And also how you overcome the obstacles you face.

[LEGACY] Berserker's Descent

#DoubtfulPlayer #Sunday legacy upload. Today's #GameReview is #BerserkersDescent by @RendahGames. A #PixelGraphics #Roguelike #Arcade #game, released on #Steam, and given to me by #keymailer. The #repost of this #review is available now on our website.

Keymailer strikes once again with a lovely looking indie game for me to have a look at, and this time, when a game says it’s “hand-drawn” you can just about smell it through the screen. Berserker’s Descent is a 2D sidescrolling, zone arena-type game. In each instance of the game the map and what you face will be randomly generated as you make your way through, the amount of enemies and the…

Splatoon 3: Side Order is good, but not great. I still highly recommend it, but if you care about the story, you're going to be disappointed. Quick review: spoilers ahead.

Side Order was the devs experimenting with Splatoon's gameplay loop. The campaign is a rogue-like, and it works amazingly well. Super fun, super challenging, building my deck and fighting through challenges with the stakes of resetting really scratched an itch in my brain. They did a great job with it.

Unfortunately, I feel like priority went to game design rather than story. Much of the mysterious artwork we saw in the first teaser trailer was completely unused; turns out, all of that was just concept art that never made it into the final product. Side Order failed to make me care about what was happening. I don't know why the protagonist had to be Agent 8; it could've been anyone else and the story would've worked the same.

Octo Expansion was the absolute peak of meshing story and gameplay. The campaign's hook is insanely strong; we immediately empathize with Agent 8 because we know from previous lore that octolings like her have been trapped underground for all their lives. We care about her fight to the surface because it's a fundamentally ideological fight for freedom. The plot stuff about Tartar and the Thangs is just nice set dressing; 8's fight for freedom is the real story.

There's none of that in Side Order. I don't particularly care about Marina's metaverse, even if it's tied to Octo Expansion's story. I don't know why Acht is there other than backstory stuff. It really feels like 8 is just told to do something and she does it because she's the protagonist; she has zero personal stakes or motivations in the conflict. This is a story blunder the devs did in Splatoon 3's default campaign––forgetting to give the protagonist a personal reason to fight––that I hoped would be fixed here, but alas.

What makes it worse is that the gameplay and story progression are completely out of sync. I beat the entire game on my third run in 4 hours. With each run, you get up to two keys to potentially unlock bits of story. That means you'll get about one piece of the story every two runs. There are twelve pieces of the story; I got the first and then beat the whole damn game. Now I have to go back and grind to see the remaining story when I've already beaten the final boss and resolved the conflict. I missed the entire story because I never had to reset because I blazed through the gameplay! It's just a real shame that I experienced everything without knowing... why it's happening. The final boss had me asking myself what the hell is going on because I don't know the backstory at all.

Again, I still really recommend. The devs did a great job, but Side Order remains in the shadow of Octo Expansion's incredible success. Like the default singleplayer campaign, there's just a lot of lost story potential here that, while not necessary, would have really elevated this DLC into something amazing.

It's now out in full on Linux, Mac, and Windows PC. This game is all about speed and strategy, where you lead a team of four heroes against twelve tough bosses known as the Zodiacs. It also takes place in a world that looks like it's been lifted from a modern fantasy comic book. These are the type of visuals you get here. Since its early access launch in April 2022, it has become a hot favourite, with loads of players giving it a thumbs up. And with the latest 1.0 update, there are three new Zodiac bosses to take on in Astral Ascent. Also including a final boss that's doubly hard to beat. But it's not just about fighting. Of course in 1.0 still get to shape how you play Astral Ascent, by choosing from hundreds of spells. You can tweak these spells to suit your style and use them to outsmart tough enemies in a world that has its own careful design. What's really unique is that every time your character dies, you get to tweak your abilities and strategies. Since this keeps things fresh and exciting. And if you want to team up with a friend, you can! The action roguelike title offers both solo and multiplayer options, using Steam Remote Play Together.

Astral Ascent 1.0 - Launch Trailer

The Zodiac bosses are spread across four stunning worlds, each with its own unique attacks and backstory. They're not just there for a showdown; they've got their own stories and reasons for battling you. Let's talk about the Astral Ascent 1.0 heroes you can play:

Ayla: She's the last one left from her assassin guild. Fast and deadly with her twin daggers.

Kiran: A tough guy who learned life the hard way. He's all about strength and can cause shockwaves with his hits.

Calie: A skilled sculptor seeking freedom. She uses magical gemstones to break through enemy defenses.

Octave: A young fighter trained by a powerful witch, wielding ethereal guns and summoning massive weapons when needed.

Also, get ready for the ultimate showdown with The Master, the key to your escape from the astral prison. Without give away any spoilers, know that 1.0 has a final boss that is a big deal in Astral Ascent. Hibernian Workshop spent as much time creating it as we did on the three other Zodiacs combined. Each of these characters offers a unique way to play, which keeps things interesting. And there's more: there are 17 different endings in 1.0. They are all animated and narrated, and there's even a new character coming in 2024. So, if you're up for a challenge and want to dive into a world of magic, strategy, and great heroes, Astral Ascent 1.0 is waiting for you on Steam. The action roguelike game is available for Linux, Steam Deck (verified), Mac, and Windows PC. Priced at $24.99 USD / £20.99 / 24,50€.

So that funky town/demon lord names video tagged as Disco Elysium is two of the skills in the video! They're Electrochemistry and Shivers. All the skills in the game are like another character that talks to you from your psyche, it's very neat and I think you might like the concept tbh (tho I wouldn't expect you to play the game itself, it's a lot and ik you're a busy person)

I'm a bit confused by DE and this ask doesn't fully clear up to me this... demon/skill correlation. I HAVE played DE before but only very briefly- as much as I love gamin' I usually play games I can multitask on, so something very story and reading heavy like DE just requires a bit more focus than I usually put in.

But it's on my list to seriously sit down and play.... at some point. I've heard so many good things!

Treasures of the Aegean

Video games come in many genres, with their own established rules. We know what a puzzle platformer is, what a rougelike is, what an open world game is, and so on. But increasingly, genres are being combined together. An open world game is likely to also be an action-RPG, for instance. But occasionally we get that rare game that combines elements from a whole bunch of genres together into one, to create something that’s both familiar and yet unique. Enter Treasures of the Aegean, an indie game from Spain. A 2D combination of parkour platformer, open world exploration game, cinematic platformer, and puzzle platformer, with slight roguelite elements, and simple controls.
