Sacrata Playtest

Sacrata was sent to me by the fine folks at SuperLimber Studios and as always I am grateful for the chance to check out there game so lets dive in and talk about it

Sacratas playtest was fun it gave me a chance to experience the first 3 difficulty levels of the first map and I gotta say man was there a lot in there its also chaotic the game is supposed to be a blend of Diablo and path of exile but to me its a rougelite survival game like brotato and vampire survivors only difference being your character is hot as fuck just saying.

So its a rougelite the combat is centered around you getting swarmed and surviving and each stage has missions for you to complete which after the round translate into bonuses for you to use at the shops this game has skill trees crafting shops and character selection amongst other things as well.

How did the playtest feel honestly i couldn’t tell I was in a playtest the game ran smoothly looked great and left me wanting more you find bosses at certain check points of the timer which end up dropping gear that you can equip to help make you stronger.

Majority of rougelites use the same formula this one’s no different but its how the devs execute everything that counts and im looking forward to seeing the final product again thanks to the devs for giving me a chance to play thank you all and game on

Kernel Hearts PS5 Review

Hello everyone today i would like to talk to you about Kernel Hearts, but first a huge thank you to Whitethorn Games for sending me a copy to check out its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

What is Kernel Hearts its an action rougelite with super powered andriod magical girls now if you’ve followed me for a while you know I love rougelites so I went into this game expecting a challenge but holy shit did this game defeat me and just crush me into the ground.

So the world is ending a mysterious tower sits outside the last vestige of humanity and its your job to get in there and find your way to the top to claim victory but sadly this game has proven to much for me I sadly couldn’t even beat the first level, this game adds a danger meter similar to risk of rain but everything is just hard from the start there’s stones that give you health and orbs that act as currency to help you upgrade skills along the way then after you think your ready you find a mysterious figure that telephones you to the boss room where the boss is on a small platform surrounded by smaller versions of himself that do everything they can to kick your ass.

I have done over 10 runs and I cant for the life of me beat level 1 which is supposed to be the easiest of them all I can only imagine how hard the rest of the levels are.

The game offers co op but sadly its not in the traditional sense where you can join a random lobby and progress you have to make your own lobby and hope your friends have the game so you can invite them which sadly I dont have any that play this game.

Whitethorn games definitely have a great game on hand and I wouldnt change anything except maybe make multiplayer searchable instead of needing to give out codes to join that aside Kernel hearts has become the first game to really kick my ass I look forward to see what they add to it thank ypu for stopping by take care and game on

Halloween The Game

Hey everyone hows it going, today i wanna talk to you about Halloween… the game not the holiday lol but first a huge thank you to illfonic for sending me a copy of the game its greatly appreciated.

The game is based hugely around the multiplayer aspect of the game but the game does offer a small story mode made up of 6 chapters that teach you how to play as the iconic legendary killer Michael Myers. The story opens up with the prologue where a massive rainstorm is battering the area near the asylum where Myers is being kept along with himself some inmates are outside as 2 of the workers try to get everyone back in Myers grabs the closest one using him to break down the fence and escape this is where the game gives you the first chance to experience him as pop ups tell you whats going on and how to play you move to escape killing other workers along the way finally reaching the end of the level the doctor responsible for putting you there shows up after some more walking you manage to steal his car and escape for good and that is where the intro chapter stops and the real story starts but if you wanna know more you will have to play the game yourself.

The multiplayer aspect will be very similar to fans of games like dead by day light and Friday the 13th where you have missions to complete in order to open up escape routes but your not alone you have civilians to save each round 3 special ones must escape for bonus points, me ive never played these style games so i was lost as fuck and died plenty which sucks cause the game is fun the map is actual decent in size and you have a lot to do even after you die there’s also different events and quick time events to help you score points for the survivors.

All in all Halloween takes a great established genre and cranks it to 11 the game is cross platform between pc and consoles and it didnt take me long to find a match which is a huge plus for online games the base game is 40 while the deluxe is 60 with some goodies for yourself which if you do story mode you can unlock even more goodies all in all if your a fan of dead by daylight this game is for you thank you for stopping by take care and game on.

Ledgerbound

Hello everyone today we talk about Ledgerbound a fun little game that has comedy is most aspects and some what is going on moments in the next but first a huge thank you to OmniMegaSuperCorp for sending me the game its greatly appreciated also that name just screams villian central just kidding let’s dive in.

So in Ledgerbound you play as Raina an insurance adjuster who makes sure you get fucked over and is only there to make her boss and the company happy and apparently she does as shes the top performer a lot of this game you notice how messed up it is as we go through it on our daily lives but anyways.

The story starts getting juicy when the top hero party and when i mean top I mean there considered above mortals they do no wrong and kick all ass or well they did as you see they wind up dead and its your job to find a flaw in there battle so that we can deny there insane insurance claim and not pay out what could be millions.
So this is where the story gets fun and sees you in the world trying to figure shit out until the bad guys who killed the heros show up and well lets not spoil the fun shall we.

The game throws you into the role of an adventurer with a weird assortment of companions and trust me there weird as hell but it adds to the comedy value this game had me laughing and smiling the whole time while also thinking what the hell was that.

The combat is pretty simple its turned based like old school rpg games and it also uses the old elements system where water beats fire and so forth so you will wanna pay attention when fighting so that you dont screw yourself over.

This game has a lot going for it its not overly complex and even though your trying to deny a claim its fun and is worth a try the price point might be steep for many at 30 dollars but the value is there ive had my share of fun and I wanna see this game find more people so give it a shot you wont be disappointed thank you all have a great day and as always game on

Swordcery

What do you get when you take swords you add more swords then even more swords and multiply that by a billion you get swordcery the ultimate sword rougelite adventure but first i wanna give a huge thank you to Temple Door Games for sending me a copy to check out its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

Swordcery is an action rougelite with a heavy focus on swords of all styles shorts swords great swords duel swords rapiers and so on this game is the borderlands of swords and the name fits when you start discovering just how many swords you get to find and use during your runs.

So whats this game about well a giant sword drops out of the sky impaling itself into a mountain and then the world itself cause a catastrophic event and then the game begins.

So the game uses procedural generation for its world’s so not every forest level you start with is the same and trust me ive started out with quite a few since you know you die a lot each level is broken down into rooms that you clear and then choose a path to proceed each room has a different reward some offer relics others coins my favorite are the sword rooms cause you dont know what awesome sword you will get or what rarity as well.

Each level ends when you beat the boss and so far the forest boss is a hard fucker indeed as his attacks hit hard compare to the damage you do think dark souls but top down style.

Now this is a pc game but thankfully it lets you play with a controller which I highly recommend you use one since its easier to play with one in my opinion as the mouse and keyboard felt a bit complicated for my taste.

The game is fun it reminds me of games like returnal in the sense where you get one life and gotta complete the game in one life this adds a big challenge but eventually you do unlock and discover other stuff that helps you along the way i made it almost to the 4th world before i died but the swords I got to use the enemies I faced and the levels I visited all were amazing and so well done these devs really made an amazing game and i cant wait to see what gets added to the game down the road.

Swordcery is available on steam for 17.99 its not a demanding game so plenty of people will get to play it, again thank you to Temple Door Games for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated have a great day and game on.

Forsaken Realms Vahrins Call

What do you get when skyrim gets a budget and the souls games aren’t dark and gloomy? In my opinion you get Vahrins Call so lets talk about this action rpg that ive been checking out but fiest a massive thank you to Titan Roc for sensing me a copy to check out its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

So Vahrins Call is a Fantasy Action RPG with great emphasis on the fantasy and decent on the action you start the game in character creation make your character and then you get dropped into the tutorial area when its an actual area not a small chunk but a decent area that has signs posted that you click into and give you more information about every button press and action and that for me is a great tutorial definitely wanna see more like this.

After the tutorial you enter the real game and start your journey the reason i compare to skyrim is cause its one of the few rpg I played where I explored a good chunk and always found something new to do and in vahrins call its the same idea there’s so much to explore and find that honestly you can get lost and spend hours the map also has an item marker on the right that tells you what items are in the area and how much as well so if your a perfectionist and wanna make sure you grabbed everything there you go the game keeps track for you.

Theres also a boat load of side missions and I do mean a boat load im sitting on over 12 missions and im mainly just exploring getting a feel for the game.

The story well im sorry I dont spoil stories I like people to discover it on there own but its easy to follow as your the hero and are trying to save the realm.

One of the funniest things ive come across is during combat the human enemies will talk while they fight and my favorite line when you hit them is “your not supposed to fight back” like excuse me the fuck im not ima burn you and slash you till you drop loot like the level 1 peasant you are lmao.

Combat is simple you gain experience with the weapons and items you use as well as the magic and traps everything gives you xp where you can invest skill points into and get buffs and upgrades.

Vahrins call is fun and theres so much to do and it has a decent size map with plenty to find and do and I for one definitely recommend it if your an rpg fan as well now i did mention souls games a bit as when you die or rest in the save points enemies respawn they dont stay dead so always be ready as if your playing with sound the music changes when your being attacked.

Again I wanna thank Titan Roc for sending me a copy its been a blast and thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Doloc Town

Hello everyone hows it going today i wanna talk to you about a little farm sim adventure game called Doloc Town but first a huge thank you to redraw games studios and logoi games for providing me with the key its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

Doloc Town is a big adventure right from the start as your nameless character is on a journey to the legendary eden thats located near doloc town but things dont go as planned as during ypur journey you fall from a massive height some how surviving and being nursed back to health by the first towns person you meet after much talking you end up becoming part of the town and things slowly open up from there.

You soon start to learn how to farm and build and boy is there a lot to learn and theres a decent tutorial even though I feel some aspects of it could add some more details. But in do time you learn and start getting a hang of things theres also a tech tree which also helps you learn new things you can build.
Now the biggest aspect of the game i feel is divided between building up your farm and learning new things to the exploration of the massive world around the town of doloc and trust me explore you must.

The game takes place in a i guess war torn setting maybe something else there is mention of a war from one of the towns people I just like how everything is held together as best as possible showing that even in the darkest times we dont give up.

This game has a massive amount of content to learn and do and honestly its so easy to get lost the cozy vibes the farming and scraping the awesome bad ass drone companion you get to help you stay alive the games been out for over a year in early access and finally enters its awesome 1.0 stage in mear days the devs have honestly made an amazing game and it deserves all the praise it gets so definitely grab doloc town on steam i hope consoles are on there road map cause this game deserves all the attention thank you for stopping by take care and game on.

DragonSword Awakening

Hello everyone today i wanna talk to you about a gem of an rpg ive been playing called DragonSword Awakening but first I wanna send a huge thank you to the team at HOUND13 for sending me the game its greatly appreciated.

Now there are rumors around that this was supposed to be a gacha game but everything was taken out is that true I dont know everything ive played and done so far has been acquired from the game itself the only things I see that cost money are some costumes and the deluxe edition upgrade other then that everything is in game well on to the show then.

So ive been playing deagonsword at a decent pace nothing huge im sitting at 10.3 hours as of this writing but expect that number to grow as I definitely have not scratched the surface of the game.

The game follows Lute after he crashes his ship onto the continent of Orbis in search of meeting with his family but fate has other plans for him as he meets castella and Johnny members of the Johnny mercenaries who are on a crazy quest to complete and trick lute into helping which is where the game starts letting you take over and a simple tutorial progresses you through the area. The game quickly enters you into combat and the combo system which makes combat unique in this game as each character offers there own status effects and combat style.

Soon after your back in town being dragged into a temporary trial with the Johnny group and this is where the story starts to unfold and so far its an amazing story one that has a good amount of plot twist.

The world of Orbis is big the map is huge and you slowly discover it as you go by finding these ancient windmills that clear up the fog in the pertaining area, there are also statues of the goddess that you must rebuild and each statue not only heals you but doubles as a warp point to make travel quicker and trust me travel you will but the game doesnt make you suffer as the game gives you this awesome beetle mount that helps get you around and the best part you use them to climb so you can get to higher areas.

The game also has cooking which is how you make healing items and theres also a blacksmith which helps craft gear so far though I havent seen any new weapons so im not sure if there is any.

Onto the game itself the game is very colorful the graphics feel a bit like genshin lots of colors and beauty the game plays amazing I havent encountered any stutters or frame drops exploring is fun and the cities are filled with life as you explore them you can actually talk to people as some even have quest you can do to earn more xp and materials.

The variety in monsters has been fun from different goblin types to what look like humanoid hyenas and even golems hiding in rock formations as well as bosses and some insane fights that are part of the story.

Ive had an amazing time with the game so far and I definitely recommend it if your a fan of rpg games and dont mind some exploring and questing as you go

Again I wanna thank Hound13 for sending me the game its been a blast and its greatly appreciated thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Granblue Fantasy Relink Endless Ragnarok PS5 Review

Hey everyone hows it going? Today i wanna talk to you about GranBlue Fantasy Relinks base game story but first a huge thank you to Cygames inc for sending me the game its greatly appreciated and an honor to work with these guys for the first time.

GranBlue is an rpg with an amazing story it follows Gran and the crew as they journey across the skydom on an adventure to find the mythical floating island of estalucia This game has so much to talk about so I will do my best to cover most of it.

At first i went into this game thinking it might be a gotcha game having no history with this game i miss judged it and I am glad this game proved me wrong. First let’s talk about the graphics I havent had a game blow me away in graphics since final fantasy X on ps2 the game was just that beautiful between cinematics and cutscenes as well as general environments the game really left me amazed and I did not wanna stop playing i needed to know more of the story and what was going on.

Now i suck at rpg games when they involve stats and weapon stats i always mess them up but some how this game even though it had all that it was fairly easy to understand and to position everything the way i wanted the whole time I played i got massive final fantasy 10 vibes and honestly I loved it and wanted to see what else might have been in the vibe factor. Each character has its own stat tree which is great because it makes sure you pay attention to each character instead of just the one you control and trust me you will wanna invest as some of the fights I had I was way under leveled for.

There are multiple characters you get to use across your journey and even though there’s some in the store you can purchase at 3 dollars this is completely optional as the game has character cards you will find during your play through and you use these to unlock characters even the newest ones added from the dlc.

Theres also a new summon mechanic and transcendence and master levels that come from the dlc which i will talk more when i get to enjoy the dlc as well. Which your probably wondering if its worth the money and honestly yes it is considering how much new stuff is added and the size of the dlc itself absolutely buy it.

The combat system is easy to learn and hard to master between normal attacks and skills as well as link attacks theres a lot happening on screen and I found it easier to use the targeting system so I could keep my main target in focus. Each character has an ultimate attack gage that fills up as your battles progress letting you deal out huge damage if done right.

The places you visit are all beautiful from snow mountains to big city’s and everything in between theres something for you to do in each location and there’s a lot of items to find on each map everytime we went to a new location I would open up my map and run around a la path of exile lol.

Now the story was honestly intense I had moments i didnt wanna stop playing but had to cause you know adulting but man the bond between the party and lyria is insane everyone is one big family and the trials we faced left me with my jaw on the floor the final chapters of the story where everything got even more intense as enemies turned to allies and beyond truly top tier story telling the writers really knocked it out of the park.

Im sorry for so much vagueness but I dont like to spoil story points in my reviews and this game is one huge story so this is a bit hard when I write about the dlc ill do my best to touch more on the story just know that gran was not taking any crap from anyone he was getting lyria back no matter what.

I had a blast with this game sitting at around 16 hours for the base story i have so much more to discover and enjoy and i for one plan on it again thank you to Cygames for sending me a copy i greatly appreciate it everyone thank you for stopping by take care and game on.

HellSlave 2 Judgement of the Archon

Hey everyone hows it going today i wanna talk to you about HellSlave 2 but first a huge thank you to the devs at Dear Villagers for sending me a copy of the demo to check out its greatly appreciated so let’s talk about it.

So honestly this game even with the intro ive had a hard time following what’s going on in the demo but ill do my best to explain what ive been able to understand.

So the world has pretty much gone to shit and there’s a war going on the demo opens up in what I assume is the starting area which is a decent size your trying to meet with a friend why idk it doesn’t really say much.

The combat is turned based and its simple enough hit the keys on your keyboard that correspond to the attack and wait your next turn, the loot that enemies drop even at begginer level you get some decent gear and drops I had a poison set up that was beautiful until I got into a harder area then I had to change everything again to try and progress.

There are side quest you can do i did one where I had to kill a boss skeleton so a merchant could move along and even though he was higher level then me I managed to kill him.

Theres a huge skill grid where you can get your attacks from and its something you can lose hours studying each skill there’s also a passive tree with buffs thats almost the same so much info so little time.

I did have some trouble in the one area a mini boss monster almost 1k life points kept kicking my ass until I bought better gear sadly this game even if you find amazing gear early on it will eventually become obsolete which sucks i had a great set up.

Its a great rpg from the time ive played but I had a hard time following the story im sure others out there will have a better time so keep an eye out for HellSlave 2 its worth playing for the combat and loot.

Thank you all for coming have a great day and game on.
