Crow Country (Review): New Nostalgia

Crystal Comet (Review): Teenage Alien Pilot Organisms: SHMUPS in Time
Переглядів 4921 день тому
Yes, the title somehow makes sense in the context of this review. This Key was obtained from the developer for review purposes. Crystal Comet is a weird situation where I have a lot of complaints about the base gameplay, and yet you wouldn't necessarily know it by my base score. The thing is, when it comes to the SHMUP/Coop/Competitive/BeatEmUp type formula, there's not a lot of games like it. ...
Death of a Wish (Review): Malice of Malevolence
Переглядів 327Місяць тому
Sometimes, Wishes can be as Dangerous as a problem itself. This key was obtained via Keymailer. Death of a Wish is an action RPG that changes the formula slightly in a couple of ways, and shows the strength of smart yet purposeful game design. It understands what kind of game it wants to be, even with a scratchy presentation and some hard topics at the core of its game. But is it for you? That'...
Necrosmith 2 (Rambling Review): Bring Out Your Dead
Переглядів 208Місяць тому
A little glue and Necromancy goes a long way. This key was obtained from the developer for review purposes. Necrosmith 2 is more of what you'd expect from the game about raising an army of the dead through whatever parts are just lying around, but can this sequel earn a spot in your library of strategy games? I take a look in this rambling review, and how a fatal flaw could easily put the game ...
Berserk Boy (Rambling Review): The Review Where I Mention Mega Man X Way Too Often.

Berserk Boy is an interesting case where I was expecting one thing and got another. Not to say what I got was bad, but in this review, I go over exactly what Berserk Boy did well, what it didn't do well, and why I think it might have been a blockbuster if i...
Slave Zero X (Review) - Volatile Vision
Переглядів 4052 місяці тому
Somewhere, Dragnix is still screaming about non-Reinhardt killing him right now. Sometimes a game does so many things right, but gets dragged down but what it does wrong. It's a matter for the player on whether the game is worth tracking through the mud of the game in order to experience the highs that the game has. Slave Zero X is the prime example of a game that is going to be divisive, espec...

Turnip Boy Robs a Bank (Review): Turn-about Timer
Переглядів 1333 місяці тому
Turn-about is fair play. Sometimes though, it may be a switch of a formula that stumbles over itself. Turnip Boy Robs a Bank is one of games that I was looking forward to when I heard it announced, and I now have mixed feelings on. While the majority of people think it's a step in a better direction, I'm not entirely sure that's the case with some of the stumble that it ran into. In this review...

Brush Burial (Review): Immersion Interrupt
Переглядів 3095 місяців тому
Sometimes, you wish you had a built in GPS. This key was obtained from the developer for review purposes. Sometimes, a game gets bogged down under its own systems, and not because of any technical fault, or skill by the developer. The immersive sim genre is not one that's easy to pull off at a low budget/resources, but Brush Burial still does have several positives to work with, so I take a loo...

    Hey thanks so much for the honest review. Much appreciated! Just a note: The game can be played with mouse & keyboard but it isn't recommended. The "true last boss rush" mode is the games 'hard' mode but wont be too difficult for veteran shmuppers (that was added at a later date). Thanks again.

      Honestly, it should have happened earlier from me, but this review in particular was one that I had trouble with from a couple of standpoints, spoilers and writer's block in particular. I'm glad that I kept at it, I'm happy with the output of it, even though I left a lot on the cutting room floor. It's also done surprisingly well compared to my normal reviews (I usually see a lot less views on non-release reviews), I need to do them more.

  • @henri3170
    @henri3170 Місяць тому

    Does this relate at all to the dev's other game, Lucah, or do they merely have a similar art style? Also lotta cool games featuring cults right now, looking at you, Children of the Sun.

    • @Dragnix
      @Dragnix 29 днів тому

      There are definitely connections between the two games even with me not having played the original (just doing research/looking at the content I can see), but in that same breathe I want to not be too specific on the overlap I see. I'll say that if you played the first game, you'll definitely benefit from what I see, but I also don't want to get too specific to maintain some mystery regarding the story. Also I streamed Children of the Sun, and I want to go back and finish it, because it's just a good old time.

    I say go for the change. I do feel that sometimes reviews can feel kinda dry at times Something else that you could try to incorporate into your reviews more to make it less professor-like is to bring some humour into them. Crack some jokes sometimes. Include funny clips of things that happen to you in the review.

  • @DefunctGames
    @DefunctGames 2 місяці тому

    Thanks for the name drop, Dragnix. It would not be an exaggeration for me to say that the game crashed on me well over 30 times. I reviewed it on PlayStation 5, but I've had PlayStation 4 and Xbox Series X owners reach out and tell me that their versions are exactly the same. Sounds like the game is busted across the board on home consoles, but more stable on PC.

    Judge quests seem to be intentionally impossible. 200 coins to complete? No can do, as the max stack size is 30. Summon a bunch of familiars? No can do, as the presence of a Judge prevents familiars from spawning altogether.

    dodge action can also be extend by sigils. When you do those dodge attack ,you can just immune any damage for more than 2 sec. While you still doing whatever attack you want. Dodge is the most important movement in late game bosses. When you dodge you also shoot 5 high damage spear.

    Hey man, nice review. Glad to hear you enjoyed the game, cause I was pretty mixed about it. The puzzle gameplay is pretty good, baring needing some polish here and there. But I really did not care for the story and characters. It starts off fine enough and I was at least curious how the plot would go during the middle, but it dropped the ball hard at the end for me. It wasn't satisfying at all. At least you can skip the cutscenes. (The game doesn't tell you about that feature BTW)

    What makes this the best metroidvania is how smooth the exploration and movement is, backtracking to fully explore a map is a joy not a chore the music in game slaps, the map is huge the sigils that increase your power are not just some basic shit like you do x more dmg or have x more hp there is a ton of them and the effects are really complex allowing for many different playstyles depending on how someone wants to enjoy the game, Tevis design as a character is awsome she looks dope and oh boy the combat its so fluid and the combo potential is really close to stuff like devil may cry 10/10 metroidvania

In my defense, it's on the lower end of what I've mispronounced....so there's that. But duly noted going forward.
