King Arthur's Gold - Where a shark fights a bull on the surface

Sometimes you see a game, and you know at once you want that.

Well, in this case I fell into the "That looks like Terraria, but cooler." trap.

I bought "King Arthur's Gold" from Transhuman Design on Steam and well, it is kinda cool !

You play as either a Knight (fighter), Archer or Builder, but you can switch the roles very often in a map.


[ AFTER SEVERAL HOURS OF MULTIPLAYER ]

Yes. This game is funny. If you play 5 vs 5 or more it is really good. The concept of the three classes works well, the dynamics in a good team are amazing to watch and be part of.

If you like Terraria but always wanted to do fights, this is the game.

Sometimes it is a bit hard to aim when there are 3 or more ppl at one place, but that is training.
But the building under pressure, the ideas of the people, the transmitted feelings, it is really worth it's price !

Quick Click - Mechanic Escape

A well done, but totally boring Jump'n'Run I may present to you : "Mechanic Escape" from Slak Games.

Why boring ? You play a computer, and you run around in a 2D Jump'n'Run with the classical elements. Why don't they learn : BRING ONE ELEMENT THAT SURPRISES PEOPLE at the beginning.

It is VERY good designed. Really. But I played the first 8 levels, and I wasn't thrilled at any time.

But very good graphics. The music is like a sleeping pill, though. And the face of the protagonist is like a panicking fast food salesman. I don't know.

Since the design is really good, I will keep an eye on the Slakers, but everyone who isn't a big Jump'n'Run addict isn't going to get an erection from this game.

Uhhhh Uhhhhhhh UHHHHH UHHHH -A Reckless Disregard for Game Names

I am afraid the pool of good names for computer games is getting smaller every time an indie company opens up, so yeah, mostly every ten seconds.

But what you know, theres always someone who is using this to his advantage : "AaAaAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity" from Dejobaan Games, LLC.

I stumpled on it cause it is one of the first games I know of made with the new not yet available to the public Unity3D Version 5 !

The welcome screen and the music and the slogan "We make computer games since several hundred years" is promising, so let me have a look.

[ AFTER FIRST RUN ]

I like the design. The game itself. Well it has more the appeal of a graphic demo form a programmer student in 2005 to me.

You fall down somewhere and have to keep close to objects. I didnt play much longer because hmm I dont know it is kinda...stupid ? Like really stupid ?

What I am trying to say is, I like stupid, but I need something to justify the stupidiy. A story. One NEW idea. One thing that keeps me going. Just to fall down and hug and kiss some meshes, I do not know dear Dejobaan Games.

The design is well done, some good ideas, awesome music.

But thats about it. NEEEEXT !

Yeah, backbite time ! Humble Indie 13 ! First in Line : Tower of Guns !

One of many
First I installed Tower of Guns from Terrible Posture Games. I choosed a directory on a non system partion, but yes, how could it be different, the incredible unstylish dialog from the Unreal Development Kit installed a ton load of crap into my system partion. I do not like that.

Well, why didnt you used Steam to install it ? Good question, stfu. I am always choosing a DRM free version of a game over Steam, ALWAYS, freaking steam slave sh*t.

But seriously dear Terrible Gesture Games, I do not want a UDK screen war when I install your game, thats just TMI !!!

Ok. To the game.

I make it quick. It is a hand-drawn 3D Shooter. But to my taste, it is not working. It looks unclean, unfinished and the enemies are boring. There is no spark for me, for other maybe !  I loved the cute robots at the start, but it took a while until I noticed they were friendly, I allready killed all but one.

Btw: I like the music of the game !

Incredible Popart Machine Reloaded - Contraption Maker

Stupid name. But worthy to be called a game in the line of "The Incredible Machine". State-of-the-Art art, colorful interface up-to-date. Nice Music. And of course - the classical riddles reloaded.

It still has some bugs and not so well designed things, like the freaking rotate icon outside the screen or the scissor snapping when nearby a not light candle that's three pixel above ground when activating the level. Things like that.

The multiplayer seems not to work at all OR there is just no one online, but I have not the slightest idea what this game could offer in a multiplayer setting. That's why I'd like to try it.

Far Cry 3 - His NAME is Buck and he likes to

Yeah I know this is very old stuff, but it is the funniest glich of bored game devs in a AAA title I saw since a long time.

Damn, these guys were BORED. 





Besides this is my first youtube video recorded with ShadowPlay. XD

Warlock - Masters of the Arcane

First of all, shame on you Paradox Interactive, this game is a 100% Civilization V clone. Hehe. Just with a phantasy setting.

The design, the menus, the landscape, THE SAME. I just started to play it, and it looks very nice, plus it was free in the Humble Store Summer Sale.


I like Paradox Interactive, not only cause the kewl name, but they mostly did quality stuff. So let me test this a bit and come back to you.
