Hitmen Havoc - Casual Game Review

Image
Hitmen Havoc This is a party shooter with up to 8 players. It was developed by, Andreas O., Marvin Pogoda, Maksim Rotmann, and Richy D. and then published by TangleTech. Right now it's just in its pre-release mode but others can join you if they have the demo. But the lovely devs sent me a key to play with friends. They even have a lovely road map letting you know what's coming up.  Gameplay This game was incredibly fun, we had a total of 6 people playing and for the spaces you do not fill you can also choose to fill with bots.  There are fun hats you can equip but in this pre-release version, you can't unlock the achievements to get more hats.  Each character has different stats to it between their speed and health. So picking the right character for you can't just be done based on looks.  There is a locked skills tab, so I'm wondering if we're going to get fireballs, or passives as well.  Maps There are a lot of various maps with different

Robin Hood - Sherwood Builders - Casual Game Review

Robin Hood - Sherwood Builders Sherwood Builders is an action-adventure community builder, survival all rolled into one.  It was developed by MeanAstronauts and published by PlayWay S.A.  Background You are in the classic story of Robin Hood, while of course, you are Robin Hood. It's your job to liberate the people. You can do this by increasing your repetition in each area of the map. There are 4 different areas you need to turn over to your favor. You can do this by raiding caravans, attacking camps, and doing quests.  Venturing out you have to collect resources for your main town. Wood, stone, hide, and other items. Building up new buildings and houses. Each building gives you a station to craft new things as well as other things. So it's something to focus on. Being able to craft new armor, medicines, and weapons will be helpful in your adventures.  There are a lot of puzzle-type areas on the map. I had to direct lights to open a gate and mess with symbo

Chaos Magic - Casual gaming review

Chaos Magic What is chaos magic? Well, I have played Magic the Gathering for years, and have enjoyed all kinds of side quests provided by the game like Arch Enemy, the board games with the tiles, and the many formats there are. We mainly play EDH anymore (Commander) So I decided to do a new spin on playing it.  Basic You have your normal pod of players and play the game almost normally. The first round is normal but at the start of the second round things are a little different.  Before you start your turn so before upkeep. You roll a 20-sided die.  Evens, you get the positive bowl. Odds, you get the negative bowl.  With the exception of 5, 10, 15, 20. If any of those are rolled, you don't draw a slip, instead, you put the used slips back into the bowls they came from.  Now to the bowls, what's with bowls and slips? Well, each bowl has a range of good things in the positive bowl, or bad things if it's the negative bowl. There is an exception for neutral

Planet Crafter - Casual Gaming Review

Planet Crafters This game I had put off from doing a review until I beat it.  Planet Crafters was developed and published by Miju Games. Planet Crafters is a survival world-building game.  The game has recently been updated to add a new biome, crash sites, and more! Basics You basically start on a desert planet that multiple people were sent to cultivate. It seems like you did some kind of crime and your sentence was to make this planet habitable to where they can steal the resources and use it kind of thing. You in the hopes to seeing your family again have to persevere through the trials of building a whole new world. (I think my dumb self was too busy during stream talking to pay attention in the beginning. I got distracted) You start off in your pod, where it's the only place to be able to refill your oxygen meter. You do have a few capsules with you to use, but have limited bag space. There is a crafter in the drop pod, and there is also a storage box with
