Currently Playing: Vultures: Scavengers of Death [Almost a Review]

After reaching about the halfway point of the new release Vultures: Scavengers of Death, I decided to make an appreciation post in favor of the game. The reason: It’s a pretty good indie game, and it’s probably the best iteration for anyone looking for the classic Resident Evil feeling, where mood and atmosphere have been captured splendidly—and it’s not even in the same gameplay genre! So, read this article from someone who is currently knee-high in zombies—meaning, don’t take it as a full review. Here goes.

The Dark Rites of Arkham – The Swearing Detective [Review]

The Dark Rites of Arkham could exist in the same world as Dreams in the Witch House, going by the visual style and gameplay. However, the one thing that crashes the illusion is that the story of Walter Gilman and the Witch is in The Dark Rites of Arkham.

Menace – Early Access Impressions

The early access release of Menace is here, and after giving it twenty sweaty coffee-infused hours like the nerd that I am—I’m ready to give my first early impressions. While I do feel it’s a much better experience than the demo, since we are actually in control of progression and the campaign now—sadly, my issues with the general gameplay remain. This means that the combat is still mostly abstracted, with a strong wargame (board-game) feeling that work against the immersion in parts.

Swordhaven: Iron Conspiracy – Side-quests or Die! [Review]

Welcome to AtomTeam’s third RPG: Swordhaven: Iron Conspiracy. If you have played any of their former projects, like ATOM RPG: Post-apocalyptic indie game, or ATOM RPG Trudograd, you know what to expect here. It’s essentially the same type of roleplaying experience—created in the same engine, following the established structure, and gameplay mechanics they created. However, this time they are ditching the radiated wasteland for a lush low-fantasy medieval world, where the sword rules instead of the rifle.
