Did you notice we skipped a month there? Instead of Cult of the Fiver, I was swamped with game demos and impressions from SxSW. Now that THAT backlog has been cleared, let's dig into some new cheap games! This month's inductees into the cult are Valiant Hearts: The Great War, Road Not Taken, Vertical Drop Heroes HD, Wrack and The Weaponographist.
The Weaponographist is a top-down arena combat hack-n-slash game from Puuba, makers of Concursion. We saw The Weaponographist at the Media Indie Exchange booth at the SxSW Gaming Expo. With its release imminent, they've given me a copy to put through its paces. I've spent a good dozen hours with the game now, so it's time to pass judgement. What's the deal with the Weaponographist? Should you play it? Let's find out in my Weaponographist review.
Pixel ru² is the debut game from C63 Industries, a partnership between two life-long tech geeks. We played a bit at PAX South, and wrote up our impressions as part of Indie HYPE. Now that the game is on Steam in Early Access, C63 co-founder Wolfenhex shot me a key to check it out further.
Some games have a way of hooking you, and setting the hook deep. Darkest Dungeon not only accomplishes that, it has a class with a hook for a primary weapon. Yes, it is brutal. It is dark, creepy, and sometimes tense. Unlike a lot of games of its ilk, sometimes adventurers just... don't make it out. I already shared a few initial impressions over on Kotaku, but now that I've had a chance to play it for a good chunk of time I thought I'd share some additional thoughts. Yes, I've died numerous times - and you can bet that unless you are incredibly lucky and conservative you probably will too.
Wrack is a stylish first-person shooter from Final Boss Entertainment. We saw Wrack at PAX South 2015, and it took home our "best FPS of show" award! At the show we only got a little taste of the game, though. Shortly after the con, Wrack went on mega-sale and I couldn't help but pick up a copy. In this article, I'll give you all the gory details in my Wrack review!
I Am Bread flopped its way out of Steam Early Access this week and landed flat onto the hot coils of the Steam New Releases page. Is this "bread simulator" the neatest thing since... well, sliced bread? Or is it half-baked? Let's find out in my I Am Bread review!
Recently, after a half year hiatus, I was finally able to play Vault of Glass... and I was blown away. The play through was epic, but what is even more surprising is the fact that this content has been in the game since shortly after launch, yet I may never have played it simply because I didn't have a big enough group of Destiny friends. "End game" content of this style has some significant downsides. In this article I'll dissect the problems and pose some thoughts on a better solution that hopefully Bungie (or their competitors) will figure out.
Top-down 2D space sims are a classic genre almost as old as gaming itself. VoidExpanse is a modern entry in this genre, billing itself as a fusion of old school mechanics with modern conveniences. This is another genre I have fond memories of, and I personally am happy to see renewed interest in. But is VoidExpanse worthy? Let's find out in my VoidExpanse review.
Ironcast is a roguelike match-3 puzzler that we checked out at SxSW and took home a copy for review. I've been bashing my head against the wall with this game, trying to beat the campaign. In this quickstart guide, I'll explain how to get ahead in Ironcast and push the French back to France (where they ostensibly belong) without losing your jaunty monocle in the process.
You may think you've got Crossy Road all figured out, but without the tips in my Crossy Road guide, you're just another bug splattered on a windshield. Although Crossy Road is a simple game, there are a few interesting wrinkles in the formula that new players overlook. How many of these Crossy Road tricks do you know?
