A Bit Of Bleak Sword - A Sneak Peek

Hey there, Thanks for tapping into my latest stab at the indie gaming world- specifically, developer more8bit's hack and slash adventure, Bleak Sword DX. Essentially, this is a vastly expanded version of the original IOS game- with both new and remixed levels. But, I'm getting ahead of myself. A Bleak Future The story begins with the fall of a kingdom- courtesy of the Bleak Sword. This dread weapon had found it's way into the hands of a member of the royal family, the wretched weapon corrupting them so thoroughly, that they enthusiastically engage in a bit of familicide in order to ascend to the throne.

Cyberpunk 2077 meets Sekiro in this action-packed 2D platformer

SHOULD I PLAY NINE SOLS? Play it. In its current demo version, Nine Sols offers less than an hour of great storytelling and fun hack-and-slash gameplay, but it’s totally worth the experience. While a few balancing issues need to be addressed before the full release, Nine Sols has become one of my most anticipated games for next year. TIME PLAYED I played Nine Sols for forty minutes, which was enough time to complete the entire demo, including one boss fight. The demo took me through most of the first chapter of the story, and I’m eager to see how the plot opens up from here when the full game comes out.

Best Roguelike out There? - Dead Cells Review.

If you never played Dead Cells you are missing out a lot! I was one of those people, and I am glad that I gave it a go, even though Metroidvania isnt my favorite kind of games. This is a masterpiece like no other and everyone should play it just to know how perfect roguelike game feels like. Gameplay You play as some parasite organism that takes over dead body and uses it in order to move through the dungeon. Tutorial is very short showing you just some basic things, and then you are being thrown straight into action.

This difficult, old-school RPG has the longest name I’ve ever seen for a video game

SHOULD I PLAY MON-YU? Let me start with a warning: despite the intriguing name and the cutesy character art, Mon-Yu is a hardcore dungeon crawler, something along the same lines as the Etrian Odyssey series. I know I’m not alone in loving that stuff, but I also know it’s not for everyone. If you are someone who also enjoys slowly filling in each square of a grid-based map, and carefully choosing your actions each turn,

Binding of Issac meets Vampire Survivors in this busted bullet hell roguelike

SHOULD I PLAY TIME TO STRIKE? If you like finding ways to break your favorite games, stop what you’re doing and download the Time to Strike demo right now. This bullet hell roguelike starts off simple, but it lets you mod your weapons in some truly insane ways. Want a gun that spawns explosive critters? How about a baseball bat that fires shurikens? Time of Strike lets you do all that and more, and it’s a blast. Finding the best weapon synergies felt like solving a puzzle, and that made putting together an overpowered build extremely satisfying.

Steam users say this roguelike deck-builder is too hard - here’s why they’re wrong

I’ve been completely obsessed with Wildfrost since it came out, so I was surprised to discover it’s getting mixed reviews on Steam. According to reviewers, it’s wildly unbalanced. The heroes are too weak, the enemies are too tough, and the random elements make it impossible to build a solid deck. All of these things would be valid complaints, except for one teensy problem: they’re completely wrong.

What if an MMO had permadeath and bullet hell combat? Welcome to Darza’s Dominion

SHOULD I PLAY DARZA’S DOMINION? If you’re looking for a unique take on MMOs, Darza’s Dominion might be worth checking out, but I’d strongly recommend playing the PC version rather than mobile. This action-RPG mixes elements of massively multiplayer games with bullet hell action, permadeath, and pixel art. It makes for a very original experience, even compared to other retro MMOs like Realm of the Mad God

Play a weird western with crazy cultists and one-shot kills - Kill the Crows Quick Review

SHOULD I PLAY KILL THE CROWS? Play it if you’re a fan of top-down shooters or are looking for a simple, old-school game you can play in short bursts. Kill the Crows is a western about a lone gunslinger on a quest for revenge. There are no bullet sponges here; players, enemies, and even bosses can be felled by a single bullet, and just one mistake can bring a run to an end. At first, this felt frustrating, but once I got into the swing of things, racking up one-shot kills was incredibly satisfying.ᅠ

The Binding of Isaac meets Dark Souls in this addictive dungeon crawler

SHOULD I PLAY DEVIL SLAYER RAKSASI? Totally play this. Devil Slayer Raksasi takes the top-down roguelite approach of The Binding of Isaac and layers on a dark fantasy vibe that would be at home in a FromSoft game. This tough but addictive combination left me wanting to keep playing even after I’d wrapped up the demo. Thankfully it has multiple characters to try!

Wanna get to level 9999? Disgaea 7 is as over-the-top as RPGs get, and that's a good thing

SHOULD I PLAY DISGAEA 7? Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless is a return to form for the Disgaea series. It’s a perfect blend of grinding, boundary-breaking gameplay, and silly storytelling. If you’re not a fan of the franchise, it probably won’t win you over, but if you’ve enjoyed other Disgaea titles or are curious about the series, this is a game you won’t want to miss. I’ve enjoyed every second I’ve spent with

This retro hack-and-slash is one of the hardest games I’ve ever played - Bleak Sword DX Quick Review

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Skip it, unless you really love (and are really good at) fast-paced action games like Hades. Bleak Sword DX is an action-adventure hack-and-slash game that features a dark fantasy theme. I found its gloomy, pixel-art visual style appealing and pleasantly frightening, but most of the exhilaration I felt while playing was dragged down by punishing and frustrating game balance.

Blade of God Fiend Compendium

Remember Stargate? It's back—in real-time tactical game form!

For a certain type of dorky kid growing up in the '90s, the Stargate franchise was a formative gateway into goofy-yet-fun, low-budget sci-fi adventures. Beginning with the 1994 movie Stargate, the series quickly expanded out into multiple TV shows, comics, cartoons, books, and yes, video games. And while there hasn't been much going on with this IP in recent years, that's finally changing this week, as an all-new Stargate game has just launched...and you can even play the first mission for free.

A sloppy Vampire Survivors clone that apes Don’t Starve’s art style

SHOULD I PLAY WILD LEGION? In its current demo form, you’re safe passing on this one. Wild Legion is yet another Vampire Survivors clone, but it fails to capture a lot of elements that make this type of game actually click so strongly with players. On top of that, the best part of the game—its stylish visuals—appears to be lifted wholesale from Don’t Starve.

Hunt The Night: An Isometric Nod To Bloodbourne?

Hey there, and thanks for tapping on my review of Moonlight Games, Gothic Zelda-like, Hunt The Night. A project I've had my eye on for quite some time, given it looked deliciously inspired by Bloodbourne. That said- was this action adventure derivative- or an artful homage?
