Gah! - Casual Gaming Review

Gah!

This dungeon crawler roguelite game is a game you will want to keep playing out of achievement or out of spite. Gah! was developed and published by Jasio Games and is set to release in September 2024. 

Gameplay

There are 6 playable characters three of which you will have to unlock. So you'll start with the choice of Sorcerer, King, or Rouge. The sorcerer can only use light armor and staves, the king can use anything, and the rouge can use light armor and bows. 

You start with a basic weapon, it's by chance or by buying in town you'll get new armor or weapons. As you level up you'll get the choice between 3 stats and two skills. The skills are random so sometimes you might get the things you want while sometimes you might not get anything you would use. You can also pick something that you already used to level it up further. If of course, it's one of the choices. The stats are intelligence, endurance, and strength. 

You have 4 skill buttons Q,W,E, and R. The right button is your attack while the left button is your movement. Yup, you move by mouse. Space is your health potion and T is your mana potion. You can check your inventory with I and change any equipment you may have picked up. With C you are able to check your character's information, and with S you will get to apply orbs to passives. 

You get a random assortment of orbs for beating creatures. You use those orbs to give passives. This is a roguelike so if you die of course you have to start over. There are orbs for each stat. There are also gold orbs that are even better as those at any town can be applied to permanent passives. The game will give you some golden orbs for dying the first few times. I guess it feels bad for us. 

I ended up picking auto levels when each of the levels started more potions and even a random item. There are also passives that have to do with each stat too. You can also reset your passive at any time, which is awesome in case you want to run a different type of character. 

There are a few different types of creatures I have run into so far. Melee ones that just run and jump at you, bow users, magic users, and big guys that buff everyone around them and have a lot more health. The magic users also have a variety to them between, ice, fire, and poison. The first levels have goblins, and the next adventure has skeletons. 

To finish the level you have to find the stairs. When the levels start or you move onto the next level you get to choose where you go. To town or between two different places. Each has a task for you to perform for more rewards but also could have different difficulties. Like faster enemies or could just have more loot. 

Thoughts

I loved this game. I have played it over and over trying to see how far I can get. The developer is also super involved in Discord so that's also nice to see. I didn't like the mouse movement in the beginning but have grown to like it more. While I also don't know if I can change the camera angle or not? I'm a button masher so all the buttons I tried didn't do it was too lazy to check the keys. 

It is really up to chance and skill if you can go further in the game than before. Like I mentioned before sometimes you get the choice of two skills you might not really like while the ones you like never seem to pop up. While good loot might drop sometimes and sometimes not. 

There are also secret chests, I'm not going to tell you how to unlock those XD Just know they are a thing. I did find one on stream so you'll have to go watch that to find out. 

When I finished my first adventure I got a pet piggy that picks up all the gold, so I assume that also might be how you unlock the other characters by finishing an adventure.

Taora: Beginning Taora was developed by Tulpar Games and was published by Tulpar Games and TheGamesFortress. It's an open-world survival community builder. The key was given to me through a program called Keymailer so thank you devs for the key! This version of the game is a demo of the game Taora: Survival. Get it it's the beginning of the game? The Start You start out at a base where the game tells you to grab some tools from storage, right now the only things that are in your base are a storage area, some toilets, and a command center. The storage center is well a small storage area, you later will also be able to make a chest for more organization. The command center is where you can switch between community members and build other stations in the base.  In the storage, you can get a pick axe and an axe. The first task would be to go chop some wood. In the process of that, you'll eventually have to start building the various stations.  Workshop: The

Evie - Cosplay

Evie Evie is a playable character in the game Paladins: Champions of the Realm. It's a free-to-play game that you can play on well pretty much anything, Steam, PlayStation, Switch, and Xbox. Developed by Hi-Rez Studios, and Evil Mojo Games this was mainly squad-based FPS.  There are a few modes but the one I played the most was team vs team where me and a few buddies would team up and have to defend a cart that would slowly move through the level. Or if you were on the other team destroy the cart. The goal is to either prevent the cart from getting into the goal area or to stop it.  Cosplay Background Evie was one of the characters I enjoyed not only looks but also the dialogue. Of of my favorites is "I just want to live a normal life, without having to blow everybody up... Oh well!" The abilities she has were fun to play with but I always screwed it up. She had a basic attack from her ice staff. She could turn into an ice block to become immune to dam

Enshrouded - Casual Gaming Review

Enshrouded This is an action-adventure survival base-building game. It was developed and published by Keen Games GmbH. This demo key was given to me by the developers of a program called Keymailer. The demo was out for Next Fest. So, thank you for the key! Gameplay You wake up in a capsule inside a temple. You've been asleep for a long time. As you run out you pretty much have nothing, your first task being to make a base.  As you make your way to the waypoint on the map the game goes through basic concepts. Throwables can blow up and change the terrain as well as the other items. I dug myself in a hole at one point.  A lot of things are breakable so once I got something I could swing (a sword) I started to hit everything I could. Which was good because I was getting all sorts of materials.  There is something called well enshrouded, it's an area that is tainted. Having a light with you decreases the rate at which it affects you. But it's pretty much if
