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.

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.

Anchor

Underwater Multiplayer Survival Game ‘Anchor’ Swimming onto PC

Build bases and fight and befriend more than 150 players in persistent open-world servers

Zagreb, Croatia (October 27, 2025) – Today, tech-focused veteran indie game studio Fearem is proud to announce the underwater survival crafting game, Anchor, coming to PC. Featuring online multiplayer and a persistent open-world, more than 150 players per server can explore the watery depths together.

After a nuclear holocaust forced humans to find refuge in the depths of Earth’s oceans, you awake as a race genetically engineered to survive in The Anchor, a region carefully modified to sustain your new aquatic life. Build, defend, and fight for your subaquatic home, finding shelter from the ecosystem and other players in these dangerous depths.

Subaquatic life may be treacherous but you don’t need to go it alone as the game’s persistently online servers support more than 150 players on each server, and worlds that continue to exist and evolve even when you’re offline. You’ll remain vulnerable to the environment and other players while you’re sleeping, making secure shelters and player alliances vital. This is made possible by Fearem’s custom networking technology, utilizing the studio’s decade-long history in tech-focused games, including work with other, popular multiplayer titles.

Across Anchor’s vast 16km² open-world map, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to fight – or befriend – your servermates. In diverse biomes such as rocky, coral, and arctic areas, you’ll build bases from crafted and collected materials before defending your community. Face off against powerful clone remnants of an old civilization, raids from other players, and the ultimate underwater predator – sharks, which are attracted by blood and guided by a hunting and feeding system.

Key Features of Anchor

Build Together or Go It Alone: Although Anchor is designed to be enjoyed together with more than 150 players per server, the game will also feature a solo or co-operative multiplayer sandbox mode without the threat of PvP (player versus player) but including resource scarcity and combat with NPCs.
Anchor’s Apex Predator: Sharks play a key role in the game and are part of a predator system which sees them actively hunt and feed. Just like their real-life versions, Anchor’s sharks are attracted by blood and scavenge from corpses and while they aren’t always hostile, you’ll need to stay alert to stay safe.
Advanced Crafting: The rich crafting system sees you not only build your base, but a variety of primitive and advanced tools and weapons. Process ores, metals, shells, and more to develop melee and projectile weapons from Hydro Cannons and the Hydro Precision Rifle, to Obsidian Knives and Crossbows.

Revenge of the Savage Planet

What do you get when your drifting through space arrive at your destination and get a harsh wake up call well you get revenge or so you would hope that’s how we start the game revenge of the savage planet you arrive after an explosion sends everything out of whack but was there an explosion? This game makes me laugh it opens you up to your character watching a video of your employer who hired you for this awesome mission to make other planets worthy of living on but no he’s not into it no more so he waits for you to be billions of miles away and fires you, yeah you heard me you get fired what the heck people.

So this is where you take over your on a random planet no weapons no mods no way of getting home but thankfully your not alone as your A.I buddy is there to keep you progressing.

You eventually reach home base where you set things up and you start researching stuff for your 3d printer so you can survive better the slew of monsters you encounter tho adorable and cute are not to be messed with some explode some spit others charge and your goal is to survive.

This game has some beautiful colors and graphics it reminds me of a cartoon as you play through the planet has lots of points of interest as well as paths you cant travel unless you have the proper upgrades there’s also plenty to do as the story progresses you find out that not everything is as clean and cut as it seems.

Revenge of the savage planet has lots to do multiple planets to explore plenty of animals to gather info on and lots to survive you eventually encounter boss fights the story is fun and definitely keeps you wanting more info on it the game offers a solo player experience or couch co op as well as online co op tho I haven’t tried any of these co op modes I would love to play this game with someone else just to share the laughs from sassy computer friend to weird recorded videos this game is a blast and one I must recommend to anyone looking for some fun games to adventure with that’s all for today keeping it spoiler free enjoy and game on.

Towers of aghasba

So i bought this game on release day me and my friends had planned to get it and play together but all the stories around multi-player left my friends with some doubt so they didn’t get it and here I was out 30 bucks so I played the game and played it I did.

So the premise of the story I’ve gotten so far is that your tribe the shimu tribe once lived on aghasba and the ruler at the time queen chileku basically threw the eco system into complete chaos at least that’s what it seems so far so the people leave cause the island becomes a wasteland leaving nothing but barren land and the evil that has embedded itself on the island.

So this is where the game starts whats left of your tribe escaping there new world from whatever was hunting them sail back to aghasba but wash up on an island just south of the main land this is tutorial island cause it’s basically where you learn to move climb deal with stamina and health as well as gather and farm materials you also gain a few quest to progress the little island.

This little island is where it becomes interesting a bit as you have a seed for a special tree that once thrived there after you plant it the cut scene shows it growing after a bit you meet the first god of the world huldra the forest god a bitter spirit who hates humans for the destruction of the island this is where you start to see how much suffering your tribe is responsible for and you basically become the person to set things right which isn’t bad as some of the greenery you see is beautiful as well as the animals you bring back.

The game runs well has its moments the problem I’m having is the slog of a repetitive grind and after a bit it just wears you down to the point I don’t even wanna play anymore, it took me 4 hours to progress tutorial island and finally reach the main island where your tasked with finding a giant seed from huldra and replanting things meaning once again you gotta rebuild which I don’t mind but honestly the fact that the game really makes u feel like your in a waste land everything is hard to find and you have to worry about the monsters which yes there are monsters the first you see are spiders then you see corrupted people and your expected to survive with equipment that is basic they kill you fast while u barely do damage it’s not fair honestly.

On the main island you do get more cool stuff the fast travel system is portal based you get a mount from a monster called the harelope there’s a item called shimu scope which basically helps identify the creatures around you into your shimudex yes it’s inspired by pokemon but with more info which is cool in my opinion. You find things around the island that talk about the history of the tribe and island which definitely seems useful as you progress.

I’ve only put 12 hours into the game and i know for these types of games thats nothing I’m just having a hard time wanting to play when the grind feels extremely un-rewarding maybe down the road I’ll revisit and make another blog post about it I’m sorry if it feels like I’m bagging on the game I’m not i just feel it could use more tweaking to make it a bit less grindy and easier to get things especially when you need materials for literally everything from weapons to farming tools to buildings if you look survival exploration games this is a good one to pick up yes it does have multi-player once you reach the main island but the progress only be fits the host not the entire party that definitely needs to be fixed if you haven’t picked up this game give it another month or 2 to marinate before you buy it but for now it needs a bit more cooking time, thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.
