Outlast 2. This ain’t no joke

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

Outlast 2 is the long awaited survival horror game sequel developed by ‘Red barrels’ coming out April 25th for Xbox One, PC and PS4. Outlast 2 is soon here. In a week in fact. Quite a few people have been talking about this game and their expectations. From what we have heard, this game isn’t a joke. 

In the world of Outlast 2 you control Blake Langermann. He is a camera man and he works with his wife, Lynn. By following clues they have come miles into the Arizona desert concerning the murder of a pregnant lady called ‘Jane Doe’. Why? Oh, that’s because Blake and Lynn are investigative journalists. Risking their lives to find the story behind the stories and uncover the truths. Basically doing stuff that no normal person would do. We are’t dissing, just saying, we aren’t going into the desert to investigate some murder but that’s the plot so let’s go with it.

Now some people have declared Outlast as the scariest game they have ever played. There are jump scares, sneaking, creep looking people, crazy people (it’s an asylum), a large humanoid monster that won’t stop following you like seriously why is it so persistent and much more. The game also centered around a cool mechanic where it’s really dark and in order to see, you will need to use your camera which has night vision. Kind of like in Doom 3 where you had to at multiple times switch between your gun and your flash light. This made the game more dreadful for some as using the camera consumes battery life. So when do you use the camera is up to you. There was one moment where a certain person was sneaking around, then stopped and decided to use his camera. He saw a threat dead right in front of him, which was a scary moment for him but a hilarious moment for us.

From what we have seen and heard concerning Outlast 2, the game looks like it going to take a darker and creepier turn. The location is dark and so not welcoming. The atmosphere seems to have been done right concerning the location. There is even a pit filled with the bodies of dead babies which must be one of the most disturbing things ever in video games. It’s obvious at this point that the fact that the murdered lady, Jane Doe, being pregnant is related to all this. In the demo you see a book, blood, a manger like thing and symbols. This has to be the work of a religious cult that apparently believes in killing babies and stuff. The whole evil religious cult theme has been done a lot over the years so let’s see if Outlast 2 gets it right as some have been too predictable or didn’t go big enough with it but a pit of dead bodies is considered a start for some. 

The game has more details than before as sounds have been carefully placed in like stepping on certain bodies produces a squishy fleshy noise which will disturb some weak stomach gamers. This game is literally out to scare people as they even have the instant look behind you button because we need a nice mug shot of whatever will be chasing us. Nice feature though, we actually like it. It’s always better to give options to gamers. We are interested to know more about that scythe wielding humanoid lady who has no problems ripping of a certain part of the main character in the demo (seriously go watch it for yourself). Here’s the thing though. X35 Earthwalker is one of those people who doesn’t get scared from these games. Whether it’s slender man, five nights at freddy’s and even dead space. It just doesn’t seem to work but he is looking forward to seeing what this game has in store.

Just to let you all know, also on the 25th of April ‘Outlast trinity’ will be coming out which is basically a physical collection of the Outlast series: Outlast, the Whistleblower DLC and Outlast II. Take note of this as when Outlast 2 comes out, it will come out digitally for the Xbox One, PC and PS4. So decide what type of copy you want.

Overall Outlast 2 looks great. They emphasise the importance of using cover effectively. The graphics are improved and look good. The sounds have been stepped up. The atmosphere in out opinion is very good indeed. If you want a survival horror game that will keep you focused, double checking corners and eventually scared to the point where you have to pause the game then this might be for you. The developers ‘Red barrels’ did a great job with this game. Keep it up guys. We at X35 Earthwalker are keeping an eye out to see what this game can do. This game is worth checking out. Whether you get scared or not, never be scared… to do the ‘Earth Walk!’

Wonder boy: The dragon’s trap. On it’s way

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap is a new action adventure game developed by ‘Lizardcube’ is coming out April 18th for the Xbox One, PC Nintendo switch and PS4. The Wonder boy series continues. We personally have never heard of Wonder boy but this game ‘The Dragon’s trap’ has one game feature that instantly gets our attention.

In this game the main character (Hu-man) has been cursed by the Meka-Dragon. The curse made him into a half human, half lizard person-thing. Off course he isn’t happy like this so sets off to find a cure. You learn that the only way to turn back normal human is to find the ‘Salamander Cross’. The strange thing in Dragon’s trap is that this curse gets worse with every dragon the main character kills. He transforms into different animals each time.  

The locations in this game are said to be large and interconnected. Each location is filled filled with many monsters and dragons. If you don’t want Hu-man then you can play as Hu-girl. Eventually your character will transform into a: Mouse-man, Lion-man, Hawk-man, Lizard-man and Piranha-man. Each form has their own unique abilities which are needed to traverse and explore. So far we like Lizard-man the most.

The most interesting and coolest thing about this game is the feature allowing the player to switch between modern graphics and sound to 8-but graphics and sound whenever you want, this includes gameplay. This isn’t the first game to do this. Halo CE anniversary did this and it’s a awesome feature to have. With one click of the button you can see you could see how halo looked back then and then click again to see it with the modern high graphics. Same with this game. Check out Dragon’s trap trailers to see this for yourself. It’s very good and this alone makes Dragon’s trap stand out from other games.

We have checked out some gameplay and from what we have seen, it looks fun. The Mouse-man can cling to surfaces ad fun along them as if it was the ground. This game even has an cloud enemy. A cloud that wears sunglasses! It even tries to act cool. We are liking it the game already. There is a cyclops, skeletons and other weird looking enemies. The game works and flows very well. The graphics are good for it’s style and looks real friendly. The music is very well done and the sounds are good as well. The developers ‘Lizardcube’ have done well with this game. This might be worth checking out.

Shiness: The lightning kingdom. Dynamic RPG

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

Shiness: The lightning kingdom is a new RPG game developed by ‘Enigami’ coming out April 18th for the Xbox One, PC and PS4.  This game has already gotten awards concerning the ‘Games connection Europe 2014’ and more. You can see those and more on the steam page.

In shiness: the lightning kingdom you play as Chado and his crew in a universe that is said to be ‘doomed to destruction ever since the fragmentation of the planet Mahera’. So a dying world. There appears to be a war between different kingdoms where Chado and his companions (Poky, Kayenne, Askel and Rosalya) have landed. The first aim is to solve the problem. Possibly create peace between the kingdoms or maybe right the wrongs that one kingdom has done to another. Each of the five characters have different powers and you must know when to use each one to traverse the large world in this game. One character will have immense strength, another has telekenetic abilities. Yep ill be some magic and some straight up physical combat in Shiness the lightning kingdom.

The developers have said that Shiness the lighting kingdom offers players a great amount of freedom. Freedom in both combat and exploring. That is something that developers must take into consideration when making large games, RPG and also open world games. Some gamers like to just follow the story all the way through while others want to do things their ow way. Making sure their is a way to do both will always gain way more approval than disappointments. The elements that we all know: earth, fire, air, water etc are called ‘Shi elements’. So the fire Shi element character will use fire in some attacks but also will use it in more subtle ways like light a torch. The lightning kingdom being large also has objects and equipment for the player to find and use to increase your character stats. There are also parchments that contain new skills and abilities. This means that exploration should be included in your schedule while gaming. If we know RPG’s, and we think we do, there will be some large and powerful bosses that will be a real problem without a good amount of stat increases and abilities. Apparently some of the Shi elements can be combined for example air plus fire equals thunder. How interesting.

The developers have made it so that you can complete quests in more than one way. This is interesting as that has to mean that the different ways produce different outcomes which we at X35 Earthwalker believer will effect the story. We were correct as it has been confirmed that the decisions you make and the characters in your group will impact the rewards you will get and the main storyline. Remember this when you go out to take on the quests. There are a number of different locations in this game that needs to be explored. There is ‘Gendys’ which has plains, ‘Gromiz has caves, ‘Mantara’ has a flying city and more locations which are very different from each other. When we think of a flying city we think of that planet from Metroid prime 3 corruption. 

The fight system is like final fantasy  13 lightning returns except no paradigm shifts. It’s similar as in you can attack whenever but so can your enemy. It’s up to reflexes and timing. Know when to attack and knowing when to be defensive. You can call on your team mates to replace the lead fighter at anytime. We hope this means that there are Shi element match ups. For example a water user would have the advantage over fire users. So the player would have to switch it up against certain enemies. Well we hope that system is also included as it adds another layer to combat. There are abilities which will heal you and while there are others which will temporarily boost your stats during the battle. All the more reasons to find those parchments as those attacks, physical and magical, come from them. The more you find, the more powerful you potentially can become. There is also special parchments called hyper parchments which allow you to learn ultimate attacks. Very cool indeed.

What’s probably most interesting is that this game was originally a manga. The little secret is that within the manga contains some hidden quests that you must read to find. So get reading if you want to get everything out of the game. Also just in case it wasn’t obvious to you the manga also contains extra information about the story, the characters, the Shiness universe and more. Shiness: the lightning kingdom is quite the world indeed.

The graphics are nice and the environments are well designed and the music was excellently composed (of what we have heard). Overall It’s clear that a lot of work has gone into this game and it does look like a very large one at that. Fun? We believe so. The developers ‘Enigami’ have done a excellent job with this game. We at X35 Earthwalker will keep an eye on this game and see what becomes of it with the gaming community. Whether you think about this game or not is not as important as thinking about whether… you have done the ‘Earth Walk!’

Guardian of the galaxy telltales series. Soon here

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

Guardian of the galaxy is the latest game in the telltale series. It’s an adventure game developed by ‘Telltale Games’ coming out the 18th of April for the Xbox One, PC and PS4. Those who already know about telltale and their games would know what to expect from this game. Our personal favourite was the batman telltale series so we wonder how Guardian of the galaxy will compare.

In Telltale games you play the story of that game like batman, walking dead etc but a mixed up version. For example in Batman some of the characters get different origin stories and some nice characters become bad guys. So you can’t predict from the start what’s going on making it very interesting as we love new things. You get to watch the story unfold but take part by deciding what your characters actions, reactions and dialogue will be. The story is heavily effected by what you decide. So will you be a nice guy, cowardly, a liar or a scum bag. It’s literally up to you. When the action starts though you have quick time events which if you fail may result in death.

Now Guardian of the galaxy focuses on the main characters of the movie and it looks like one of main bad guy of this tale is Thanos. Which incase you didn’t know is a major league bad guy considered to be too powerful by many. So you may be wondering what can those guys from guardians of the galaxy do against him. Well, we just have to wait and see. Will he lose due to something ridiculous or plot armour of protagonists? We will have to wait and find out.

There will be 5 episodes for this game and the first one comes out on the 18th of April. The games description also lets us know that a female character called the last of her kind is also involved and is the main bad guy. This has to make you wonder who this could be. What we also know is that the guardians have discovered a artifact of ‘unspeakable power’. Each one the guardians: Rocket, Gamora, Star-Lord, Groot and Drax all have their reasons for why they want the artifact. So how will this story go. Will they all initially be enemies and then team up after discovering the more worse enemies out their? 

The graphics look good in comparison to the others. From what we have seen this game aims to keep the humour that was in the movie. Overall it seems like it potentially has a lot to offer seeing as how they have a futuristic setting, aliens and different worlds at their disposal to make this a exciting game. From what we can see, it looks good but we still find batman more interesting but let’s see. Telltale fans will be ready for this one. The developers ‘Telltale’ did a good job with this game. This may be worth checking out. Whether you are a fan or not… You have to be a fan of the ‘Earth Walk!’

FlintHook. Coming with pirate treasure action

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

Flinthook is a new action adventure game, developed by ‘Tribute Games Inc’, coming out on the 18th of April for Xbox One, PC and PS4. Straight up we just have to say that this game does look cool. When we saw the name of the game… well… we weren’t impressed but we always give games a chance. We are glad again that we did.

In the world of Flinthook, you play a pirate called ‘Flinthook’ who loves treasure (who doesn’t?) and he zips into action because a certain treasure hunter “hatches a sinister plan to unleash an ancient evil to threaten the cosmos itself” according to their website. This character Flinthook is armed with his hookshot to zip around rooms and for that mobility advantage, his blasma pistol by the way that’s not a typo it’s actually Blasma pistol, is for blasting and taking the enemies out and his Chrono-belt once charged can slow down time making combat and evading projectiles much easier. This is a nice set of equipment. Offensive, mobility and atmospheric. Nice.

Now how the game looks and especially, how you travel from room to room, reminds us of Metroid. That’s a good thing as Metroid is an excellent game. This does have it’s own style though and does well by it. The levels which are pirate ships are randomly generated which is always nice to have in these types of games. The rooms contain different treasures and thanks to the randomness, you won’t know what you will get. The skills required for this game is once again reflexes and the ability to watch the whole screen. You will be zipping around to move and dodge attacks while shooting in any direction you want as it’s 360 degrees. 

Flinthook seems to be going after and hunting down the ‘Cluster clan’, which by the way have tough bosses. We don’t know much about the bosses but we heard that they aren’t supposed to be easy. Let’s hope that they do in fact pose a threat. There are also powerful perk cards and rare relics. You can unlock new equippable perks as you level up, get lore pages (lore about what though?) and buy permanent upgrades in the Black Market. There seems to be quite a few things to do in this game. 

We have checked out some gameplay of Flinthook and we like what we see. It’s fast paced, requires reflexes and flows nicely. It looks nice. The graphics for it’s style, looks good. The music is nice for what is going on. 

Overall Flinthook looks like a good fun game. It seems simple enough even though it will require some gamers to get practice. The developers ‘Tribute Games Inc’ did a good job with this game and we at X35 Earthwalker are looking forward to what this game brings. This game is worth checking out. Whether Flinthook is your thing or not… what is your thing is though is the the ‘Earth Walk!’

Yooka-Laylee teaming up soon

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

Yooka-Laylee is a new open world platformer game, developed by ‘Playtonic Games’ that’s coming out on the 11th of April for Xbox One, PC and PS4. Straight away we had to check Yooka-Laylee out. The protagonist Yooka looks real cool and cute at the same time.  That’s a good start as the main character is very important. It at times decides whether someone will even look at the game or not.

In the world of Yooka-Laylee you control Yooka the chameleon and Laylee who are on a mission to stop and defeat “corporate creep Capital B” who basically wants to absorb all the books in the world and “convert them into pure profit”. This reminds us of another game where it’s two animal protagonists who are on an adventure to save the world from that one enemy who has an army behind them. Nothing wrong with that as it’s a good set up for a story.

3D Platformers have all the opportunities to make the game awesome. You can have large worlds, crazy environments and just straight up mysteries all around with puzzles. Flood the world with collectibles and more. We hope Yooka-Laylee has some of that at least. In Yooka-Laylee there is said to be a lot of puzzles with variety and platform challenges. The game has a large cast of characters which you will discover and meet in the different worlds including the legendary ‘Shovel knight’ who recently lost to scrooge mcduck in a death battle. There are powerful bosses for the gamers to overcome.

Yooka and Laylee work very well together. Yooka can hold onto Laylee allowing them to hover for a while. Yooka can roll along the ground while Laylee runs on top making them move like a wheel at greater speeds. There are multiple actions these two can perform. Yooka can swim (thank goodness) and defend himself by spinning with his tail. We saw Yooka create an air bubble around the two underwater while Laylee assists with sharp movements.

There is supposed to be alot of things that you can do in this game. There are minecart challenges, quiz shows, multiplayer games and arcade games. This is what we like to see. Developers putting in many things to do like extras. It means gamers will spend time on the game and there will be more options for the different types of gamers. This brings us to the next cool things about the game. You can play co-op with a friend in Yooka-Laylee. This means your brother, sister or friend can in the adventure with you. We at X35 Earthwalker respect games that allow local co-op or multiplayer play.

The environments are large and look great. We have seen a ice mountain like area, floating island like area, a jungle looking area and a place with buildings that look like ancient ruins. Once again variety always scores points. The graphics are wonderful and the sounds are nice. We can see that work went into the game.

Overall Yooka-Laylee looks like a very cool and fun game. It’s multiplayer, got extras like arcade and multiplayer games so there is more to do. The developers ‘Playtonic Games’ did a very good job with this game. We at X35 Earthwalker will definitely want to see more of this game and see what becomes of it. Many will love it we know that for sure but let’s see what happens. Whether something happens or not… it’s all about doing the ‘Earth Walk!’

Bulletstorm: Full clip edition. What’s new?

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

Bulletstorm:Full clip edition is the remastered version of Bulletstorm which came out in 2011. Full clip edition was developed by ‘People Can Fly’, the ones who worked on gears of war Judgment. It’s coming out April the 7th for Xbox One, PC and PS4.

We believe the fans of bulletstorm are excited for this one but is full clip edition a remaster worth getting? The main difference about this game is the improvements to the sounds and graphics. The game is said to have increased polygon counts, smoother frame rates, sterling audio and hi-res textures all running in up to 4K resolution. To the average person that doesn’t mean anything but to gamers that’s a sweet thing to know about this game. From what we have seen, the graphics are definitely improved and the whole flow of the game is smooth and flows nicely.

In terms of what is actually new there isn’t much to be honest. Full clip does include all the previously released add-ons for Bulletstorm. There is a new campaign mode called ‘Overkill campaign’ where you get to play a “cranked-up version of the campaign with an unrestricted arsenal of weapons and Skillshots”. What else? Well there are 6 new echo maps for echo mode. What else? There are some new challenges for gamers to take on. That’s pretty much it. The big boost to graphics is all good but we aren’t sure that this is worth the huge price. They could have done a whole lot more.

The biggest surprise about full clip is that if you preorder you get the Duke Nukem’s Bulletstorm Tour content free, which allows you to play through the whole campaign as Duke with a fully rerecorded script and brand new lines with dukes original voice. Now that’s the coolest thing for this game but the main issue is that you can only get it through pre-ordering, which means the full price. Why couldn’t it just be included with the full clip edition? 

With all this stuff included we can say that fans of the game will like full clip edition for sure, mainly because of the heavily improved graphics and sounds that it has and most likely also to play as Duke Nukem; however we at X35 Earthwalker feel that it isn’t enough and we ourselves wouldn’t get full clip edition. What is it with developers and companies that either just want to save money or don’t know how to make a great deal. There is much more they could do with this game. Throw in some goodies and some big new stuff. We understand that there is a budget but you only make cash from the gamers so give them something big if available.

Overall bulletstorm: full clip edition is nice great, truly. It looks excellent and the sounds are a higher level. Playing as Duke is very good indeed but other from the little ‘new’ stuff, we don’t get much. The developers ‘People Can Fly’ have done a good job with the game. This may be worth checking out.

NeuroVoider. The party soon starts.

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

NeuroVoider is a new stick shooter RPG game developed by ‘Flying Oak Games’ which is already out for PC but coming out on Xbox One and PS4 on the 17th of March. The story of the game is simple. The game is set in the future where robots have wiped out humanity and you play a brain that’s had enough of what’s going on and wants to do something about it about those robots that do nothing but party all the time. So you take control of robot parts and go to destroy them all and their leader the master NeuroVoider. 

This straight away looks like another simple shooter game where it’s just grab a controller, blow stuff up and have some fun. It’s good to have games like this from time to time. Games that don’t require too much and any can give it a go. The rooms, content and items are all randomly generated so there should be higher replay value and makes each play of the game quite different. A random generated always seem to have permadeath as well. Which is what this game has, so some care must be taken when advancing through the levels and robots. 

There are numerous robot parts for you to find, collect and scavenge. The amount in this game allows for a lot of weird to cool combinations. Some parts have insect like legs while others hover above the ground. For a simple game, a lot of work has gone into as there is said to be 8736 unique enemies to combat. That’s a big number. Many they each are a mix of the different robot parts available. Maybe that’s how many different parts there are, we don’t think so but it’s a possibility. There are multiple weapons to use. Some fire what looks like small bars of energy while another weapon fires electricity. You can boost yourself to dogde enemies and incoming fire too. You can have more than one weapon at a time from what we have seen. There is said to be gigantic bosses to take on like the v2.0 rampager who has multiple sections to it and fires from different angles. We don’t know much about other bosses though.

The graphics are nice for the style of the game and the sounds are also nice but the music is much better. One of things the developers seem point out is the sound track, which is said to be amazing. It was made by ‘Dan Terminus’. From what we have seen and heard from others gamers, many seem to like this game already. After all it does look fun with it’s many explosions especially with the fact that this games allows 4 player co-op. Just imagine four brains with their weapons blowing things up, looks like real chaos. We always respect games that have local co-op. It reminds us of moments when you would just play with people right next to you. The developers, ‘Flying Oak Games’ did a nice job with this game. Overall it is good and this should appeal to multiple gamers. Let’s see what happens with this game in time. Regardless of what happens… always remember to do the ‘Earth Walk’!

Brawlout. Fighting it’s way to us.

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

Brawlout is a competitive platform fighter game developed by, ‘Angry Mob Games’, coming early 2017 for the Xbox One, PC and PS4. Let’s admit it. What’s the first thing that comes to your head when you look at this game for a few moments? Super smash bros brawl. Off course! What else could it be. Now that’s definitely not a bad thing as that was a excellent game. Meaning this game has a great foundation to build there game on.

Games like this are competitive. So it’s the same rules. You have to knock your opponents out of the arena. So you must fight your opponents and beat them up, raising their damage percentage number. The higher the number, the further you can knock them away. We are sure there must be items to use and extra modes like stock, health and more. Well there should be, especially if this game wants to make a name for its self knowing which game it is like. From what we can see, there are currently 8 characters to choose from. Each is said to be very different in their move-set and combat style. For example Paco the frog is all about using his tongue to draw enemies in to grapple and give them a close range beat down. Chief feathers looks like he is more of an aerial fighter, having wings and all. Olaf Tyson uses ice based attacks. We saw him create ice pillars and shoots a projectile that freezes enemies. We bet there is a projectile ranged fighter and an armoured heavy fighter as well. Who knows?

You have special attacks and normal attacks. Using special attacks consume your rage meter but when the meter is full your character is stronger. This just adds a layer of strategy to the game in terms of timing and opportunities. You must decide when to use a special attack not spam too much as then your character is weaker. Nice idea we believe. Also there are other attacks that you have to ‘grow’ out. Basically you can unlock new attacks for each character as you play. We aren’t sure whether they are unlocked through meeting certain conditions like perform 30 combos on your enemies or whether it’s just from a level up system like experience points.

The real competitive stuff seems to come in the online tournaments that players can join to take on others. If the developers play their cards right and get many gamers attention. This game could be played professionally. We can literally see this game being played in real tournaments. Well smash bros did and this game is made in 2017 so we assume this game would be better in most ways, then why not. Apparently there is a story campaign. In the world of Brawlout wars and conflict is constant. The character you pick is the representative of it’s race A figure known as ‘The Hood’ approaches you and there may be a way to stop all wars.

The animations and graphics of the game are excellent. It all flows so well indeed. The sound effects go well with the action. This game looks extremely good right now. We at X35 Earthwalker really like the look of this game. The developers, ‘Angry Mob Games’ did a excellent job with this game. We truly want to see how well it is received by the gaming community. This game is definitely worth checking out.

Sublevel Zero Redux. Newer and better.

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

Sublevel Zero Redux is a new 1st person rogue like shooter game, developed by ‘Sigtrap Games’, which came out in 2015 for PC but will be released on Xbox One and Play station 4 on the 8th of March. Sublevel Zero Redux is the improved and updated version of Sublevel Zero. Sublevel Zero Redux was also made for console but all those who were on PC will take part in the update so no one is being left out.

In this game you control a gunship pilot who collects and builds alien technology. He doesn’t have a team and is all alone in this. It’s set in a future where humans has been scattered across the universe by something called ‘The Event’. You explore through rooms of an abandoned research base to find out what happened. We aren’t sure why or if there is more to the story so we assume it’s simple. There are This game is like Spelunky only in the sense that the rooms you explore are random generated. So you can’t really know what’s coming up next… all the more to be prepared with your hands on the trigger. 

What’s cool about Sublevel Zero Redux game is the fact that it is also a 6 degrees of freedom shooter meaning you can freely rotate and fly in any direction you want. Your enemies are also meaning they can attack you from any angle or direction they want. This is one of those things that make this game a bit of a challenge. The enemies are simple but have different attack styles. For example some will rush towards you, while others will stay back and fire from a distance while some seem to be crazy trigger happy releasing a barrage of rockets. This means that you can recognise and them and adapt quite quickly but there is still some variety. Also watch out for automated turrets and sentries. 

Your gunship was built for combat and starts of with 2 guns and also 2 missile launchers but, as you probably guessed from the looting and crafting side of the game, you can replace them with other weapons. Find new weapons in chests around the map or from enemies you destroy. There are weapons that act like a flamethrower, another that shoots electricity while another bounces the shots around corners like the scatter shot from Halo 5 Guardians. There are also better hulls and engines out there for you to find and equip to make surviving much easier. You can use nanites, which you collect, to combine weapons together to create new ones. Now there are 6 stages in this game. The first level is the basement. In order to get to the next level, you must first locate a reactor and then destroy it which will cause a portal to open up. Use this to get to the next level.

The toughest thing about Sublevel Zero Redux is the fact that there is permadeath. You get no lives and you get no saves. Just like Spelunky, it’s about how far you can go with your one life. If you do die, then all we can say is, “Start again”. When you combine 6 degrees of freedom, random generated rooms and permadeath you have a difficult game. Games like this need a map. Thank goodness Sublevel Zero Redux has one. We love the look of the map. It’s a nice looking map that provides basic but useful information. Make sure to check this frequently to know where you are and where you have left to explore. Lastly this game is Oculus rift supported so why not put yourself into the game and see how well you can survive. 

From what we have seen of the game it looks flows nicely and looks like fun. The graphics are good for the style of the game. The environments have quite a bit of variation which is always nice. The sounds sound basic but nice. This game is said to have 8-bit inspired music for you to jam to while blasting away your enemies.

Overall this game is alright to us. Not what we would call amazing or great but we can see where the fun comes in meaning that some gamers will really enjoy this. The graphics could have been much better but we don’t know the developers situation. This game may be worth checking out for some but the developers, ‘Sigtrap Games’ worked hard to bring this game back into action.
