Dragon Bros. Simple dragon fun

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

Dragon Bros is a new 2D run & gun adventure game developed by ‘Space Lizard Studio LTD’ and coming out May 31st for the Xbox One and PS4 but already out on PC. This game seem like another one of those fun easy games that you could casually play.

The story is the traditional rescue story. There are four dragons. Four dragons who are teenagers which is totally radical dude. Their mother has been kidnapped and so the boys head out to rescue her. Players will control the Dragon Bros. Your enemy? The Mechaliches. They are an evil robotic society. According to the website, they survived the collapse of a technologically advanced alien civilization. So now the Dragon Bros must run, gun, charge and blast their way through the Mechaliches and get mummy back. Talk about good sons. 

The Mechaliches are robots for sure and as true robots they have many units and functions. That’s right. There are robots that won’t stop shooting at you, others drop bombs, others lob things at you, some fly around, some have a shield in front of them, some fly and shoot, Some just want to punch you, some fly and drop bombs, some are slow but tough, some are sniping you. That’s not all. Some of the enemies are robotic enemies that move, while others are structures like shield generator, huge fan, turret, enemy factory, traps. Stuff like that. The Dragon Bros have their work cut out for them.

The Dragon Bros will get some help though. There are multiple power ups for the brothers to collect and use. The main power ups and are upgrades to your weapons. Super laser, naval cannon, Machine gun and more. There are heath packs as well. The Dragon Bros are rewarded for destroying things. Kids these days. Back in my day we use skip and play tag… anyway, every form of destruction will grant the player scraps which is score. You can use the scraps to unleash your weapons super powers for a few seconds which grants: higher damage, larger splash area, bigger bullets, increased range, bouncy projectiles, secondary effects. Stuff like that.

The best part of Dragon Bros is that it is co-op. 2 Player action. So you can take on and fight the Mechaliches with your family or friends. Save your mum together. The developers have quoted that more levels and updates are coming in the future. So expect more to do.

Overall this game looks simple and fun. We checked out some game play and the whole thing just looks like fun. Old style but futuristic. The developers, ‘Space Lizard Studio LTD’ did a good job. We at X35 Earthwalker look forward to seeing what Dragon Bros does.

Battle Breakers. A new free to play

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

Battle Breakers is a new tactical RPG being developed by ‘EpicGames’ for IOS, PC and Android. It will come out later this year we have heard but it’s already been released in Australia according to the official battle Breakers website.

We do not have a lot of information on this game but it straight away reminds us of Clash of heroes Might and magic. This game is about being tactical with your units and what they can do. For example don’t just attack and make actions without thinking as your units will be on cool down after attacks. Some are on cool down for 5 turns. Every character and even enemies are of a certain element like fire, water etc. So some are strong against others dealing 50% more damage. Corrupted crystals must be broken which cleanses the land and releases whatever was in that crystal. Breaking them in a row will earn you extra points. 

We have been told that Battle breakers will feature hundreds of recruitable heroes including robots, ninjas, dinosaurs and knights. This game is also cross-platform play between mobile devices and PCs. The invading monsters are going to put up a serious fight so build and upgrade the ancient Sky Tower fortress which will reinforce and improve your defenses. Your heroes can use the power of tsunamis, earthquakes, firestorms and more.

It is still in development but you can pre-register right now and you will get the bonus in-game content: Dark beastman character.

Overall, after checking out some gameplay we can say that Battle breakers seems alright. It’s definitely tactical in how you handle the battles, deciding what to do with each character and off course timing. The graphics are alright while the music is very good. It isn’t our kind of thing but we at X35 Earthwalker will still check it out. This game might be worth checking out.

A walk in the dark. Coming to light soon

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

A Walk in the Dark is a new action platformer developed by ‘Flying turtle software’ coming out May 19th for the Xbox One and Windows 10. A Walk in the Dark might remind some gamers of games like Limbo and even Outland, which was an awesome game by the way. So the style of the game has worked for others so there’s a good chance it will work for this game too.

A Walk in the Dark has a nice traditional rescue story. Basically Arielle and her cat, Bast, go for a walk through the forest. Apparently they have done this many times before but this time they encounter an ancient, evil creature that has awakened somehow it’s target is Arielle. The player takes control of Bast and you must venture out into the forest to rescue Arielle. Now like with any other journey or rescue or game for that matter, the journey will be hard. This ain’t no regular forest. This forest is dark. It’s also filled with dangerous traps and strange creatures. You will need to slide, jump and run your way through many levels in order to rescue their Arielle from that ancient, evil creature. 100 levels to be precise. So get to it.

We have checked out some gameplay of A Walk in the Dark and we are happy with it. It all looks very good. Seriously. The levels are designed very well from what we have seen. We think there may be a slight problem with the controls of the cat in terms of jumping and bouncing of the walls. Now when it comes to these types of game the only game that nails it perfectly is Outland. We aren’t over rating that game but it’s that good and the controls seem less perfected but more will be revealed over time. The enemies range from basic as in move left and right or up and down to ones that aren’t so simple. Each level also has dandelions to find and a par time to beat. So you can beat the level at your own pace or aim for perfection by getting all the dandelions and the par time in the same run. It’s worth a try.

Overall A Walk in the Dark looks real good. The graphics are very nice and the sounds are very good as well. We think the music is better though so make sure to listen. The developers ‘Flying turtle software’ did a great job. This game might be worth checking out. Whether walks in the dark is your thing or not, we know that your thing… is the ‘Earth Walk!’

Shadow Warrior 2. Lo Wang ain’t playing

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

Shadow Warrior 2 is a first person shooter game developed by ‘Flying Wild Hog’. It is the sequel to Shadow warrior 1 (We are sure you guessed that). It’s coming out May 19th for Xbox One and PS4 but already out on PC. Now this looks like a game that we want to play and try for ourselves. 

Shadow Warrior 2 takes place 5 years after the prequel. Lo Wang’s actions has stopped one problem but created another. There is now a new order where demons and humans live side by side. Lo Wang is currently a hired sword, like an assassin. There is this one mission that goes wrong and now he has new enemies: A cult leader, a new drug called ‘Shade’ and a brilliant scientist. This forces him to do what he does best. Grab some powerful guns, wield some magic and use some swords. The battles have gotten crazier.

X35 Earthwalker instantly liked this game simply because it was action packed, fighting demons, and fast flowing. It’s brutal. For some games this works very well. There are over 70 firearms and blades for you to wield and use against the enemies. There are hand claws, katanas, crescent blades and short swords. Find your favourite and put it to work. We have seen firearms that function like rifles, shotguns and even dual wield smgs. This game so far does not lack variety. Also if you pre-order the Shadow Warrior 2 you get the ‘Razor back katana’. Basically a katana but lined with chainsaws around the edge.

Shadow warriors have a lot of features and details for gamers to use. First of all, the environments are procedural generated. Meaning that missions will always have different action and looks keeping everything fresh and new to some extent. When in combat there is a system which allows you to use blades to cut of the enemies heads, or limbs. This allows you to fight strategically and have more control over your actions. There is a upgrade system as well. You can do this by equipping them with stones which can grant your weapons elemental effects and improve their performance. So things like damage and having fire damage on blades and guns we believe. Find and equip armour and karma amulets to boost Lo Wang even more. Things are getting crazier and crazier.

The enemies aren’t short on variety either. There are advanced human enemies, humanoid demon and straight up demons all waiting for the chance to destroy you. So you must pick the right weapons to deal with the enemies that you face. Some demons are large, while some carry weapons. Some strike you with magic and power while others prefer to claw, slam and smash you to bits. Don’t let that happen.

Best of all Shadow warriors has four player co-op. All this mad action and you can share it all with your friends, family etc. Imagine four gamers just rushing around, blasting holes through demons, slicing of enemy limbs and heads while blowing everything up together.

We have checked out some gameplay and we can confirm that it is excellent. The fights are fast pace and required the gamer to think fast and keep dishing out the pain to the enemies. Switching at anytime between swords for melee slicing action, to demon shredding guns is quick and painless (for you anyway). The enemies don’t wait for their turn in Shadow warriors 2. The little ones rush to attack you. The big ones with weapons will keep up their assault while blades are coming your way. Use magic to impale, immobilise enemies or straight up harm them. Use more powers like zooming across certain distances giving you the mobility you need against your foes. The graphics are excellent, the sounds are great and the main character comes out with smart answers, cheeky comments and more. A lot of work went into this game.

Overall we at X35 Earthwalker are happy with what we have seed of Shadow Warriors 2. The developers ‘Flying Wild Hog’ did a fantastic job with this game. We at X35 Earthwalker are definitely looking forward to seeing what more gamers have to say about this game. This is worth checking out. Do you like killing demons? Whether you do or not make sure… to like the ‘Earth Walk!’

Human: Fall flat. A strange new game

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

Human: Fall flat is a new game classed as a open-ended physics based puzzle game. Developed by ‘No Brakes Games’ and coming out May 12th for Xbox One but already out for PC and PS4. This game is strange but in some ways interesting.

From first look in Fall flat you see a blobby, liquidy white man walking around quite wonkyly (not the best dictionary words) around and moving stuff. Sounds strange? Well that’s because it is. Basically that blobby man you control is called Bob and get this… Bob is also a builder. We aren’t making this up. Bob gets recurring dreams of him falling. So your job is to take Bob through his dreams which is full of surprises, puzzles and dangers. Physics are very important in Fall flat. In fact it is specified on their website that the physics are very real. This game should therefore have some high class physics reality. 

Fall flat aims to set its self apart from all the other with some very distinct features. There is no script and no limits. You are said to have complete control over Bob. There are 8 worlds and all are fully interactive environments so everything can be interacted with. So carry and climb whatever you want. All the worlds are full of puzzles so there’s lots to do. You can have your own custom Bob which you can paint. Take it further by importing your own face through a webcam. 

Lastly and best of all, this Fall flat is co-op. Local co-op so you can your friend can take on the puzzle filled worlds together. Games almost always are better when they have multiplayer features, especially local co-op.

We have checked out some gameplay and we have some mixed feelings but leaning more to a certain side. Fall flat just from looking at it makes you not take the game seriously. From how the character looks to how it walks makes you think “really?” but when you look at what Fall flat is about and trying to accomplish you do, if possible, want to know more. Games that offer more freedom tend to be explored more by players. So basically we would like to know more but we are leaning more towards the side where we won’t go out of our way to try the game. We probably have to see someone else play it first before being convinced.

Lastly – Human: Fall flat

Overall Fall flat is strange and not our kind of thing but it may be for another gamer. The developers ‘No Brakes Games’ are going for something new. We at X35 Earthwalker think this game still needs to prove itself to us. This game might be worth checking out. Whether you think so or not is not even half as important… as the ‘Earth Walk!’

The surge. Bringing cybernetic action to us soon

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

The Surge is a new action RPG game developed by ‘Deck13’ and is coming out May 19th for the Xbox One, PC and PS4. There are many games that have come out and some are soon to come and yet we haven’t even gotten a lot of them. We need a game that really makes us want to play. Straight away this game has got our attention but is it what we’ve been waiting for?

We don’t know much about who we play as. Maybe that because we get to customise and create our own character. We do know that we have cybernetic implants and equipped with the ‘Exo-suit’ which isn’t the flashiest name but it works. We also have super human strength. Our enemy is the CREO complex, a mega corporation, who makes it their mission to save the world. We bet the corporation is evil and corrupt. So your character starts their first day at work but something went wrong and kcocked you out, then you wake up with the exo-suit in a section of the complex. Now everything is your enemy. There’s a rogue AI, hostile robots and your co-workers who have augmentations of their own so expect a fight. A real fight.

The Surge places heavy emphasis on combat an it’s what this game is mainly about. You shouldn’t just charge in and rush everything as even the weakest enemies can be a big threat. You need to watch them and study them to know what they are all about. Discover their attack patterns and more importantly their weaknesses. The Surge has a serious targeting system which allows you to target specific parts of their body (limbs). Even better, you can loot to craft the attachment that you cut off. Finally! A game has this feature. There are times where you kill and enemy and you want to take their weapon but you can’t. Now we can in a way. So are you going to straight up kill your enemies or do they have something that you need to become more powerful. The attacks are vertical and horizontal. Time when to step in or out and pick your moments well to attack. Then finish them of with some healthy violent style. So you could end up building loading weapons and security staffs and much more.

Your exo-suit does have a limit though so you need to make a decisions concerning your power requirements. As you progress through the game and slay enemies you will collect tech scrap. Basically experience points. You use these points to upgrade your exo-suit which increases it’s power output which allows you to use stronger implants and more implants in total making you a incredibly powerful. On top of that, the more you use your weapons the greater your efficiency with them. Eventually you will deal increased damage. More damage means easier fights.

The CREO complex is massive and their are many areas for you to explore.  That sounds like fun but there is one problem. Each area has people who use to work in those places. They with their exo-suits and industrial equipment will pose a massive threat. You have been warned. Make sure to search the executive levels, mechanical areas and toxic underground passages to fight enemies, collect parts, find loot and learn what happened at the CREO complex. So watch out for audio messages, dialogues from survivors and any other clues that you find through the game.

The most interesting part of the game is definitely the combat. It’s brutal and can go either way for both you and the enemies. Some say that this game is basically dark souls but sci-fi. Not exactly. We have checked out some gameplay and whatever and agreed that this game is a higher level than dark souls from what we can see and from some of the game features that we learnt about. The Surge is said to be very difficult and the battles can be very punishing so your mistakes will cost you a lot. To make things worst, remember the tech scrap we mentioned? Well if you die it all drops where you died. If you want it back then you have to go back there and collect it or you will lose it all forever. So what if you got completely owned by a way more powerful enemy and your tech scrap is left there? Well either get it back or it’s gone. So think carefully and know what you are getting yourself into.

Overall the game looks very good indeed. The graphics are excellent. The environments are excellent as well. We can tell some gamers will spend a bit of time just looking around and taking in the sights when on the outside of the complex. Sounds work very well. You can see that a lot of work went into this game. The developers ‘Deck13’ did an excellent job with this game. We at X35 Earthwalker know that many gamers are going to love this game as long as the developers don’t screw it up. This game is definitely worth checking out. Now you may or may not have what it takes to play this game, whether you do is not as important as… doing the ‘Earth Walk!’

Valkyria Revolution. The action is soon here

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

Valkyria Revolution is part of the Valkyria series but considered a spin off. Valkyria Revolution was developed by ‘Media.Vision’ and is coming out June 27th (America) and June 30th (Europe) for the Xbox One, PS4 and PS Vita.

Now honestly we don’t know much about this game. We haven’t even heard of it but we have checked it out and so far it looks real good and interesting. In the trailer you see a big battle going on, people in armour with guns, then a giant mech like machine shows up and stands laying down some serious fire. Then a confident looking lady with a giant scythe stands there. She looks confident, bit cocky and had a serious entrance to the battle which means she’s powerful (in the fictional world). The two leaders on the other armies side prepares to take her on. From that trailer alone, you can pick up many things about Valkyria Revolution.

Valkyria Revolution is an RPG game with some focus on action (off course) and strategy. It won’t be turn based so stay on your guard. Amleth is the commanding officer of Jutland’s elite anti-Valkyria unit and is the character players control in Valkyria Revolution. There are more main characters like Brynhildr who is a Valkyria and is on the side of the Ruzhien Empire and Jutland’s princess Ophelia. Sorry guys but when we see the name ‘Brynhildr’ we think of the Eidolon from Final Fantasy 13, who was awesome by the way.

The action seems flow very well in Valkyria Revolution. You can switch between your characters with a click of the button to mix things up. Select and use side-arms and Ragnites during combat to dominate the field. In the trailer saw a smoke grenade like side arm which really smokes the place out. The graphics are very good in this game. The sounds are good. From what we have seen this looks very cool indeed. We hope to learn more about this game. Check it out for yourself to learn more.

Overall Valkyria Revolution has got our attention. The developers ‘Media.Vision’ did a great job. This game might be worth checking out. Whether you do or not just make sure… to do the ‘Earth Walk!’

Redout: Enhanced edition. Zooming out soon

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

Redout is a fast paced multiplayer racing game, developed by ’34BigThings srl’. It is already out on PC but Redout enhanced edition will be coming to consoles May 30th we heard. This game was made as a tribute to old racing games like ‘F-zero’. So already you know what Redout enhanced edition is all about. Extreme speed!

The developers said on their website,”The floating system and driving models are based on physics: each turn, slope, hard braking, acceleration, each turn and twist of the track will apply a unique force to the ship”. Basically they are aiming to create fast, serious driving experience. So this is far from a simple racing game. Every bump, clash and crash will have some real effect on your vehicle. This game was created using the unreal Engine 4.

Firstly there is the career mode which has over 100 events to race. As you race and progress you level up and can upgrade your ship. There are 25 all around in 5 different locations set in a post apocalyptic earth. To make things crazier, there are some boss circuits. We hope they are like the boss battles in ‘Drome racers’. That was a great game. Hopefully it will be a 1v1 with a powerful racer. There are 6 racing teams and each one has a different style. We believe it’s best to master them all.

This game does bring some variety to the racing but we hope there are more diverse modes though. There is Classic race, Arena race and Score based endurance. Will there be modes that are battle styles with weapons or is it strictly racing? Both are good depending on what the game is aiming for. This game has some large multiplayer though which for game like this is essential. You play against 12 players. There is more than 10 powerups like advanced grip system, self repair drones, additional turbo, slipstream enhancers, shields and more. The interesting part is that these powerups are upgradable. So most likely things like level 3 shields which will absorb more damage.

The developers said, “full 5.1 support and a dynamic soundtrack that will drop sicker and sicker beats the faster you go”. That’s one way of putting it. So better tunes the faster you go? We like the sounds of that. What’s very interesting and will make things very intense for some gamers is the fact that Redout enhanced is compatible with VR. So if you have a Oculus Rift, HTC Vive or Razer OSVR then put that on and take your racing to another level.

The developers have stated that Redout enhanced edition is the fastest game ever made. Your vehicle can go at 800km/h which is pretty fast if you ask us. Could you handle those speeds and the magnetic forces working on your vehicle. The graphics are excellent and the sounds are very great.

Overall Redout enchanced edition looks like an excellent game. The enhanced edition will be even better. From some gameplay the racing looks intense. The developers ’34BigThings srl’ a very good job with this game. It’s definitely worth checking out. Can you handle the speed? The real question is whether you can do the ‘Earth Walk!’

Portal Knights. Crafting our adventure soon

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

Portal knights is a sandbox action-RPG adventure developed by ‘Keen Games’ coming out May 19th for the Xbox One and PS4 but already out on PC. Some have described this game as minecraft but more RPG and adventure. Let’s see for ourselves.

The story in this game is that the world was peaceful but something happened and tore it apart by ‘The Fracture’ which plummeted the world into darkness. No one remembers how it has been since that happened. You, the player must be the hero and unite the shattered world. Be the portal knight. That’s basically it. Nice simple and that means we will have to craft out own adventure.

Now yes, straight away you as soon as you see the game, Minecraft will pop into your head, which is a good thing. This means crafting is a feature here. You can build your own base, castle, lair, hideout, it doesn’t matter. Just build yourself a mighty and spacious fortress to call your own. Level up your character as you go through the lands to become stronger and more of a force to be taken seriously. Your character has attributes like strength, wisdom, agility and more so decide what kind of character you want, whether tanky or mobility. 

There are many lands to explore and traverse. There are caves, lakes and dungeons. As you travel, collect resources for crafting. Battle many enemies with different weapons and spells. Study your enemies and learn when to attack and when to dodge. We heard the movements have been stepped up from the initial released game. Traditionally you can pick between: Mage, Ranger and Warrior. Customise your gear, appearance and abilities while also unlocking new abilities as you level up. Collect portal stone shards to build portal stones and build the portals which allow you to reach and travel to different areas.

Give your character some character (see what we did there?) with emotes like the one which shows your portal knight charging up with fire which does look cool. There’s another emote which makes your portal knight wave and do a little jump around. If that wasn’t enough then get your portal knight a pet. That’s right. Pet’s like a cat for example are ready to be owned. There are over 100 items to craft and you can even build furniture so why not get a fine couch to get lazy on after a hard fought battle. Just saying.

The biggest threats are the portal guardians. They are said to be huge, powerful epic bosses. We have seen a ice dragon, a giant ground catepillar like thing and more. The bosses are definitely huge indeed and look interesting. This shouldn’t be a problem though as Portal Knights is all about playing with your friends. as it’s 4 player co-op. You can team up with mates and work together to destroy the portal guardians, collect resources and build fortresses and giant structures together. 

We have checked out some gameplay and from what we have seen the game looks real cool. The worlds look very big and has a lot to explore. The attention to detail is very good. There is so much stuff in each world. Even the vegetation have a lot going on. The skies could look better though as they seem a bit grainy but that’s minor. The portal knights should move faster in our opinion. They are too slow. The environments have variety and look great. The battles seem easy to control and flows quite nicely. This is one of those games that you need to check out and see gameplay for yourself. The graphics are very good and some areas look nice and colourful. The sounds of the weapons, attacks, actions and enemies are all good. 

Overall this is definitely a good game and many gamers have good things to say about the original PC release. It looks fun and you can’t get mad at co-op. More games need this. Very glad that it’s now going to be available to console gamers, this means we can actually try the game ourselves. The developers ‘Keen Games’ did a very good job with this game. Portal Knights is worth checking out. Whether you like to craft or not… just make sure you do the ‘Earth Walk!’

Race The Sun. Racing to all soon

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

Race The Sun technically isn’t a new game as it did come out in 2014 but we have never heard of it nor do we know anyone who has heard of it. Well now people will. Race the sun was developed by ‘Flippfly LLC’. This game is finally coming out to Xbox One on April 21st, meaning now everyone can get the game which is what they should have done before.

Race The Sun is classed as a endless running game. In the world of Race The Sun you control a solar craft and the sun is literally your “death timer”. Why? Well you are a solar craft and run on solar energy like the sun, so if the sun sets, you have no power and you lose. Yes this is a pointless struggle and you must delay the inevitable for as long as possible. This game isn’t easy as there are lots of obstacles that will get in your way and cause you to crash like falling pillars, pyramid shaped structures, rolling balls and more. What’s even better is that your solar craft moves at breakneck speed. You are literally zooming around so that means reflexes is the crucial skill here. If you don’t have that, then you are screwed. Along the way you will run pyramid shaped energy boosts which reverse the setting of the sun temporarily, buying you more time. The question is how long can you survive and how far can you get?

Simple make sure to do the following things: stay in the light at all times, never slow down regardless and off course don’t smack into something solid (crash). Easier said then done when the worlds are said to be random generated worlds that change every day. Now that’s not all this game is. There are objectives that once completed unlocks upgrades for your ship and levels it up. Level 25 is the maximum we believe. There are different attachments that will give you the edge you need like granting faster turning. Race The Sun has a feature that more games need, a built-in editor which you can use to create your own endless worlds. So have fun with that. There are world portals that will take you to other user-created worlds and thanks to the built-in editor you know there are some crazy designs out there. It is said that there is a mode that you must unlock called ‘Apocalypse’ which is a extremely hard world. Probably keeping the player alert at all times forcing them to never be able to look away.

From what we have seen of the game, it does look like a lot of fun. It is really fast, the design of the world do make Race The Sun quite challenging. The regions are quite diverse from each other which is great as we love variety. The power ups available make things interesting as there is one which grants the solar craft the ability to jump. This sounds simple but if you play the game you will see just how useful that it as you jump really high. It can get intense even to watch. We at X35 Earthwalker are already really interested in Race The Sun. The graphics are very good for a simple game. The sounds are good and the music is okay

Overall this is a really fun game. It’s challenging. Will make you want to take multiple tries and simple to understand. The developers ‘Flippfly LLC’ did a very great job with this game. We at X35 Earthwalker are really looking forward to seeing what ‘Race The Sun’ has got for us. It is worth checking out. Whether you can race the sun or not it doesn’t matter but what does matter is that… you do the ‘Earth Walk!’
