Hell Let Loose Vietnam

So what is hell let loose its a military sim game focused on realism and playing as a squad working with your team mates to capture objectives and this iteration takes us to the jungles of vietnam but first a huge thank you to Team 17 for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated so let’s talk about it a bit.

Now as an avid FPS gamer most of my games have been battlefield with a dab in counter strike and rainbow 6 siege I did try the original hell let loose but since I didnt have people to play with it was difficult for me to learn the game so when I got sent vietnam I said let’s give it another go and these are my thoughts.

First off i know im blind as fuck but how can the enemy team see me from hundreds of meters away kill me instantly when im still in a city I get it they want realism but its insane when you cant even tell where the enemy is or where your getting shot from I know I know realism. Yes I suck I admit that and even with taking my time and trying to learn the games vibes I was getting my ass handed to me and im sorry but I play games for fun not to be pissed off if I wanna rage and quit ill go play a souls game.

The game does have an extensive tutorial which helps out players like me who are complete noobs but it doesnt give you better eyes sadly so your stuck suffering.

The few games I played i did get lucky with a few kills but I was mostly dying past the point of frustration I can definitely say hell let loose vietnam is not for me but for fans of military Sims please give it a chance you might have better luck then me.

Graphics wise everything looks amazing for a game and im surprised how well the game performs and runs with so many players on the field at once the devs behind this truly know what there doing.

All in all if you want realism here you go the game is solid but definitely not for me i appreciate the devs hooking me up with a copy theres a road map on there steam page thank you all for stopping by take care and game on

Blightstone

Hello everyone today we get to talk about Blightstone a dark fantasy turned based action rougelike but first huge thank you to Unfinished Pixel for sending me a review copy its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

At first I thought this was a squad based bullet hell game thats was my mistake I didnt read the email properly my mistake but what I got was so much better and a lot more tactical where every move you make is life or death and choices mean everything.

So what is blightstone its an dark medieval fantasy turned based rougelite rpg thats straight from the email so we all know rpg’s have great story and this is no exception and the story starts at the tutorial. Yes thank lord there’s an actual legit tutorial that gives you a break down of the characters how to move what to watch and check every skill. Truly thank you Unfinished Pixel for this and the fact its right at the main menu under its own section meaning you can play it at anytime to brush up is even better in my opinion.

Players will lead a small party of great warriors on a journey that transcends time itself as you must take a living crystal thats bound to you by fate to the end of the world, every run every failure every mistake is another scar that dooms our world to end untimely, but wait every run also is met by a chance at victory which brings a chance at a new build new skills new gear all while the chaotic world around you is swallowed by darkness.

Here’s a small excerpt from the email.

In the world of the Blightstone you’ll find deep strategy, blended seamlessly with roguelike progression. Your mission? To protect the Earthglass Crystal, and deliver it to the Infernal Rift. Only by doing this will you be able to destroy the demon overlord Korghul, and shatter the Blightstone itself.

So that crystal thats follows you around is key to saving the world but can we save it and at what cost you see this is where the game transcends time as everytime you die well I cant spoil it you will have to play to find out.

The combat is great even for a turned based game and even better if the fact the environment works both for you and against you either by having a wall blocking your aim or a fire barrel near the enemy primed for a spell to set it off make sure you study your surroundings before you start the fight every detail is a small aid to victory.

Heros come to your aid along your journey you will find others to aid you in the fight against evil so dont worry your not alone the world will answer.

The map is probably my favorite part you get to choose the path you want theres multiple points of interest and combat and every so often you camp out at night in hopes of healing a bit before you continue.
All in all Unfinished Pixel has a great gem here and the polish is insane the game feels buttery smooth and the story even tho the main good guy pisses me off is interesting and will draw you in to continue playing so pick up blightstone for 15.99 its worth it for the replay ability alone thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.
