Hell is Us – Demons of Boredom [Early (Final) Thoughts]

This is not a full review of Hell is Us, since I haven’t completed the game, but I felt I had to give my opinion on what I have played so far. Now, when I tried the demo, I got impressed, despite the large sword-anime antics, which is something I’m allergic to for the most part. Even so, the story felt mysterious, and the world, while being fairly large with plenty of areas to seek out, still felt tightly designed with an enjoyable dungeon to tackle at your own pace. I thought the full game would follow this premise, but so far, that’s not so.

Sword Hero demo – Success and future

It seems the Sword Hero demo was met with a lot of positivity by the public, which makes me happy, as the potential here for a solid action/rpg is huge. The developer has some interesting plans for the future. I thought the Kickstarter would be next on the list, but it isn’t. Work on the Alpha build takes priority, to have something more substantial for the Alpha backers when it releases. This means that the Kickstarter won’t launch until next year, January. Some time until then, in other words.

It makes sense, though, but I was sure the demo was the one showcase for Kickstarter. However, it doesn’t matter that much to me, beyond that it was a success. It would have been a waste to see all that potential run out into the sand. If you want to see his roadmap for the future, I have linked a picture after the jump!

Space Scum – Playtest Impression

I got invited to the playtest of Space Scum over Steam and after about two hours of destroying lizard mutants in the desert, I’m ready to give my initial thoughts. But first, it must be said that this version of the game is in a really early alpha stage, filled with bugs a-plenty, and a somewhat stunted AI (according to the devs themselves). However, even for feeling a tad spartan, especially in flair and lore, it shows potential for a nice Battle Brothers romp.

Sword Hero – Demo Impressions

Now, here we have a game with some serious potential, for everyone that loves the Gothic, and the Elder Scrolls series. The Sword Hero demo is rather short, as you are limited to five arena battles, with increasing difficulty depending on the foe. However, what is showcased here is nothing short of amazing. Especially if you enjoy heavy system based RPGs/action games. By that, I mean how stuff interacts with each other, primarily through a damn cool physics engine. Expect hilarious ragdoll slapstick, which is right up my alley.

D.O.R.F – Infantry Combat [Trailer]

D.O.R.F is an upcoming indie RTS of the classic nature (think 90s) that I haven’t posted about before. However, I thought it was high time now with their latest trailer that focuses on the infantry aspect – my favorite aspect of any RTS. The trailer showcases their usefulness, how they might be used during play, and how much punishment they can take before the eternal oblivion embraces them. Things are looking good, and it seems tactics might actually be a thing, instead of just right-clicking for the blob to consume everything labeled “enemy”.

The combat actually reminds me of Blitzkrieg, in visual sprites, and animations, including the gameplay. It’s a realistic approach, but with the reins fairly loose to give the poor digital men a fighting chance. Check out the trailer after the jump!
