Warlander is an action massive multiple online game developed by ‘Toylogic‘ and published by ‘Plaion‘. Warlander is said to come out the 18th of May 2023 on the Xbox Series X and PS5 but already out on pc. X35 Earthwalker is the universes ultimate strategist so games like this are easy. Warlander is trying to bring exciting gameplay. Let’s take a look.
Warlander is all about war… in the land. something like that. Basically you are in an army and your job is to slay the enemies, raid their stronghold, destroy the core to win the match. There’s at times multiple armies. Maybe even 5. Yeah, think about that. Warlander might be on to something but can they deliver.
So there are different classes: Warrior, Cleric and Mage. These have clear roles and different abilities. Warrior is the main force, strong, tacky, first on the field, hold their own in close and range. Cleric heals, supports and builds walls and siege weapons fast. Mage has killer crows, smoke, fire and lightning. Cause disruption and can be real annoying.
Now of course there’s more going on than just stab and slice in Warlander. There’s siege weapons which the Cleric class builds faster. There’s catapults and defensive measures. There’s even what looks like a mech that’s rolling up and bringing the destruction. There’s what looks like a real war going on and we are here for that.
We checked out some Warlander gameplay and it’s what we expected. Lots of people fighting, explosions happening over there. Long range attacks from up there. Walls erected up front. Siege weapons being rolled in. There’s a number of things happening. Structures are being destroyed and crumbling. We see useful ranged weapons. Hopefully the balance between classes are on point, as tough as it may be.
Overall Warlander looks like a fun game with lots of room for tactics. How balanced is it though? We don’t know. The visuals are looking good for sure. The animations are good and silly. Fitting the style and tone of the game. Warlander is looking like it’s about that action. The developers ‘Toylogic’ have done a very good job so far. X35 Earthwalker might just have to keep one eye open for this game. Now Warlander may have strongholds to raid but none of their tactics won’t work against… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Minecraft Legends is a real time action strategy game developed by ‘Mojang Studios‘ and ‘Blackbird Interactive‘ but published by ‘Xbox Game Studios‘. Minecraft Legends is a big game with lots of ‘room potential’. X35 Earthwalker has already dived into Minecraft Legends. There’s lots to see. So here are X35’s initial thoughts and some gameplay. Let’s take a look.
Minecraft Legends is definitely a completely different thing for Minecraft. Matter of fact on the same day that Minecraft Legends came out we played Minecraft Dungeons. That was an excellent game but very different from what was to come. The opening cutscenes are real clean and truly explain what’s going on. We get introduced to these very important beings known as ‘Knowledge, Foresight and Action’. They basically call you, summon you, somewhat arm you and depend on you to save their world. We have questions definitely. Like does out character know these beings? Why did he so quickly accept to help them? What’s the reward? To list a few.
Now the controls are a big one though. There’s many mechanics and many things you can do and control. You can control and command units under your control, you can build structures, harvest materials, select upgrades (basically), do specific commands concerning the movements and strategy for your units. This is a lot of stuff but it can get deeper like selecting specifically which unit or unit types do your command. We like that this provides lots of room for strategy and offers more controls for players. Now you will need some time to get use to all these controls before you can truly flow. Movement is smooth and makes sense. No issues with movement.
There’s different mounts in Minecraft Legends. X35 Earthwalker found a beetle… Brilliant Beetle. It has the ability to climb any surface basically. So walls don’t matter. So yeah, looking forward to seeing what other mounts there are but we doubt X35 will be changing anytime soon. The progression in Minecraft Legends seem fair and you feel it fast. You need the resources to build new things including structures that will unlock the means to gather new materials like Redstone and iron. You get access to new units very quickly and so your army capabilities grows.
Speaking of units players will start off with a melee and ranged unit. Cobblestone golem and plank golem. Both are useful and have totally different functions but the plank golem is definitely far more effective so far. It definitely looks like the cobblestone golem needs a damage buff for destroying structures. Destroying structures is basically their main function and yet they don’t seem that efficient at it. They need a small power up. More units are on the way. Players can also command other things too. You can command skeletons, creepers and zombies. so recruit them and mix them with your army. They of course have their own attacks. The creatures and beings of the Overworld support you clearly. The fact that there’s fixed times to events add pressure to players. for example you will learn of an attack that the piglins have planned. They WILL attack tonight. You have to be there or that village or location will actually get attacked. So be prepared. The world is quite alive and has action going on. Time matters, especially when it comes to day and night.
Now lots of good things are said but here’s a big negative. Structure building… more like the taking it down part… more specifically the walls. You can place out a whole stretch of walls but a wall is that one square space. So when you are removing a part of the wall, you have to select each individual part and remove it. The option to hold down the button to remove the wall doesn’t appear instantly. You have to stand still by it for a moment. The whole process is slow. Maybe there is a way to highlight and select multiple wall segments for removal but we haven’t been told about it or shown in the game yet. We hope that gets sorted out. Also it doesn’t seem like we can get of the mount. Lame but if that’s the design choice then so be it. Some resources are much harder to find than others. As you be running around for a good while and still not find any. A bit more frequency would be good but we are on a higher difficulty and it does say that resources are less frequent so yeah… there’s that.
The map is very useful and gives the details that matter. We don’t like that the note showing your name is constantly there. It gets in the way and is annoying. There needs to be a way to remove it to make the map experience better. Raiding piglins structures and fighting them does feel good but those pigeons definitely have the advantage right now with their units. We have seen some big strong piglins who even act like artillery but direct though. Currently feeling outclassed but we making it happen though. What’s great its you can build certain structures to aid you in combat against the enemy. You can build stairs that lead up so you can get to the higher ground. Fortnite players will like and understand this. You can build a well house to act as a point of fast travel and a place to respawn too if defeated. So as you can see, players will have to plan and set up before a raid.
Here’s some Minecraft Legends gameplay below. Fun fact: Did you know that X35 Earthwalker found some, let’s say treasure, at the top of some trees. After a bit of parkour, he got it. So yeah, explore and keep your eyes open for goodies.
Overall Minecraft Legends so far is excellent. The developers have done an excellent job. There’s lots to do and get started on. There tons of potential here too. You just know updates and additions are coming to the game to enhance the world. We do what to see more though. It’s excellent but not where we want it to be and it’s not where it should be. Minecraft Legends is worth playing. We are aware of the competitive move against other players and additional modes but we are here for the campaign. Lastly Minecraft Legends being on Xbox Game Pass makes everything better. We can play this game on the move too. Something PlayStation can’t do. We will leave this here. X35 Earthwalker stands at the top. Now Minecraft Legends may have a hero and real time world but it’s all too slow and small for… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Mia and the Dragon Princess is a live action, interactive action game…/ movie… developed by ‘Wales Interactive‘, ‘Dead Pixel productions’ and ‘good gate media’ but published by ‘Wales Interactive‘ alone. Mia and the Dragon Princess is said to be coming out the 21st of April 2023 on the Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4, Android, iOS and pc. These types of games are rare for sure. X35 Earthwalker likes to see these types of games. Let’s take a look.
Mia and the Dragon Princess is a rare type of game indeed. If we asked you to name other games like this, you’d most likely get stuck. Mia and the Dragon Princess is like The Quarry, Until Dawn etc but it’s real people and actors, hence the live action description. We appreciate the work that goes into games like this. Now Mia and the Dragon Princess is about well… Mia. Good guess. She is a barmaid. Then one day a woman shows up at her work place. She is being chased by violent thugs. Yep… definitely not another Tuesday for Mia. Oh and on top of all that. This mysterious lady can’t speak English. Have fun with that.
So this is a whole movie but basically made into a game. Players will influence what happens. You know the drill. Decided what response the characters have, what to do. Pick between a selection of options or maybe just to. Spare him, or end him. Etc. There’s going to be a lot of action. So expect combat, some elbow strikes, a kick and real combat. So expect this to be an experience and enjoy the show. Things do look somewhat kind of goofy though. Some of the characters do look more comedic.
We checked out some Mia and the Dragon Princess gameplay and it’s what we expected. We can say there’s quite a lot of characters here. Some choices seem to be on a timer so players need to think and decide fast. There are no indicators on how difficult it will be. Since it’s a movie we expect it just be very simple to get through and more of a ride for players. Games like this, there isn’t that much to say but we know exactly what we would be looking out for. You can’t move around a room and control characters off course.
Overall Mia and the Dragon Princess looks like it’s going to be an alright game. Can it be called a game? Well yes as there is some input but to a more minimal level. It’s a movie after all. The plot looks like it’s going to be taken more seriously, instead of just letting it all be about the action. The developers ‘Wales Interactive’ have done a good job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to hear how this game does. Mia and the Dragon Princess may have some live combat action but it’s all too undisciplined for… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Stray Blade is an action role playing game developed by ‘Point Blank Games‘ and published by ‘505 Games‘. Stray Blade is said to be coming out 20th of April 2023 on the Xbox Series X, PS5 and pc. X35 Earthwalker took notice of this game. He will be the judge. Looks like Stray Blade is bringing a big adventure. Let’s take a look.
Stray Blade has a not so simple story with some stuff in mystery but in terms of an action rpg, you know what to expect for sure concerning this story. So here we go. This all taking place in Acrea the lost valley. You died in this place though. Time passes, not stated how much but you also somehow came back to life. What’s the catch? You can’t leave this place now. Yep… you are stuck here.
Now Acrea the Lost Valley can be described as a forgotten place. It’s wild with the greenery and clearly overgrown. If you couldn’t tell by now, there’s some powerful stuff about this place or going on. They’re legends about this place. Players must restore balance to this land. There’s stuff going on in Stray Blade. So be prepared.
We didn’t even talk about the characters in Stray Blade. You play as ‘a rouge adventurer’. Looking like master shifu’s cousin from kung fu panda. Small red panda like animal. Your ally? The Xhinnon wolf… Boji. This dude looking like a menace as you can’t see his face, just darkness. He got real armour. These are the two characters. Your mission is to get out of Acrea.
There is a variety of foes from humanoid wielding weapons to straight up creatures. Some large creatures as well with big swings to take you down. Players will need to get optimal with their attacks, manage their guard, time their dodges in order to defeat these enemies. These battles do look difficult as in you can die quite quickly if you mess up. Acquire skills for you to use in combat, watch your weight as you equip gear, craft what you need to be prepared. There’s definitely quite a bit going on.
We checked out some Stray Blade gameplay and it’s what we expected. It does remind us of Lord of the Fallen. Stray Blade will force players to get good at it. Casual players should be on their guard. There’s even a parry which obviously will give an advantage for the success of the technique. Very colourful game for sure. We do like what we see. Graphics and visuals have had a big step up from 2022 gameplay trailer. Details game has been stepped up.
Overall Stray Blade looks like a good game. We aren’t impressed and have seen enough to pull us in yet. We definitely want to see more. We truly hope Stray Blade takes full advantage of the world they have created. This is a forgotten lost land. It has legends about it and mysteries. There’s greenery everywhere. You can put almost anything in this world and setting. So don’t be average with this. The developers ‘Point Blank games’ have done a good job so far but we need to see more. We at X35 Earthwalker will keep an ear open for this game. Now Stray Blade may have a forgotten land but one thing that can never be forgotten is… the ‘Earth Walk!’
DE-EXIT – Eternal Matters is an action adventure game developed by ‘Sandbloom Studios‘ and published by ‘Handygames‘. DE-EXIT – Eternal Matters is said to be coming out the 14th of April 2023 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4 and pc. X35 Earthwalker has his own view concerning blocks. DE-EXIT – Eternal Matters looking kind of blocky. Let’s take a look.
DE-EXIT – Eternal Matters has a story. Quite simple though. You basically wake up in this mysterious and very different world. Of course everything isn’t fine. There’s something going on and they need a hero to save the day. Maybe, just maybe… you are that hero.
Check out this description of the game “Embark on a surreal afterlife journey to uncover the secrets of the broken and enigmatic Plane of Memory in this atmospheric adventure with hints of stealth. Immerse yourself in a warm voxel world presented with an intense cinematic approach. Dive into a profound, introspective experience, encounter its diverse inhabitants, and become the hero that saves the day!”
A lot of details has gone into this game. They worked to produce ‘realistic vfx’. We hope to see this done well. Motion capture was used for animations as well. This means character movements are going to be realistic and hopefully clean. We hear there’s even ‘complex cinematographic features’. Also take notice of the textures in this game though. DE-EXIT – Eternal Matters may be taking the simple road.
We checked out some DE-EXIT – Eternal Matters gameplay and it’s what we expected. We definitely do like this big mysterious yet very blocky world. There’s a lot to see here. Even though you control a skeleton, this game doesn’t make us respect skeletons. Seems like a weak character for sure. Not impressed. Maybe if it did the dance… we might change our minds. The best thing about DE-EXIT – Eternal Matters is definitely the environments and visuals. We like what we see. The Skeleton runs too slowly too. Meat or not, you need to move faster.
Overall DE-EXIT – Eternal Matters looks like a good game. The puzzles are here and the particle effects here too. Looking good as well. DE-EXIT – Eternal Matters has something but we can see where it is lacking. Definitely a good game though. We just want to see more of the world. The developers ‘Sandbloom studios’ have done a good job with this game. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to keep an ear open for DE-EXIT – Eternal Matters to see what’s happening. Now DE-EXIT – Eternal Matters may have a skeleton and a very blocky world but the blocks are not blocky enough for… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Meet your Maker is an action first person shooter game developed and published by ‘Behaviour Interactive‘. Meet your Maker is said to be coming out the 4th of April 2023 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4 and pc. Meet your Maker looks like it wants the community really involved. X35 Earthwalker is known as the universe’s ultimate strategist. Let’s take a look.
So what’s the story here. Well you are described as “the custodian of the chimera”. You was made to be a last resort to save life on earth. That’s basically it.
Meet your maker is first person where the levels have been designed by players. So expect a huge variety. Some will be simple, some creative and fun while others may be unfair even. Of course you can create your own mazrlike outpost for other players to raid and attempt to conquer. Of course these outposts will most likely be loaded with traps.
Players must “adapt, upgrade and evolve” if you want to be victorious. When building the levels for players, you have to use some brain power. You may just have to try and outsmart players. Out think them. Like a good builder, players have a wide range of options. There’s “a huge array of customisable blocks”. There’s traps off course and even guards. Already you can imagine how to mess up intruding players.
Once your outpost level is complete then share it with the Meet your Maker community. Players will of course attempt to raid your outpost. You get rewards for every player who dies in your domain. Those who live you will have to learn from that and do better. So adjustments are needed.
We checked out some Meet your Masker gameplay and it isn’t exactly what we expected. Before you jump into an outpost for the raiding, make sure you carefully select your loadout. Options concerning melee, defensive skills, ranged, perks and maybe your consumables. Use replay system to see how they died or survived. Raid an outpost with a friend. Teams of twos.
Overall Meet your Maker sets like it’s going to be a great game. Getting players involved in the games is a good move and create features like Halo Infinite’s Forge allows big extensions and more content. The graphics and the animations are looking very good. We are liking the details of the level creation too. The developers ‘Behaviour Interactive’ have done a great job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will keep an eye out for this game. Now Meet your Maker may have numerous player created levels but they are all weak builds compared to the construction builds of… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem is an action role playing game developed and published by ‘Wolcen Studios‘. Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem is said to be coming out the 24th of March 2023 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PS5 and PS4. It was already out on pc but we never even heard of this game while on pc. X35 Earthwalker has the best written gaming content. Wonder what Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem has got. Let’s take a look.
Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem clearly plans to have a big and deep universe. In Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem you play as one of the three “Children of Hemlock”. When you was a child you got rescued by the grand inquisitor known as Heimlock. Through him you grow up and become a member of the Republican army of the Purifiers. They are basically the perfect soldiers and their main objective is to defeat and purge the “supernatural and profane”. So time for you and your adoptive siblings to head out on a journey or should we say mission.
Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem is described as having fast paced combat. So expect that real action. Rush your foes or even dash into them. Swing at them, crush, slice and destroy. Dodge and get out of the way of attacks and danger while using your powers. The powers better be good. Like actually cool and interesting. Games like this tend to have similar abilities to each other and it’s nothing exciting. Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem has the space and universe to bring in some crazy things.
Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem also has a “great variety of weapons”. This is what we want to hear but these weapons need to get the job done and have good balancing. We don’t want the case where some guns are just useless. It’s hard to do but we want a variety of choice that’s actually valid. We explosives, homing, lasers, heat, repulse, drill, force, plasma, light etc. We won’t give away everything. Figure things out for yourself.
We checked out some Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem gameplay and it’s what we expected. Especially from a game of this style. Combat is looking smooth though. The speed and action is there and the animations on movement and attacks are looking very good as well… maybe even excellent. The graphics and visuals are excellent and will look better on Xbox Series X. The details are top level from what we have seen. You will be moving somewhere and see a whole battle going on in the distance or below. That’s some excellent game design right now.
Overall. Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem is looking like an excellent game. There’s lots we like and it could be our thing. They better not mess this up. They can easily have something great here. How they deliver the lore and reveal the Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem universe will matter here. The developers ‘Wolcen Studios’ have done an excellent job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker like to see good work and to see it succeed. Now Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem may have a new deep universe but it’s far too small and shallow for… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Alterity Experience is described as a “closed-door adventure game” developed and published by ‘Onitron studios‘. Alterity Experience is said to be coming out Xbox Series X, Xbox One and PS5 the 16th of February 2023 but it’s off course already out on Nintendo Switch, PS4 and pc. So what? There’s suppose to be an alien experience here. X35 Earthwalker is superior to aliens. Let’s take a look.
Few have asked but yes we do write about some games that’s already out. If it’s coming to next gen consoles then that’s fine. We like to show a variety of games, not just the big ones that big companies act like sheep for rushing to get a post out. There’s many good games or cool games but aren’t big at all.
Alterity Experience is set today in the “cornwell family ranch house, located in Lucy county firefly national park, in the northern state of California.” They really zeroed in haven’t they. Players control a dude named Anton cornwelll. He’s a farmer and rancher. Let’s just say he is about to have a strange and maybe alien experience right at his home. Your job is to survive through it.
What’s going on is that for multiple weeks there have been claims of what’s called ‘luminous phenomena’ in the park at night time. It gets worse. Farmers in the country have been finding some strange fluorescent purple substance spread on their plantations. Of course, the local authorities are useless in this situation. Not only have you spotted this purple crap on your own plantations but also near your home.
There’s not going to be any combat. You aren’t going to pull out a shotgun, like you should, and face this issue. The game explains “Your reactivity and a home automation application are the only weapons you have.” Lame but it’s all we got. Apparently there’s another element involved here. There’s described something, as an object of unknown origin. It’s said that this might be the ‘key’ to your survival here. It’s in your home. Just got to find it.
We checked out some Alterity Experience gameplay and it’s what we expected. It’s very slow paced. It has the standard indie game feel to it. You are roaming around your home, staying vigilant hopefully, ready to counter any luminous phenomena. This includes glowing purple lights at windows and you use the apps home defence systems to close gates, lock down the place etc. There isn’t anything really interesting going on here. It’s very simple and easy to understand. Sadly it’s not our thing at all but it will be someone else’s experience.
Alterity Experience is overall and alright game. There is no problems, sounds are clear and designated for what’s going on. The graphics are good too. We would definitely more going on and we don’t how the end will be satisfying or exciting. The developers ‘Onitron studios’ have done an alright job. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to hear what this game accomplishes on next gen consoles. Now Alterity Experience may have luminous phenomena but it’s too dull for… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Rooftop Renegade is an action platformer game developed and published by ‘Melonhead games‘. Rooftop Renegade is said to be coming out the 17th of February 2023 on the Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4 and pc. X35 Earthwalker has the best written gaming content. Rooftop Renegade looking like some casual fun. Let’s take a look.
Rooftop Renegade has a simple arcade story going on. Basically you are on the run. Evading capture from what looks like a police pursuit squad or whatever. They will even use weapons and their firepower to make escape difficult for you. Players must race through the “futuristic skyscrapers” all with the help of your hoverblades. Simply put they are roller blades but futuristic and you move sort of like shadow the hedgehog.
Rooftop Renegade is more of a casual fun game. If you know about temple run or the subway run game then think of Rooftop Renegade like it but bigger. It’s all about speed and getting a flow going on. There’s multiple paths you can take and you have to decide quickly where you want to go. There’s boost rings like in sonic which zooms you forward. There’s a dash ability for that extra distance or air time. There’s rails for players to grind on and feel the wind in your hair… unless you are bald.
We checked out some Rooftop Renegade gameplay and it’s what we expected. What we didn’t expect is that Rooftop Renegade has a multiplayer mode where your friends or family can try to gun you down and ruin your run. Yes you can race through the world while your friends or family take on the role of the pursuers and give you some trouble. We like the skyscraper locations and seeing the background in the distance. Really shows that you are up in the air.
Overall Rooftop Renegade looks like a good game. Like we said. Arcade–ish style casual fun. Getting the best score you can is like the biggest goal here. There’s also a “seed-based generator mode” so players can get a different experience each time. The visuals are nice and quite colourful. The game is simple and players can get right into it. Hopefully the music is god enough and matches the situation. The developers ‘Melonhead games’ have done a good job. We at X35 Earthwalker have always been the fastest. Now Rooftop Renegade may have speed and a flow but it’s far too slow for… the ‘Earth Walk!’
The Pathless is an action adventure game developed by ‘Giant Squid‘ and published by ‘Annapurna Interactive‘. The Pathless is said to come out February 2nd 2023 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. It’s already out on PS5, PS4 and pc. The Pathless looking like it want to hit hard. X35 Earthwalker know a good game and what’s a special game. Let’s take a look.
The Pathless is about a hunter. This hunter is a master archer. Your mission? To deal with an evil in this mystical land, that affects the whole world. You aren\”t alone as you get an eagle as a companion. Hunter and Eagle in a massive forest to take down evil. Sounds cool. Quick tip: That eagle is important. Be good to it and build a good relationship with it.
Now this game gets action quite right. It’s smooth. An acrobatic character for sure. Dive around, soar through the air, fire shots and stay agile. After all The Pathless takes place in a massive forest. It’s actually very fluid as well. Powerful consoles like the Xbox Series X will have a a good day with this game.
Players will be hunting down corrupted spirits. There are ancient ruins which of course have puzzles. That’s a classic. Temples that haven’t been maintained in a while and even really tall spires. Expect this game too have a nice journey as the ones behind ‘Journey’ and ‘Abzû’ are on the case. Atmosphere should therefore be right.
We checked out some The Pathless gameplay. This game looks clean. Bringing back the light to the land is going to be a challenge for sure. The most standing out thing is the gameplay. The movements, the animations and the agility of the hunter are top tier. Loving it. We know there are big threats out there. Those corrupted spirts are no joke. They might even be the one to hunt you. Defeat them and get that light restored. Boss battles on deck!!!
Overall we checked out some The Pathless gameplay and it’s a bit more than what we expected. That’s rare as well. The Pathless looks like a very good game. Atmosphere is being taken seriously. The partial effects are nice. The graphic style works with this game. We ain’t mad at it. You already know the music is going to be excellent. Orchestrated nicely. The developers ‘Giant Squid’ have done an excellent job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker are glad we discovered this game. Now The ‘Pathless’ may have a beautiful adventure ahead but it’s not enough for…. the ‘Earth Walk!’
