Gods Death & Reapers Alpha 4 test

First off I wanna thank wolcen studios for inviting me to this alpha test i had a blast checking out gods death and reapers let’s get into it.

Not many game cinematics capture me right from the start anymore but when I saw the intro video to GDR I had to find out more the scene starts with your character is a 1 vs 5 battle everything is going good until you get stabbed through the heart from behind you drop to the floor dead then out of no where a blinding light surrounds you and your soul starts to leave your body that is until these dark tendrils appear out from underneath you and drag you down into the abyss thus ending the cinematic and im sorry my explanation does not do it justice its something you need to watch.

You wake up in an old Gothic looking world where a voice is telling you how to proceed pushing you to survive and trust me survive you must after some introduction combat and narrative you meet death himself the master of the afterlife appreciative somewhat of your survival he tells you this is your new home an old decrepit castle waiting to be rebuilt from your journeys you see this is where the game starts to smack you around like every other extraction game except in this one you dont get guns or grenades no they went with a much more brutal approach swords javelins and shields and staffs and warhammers this game wants close combat it wants the brutality thats expected when a sword pierces you and sends blood splattering everywhere this is a top down extraction combat game and I for one have loved everything ive seen so far in this alpha test and for an alpha the game is at a great point.

The game throws you into the pit which is the training area so you can find basic stuff and get a feel for the game which is a huge plus no need to rush without getting a feel for stuff, your home base has about 11 different post that must be rebuilt in order for you to use them the main one being the portal which sends you off into the world to fight against monsters and players for loot and survival and trust me survival is key here. Theres also a shop where you can buy basic gear to get you started no free kits here you either get stronger and take it or get lucky and escape with it, which you will find some cool gear in the world ive found a few warhammers and javelins as well as some sweet armor to boost my stats. The black Smith helps to upgrade your weaponry which you will wanna do if you want stronger attacks which let’s be real its a pvpve focused game you wanna make sure your ahead of the fight. Another post is a challenge post where different challenges become available in order for you to earn extra coin let’s face it lots of people will need coin for new gear myself being one of them. Theres plenty more to discover but your gonna have to play the game for yourself in order to find out what they are.

Leader boards the game has a global board for you to see how ypu stack up against the rest and trust me when you go through and see some of these players its a bit nerve wracking and makes you wonder if your gonna come across one of them on your journey which im sure is a huge possibility.

The game is set in a Nordic theme you get 3 maps starting in helhiem and ending in asgard from what the challenges state it seems each map will have different enemies.

The enemies you fight are pretty intense you have swordsman to archers to magic users thats the basic enemies then you have bigger elite enemies that hurt when they hit you and offer the biggest variety in the game then there’s mini bosses that have health bars and well will kick your ass if your not watching or being careful.

The extraction is where the game gets even more tense once you find an obelisk you activate it and a message pops up telling you that you have to kill X amount of enemies and they swarm you fast even elite enemies pop up keeping you on your toes moving is a must or you will lose fast if you manage to survive well you get to extract and return to home-base with your spoils of war.

God’s death & reapers has the making of a fun extraction game and for an alpha the only issue i had was the wait times to find a match felt a bit long but im sure this will be fixed later on I cant wait to see what this game and the devs have in-store for us down the road i am grateful to have been given an opportunity to take part in this alpha. Thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Night Swarm

Hey everyone hows it going today I wanna talk to you about a little gem called night swarm a vampire rougelite thats actually interesting with its own twist, let’s talk about it, But first I wanna thank Fubu Games for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated.

So night swarm is another one of those vampire survivor like rougelite you are Roderic a vampire assigned with bringing back the glory of your people and castle against the war that threatens to engulf everything. So the game feels like a giant board game the characters all have a base like a board game and they walk the same by jumping around I thought this was awesome it made me smile seeing something different.

The game has a skill tree, relics, artifacts and a bunch of other stuff you discover along the way there’s a giant map divided into parts you must unlock and make your way through but after selecting which part you wanna go to you have a path that has many choices and those are the levels you will be playing in this war. The levels have a lot of different factors to them some are boss fights others you fight against elites but there’s also quest to progress the story and so forth.

You also have companions that will offer different boost to you during your runs so your not alone sadly they dont attack which would have been more helpful then just a buff but thats just my 2 cents. Theres also a bunch of companions you unlock using the reputation you earn.

For mission progression you continue along until you see exclamation points floating around certain lvls so far the story seems interesting from the little bit ive gotten from it i do hope more is explained since now I have vampires and werewolves trying to kill me go figure

If your a fan of rougelites and love vampires then this game is for you there’s no price yet as the release date is December 4th but there is a demo live right now give it a shot and enjoy thanks for stopping by take care and game on.

Aethermancer

Hello everyone hows it going? Today we talk about aethermancer a creature battling rouge-like, but first I wanna thank Offbrand Games who were awesome enough to send me a copy thank you guys so let’s talk about aethermancer.

I wasnt sure how to feel about this was it trying to be another pokemon style game or did it have enough carved out that it was different and in a genre with dozens of other creature games how would they stand out.

Aethermancers twist is the fact that the game is a rougelite and everything is done in runs similar to other games until you lose and start over again this is the way of the game. In aethermancer you can capture other creatures to help you on your journey you also get to pick from 4 starters me I went with the fire/earth monster named cherufe my buddy over at savior gaming went with nixie who’s a healer but I was able to find a healer quick and him a fire type. So before every run you can purchase upgrades and items to help you survive and make the runs longer which in these games you need that as some of the monsters you find definitely hurt.

The story is simple and solid as you explore the world and the areas of life and death but thats all your getting from me I refuse to spoil the game for future players. I didnt have any issues while playing the game it runs really good which now a days its a must need since one wrong code can cause a mountain of issues.

The game is a little over 20 bucks on steam and has a good amount of reviews keeping it in a positive stance from over 600 players do I recommend it absolutely more indie games need a chance to shine and aethermancer is one of them thats all for now guys thanks for stopping by take care and game on.

Decktamer

Decktamer is what you get when you mix magic and rougelite let’s talk about it. I wanna thank PR Hound and assemble entertainment for sending me a copy greatly appreciated.

So decktamer what is it well its a rougelite but its a deck battler you start with a set amount of monster cards and while exploring you gotta remember to tame monsters so that you can keep progressing and I gotta say man did I get my ass handed to me multiple times. The rouge aspect comes into play with prizes after each round and choosing what path to follow and I gotta say its hard even after the tutorial and playing on easy the game is hard.

The game immediately throws you into a tutorial so you dont gotta worry about going in blind the game takes care of you it puts you through 5 rounds of combat and item usage to give you a basic understanding of everything best part is how everything is shown to you in a book style as if writing a story as you play.
The monsters are insane looking they have health points and speed points we all know what health points do but speed points determine who attacks first the higher your points the better giving you a slight advantage unless your fighting some crazy strong monsters and trust me you will be fighting them.

The monster cards also have effects and abilities so its basically a traditional tcg but with some sick looking cards and power to play with. After some runs you get items from prizes and if you tamed a monster it shows you what they were best part you can tame more then 1 monster per round as long as you have the necessary items.

Decktamer takes the rougelite genre and gives it its own flavor the game is hard and challenging but not to the point where you rage quit constantly its a good game and if you like tcg style games this one might be your next addiction. Thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

The Spell Brigade

Spell brigade is my newest rougelite and so far one of my favorites it adds its own twist to the genre and hits a home run let’s talk about it.

Spell brigade is another rougelite but with its own flavor the biggest being multi-player yes you heard me right multi-player you can have lobbies of 1 2 3 or 4 players and the game is just as fun with any number of players. Your also a wizard which let’s be real wizards are fucking cool and make everything even better. You also unlock a lot as you play and I do mean a lot there’s enchantments to help boost your starting stats which you unlock more after each run it seems you also have different wizards to play as and unlock more as you progress.

The first wizard is Reginald a calm dude kicking butt with his astral orbs then the second you unlock is the sun mage which has some killer powers on his own every wizard has powers to make your run more interesting and fun and there’s plenty to unlock and play as. The game also has quest you help make the game more worthwhile and interesting as they progress while you play and dont worry about anything else. There are 4 realms to play in and 3 difficulties to master which we know how that goes.

This game has a lot to offer and a road map detailing the future of the game im excited and cant wait to play more of this game now all I need is to get some friends to get this game as well, this game falls into my recommened category cause its fun can be played with friends and is only 9.99 on steam

So thanks for stopping by take care and game on

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.

Grim Trials

Grim trials is a fun little action roguelike with dungeon crawler aspects and lots of hack and slashing. Let’s talk about it.

Prove your worth explore the after life academy a training ground for aspiring Grim Reapers thats basically your jist you pass away and instead of going into the after life your brought to an academy where your told you have potential for being a reaper but first you gotta face the sins of your life literally.

So every dungeon run you face monsters the goal is to find the boss and take them out to progress the story, the game offers lots of crafting as well which you will need so learn it fast or be left in the dust, you have teachers showing you the ropes but in the end its all up to you and how you approach the battles that matter. Crafting is straight forward recipe this materials that and boom new gear which you need cause the monsters are no joke, in a sense the game is the child of hades cause the games share the same aspect of room to room battles with the boss as the final goal.

In my time with Grim trials I have enjoyed it a lot even tho im stuck haven’t been able to make it to the first boss to progress the story now i play a lot of games but this one just kicks my ass no matter how well I do the game smacks me down and screams try harder which i do but no matter what I still lose maybe the difficulty is a bit high or maybe I just need to get gud but the game is worth it so pick it up on steam and give it a shot guys you wont regret it game on.

Jotunnslayer hordes of hel

Jotunnslayer hordes of hel is an action rougelite bullet hell game set in the viking era apart from picking a character and trying to survive not much changes to this game set it apart from others.

So your a viking trying to survive you don’t get to pick a difficulty you start on easy and progress from there if you manage to survive the rounds 15 minute timer then you encounter a boss and well the term survival really comes into play as not only are you fighting the boss but other mobs as well.

The game has a skill tree you invest coin for points so u can unlock more skills and make things easier for you one would hope but the game has a knack for being brutal. You do have classes the barbarian a sorceress and a hunter to start out and you must complete different missions and unlock conditions to get more but most of the stuff isn’t easy and adds to the difficulty meter.

This game focuses on over running you which makes sure you put each action to good use between your dash and skill you need everything to keep going, this game also has mini missions in each round you complete a task and earn more gold to later be used if u survive.

Jotunnslayer prides itself on difficulty added harder runs and challenges as you progress but for the normal action rougelite it looks beautifully graphics wise and really gives you the viking feeling as you play each round if you want a challenge and aren’t scared of dying a couple times the harder the game gets then Jotunnslayer is for you thank you guys for stopping by take care and game on.

Resetna

Resetna follows the tale of resetna a Droid awoken with no purpose yet, after the combat tutorial your thrown right into the game where you take control of resetna and are tasked with completing missions in a desolate world.

Where the first hints of problems come in the intro video and again when your talking to FRED it’s easy to see there’s a much bigger picture here.

The main mystery is a signal that’s taken down and infected others before you, but your new and advance and give hope at least that’s how it seems. The first level is your intro area introducing you to combat and new enemies as well as some lore of the world which it’s easy to see there’s plenty of it.

You get a map which helps as you explore and shows you the different areas many you cant get into until later progression, combat is the basic button mashing till you kill the enemy as well as perry and dodge.

Resetna definitely has a deep story shrouded in mystery and is one i can say if your a fan of action rougelites and platformers then this is the game for you i won’t spoil more i want you to play the game so thanks guys for stopping by and game on.
