Heroes of Loot PC Game Reviews

Heroes of Loot

Heroes of Loot is a great title for when you need a quick action fix and don’t want to get bogged down with small details like inventory management or stat allocation. You simply race through dungeon floors, killing everything in sight and grabbing whatever loot you can find. It doesn’t have a lot of depth, but since dungeons are randomly generated and increase in difficulty the more you play the replay value is quite high. It is also very reasonably priced, which means there is no excuse for not giving it a shot.

Gameplay: The focus is very much on action and there isn’t much that gets in the way of that.

Graphics: Some lovely pixel art visuals with nice enemy designs.

Sound: Decent, but the sound effects are a little underwhelming

Mystik Belle PC Game Reviews

Mystik Belle

Mystik Belle features an addictive blend of classic platforming Metroidvania-inspired exploration and a healthy dose of point-and-click adventure-style puzzles. The beautiful pixel art visuals are a definite plus, and the charming characters, as well as varied locations, will keep you hooked. The puzzles and limited inventory might not appeal to players looking for a more traditional Metroidvania-style platformer, but Mystik Belle is definitely worth checking out.

Gameplay: Mystik Belle has many areas to explore, many clever puzzles, and some huge bosses to defeat.

Graphics: The game boasts beautiful pixel art visuals with large, detailed sprites and memorable backgrounds.

Sound: The audio is impressive and features a catchy chiptune soundtrack

Regency Solitaire PC Game Reviews

Regency Solitaire

Regency Solitaire builds on the solid foundation of this addictive card game but adds enough extra elements to keep you hooked. The game has a romantic storyline, beautifully drawn visuals, and more than enough levels to keep you busy for ages. The challenges start very simple but quickly ramp up, and you’ll need all the ballroom items you can find or purchase to even the odds. Even if the Regency era and casual games are not your cup of tea, you’ll find that Regency Solitaire is addictive enough to make it worthwhile.

Gameplay: The game is very addictive and features plenty of extra elements to keep things varied.

Graphics: Regency Solitaire features beautiful visuals for a solitaire title.

Sound: The game features a relaxing soundtrack and good effects, but apart from the intro cut-scene, there is no voice acting

Ten Questions With… Martin Greip (Eat Create Sleep) Ten Questions With

Ten Questions With… Martin Greip (Eat Create Sleep)

We recently checked out Crest, a unique strategy title from indie developer Eat Create Sleep, currently available on Steam Greenlight. Crest not only features a distinctive visual style, but also has an interesting take on the god game genre, so we were eager to find out more about it. The developers are currently hard at work completing the game, but were kind enough to answer some of our questions

Rebel Galaxy (Double Damage Games) Previews

Rebel Galaxy (Double Damage Games)

After being given the opportunity to check out a preview build of the upcoming Rebel Galaxy by Double Damage Games I jumped at the chance as I loved the premise of the game. However, even I was surprised by how well the developers pulled off their take on the whole swashbuckling space adventure genre. My love for the genre stretches back to Star Control II, Frontier and Privateer, but after a couple of hours with Rebel Galaxy I have no doubt that it will be joining the ranks of those titles

Toren PC Game Reviews

Toren

Toren is an ambitious and enjoyable debut title from Swordtales that will appeal to fans of the genre. The visuals lack polish in certain areas and the controls can be clunky, but ascending the tower and exploring the surreal dreams of the protagonist is quite a memorable experience. It is also a game that doesn’t hold your hand or spell out everything for you, so be prepared to unravel its mysteries and metaphors on your own.

Gameplay: There is not as much action as we expected, but there are still plenty of unique areas to explore and puzzles to solve.

Graphics: The visuals can be rough around the edges, but they are vibrant, detailed, and often downright beautiful.

Sound: Toren features a great soundtrack as well as good sound effects

Crest (Eat Create Sleep) Early Access Previews

Crest (Eat Create Sleep)

Mention the words “god game” and chances are players will immediately think about either Populous or Black & White. There have been others of course, but these two titles exemplify what people typically expect of the genre. It is also a very niche genre, but now developers, Eat Create Sleep, have stepped up with their take on things. Their credentials include the free ecosystem simulator, Among Ripples, which is also a very unique title, but Crest raises the stakes by putting you in charge of guiding humanity

Aquiris Game Studio announces their homage to the classic racing genre

Remember Top Gear? No, not the television series, but the Super NES racer that was developed by Gremlin Graphics back in the early 90s. Well, Brazilian developer Aquiris Game Studio certainly remembers this classic, as well as Lamborghini, Lotus, Outrun and all the other retro racing titles. It should come as no surprise then that the studio is putting their love for 8 and 16 bit racing games to good use by developing their own title called Horizon Chase

3D Realms Anthology – Steam Edition PC Game Reviews

3D Realms Anthology – Steam Edition

3D Realms created some of the best PC titles in the 90s bar none and the opportunity to add the whole bunch of them to your Steam library shouldn’t be missed. Whether you fondly remember playing these games as a kid or simply want to check out why these games revolutionist the Shareware industry don’t hesitate to splash out on this anthology. Just bear in mind that a lot of the titles included in the anthology can also be picked up for free from the 3D Realms website.

Gameplay: The anthology features 32 classic games spread across a multitude of genres.

Sound: Many of the games feature great audio and the inclusion of the Re-Rockestrated Soundtrack is also a big plus
