The biggest addition to Bellwright is the new Halmare Isles map, which is roughly 25% the size of the original game! At over 10 square kilometers, this region includes all new story-based quests with multiple progression lines, expanded armor and equipment, new animals and buildings, and introduces a Loyalty & Faction system.

Other major additions to the core game include full controller support, a Trade and Caravans feature that provides a new layer of strategy as players build and manage a sophisticated logistics network between their outposts, and an improved Walls fortification system that allows players to construct walls for their camps. This includes new gameplay mechanics with specific AI behavior for attackers and defenders, which adds a fresh challenge and more strategic depth to base defense.

There’s a bounty of new customization features as well, like a much improved Character Creator, offering further options and higher fidelity player character models. Fashion-conscious players will also enjoy the New Weapon Types & Cloaks offering more ways to personalize player characters and show off their unique builds and looks. Another quality of life improvement is the addition of Blocking Markers on Building Placement, with a new system that now shows foliage blocking construction areas, along with the ability to task workers with removing the foliage before it is built.
“We’ve been very pleased by player response to Bellwright since launching it on Early Access last year, and we wanted to show our appreciation by refining the game into the expansive, feature-rich survival RPG you’ve dreamed of,” said Creative Director and Project Lead Florian Hoffreither. “Maiden Voyage massively expands Bellwright in both scale and features. It’s now bigger and better than ever and with over one million wishlists, there’s never been a better time to hop in!”

The God Slayer

New Open-World Steampunk Fantasy RPG ‘The God Slayer’ Revealed! Coming to PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Platforms

An all-new original RPG from Pathea Games, the award-winning independent studio behind the multi-million selling ‘My Time’ series, revealed in new CGI and Gameplay Video

Chongqing, China – 4th December: Pathea Games, the studio behind the beloved life-sim series My Time, is delighted to unveil ‘The God Slayer’ – a new third-person, open-world steampunk fantasy, roleplaying game in development for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox platforms.

Enter an Eastern-inspired steampunk metropolis where gods known as Celestials reign with a divine fist! In this premium open-world RPG, you are an Elemancer who refuses to bow to his creators. Infused with elemental powers and a heart of vengeance, you will dethrone them all. You will rise to be The God Slayer.

To get a flavour of this exciting new universe, please watch the CGI cinematic and gameplay trailer here: https://youtu.be/OqN2-oPbne4

YouTube Video.

Long ago, the god‑like Celestials created the human world and all living things in it, designing everything to cultivate a powerful force known as ‘Qi’ to fuel their eternal lives. In this new age, humanity has learned to channel that same qi energy into elemental powers, wielding fire, water, earth, metal and wood through flowing, martial‑artistry. Outraged that their divine energy is being used by mere mortals, the Celestials make a brutal example of humanity by conquering the strongest kingdom in the land in a single night — hunting down and killing the king and the kingdom’s Elemancers. An event remembered as the God Fall.

In this 40-hour story-driven campaign, players assume the role of one of these gifted Elemancers, Cheng, as he seeks to galvanise a resistance against the merciless Celestials. Imbued with a sense of power and anger at the loss of his own family during the God Fall, Cheng embarks on a journey to change his world, avenge the fallen, and slay the gods that have wronged him.

“Thematically The God Slayer is a big departure from what Pathea is known for, namely the My Time series,” explained Zifei Wu, founder and creative director at Pathea. “However we’ve made multiple open-world RPGs before, filled with beloved characters and varied systems for players to experiment with and flourish. The God Slayer has all that and more with our talented development team attempting something darker and more serious in tone, bolstered by thrilling elemental combat at its core.”

Featuring a darker tone than Pathea’s previous games, The God Slayer, features freeform RPG gameplay that players love with fully customisable elemental combat, a giant capital city named Zhou to explore, factions to befriend or belittle, and mission design that enables players to make different choices in how they achieve their objectives.

This exciting new release was first mentioned as part of Sony Interactive Entertainment’s ‘China Hero Project’ at ChinaJoy in 2023. Over the past two years Pathea has been crafting and refining their vision to create a truly immersive open-world story-driven experience.

For a more complete feature rundown please see below:

  • A Reactive Steampunk Metropolis 
    Lose yourself in a unique fantasy steampunk setting, enhanced with Eastern flair. Set foot in the capital city of the Zhou Kingdom, an urban metropolis that is experiencing a technological revolution, with an assortment of airships, steamboats, monorails, and steam vehicles. A fortunate few in the upper class savor the miracle of air-conditioned homes and mechanical washing drums, while in the poor neighborhoods the vast majority still toil in soot-blackened factories or bow beneath the weight of noble privilege. 
  • Customisable Elemental Combat
    Combine water, earth, metal and fire to create powerful attacks and weaponry. Use these abilities to bend the environment to your whim and in direct combat. Experiment with different strategic options and create your own fully customisable fighting style to dominate enemies big and small. Every encounter is a challenge, every battle a chance to unleash thrilling elemental combos that scratch your creative itch.
  • Confront Challenges Your Way
    Missions in The God Slayer will allow players to approach them in multiple ways. For instance, players are free to attack all enemies head-on, they can bribe guards to look the other way, they can activate elemental powers to create diversions / distract enemies, they can pathfind usually hidden side routes and utilize other means to achieve their objective.
  • A Story of Vengeance
    Embark on a thrilling story-driven campaign filled with interesting characters and intriguing twists and turns. Choose your allies, inspire people across the city, and overthrow scheming gods to bring justice to the world.

The God Slayer is currently available to wishlist on Steam and Epic Games Store, with store pages for Xbox and PlayStation 5 coming soon. If you’d like to see screenshots, videos and more as development progresses, please visit The God Slayer’s official website thegodslayer.pathea.net

Pathea also invites everyone to their official Discord channel where they plan on sharing more insights into The God Slayer’s ongoing development.

Forever Skies pc 1.0

Survival games a genre of there own from being stranded on islands to fighting against nature and other people survival games have very seldom strayed from the formula keeping story’s to a minimum but today a new survival game thats graced me with there 1.0 game play has kicked things up a notch and is truly one worth playing.

First off huge thank you to Far From Home for sending me a copy of there game its been on steam early access for a while but now with its 1.0 its also available on consoles so check it out.

Humanity has abandoned earth those able to leave live in space on the Ark those left behind well they have suffered a great deal with this catastrophe. The people on the Ark are dying from a virus named the Grey Plague with no cure in sight they launch you the player back down into earth to find a cure go figure.

So on earth nature has taken over theres haze and dust everywhere and humanity lives in the sky. So what’s going on here i dont know or do I.

So you crash land at the coordinates of the last surveyors that were there on the same mission and this is where the tutorial starts showing you what to grab and what to find you manage to find a device that basically breaks items down to a molecular level at least thats the animation the items fit normally in your bag but this is how you get materials with this molecular extractor. Then you are tasked with repairing a ship and finding the resource scanner which helps you identify things and learn what they are what they do and where to find them.

Theres so much to do after the tutorial the story involves you finding the people that came before you so lots of random flying until you find new buildings and discover more. You will find random data pads some have missions other tell the stories of the people before you and continue the story mission.

This game for a survival game offers so much on the exploration building up the awesome ship you find and just chilling as you slowly float along I promise you its worth it the scenery though morbid it offers its own unique beauty.

Now onto the issues ive found the biggest being the radar map you find a radar blueprint and build it this is how you get to places easier and learn where to go but the issue is your stuck with a tiny ass screen instead of being able to blow it up much bigger like seriously then on top of that the random markers on the map have so descriptions to figure out what they are a big let down I feel the map coulda been bigger even if covered by a fog of war effect. Then materials it took me forever to find enough copper to build the next upgrade I needed cause the copper is only in one item im sorry ive passed a million things that could house copper but no they make it so scarce that its a bit demoralizing I wanted to quit plenty of times but I kept pushing I wanted that upgrade and im glad I did push forward the upgrade is a massive game changer but they need to make copper findable even in small amounts.

Other then those 2 complaints I have enjoyed my time with Forever Skies and I am thankful to be able to play it I highly recommend it to fellow survival fans and if you stopped playing cause of early access do yourself a favor go back the game is amazing.

The flying in this game is so good I wasnt sure what to expect even on mouse and keyboard you feel the resistance of the throttle engaging the ship slowing down and stopping as well as taking off and landing the flying alone is a massive win a solid 10 outta 10.

As for the story well guys I dont ruin stories you will have to play and find out, thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Romancing Saga Minstrel Song Remastered International

A game that calls itself an rpg but in what sense let’s talk about it.

First I wanna thank red art games and square Enix for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

When you think of rpg’s you think of xp grinds lots of missions levels and items to get you through and thats what I thought of when I received this game but boy was I wrong. Theres 8 characters so I thought awesome 8 different views to experience so my first pick was a character called Gray I started out talked to people learned the basics from a kid that has tons of info then left the area into the wide open world to do a mission this was my first red flag as once I loaded in I find dinosaurs in front of me im like ok let’s do this I attack then they hit me and boom I get one shotted im like ok must be a fluke try again and nope I get one shotted so I figure im to weak and need to avoid them boy was I wrong as the npcs are so fast you cant run away I played a good hour in the same area before I raged quit and started over.

Next character was sif a female warrior who had the most hp and a variety of weapons she starts out in a frozen tundra first mission is clear out the caves from monsters running a muk in the area ok no problem I leave the village and make my way into the world find monsters in the way I fight them there manageable so I make it pass until I get to the first boss in the first cave I visit we start the fight I hit him he hits me and boom red flag number 2 as im once again one shotted I give it another 2 tries same outcome at this point I take a break and message my friend about my dilemma he was also sent a key.

And this is where the game starts to ruin you as my friend tells me that out of the 8 characters only 2 are begginer friendly so of course I have to restart for a 3rd time by this point the games already left a sour taste in my mouth but I proceed as I really wanted to experience the game so the character I pick is Albert literally the weakest health points wise so his story starts I explore a bit then find my first mission with my sister and guards we manage it no problem I learn more of the combat system and see that your stats increase during combat progression so im like cool this I can manage but boy am I wrong.

You see in a traditional rpg game you are rewarded for grinding you level up its how you learn new spells and attacks so I put that knowledge into this game and start grinding a bit when I come across monsters that are in my way but here’s where the game screws you over again you see the game has a mechanic called the event rank. And that ladies and gentlemen is the biggest middle finger this game gives you you see the game wants you to strictly follow the story and keep exploring and monster hunting to a very small minimum if you fill that event rank to much the monsters you find start getting stronger and stronger and then your shit outta luck as you start to struggle again. Now you would think no problem let me go to a store and buy new spells and weapons maybe some armor but nope red flag number 4 pops up everything is super expensive and you earn peanuts from monsters you vanquish. So now all traditional rpg sense is out the window what kinda game is this even the souls games let you grind for levels and money without any consequences so what do you do? Well I kept pushing and raging and little by little ive progressed the story and I gotta say this game is absolutely not for me I dont know who designs an rpg that punishes the players but this shouldn’t be allowed to use that title this game will be for a very niche crowd which saddens me as I really wanted to experience it and enjoy it the code they sent me was for the nintendo switch version and the game fits perfectly on it ive had no issues that might happen with other titles but sadly this game just isnt for me I hope they find there crowd but I cannot in good faith recommend this game it is to difficult and after a while feels more like a chore then an actual game.

I hope there able to find there crowd it plays wonderfully on the switch and could be a great handheld experience but thats all for now thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

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.

Lightyear Frontier


Hello everyone, first off I wanna thank Framebreak for sending me a copy of Lightyear Frontier its greatly appreciated so let’s jump in.

Lightyear frontier is a crafting survival game in outer space on another planet you crash land on the planet after your ship malfunctions leaving you stranded with no way to get to your original destination if there is one. So you walk around trying to find your stuff from your ship and when you find everything you got a bad ass mech suit waiting for you to use it and use it you do.

So your tasked with finding a good spot for your home base and starting to build a homestead and yes its a homestead cause there’s a lot that makes it one after some initial questing you get free rain and can do what you want and here is where the game shines.

So again the game is a survival game you build a house and make some furniture and on the top right you notice a cozy meter that goes up the more stuff you place in your house and around the stuff you build the cozy meter has 4 levels which each offer its own rewards which in return gives you some benefits. You also have an inventory meter tracking how much your carrying and lastly is the day watch which cycles through the day and night times telling you what time of day your in as well as what weather is going on around you.

Since this is a survival game your wondering where does it kick in and well it kicks in now you see you harvest trees, bushes, fruits, ore and water in order to progress your missions and home stead the biggest problem I came across was the farming you spend most of your time finding fruits using a machine to turn them into seeds so you can plant them and multiply now this wouldnt be so bad but the problem is you spend most of your time farming instead of adventuring out of my over 30 days of in game time ive spent most of it farming and gathering food then doing much exploring which I have explored ive discovered about 30 percent of the map.

Now as a survival game you would e,pest a hunger and thirst meter but this game doesn’t have one so your wondering why do I gotta farm and to this I say look up… when you look up you see your planet is surrounded by other planets and a space station and apparently there all in desperate need of help so help you must and this is how the farming comes into place your making tons of food to send to these planets using an awesome delivery cannon you build. Sadly which each mission of help you complete they double in request leading you into a never ending cycle.

The map as I said earlier ive e,plowed about 30 percent and personally I feel this map is way to big for single players but thats my honest opinion the game does offer multiplayer but sadly I wasnt able to try it out as my friends schedule never matched up with mine but I do hope to try it out in the future at some point. The map has 4 areas that you discover and each area has a bunch more that you need to discover is it easy no are there hostiles around the map just 1 this floating yellow spiked orb that if your not paying attention will rush you and explode now it doesn’t do much damage but careful cause they usually float in bunches of 10 or more. The map has plenty to discover and to explore and all I say is wow this game is beautiful.

The game has a beauty that makes you just feel at ease and vibe out no worry about if your gonna die or lose stuff, I loved some of the flora around the map beautiful trees that reminded me of cherry blossoms and colorful plants and bushes the best part are the wild animals you find along the way that you can feed yes you read that right you can feed the wild life and show them love.

The mech is also cool since your using it 100 percent of the time the mech has different modes to help you on your journey i tried to play with these modes but sadly I couldn’t drive them properly they felt way to sensitive on the turns but in normal mech mode it worked fine for me.

The game offers mods and upgrades to help make your survival better and trust me you will need em as when your gathering materials your bag fills up very quick, the mods range from more bag space to more sprint speed as well as mods for the tools you use from the mech to give them different abilities.

This game isnt your traditional survival game its offers a relax feel to the genre instead of stressing out constantly you can vibe out and go at your own pace and dont need to worry about food shortages or crafting materials.

They also just added more content to the game adding new machinery and more raw material sizes to make things a bit easier for you.

All in all lightyear frontier is an amazing cozy survival game that I highly recommend yes you can play it alone but I would suggest some friends to make progress a little easier I give this game a solid 8/10 again I wanna thank frame break for sending me a code have a great day everyone and game on.

DustPunk

First off huge thanks to Clockwork Bird for sending me a copy of dustpunk its greatly appreciated let’s talk about it.

Dustpunk is a tabletop steam punk rpg with a great story and choices that have consequences but thats what makes this game so compelling to play, if you’ve played dungeons and dragons then you will feel right at home with this as every action requires a dice roll to complete and trust me you gotta score decent or that game kicks your butt for it.

So your starting stats are determined by which of the 4 characters you wish you play you’ve got a write, a criminal, an engineer and finally a veteran each character has a strong stat which you would think would benefit you more but it doesn’t feel like it sometimes.

You come home from the war in a dead barge as you were confused for being dead and this is where the first of many rolls start as your fighting for survival and as we know every action has a reaction for me I was screwed right from the start I got a decent roll but still ended up with a broken leg as I escaped the body purge. And after that my hard story begins I had picked an engineer since they sounded the best in my opinion but man was everything a struggle.

The game has 3 status bars that are followed and are honestly a reminder of how real the game feels the first bar is energy which you gain from eating and spend it with every action you take the next is the health bar which fills with food as well I call this the stomach bar because it drains fast and takes a bit to get it under control and finally the bar that cursed me and was my bain is the sanity bar which fills with almost everything major that happens to you and if you dont get enough sleep it fills up more as well I felt this bar was a bit over powered in the sense that everything hurts you and barely anything helps you, the sanity bar is also tied into the dice system see if you fill the bar your dice gets a skull killing whatever number was there and making your dice rolls even harder this had screwed me as I had 3 skulls before I finally lost in my run even tho I had discovered so much and was working and meeting people I could not get the sanity bar under control I feel this needs a bit of tuning to maybe not be so punishing or to offer other ways to make it go down.

This was my first tabletop style game and I gotta say I loved every minute of it even with everything working against me the stories you find really draw you in and make you feel as if your actually there surviving the choices you make. Dustpunk is one of those games where morality doesn’t exist as every choice is you living and breathing to move forward and there’s lots of choices the map is actually pretty big even tho most of it is covered by clouds until you discover it sadly I got close to getting to the second area but I died ending my run.

This game has massive replay ability and if you love making hard choices and consequences then this is the game for you each run will feel hard but rewarding in the sense that you breath just a few more hours until something else tries to take you out.

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.
