cant for the life of me get lucky enough to win my freedom.

Is the game worth it absolutely its fun keeps you on your toes and makes you question every move you make in a fun way no stressing no feeling bad for losing this game does a great job of keeping fun vibes and not ruining your mood. All in all its a fun game to play and enjoy again thanks to the devs for sending me a key have a great day and game on

Codex Mortis full game

Hey everyone hows it going today we talk about the full release of codex mortis I played the demo a while back and now we have the full release so let’s talk about it but first thanks to Grolaf and CRUNCHFEST for sending me the game its greatly appreciated.

So to get it out of the way the game is made completely by A.I i wanna stress that since it was stressed to me that the game was a.i made with no human interaction.

So after playing it the full game it hasn’t changed much from the demo the big change is there’s a story mode which will have you surviving on the map running around doing missions while you kill the horde and then there’s a survival mode which plain and simple you survive as long as you can.

Theres a bunch of upgrades in forms of new spells and relics you find from bosses in game then you use the souls from the monsters you kill as currency to upgrade and unlock new stuff.
For the most part its like every other rougelite out there except this one was made by a soulless machine instead of an actual human.

The art style I honestly dislike it so much it feels like stickers are sliding across the screen to attack me and it kills the immersion for me and im sorry it doesn’t matter what type of game im playing I wanna be emersed in it and get lost in the world actually feel like im there and I cant with this game.

The game is what it set out to be another rougelite in the pond of rougelites but the harsh colors the lack of fluidity with movement hell vampire survivor has better movement I dont know what the devs set out to accomplish but this game could have used some human touch

Anyways thanks everyone for stopping by take care and game on.

Grind Survivors

Hello everyone today I wanna talk to you about grind survivors but first huge thank you to Pushka Studios for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

So Grind Survivors is an action rougelite bullet hell game and does it live up to those tags the game starts you off on a forest level with difficulty 1 you start out the usual you kill enemies gain xp to level up and get more abilities each ability has a chance of evolving and becoming stronger which is a big benefit as your being surrounded, the game also offers alters where you get small stat boost that can make or break a run.

Ive made it to difficulty 3 on the forest I have yet to unlock a new map because honestly the game doesn’t tell you which is bogus cause for the characters and other difficulties it tells you how to unlock them not a fan of that to be honest.

I played on a ps5 and the game played beautifully no lag issues no stutters even when having hundreds of enemies on screen at once the game ran beautifully and you can tell the devs put in a lot of work.

Theres also a skill tree which let’s you increase certain stats with points you get from each run, as well as a forge to make your weapons stronger.

All in all the game does a great job keeping you entertained and making sure your able to survive as you progress i look forward to seeing what else the devs add to the game thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Chickenauts

Hey everyone hows it going? Today we bring you chickenauts but first a massive thank you to sneaky box, kautki cave for sending me a key its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

So what is Chickenauts its a rougelite bullet hell with a story and one thats honestly pretty interesting you see you wake up to some aliens taking your chickens only problem is the aliens are chickens as well so you grab your shotty and venture into there ship to get your flock back. So during my first run I did decent found a survivor from my farm and saved them as well as my first special chicken which made me laugh when I saw who it was. Theres a few special chickens each with there own abilities and names and honestly they really made the game funny for me there’s also other survivors that will like other games help you in your progress.

Now if you have played games like moonlighter or cult of the lamb where you clear rooms thats the style this game uses the waves spawn you fight and survive pick up your loot and move to the next room now in my play time I havent made it to the end ive come across a few chickens that just kill me fast and with only 3 hearts you dont really get to enjoy the run in my opinion.

For a rougelite and bullet hell its not like the standard games where you kill get xp and level up and get new powers here you find a mad scientist chicken that for some reason is helping you and he mutates the chicken thats with you in hopes of surviving longer.

This game has a great take on the genre and playing as a farmer trying to get his flock is just gold as a chicken owner myself I definitely enjoyed my time with this game and cant wait to see what gets added into the game.

Again big thank you to the devs I look forward to future updates thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Cult of the Lamb nintendo switch version

So ive been playing cult of the lamb on the nintendo switch and I gotta say the game has been a total blast.

For those that havent played or heard of it your a lamb thats sacrificed to prevent a great evil from happening except that by sacrificing you your brought face to face with the great evil who gives you power so you can start a new cult and bring him back to life.

Now this game has a lot of aspects from the dungeon crawling to building up the cult you always have something to do in the game and honestly it never gets old, from rituals to feast to building beds for your followers the game let’s you be who you want either good or evil its your choice and your not punished for it.

Now the dungeon aspect of the game I could compare it to moonlighter you have 5 dungeons each one needing to be beaten a few times in order to unlock the next one and so on but you also find people that help you along the way as well as new followers to worship you as you progress keep in mind each door has to be beaten 4 times on the 4th run you reach the final boss destroy him and unlock the chains on the final door but of course people wanna see you fail and will do stuff in order for you to fail.

Keeping your followers happy is huge and can be done between dungeon runs you clean up after them cook them food perform rituals and so one and the fact is your followers are adorable little animals in your lamb kingdom.

Ive never had so much fun with a game ive spent plenty of time just chilling with my followers making things better for them so they in turn can help me with upgrades and progression.

Cult of the lamb offers you a lot to do so your never bored and it runs great on the nintendo switch other then some small lag spikes and some loading times feel a bit longer the switch plays it like a champ and is the perfect handheld for cult of the lamb, there’s also plenty of dlc available which I havent gotten to purchase any as ive wanted to beat the base game so if you want a fun adventure with lots to do check out cult of the lamb its available on all consoles and pc through steam thank you all take care and game on

Raiders of Blackveil

Hello everyone today I wanna talk to you about a fun rougelite thats ive been playing but first huge thank you to Wombo Games for sending me a key to check out there game so let’s dive in.

You may have heard of Raiders of Blackveil it released with a lot of issues but the devs have been hard at work knocking out issues and updating the game as it goes along and I was fortunate enough to get a key to check out there game after there most recent update so I cant talk about its history just its present but let me tell you im having a blast with the game.

So in Raiders you play from a select few characters trying to take down an evil corporation thats destroying everything around so each raid is where the fun starts you spawn on a sweet ship where its your home base there you have a variety of characters that help you on your missions from Muriel who helps you craft skills to Belmont who’s the merchant where you can buy and sell gear to my favorite the smugglar who will greet you every few levels and give you a chance on getting the best gear out of the game safely even if you die then there’s the big boss Atlas who helps upgrade the world maps so you can find better stuff for your runs and trust me the upgrades are worth it.

Right now there’s only 4 playable characters but from the character screen they plan for 12 which is gonna be awesome cause it adds so much variety to the game im guessing there’s multiplayer since your able to join or host your own games idk I havent been able to try it out being a solo player.

Then there’s 2 raid maps a meat factory and a harvest operation both maps have different enemies and offer there own unique experiences you also get a stash chest with 4 tabs for storing everything you get from raids and yes the chest is accessible across all characters so you dont have to worry about earning loot all over again for a new character run.

The games a rougelite its fun after each floor you pick how you progress there’s floors that grant you perks while others give you money or gear for clearing them you will also find floors with mini bosses and elite enemies you pass through over 20 stages before you go head to head with the boss and man did I get my ass kicked over and over until I finally was able to beat the boss for the meat factory at which point you get the choice to continue forward or extract back to the ship with your goodies.

This game has its own unique feeling between extraction and rougelite gameplay and its worth every bit of action you experience. I cant speak for the history of the game but for the present the game is awesome im having fun even with minimal lag spikes the game plays amazing and I cant wait to see what’s next between new maps and characters i wanna see what the devs at wombo have in store so dont be scared check out Raiders of blackveil and enjoy thank you for stopping by take care and game on.
