Valheim. Explore and survive

Posted on March 6, 2023 by X35 Earthwalker

Valheim is a survival adventure game developed by ‘Iron Gate‘ and published by ‘Coffee Stain studios‘. Valheim is said to be coming out the 14th of March 2023 on the Xbox Series X and Xbox One. It’s already out on pc and when it was we never heard of this game. Valheim is making its way to Xbox. This game has finally caught the attention of X35 Earthwalker. Let’s take a look.

Valheim is set in a sort of purgatory but viking style. Basically you died in battle because you suck. You got carried to the ‘tenth world’. Now you have show that you’re the boss here. So face the monsters that odin dropped here a long time ago. Hopefully you can earn odin’s favour and get out of here… maybe to valhalla.

X35 Earthwalker Valheim

Valheim large world and there’s lots to see here. So get to it. Exploration is a big part of this game. Check out the locations when you have the time. There’s forests and we mean big forests. There’s mountains and rumour has it they are quite cold. Valleys that look a little too friendly and off course the sea. Get a ship and start sailing. Maybe build a little place for yourself.

That’s right… build. You can build in Valheim. Construct bases, fancy buildings, viking longhouses and maybe more. There is customisation for your buildings both the inside and outside. There’s a building tier system as well. The higher the tier the more you can upgrade, expand and have the means to defend your base. Hopefully there’s a base defence system and actual events.

X35 Earthwalker Valheim

Not just building in Valheim but also crafting off course. Make sure to gather materials to craft your weapons, armour, tools and ships. You can even grow fruits and vegetables. You got to eat off course. Survival is at the core of Valheim. So there’s progression for sure. You will do the traditional start of trash and make your way up to the top.

X35 Earthwalker Valheim

Now off course is the bosses. More like monsters who are a menace. Apparently odin dropped these guys here, so beating them should prove your worth and allow for progression in this world of Valheim. We currently don’t have any faith in these monsters being impressive, scary or even intimidating. Hopefully they are something to talk about.

We checked out some Valheim gameplay and it’s sort of what we expected. It’s got something going on, that’s for sure. The world is the strongest point about Valheim. Nothing else is truly standing out but we are interested in the level of depth to the crafting, building and customisation. The caves be looking kind of clean though.

Overall Valheim is looks like a good game so far. We aren’t impressed with it though but these kind of games is what some gamers truly dive into. The graphics are good for the graphic style. The world is excellent. Some factors aren’t clear but oh well. The developers ‘Iron Gate’ have done an alright job. X35 Earthwalker know exactly what survival games need to be top tier. Now Valheim may have a large purgatory like world but it would have been conquered instantly by… the ‘Earth Walk!’

LEAP. Big Multiplayer shooter

Posted on February 20, 2023February 20, 2023 by X35 Earthwalker

LEAP is a fast-paced multiplayer first person shooter game developed and published by ‘Blue Isle studios‘. LEAP is said to be coming out the 1st of March 2023 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PS5, PS4 and pc. An early access came out in 2022 though. LEAP looking like it can be the game. X35 Earthwalker knows what games need to be successful in each genre. Let’s take a look.

LEAP ain’t hiding what it’s trying to accomplish. The initial description tells a lot. Read it: “fast-paced multiplayer first person shooter game”. So we know that mobility and speed is a big factor here and we hope LEAP gets it right. After all “It’s not what you, it’s how fast you do it.” To take the words of a certain someone. It’s simple, as an elite LEAP mercenary you either fight for the United Earth Defense Coalition or side with the rebel Exo-Terrans. It seems more like who pays you the most attitude.

X35 Earthwalker LEAP

Next they state that there will be “epic battles with up to 60 players”. This means big multiplayer matches. So there has to be big maps with hopefully quite a bit going soon within them. Now at this point, especially if you have at least average intelligence, LEAP would have reminded you of Titanfall by now. That game was fast paced multiplayer shooting. LEAP is first person though.

Leap is also gong for the more modern approach with flare and style. Players will enter the battle or lead the charge, as they say, with mounts or equipment otherwise called PV, Personal Vehicle. For example players can ride in on a rubber dingy, mechanical moose, hoverboard and even a rocket. Use your personal vehicle for traversal purposes.

X35 Earthwalker LEAP

We checked out some LEAP gameplay and it’s what we expected. LEAP really is fast paced. There’s thrusters, boosts, grapple hooks, launching pads and more. There’s loads of action going on as well. Shoot outs, explosions, beams, what looks like an orbital beam, artillery strike, blasts and of the sort. Due to there being up to 60 players there’s battles and interactions happening in various parts of the battlefield. We of course would like to know more about the game modes and the respawn times. The weapons have alright designs and the movement animations is looking quite basic.

Overall LEAP does look it’s going to be a good game. There are some concerns off course. Players are described as “armed to the teeth” but we do not see that. The LEAP mercenaries don’t seem so dangerous or that armed. We are liking the immense amounts of mobility though. The graphics look very good and we expect them to be better by now. The sounds are excellent, definitely liking what we are hearing. The developers ‘Blue Isle studios’ have done an excellent job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to keep an ear open concerning this game. Now LEAP may have loads of mobility but it’s nothing compared to the mobility of… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Blood Bowl 3. More dangerous

Posted on February 10, 2023 by X35 Earthwalker

Blood Bowl 3 is a turn based sport fantasy game developed by ‘Cyanide Studio‘ and published by ‘Nacon‘. Blood Bowl 3 is said to be coming out the 23rd of February 2023 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4 and pc. Blood Bowl is one of those games that X35 Earthwalker has never played. We hope they got that heat. Let’s take a look.

Blood Bowl 3. What’s the story? Well a bunch of different races have come together (if you can call it that) to play some American football. These include: Humans, dwarfs, shaven, orcs, beastmen and elves. It’s all about the touchdowns ladies and gentlemen. So yeah these guys are going to have a civilised time… surely and play some honest games.

X35 Earthwalker. Blood Bowl 3

Don’t be fooled. Blood Bowl 3 is a tactical turn-based game. The most important things to remember are: Getting the ball to then scoring the touch down and smashing your opponents. Defeating the enemy players is essential. You take them out and they won’t be a problem. So yeah, throw the ball or throw some punches to even cripple enemies too. Try running with a damaged leg.

We checked out some Blood Bowl 3 gameplay. It’s very comical as well. There are coaches and even cheerleaders who are doing their best to motivate the team and get a game plan going. We like the comical approach as after all this is a silly game. It should be light and have some laughs. How you move, position yourself makes a difference. Pass the ball and get your people in position to deal with an annoying player. How deep the strategy is in Blood Bowl 3 has yet to be shown.

Overall Blood Bowl 3 looks like a good game. Does look fun too. The fans of these games should be happy. The graphics are looking good for the style of the game. We do like the levels of details on the units. Especially when you look into customisations. Hopefully there are a lot of customisations and skins/armour for the units. It’s still not our type of game but we are up for being persuaded. The developers ‘Cyanide Studio’ have done a very good job so far. X35 Earthwalker respects hard work and he sees it here. Blood Bowl 3 may have some wild matches but they are too tamed for… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Wild Hearts. New hunt begins

Posted on January 11, 2023 by X35 Earthwalker

Wild Hearts is an action adventure game developed by ‘Koei Tecmo Games‘ and published by ‘electronic Arts‘. Wild Hearts is said to be coming out the 16th of February 2023 on Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and pc. A gaming concept like this is easy to get right. So much potential. X35 Earthwalker will see if it is being done right. Let’s take a look.

The story of Wild Hearts is like legend story. There’s these massive animals or beasts, whatever you want to call them, and they are called Kemono. Kemono, not kimono. Get it right. The kemono got angry or something. They went on a rampage such a long time ago that no one remembers why. We already know the twist for this game. You made it too obvious developers. Back to the story. The Kemono rampaged through Azuma, which we hear was doing really well before the rampage. That’s it.

X35 Earthwalker Wild Hearts

Well that isn’t exactly it. The kemono are unstoppable. No one could beat them. Then one day a hunter showed up. This hunter was clearly a whole cut above everyone else. This hunter had effective weapons and ancient technology. This technology is called Karakuri… not to be mistaken with the Yu-Gi-Oh! monster arch type called Karakuri. So we can see all the references here. This one hunter “could turn the tide of battle.” So yeah, here’s where the player comes into play. You will also use ancient tech to hunt and take down the kemono.

X35 Earthwalker Wild Hearts

Now off course if you are developing a monster hunting game then the only real competitor is Monster under. So how is this different? Well Wild Hearts is more focused on the technology. We don’t see this was a huge difference yet but hopefully it will be more clear when we see more of Wild Hearts. In terms of the technology being a big deal, it has to be clear in the gameplay and mechanics. We like the vehicle method of transportation. That circular vehicle reminds us of Jack Atlas’ duel runner in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds. We hope to see more big things and signs of technology being the dominant factor and in the hunting and fights against the kemono. They got to get this right.

We checked out some Wild Hearts gameplay and it’s mostly what we expected. The karakuri can take on multiple forms or should we say be shaped into those forms. Karakuri can be used to set traps. The karakuri is also for building, resource gathering and off course training. So yeah, use both the karakuri and your weapons (don’t forget about those) to face the kemono. Now we hope they do the battles with these creatures right. They can’t be a here’s their level, go in, beat them and cross it off your list. These beasts need to live up to their fame. Be powerful, massive and an actual challenge.

Overall Wild Hearts seems like a good game but we want it to be much better. The potential is there. The graphics are looking good and the locations are looking nice with variety. The locations and environments matters in a hunt. We do hope to see improvements to the game as a whole. The kemono need to have variety and more kemono need to show up and bring variety instead of the predictable lot. The developers ‘Koei Tecmo Games’ have done an alright job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will hope the potential of Wild Hearts is maximised. Now Wild Hearts may be the next big monster hunting game but it’s scale is far too small for… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Monster Hunter Rise. More Hunting

Posted on January 4, 2023 by X35 Earthwalker

Monster Hunter Rise is an action role playing game developed and published by ‘Capcom’. Monster Hunter Rise is said to be coming out the 20th of January 2023 on the Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS5 and PS4. It’s already out on the Nintendo Switch and pc. Monster Hunter Rise is coming to the others consoles. Big monsters, big hunting. X35 Earthwalker knows what real hunting is. Let’s take a look.

Monster Hunter Rise is the latest main Monster Hunter game. Fans of the Monster Hunter games should know what to expect here. Simply put, players are hunters and you go out to get those monsters. big monsters which sometimes include dragons. You have massive and powerful weapons and ideally work in a team to take them down. X35 has checked out previous Monster Hunter games before and liked the variety that’s available. From desert based enemies to ones chilling in a forest. We expect similar and more.

X35 Earthwalker Monster Hunter Rise

Monster Hunter Rise coming to Xbox and PlayStation means that new players are on the way. So hopefully all the Nintendo Switch and pc players will be advisers, show some support and gaming-ship. Makes you wonder how the new players will change the balance going around. After all the new players will be lower level and less experienced. So will there be functions and mechanics to help out the new players or is it, you are on your own and will always be behind everyone, which isn’t fun. Let’s see.

X35 Earthwalker Monster Hunter Rise

Monster Hunter Rise isn’t exactly the same thing in everyday. The Monster Hunting action takes place in Kamura village. If you like mountains then… be happy… or whatever. Hunts can even take place at the Ancient Shrine ruins. Now off course when you go to hunt a powerful and dangerous monster, the wise thing to do is get some help. So either go at it solo, something X35 Earthwalker can do with the greatest of ease, or be like a regular mortal and play co-op with up to three other players… both local and online. Wish more games had local co-op. It’s needed and makes a big difference.

Overall Monster Hunter Rise seems like a alright game so far. Monster Hunter still hasn’t made us want to try it yet. Monster still has a ways to go. The fans of course should be happy. It’s time to see what’s up. The developers ‘Capcom’ have done an alright job soo far. We expected the graphics to be better though. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to hear about the impact. Now Monster Hunter Rise may be available on more platforms but it’s still to little for… the ‘Earth Walk!’

River City Girls 2. It continues

Posted on December 19, 2022 by X35 Earthwalker

River City Girls 2 is a beat em up action game developed by ‘WayForward‘ and published by ‘Arc System Works‘. River City Girls 2 came out the 15th of December 2022 on the Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4 and PC. X35 Earthwalker wrote about the first game. The second is here.These girls aren’t alone. Let’s take a look.

River City Girls 2 is here and off course being a sequel, it has to be bigger, more loaded and better. The story in River City Girls 2 takes place shortly after the first game. That old foe, who badly wants revenge, is back. This means the girls: Kyoko and Misako are back and kicking butt. So yeah, that’s the story. Fight!

X35 Earthwalker River Girls 2

River City Girls 2 is a sequel after all so that means there needs to be more. So Kyoko and Misako aren’t alone this time. They got some friends: Provie and Marian. These two ladies are bringing real firepower. Provie is literally bringing the groove with her dancing and heavy combo moves. Marian has transformed herself and is now all power with heavy moves. These two ladies make a difference. But wait!.. There’s more! Kunio and Riki is here to fight as well. We got some manpower on the team and we know that always comes in handy. So yeah, 6 fighters. Pick one.

X35 Earthwalker River Girls 2

We checked out some River City Girls 2 gameplay and it’s what we expected. It is bigger and more loaded. More locations and more abilities. “Lift-off combos”, elemental status effects and even guard-crush attacks, so deeper combat mechanics. There’s over 40 shops for players to buy accessories and items. Don’t forget to hire what’s called ‘heavies’ to support you. You can also recruit fallen foes. Best of all, River City Girls 2 is co-op both online and local. Games like this need co-op. Imagine Scott Pilgrim vs the world but no co-op. That would be terrible.

Overall River City Girls 2 looks like a good game. Definitely better than the last one. The big boss looks far more intimidating and powerful. Ken is an interesting character but we feel like he will made a complete joke in this game. There’s more options, more combat, more mechanics, more characters, more everything and it’s done in mostly the correct way. Animations are better too, especially the defeated ones. The developers ‘Wayforward’ have done a very good job. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to hear what this game accomplishes. Now River City Girls 2 may have reinforcements but it work work against… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Stranger of Paradise. Intense Combat

Posted on November 11, 2022November 11, 2022 by X35 Earthwalker

X35 Earthwalker Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin

Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin is a good game. It has its problems and they are very clear but we are focusing on the combat. Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin has fantastic combat gameplay and mechanics. X35 Earthwalker has gone crazy in the combat and off course mastered it. So we can take his word for it. We will keep this G-blog quite short. Let’s take a look.

Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin has fast paced combat. If you aren’t trash and actually play on high difficulty then this game will be difficult. Some enemies will trash you and even making one mistake can lead to death at times. Players will need to have good reflexes and a decent level tactical mind. There’s multiple styles, mechanics and abilities. If we dived in ands broke things down then this would be large G-bog for sure.

The main thing is that there’s multiple classes which can have different weapons from maces, swords, dual blades and even your fists. Each class you can enter the battle settings which determines your weapon (if your class can handle multiple weapons), combo abilities, equipment and command abilities like Light bringer. This is where all the customisation and style design takes place. Equipment level determines your character level. Combo abilities can be done in specific sequences of attacks and can truly lower enemies break meter. command abilities allow for powerful effect that can change the course of the battle. Command and combo abilities both require MP.

Now if you are a lower level than what the level recommends, then you will actually suffer in Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin. The enemies will do much bigger damage but even worse is they drain your break gauge extremely fast. Once the break gauge is drained you are temporarily just sitting there. Meaning you get punished heavily. This is another reason why combat is intense. On high difficulties and being a bit under levelled or facing a really strong enemy, the battles become very intense. You have to focus, time your attacks and dodge/block everything. Getting hit once really costs you. Also the enemies break gauge is harder to reduce as well. Sometimes those fights are the better ones.

Players must be careful of their health and, manage their MP wisely as both can go down really fast. Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin has multiple options for multiple things. You can straight up block or use the soul shield. Soul Shield lets you block an attack and restore MP while also increasing your max MP. You can also quickly follow up a successful soul shield with an attack. So why use regular block like ever? Well that’s because unlike soul shield, blocking can block against multiple attacks in rapid succession. Soul shield blocks that one attack. So any attack like a volley of projectiles counters soul shield as you block the first projectile but all the others will strike you. Soul shield also drains your break gauge making stunning you all the more easier if used wrongly. So pick which defensive option based on the enemy and situation.

X35 Earthwalker Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin

There’s a few classes that truly dabble in magic. The mages are powerful and can bring out some serious effects and attacks. The sage is better as it can use both attack types of the mages. elemental attacks and powerful buffs for yourself and the team. There’s even an Ultima attack which completely destroys all things… most of the time. Strongest attack in the game and is a boss slayer. Then there’s the Ninja class which has resources exclusive to the class which can be used to activate a few powerful abilities and even perform elemental attacks or throw shurikens (regular and big). Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin, smartly, allows you to switch between your two selected classes. So switching up the abilities and getting optimal is an option here.

Overall the combat in Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin is excellent. The combat is the best thing about the game. When you master it, memorise enemy attacks and upgrade your classes, the combat rises to a different level. You end up really enjoying it. Soul shield, combo abilities and then finishing them off. By the way, the executions for these enemies are very good for the most part. Skeletons get stepped on, head ripped off and then used to destroy them. Flying bird hybrids get swung and smashed into the floor… hulk and Loki style. An aquatic enemy gets its back broken. Final Fantasy Origin: Stranger of Paradise do need to add more flavours to the combat and give players more free control when it comes to elemental attacks. X35 Earthwalker sees all the changes the need to make but this ain’t the G-blog for that. Now Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin may have excellent, fun combat but it’s still not up the level of… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Skyforge. Needs to change

Posted on November 4, 2022 by X35 Earthwalker

Sktyforge is a massive multiplayer online role playing game (mmorpg) developed by ‘Allods Team’. Skyforge is a big game and has a massive universe. X35 Earthwalker has played this game for a very long time and did multiple grinds too. So veterans we are when it comes to Skyforge. There’s good things about Skyforge but we wanted to do a quick G-blog abut a few negatives. Let’s take a look.

X35 Earthwalker has made many Skyforge videos, written about it multiple times and even did multiple livestreams. We know and can see all the good and cool stuff about Skyforge. It’s problem is that in the year 2022 with all the other mmorpgs, Skyforge look weak. Skyforge is like 90% grind and it does get boring real quick. This is such a waste as loads of potential is here.

X35 Earthwalker Skyforge

Skyforge has some of, it not the most impressive and coolest areas. Just check out the world in Skyforge and you will be amazed. When you enter the ‘divine observatory’ and then go to the park, you will be like wow. The lights, the city, the buildings and it’s so large… the view and what you can see. When you go to the port and see the sea and the massive ring like structure in the air, you have to wonder what is it. these areas and many many more make you wish you could explore these areas.

So players need more areas and more freedom. The exploring actually has to matter. Skyforge just has levels with an A to B while Tera and Black Desert have full areas that can be basically fully explored. The classes are not balanced and some need to be reworked or much stronger. The necromancer class is trash. Hate it. Not enough damage and easy to be killed. Gunner does too little damage for what it is. It’s suppose to be a powerful big gun heavy firepower but it’s weaker than a tank class. The paladin class is so strong even though it’s suppose to be a tank, not damage. Fix the classes.

X35 Earthwalker Skyforge

The power levels need to not only be more obvious in combat but better explained. Skyforge is also known for being cryptic. Many players had to go online to learn crucial and some basic stuff about the game. Like how to get stronger. X35 Earthwalker made his return to Skyforge and aimed to increase his might. He rose by a lot actually but still feels weak in combat. Minion enemies are still doing good damage and capable of killing. Unless you go into your junior god form, you will get washed by your enemies. This includes giant rat creatures.

X35 Earthwalker Skyforge

It’s gotten crazy. Some levels are clearly hated and boring. Get rid of them. You have no choice concerning which level or mission in the directives. The draconian enemies has that one unit who goes active camouflage Halo style and when it’s like that it can’t be targeted. It’s immune to almost all forms of damage and gets to run away from the fight. It’s not a difficult enemy but an annoying enemy. It wastes your time. Get rid of that enemy. It’s smaller stuff like that as well. Fix the whole story and campaign issue to remove confusion. There’s no real story in Skyforge. Black desert and Tera have one and it’s more fun and engaging. Skyforge still has the “welcome… now be free approach” with no information.

Overall Skyforge got a lot to work on. They ned to improve visuals, frame rates do the changes we mentioned and off course more. We would say more but we are keeping it short. Currently both Tera and Black Desert are better games without question. The modern trailers for this game are cool for sure but the gameplay ain’t as clean or good as the trailer. We want Skyforge to be a much better game. Developers, either make it happen or watch the slow fade continue. Now Skyforge has junior and elder gods but they are mortal peasants compared to… the ‘Earth Walk!’

CounterAttack. Side scrolling time

Posted on November 2, 2022 by X35 Earthwalker

CounterAttack is a side scrolling shooter developed by ‘Relative Games‘ and published by ‘Relative Software‘. CounterAttack is said to be coming out the 5th of November 2022 on the Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One. counterAttack is already a released game on Linux, Mac and pc. CounterAttack is coming to consoles… the Xbox Series X. X35 Earthwalker is the best in the gaming industry. Let’s take a look.

X35 Earthwalker Counterattack

The story here in CounterAttack is simple. Earth is under attack. So defend it. Basically. The enemies this time are ‘Automations’. Created by humanity themselves. They have rebelled against us and now we got a problem. The solution is to fight back with the ‘Experimental Space Fighter Program’. Basically pilots who pilot powerful space ships made for combat. Blast away, evade incoming fire and try to survive. You know the drill.

CounterAttack has an amazing feature that many other games don’t have and that is… local co-op! So locally you can do 1-4 and online you can do 2-8. The amount of good games that don’t have local co-op is pathetic. A game like this does need local co-op. So gather friends and family and go blast some ‘Automations’.

X35 Earthwalker Counterattack

Each pilot is different as they have their own ship and unique ultimate weapon. So check them all out first. Carl has the Plasma Strike, Biff has the Big Biff Laser, Joe has Overcharge, Jinx has the Hack Wave, Ayumi has the Tactical Nuke, Sarah has the Quantium Shield, Marcus has the Mesonwave and Sloane has the Fighter Squadron. So yeah, Looking forward to finding out who has the best ultimate weapon and who is the most versatile in use.

X35 Earthwalker Counterattack

We checked out some CounterAttack gameplay and it’s what we expected. The graphics and visuals are not very good though. It’s the simple style that they went for. Gameplay is more important though and that’s definitely there. You can unlock upgrades to make you more powerful. Enhance your ship and maybe do it your way. Equip attachments to basically create new weapons as in how they function. We hear there’s over 500 attachments concerning your ship. There’s even 3 endless survival modes. Sounds like quite a semi packed game.

Overall CounterAttack sounds like a very good game. CounterAttack is cross platform for multiplayer. This means Linux, Mac, pc and now off course, the best, Xbox. The story mode has 32 levels. There’s even a level editor, so players can of crazy with that. Medium high levels of customisation. The variety of enemies is a big factor that we need to see. The developers ‘Relative Games’ have done a good job with this game. X35 Earthwalker himself will see what becomes of this being on console. Now CounterAttack may have 8 different pilots but all of them together accomplish nothing against… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Some great games from the past

Posted on October 21, 2022October 21, 2022 by X35 Earthwalker

X35 Earthwalker being the greatest and smartest gamer and person on earth, has off course come across many games. Not all good games got the spotlight. Some were under the radar and just didn’t really get noticed. This time X35 Earthwalker just wanted to go over a few games briefly. So they get mentioned and hopefully bring up some good memories for other gamers. Let’s take a look.

Now off course there are tons of good games and many great games but we can only choose a few for this G-blog. Now these aren’t the best games or games that defined an era or whatever. Just good games we remembered when we sat down for a moment and did some casual thinking.

World of Van Helsing Deathtrap. Now this X35 Earthwalker and this game got way back. You like tower defence? Yah! You like facing enemies head on? Yah! Then World of Van Helsing Deathtrap is for you… probably. It’s a very good game and we spent hours in it. There’s lots of levels and challenges. Your character gets in the fray and fights the hordes that come along with the towers you build. Many towers with different effects and elemental attacks. There’s many, many different enemies, including champions and worst of all… the… the lord of the swarm. The lord of the swarm will NOT be talked about but let’s just say that it’s arrival is ALWAYS announced. We might come back and try this again.

Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes is another good game from the past. This isn’t a big game but quite a big adventure. You go through 5 completely different areas with five completely different characters weilding ‘V’ (roman numerical) different factions of basic, elite and champion units. There’s numerous strategies and builds you can run in battles. Players must align three of the units by matching colours to create attack formations or walls. Move troops around, delete some and call in more to get as much alignment and links as possible. We have had multiple battles and X35 Earthwalker defeated many more experienced higher level players, like in the video above. This game is good fun and has a challenging story mode. The story difficulty is old school and gets real hard towards the end, to the point where it’s actually unfair. There’s unlockable characters and units to find and earn through the story too. You got to love it.

Who likes explosions? Saying yes doesn’t make you a terrorist. More likely means you like Mega bomberman. We do. Bomberman Battlefest was at the time the best bomber man game. Multiplayer was crazy. Lots of room for games with the family, the friends or even online. Off course there isn’t anyone online anymore but in the past there was and some players were dedicated Bomberman players. We even faced a dude with a jester hat who when had the remote control bombs was almost unstoppable. Bomberman Battlefest brings back the classic bomber man gameplay and adds the modes and items. The different types of bombs are here off course like pass through bomb and bouncy bomb. There’s even the dangerous bomb which at max strength covers basically a quarter of the screen. There’s team modes, keep the crown and more. The CPU are not bad either. At the highest difficulty, they can be a problem from time to time.

Here’s just three games that came to our mind during that quick think. World of Van Helsing Deathtrap, Might & Magic Clash of Heroes and Bomberman Battlefest. These are also games that you can come back to and not get bored. They are that good or fun. Now these games may still be fun and hold up but they aren’t as fun as… the ‘Earth Walk!’
