Unruly Heroes. Crazy adventure coming soon

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
Unholy Heroes

Unruly Heroes is a new 2D action adventure game developed by ‘Magic Design Studios‘. It’s coming out later this quarter of the year on the Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS4 and PC. This game has quite the story to tell. Let’s take a look.

Let’s start from the very beginning. Unruly Heroes was inspired by a famous Chinese legend which we are sure many have heard of. It’s called ‘A journey to the West’. The Monkey king legend. So straight away there are some expectations in terms of the story, it’s depth, music and messages for the gamers. Already we at X35 Earthwalker are interested. 

The developers claim that Unruly Heroes will be an epic adventure and that it will be an unforgettable experience. We can see this being true. The concept behind the game and inspiration should make that easier to accomplish. There are four characters and straight away the creativity is shown. there is a human who seems to be spiritual based and is surrounded by light, maybe to symbolise a moral or holy nature. The next is a fat pig (KiHong) who appears to laugh a lot, suggesting that he’s the most laid back and relaxed one. The next is a large blue monster but humanoid, having knowledge and uses martial arts. The last is a monkey (WuKong) who has a staff and looks a bit too cool to be a regular staff wielding monkey.

Unruly Heroes

Not much information is given concerning game but we have checked out some gameplay and it reminds us of ‘Rayman Origins‘. The gameplay looks awesome. Dash, run, jump, and off course lots of combat. Their are bosses to defeat and each of the four characters have different fighting styles. KiHong is very agile and relies a lot on strength tactics as well. The monkey is heavily reliant on his weapon which can change size and he can even turn into a bird. The large blue monster is martial arts hand to hand combat heavy with mighty strikes. The human who acts too graceful has  mystical powers and uses light to strike enemies whether in balls of light or worse. So yep it’s quite clear who our favourite character is already.

From what we have already seen Unruly heroes looks awesome. KiHong has some awesome looking aerial moves and serious combos. There is a giant monster who looks like it’s going to become a problem. This game off course supports four player co-op which sounds awesome by the way. There is also a PvP mode which sounds even cooler. Hopefully none of the characters are OP. The bosses seem to have their own characteristics and styles which we certainly appreciate. The graphics and style are excellent indeed. Hand drawn art work and it looks amazing so far. Maybe if we saw more it might make our top 5 list.

Overall Unruly Heroes looks awesome. The concept is there, the graphics are amazing and the music is what we wanted. When you hear it, you think of Chinese legends which is what it should have. The developers ‘Magic Games Studios’ did an awesome job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker are looking forward to Unruly Heroes and what this game has to offer. Now the Unruly Heroes may been skilled fighters but even them combined aren’t a match for… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Raiders of the broken planet. The raids start soon

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

Raiders of the broken planet is a new 4v1 online action adventure game, developed by ‘Mercury Steam’. It’s coming out the 22nd of September for the Xbox One, PS4 and PC. This has gotten quite a lot of attention so far. Let’s see why.

Now Raiders of the broken planet takes place on a far away broken planet. A force of humans are made there way there because of an incredible discovery on one of Saturn’s moons. This might just be their biggest discovery yet. This is at the far reaches of the universe. Apparently there is a source of energy called the ‘Aleph’. This energy somehow grants ultimate power to whoever controls it. That’s scary.

Now gamers can easily guess that since Raiders of the broken planet is 4v1 that makes it clear that players can choose to be on one of two sides. You can either be one of the raiders or of the otherside. So either be the one or be one of the four. It’s up to you. Now this Aleph is some crazy stuff. You can use it increase resistancen speed up self healing and improve aim. That sounds like quite the buff. You have to make sure to collect as much of it as you can from your enemies. Aleph is extremely volatile and if you don’t absorb it quick it will disappear, also destroying ammo in the process. So this calls for rushing in but then that means you may have to get physical with some enemies. 

Like Gears of war there is a lot of cover available and you don’t need button presses or stuff like that to use them. Now stress is bad for you but it gets real bad in Raiders of the broken planet because if you get stressed, your Aleph signature will be revealed to enemies… even through obstacles. If you choose to fight against the raiders then you and the space demon, bosses and enemies fighting alongside you. There is more groups out here than you think. There are the locals, Hades division, Fifth council and the Umbra Wardogs. Each have their own characters who have their own skills, weapons and story. With different groups, different characters and different worlds, there is a lot going on.

Overall Raiders of the lost planet seems really interesting right now. We checked out some gameplay and everything looks smooth and well right now. There is quite a bit of sneaky and stealth action in order to get close range. If you mess up, you can die quite quickly. Graphics look very good. Sounds are very nice as well. This game doesn’t really impress us yet. Off course more information will be released later which could sway our view. This game is cool and you can see that Raiders of the broken planet was a big project and lots of work has gone into it.

Morphite. The rare material is soon here

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

Morphite is a new atmospheric exploration sci-fi shooter game developed by ‘Crescent Moon Games’. Morphite is coming out the 7th of September for Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS4, IOS and PC. Talk about making a game accessible. We at X35 Earthwalker love that.

Morphite did get our attention straight up we can say that this is for gamers who like exploration, space and future like stuff. This game was inspired by some old classic games like Metroid Prime and Ratchet & Clank. So already we have certain expectations of Morphite. Sort of think of this like a more combat focused, deep story, poly style graphic looking no man’s sky but better.

There is a mysterious rare material called ‘Morphite’. Your goal is to unravel this mystery by traveling and exploring the galaxy. On your journey you will need to research animals & plants while taking on hostile entities in combat. Not everything you see is friendly. So with Morphite, players can expect an open-ended player driven discovery and exploration. The developers stated that this game is set to be “a deep and enriching single player experience”. If you haven’t guessed it by now, Morphite is set far in the future where humanity as already populated the distant reaches of space. Count us out. In terms of the story, the official website says, “The player takes on the role of Myrah Kale, a young woman residing on a space station and workshop under the care of her surrogate father, Mr. Mason. What starts as a simple exploratory mission to gather supplies to support their shop rapidly turns into a journey revealing Myrah’s unknown past and her relationship to a rare, coveted, and nearly extinct material called Morphite.”

Now Morphite has quite the amount to offer in terms of gameplay action. After all this game is about exploration. There are many worlds in Morphite and they are all random generated. There are a wide range of things for players to find and check out. You will find many different caves, landscapes, rivers, various creature types; however in space there are space stations to explore but they may not be normal ones as some space stations are abandoned or ruled by alien life. Scanning creatures is important because that information can be sold to upgrade your ships and weapons. Real time space combat. There are random vehicles and weapons that can be found on various planets. Environmental puzzle solving. Fully voiced main storyline. Best of all there are huge bosses to fight and hopefully defeat and much more.

Overall Morphite looks like a lot of fun. It certainly has lots of deep mechanics and features within. The graphics are Poly styled and the sounds are nice. The way the health and ammo floats to you after you kill an hostile entity definitely reminds us of Metroid. The developers ‘Crescent Moon Games’ did an excellent job with this game. It is worth checking out. Now Morphite is rare indeed but not as rare… as the ‘Earth Walk!’

X-Morph: Defense. The defense starts soon

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

X-Morph: Defense is a new top down shooter, tower defense game, developed by EXOR Studios, and coming out 30th of August for Xbox One, PS4 and PC. This game so far looks real cool.

X-Morph: Defense shakes things up with the story. This time players aliens. Players will be invading and taking on Earth. Players are… the X-Morph. The alien species that wants earth’s resources and to terraform the planets surface. Now off course earth isn’t going to roll over and let this happen. They send their units and fight back. Players must get strategic in this fight. Use the build mode to select and place various different alien towers to counter the humans. Blow up buildings to block of paths or create paths. Whatever supports your towers and style. What’s also great is that you can join the fray yourself. Use a cool range of weapons to take them on. It’s up to you how you want to play. X-Morph is said to provide “exceptional planning freedom.”

So how do you complete your objective? Well you must defend the X-Morph harvesters from waves of incoming human forces. Now use the setup phase to carefully decide how you want to set up your defense and take your time because there is no time limit. X-Morph boasts about the ability to allow players to build towers virtually anywhere. So how will you build. Normally X35 Earthwalker himself likes to create long winding paths in games like Defense Grid 2 to make things as hard for the enemies as possible. Use the environment to your advantage. Everything is almost completely destructible. So collapse bridges, buildings and more to shape the field to your advantage like block or paths and make complex mazes.

What’s really cool is how far the humans have advanced in technology. They have created large, massive mechanical units that can destroy the X-Morph. These giant war machines can also be boss fights. These bosses have the power to damage and influence the environment as well. Prepare for awesome battles full of destruction. City sized threats indeed.

What really makes us at X35 Earthwalker very happy is the fact that X-Morph: Defense is split screen co-op. That’s right. You heard us. In co-op, there are more enemies and they come from more direction which honestly is how it should be to make the challenge balanced. There are different gameplay scenarios for co-op so you will have a different experience from when you played single player. So how will you work with your partner? Will both of you attack the enemy head on or will one build while the other attacks. It’s all up to the players.

We have checked out some gameplay and it’s looking real epic right now. The graphics and sounds are excellent. The action is continuous and explosive indeed. The buildings are shattering. The attention to detail is great as well. You can easily see that a lot of work went into this game.

Overall this game is looking awesome. The gaming mechanics are great and add layers to the tower defense aspects of X-Morph: Defense. Like we said, the graphics and sounds are excellent. The environments are designed well. The developers ‘Exor Studios’ have done a magnificent job from what we can see. This game is worth checking out. stealing a planets resources is mean but one thing is never mean, and that’s… The ‘Earth Walk!’

Killing Floor 2. It’s crazier now.

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

Killing floor 2 is a first person shooter game developed by ‘Tripwire Interactive’. It’s coming out 29th of August for the Xbox One but already out on PC and PS4. This is said to be a crazy zombie game.

In Killing floor 2 the action takes place in Europe. Europe has been overrun by hostile murderous clones called ‘Zed’. Zed were created by the corporation Horzine. This Zed outbreak was caused by failed experiments. The outbreak spreaded at an alarming rate and couldn’t be stopped. The Zed have caused more problems than one might think, governments have collapsed, military forces have been destroyed and communication networks have failed. It’s always the communications that fail us. All hope isn’t lost though because a group of civilians mercenaries and soldiers are working together to combat the Zed across Europe. So wherever the Zed are the group of survivors will be their to exterminate them.

There is a wide range of characters in Killing floor 2. There is literally a lot and each of them has their own age, occupation and different likes and dislikes. For example Tom Banner is 32 and likes swords and the middle ages. He is dressed up like a knight so that makes sense. He also dislikes action movies. It’s actually sort of interesting to read through each one and see how much they differ from each other. 

The Zeds are the main stars of Killing Floor 2. There are a lot of them. So much variety and so much danger. The cyst are small weak Zed which comes in hordes and able to latch unto you to slow you down for the others. Alpha Clot are fast, strong and tough humanoid Zed that move quickly to shred players up. Crawlers stay low moving alone the ground and can emerge from places like ventilation shafts and even manholes. They can also leap very far. Stalker does indeed stalk you. It basically has active camouflage from Halo and becomes completely visible when it attacks. If you look carefully you can still see them. Bloats are large bloated creatures that take a lot to stop and put down. They carry meat cleavers and can vomit as well. They are bullet sponges. Siren can scream which does heavy damage at close range and even destroy explosives like grenades. They just make things harder. Fleshpound is a large brutish Zed that charges and attempts to smash players into bits. Their mallets are resistant to must attacks and they use them to shield themselves. There are more Zeds and all are a problem.

There are two game modes that we know of. Survival and VS survival. Survival is where players take on hordes on AI controlled Zed until they either reach the boss or die in the process. Select and choose from a variety of perks, weapons, powers and skills. Choose wisely though as the Zed do not mess around. You will need to use everything you have to handle them. In VS survival it’s players vs players. Some players will be the humans who will fight to survive until they defeat the boos while the other side controls the Zed and do everything in their power to crush the humans and rip them apart. The teams will switch so all players get to try both sides. The best thing about both game modes is the fact that it’s all multiplayer if you haven’t guessed that by now. You can have up to 6 players on one team which is great.

If you have a lot a lot of items, then you can use them for crafting to get better items. So break down your items into materials and get the Master crafted stuff. There are lots of maps for the action to take place on which is expected because the game doesn’t have a story mode. It’s all action and so their needs to be lots of effort into it.

Overall this game looks very cool but doesn’t seem like it is really our style though. It just seems like a normal running around and gunning zombie like creatures. Don’t get us wrong, it’s a very good game but it’s up to the gamers to decide what they think. We at X35 Earthwalker will check it out more and see if our opinion changes. The graphics are good and the sounds are good. The developers ‘Tripwire Interactive’ did a great job with this game. This game might be worth checking out. The Zed outburst may be one of the worst things ever but one of the best things… is the ‘Earth Walk!’

ChromaGun. Colourful puzzle game coming soon.

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

ChromaGun is a first person puzzle game, developed by ‘Pixel Maniacs’. It is coming out the 23rd of August for both Xbox One and PS4 but already out on PC. This came might just be one of the most colourful games ever. You’ll see why.

How things work in ChromaGun is very simple but applying it in the game is where the difficult part comes in. The player is equipped with… the ChromaGun. We are sure you guessed that. The ChromaGun can colourise walls (change colour of the wall) and workerDroids. Well the WorkerDroids are the main problem in the game. Those spikey floaty things. They are attracted to walls of the same colour. They will literally go towards it; because of this you can use WorkerDroids to activate triggers, get rid of electrified floor tiles and even open doors for you. All of this takes place in chambers where you must find the exit doors.

ChromaTec’s test lab is where you will be testing out the military grade colour-technology… the ChromaGun. There is said to be eight chapters to this game and off course things get more complicated and difficult as you advance. Literally, that’s pretty much all that can be said about this game. It’s concept is very simple but challenging and fun. We do need more games like this. Games that anyone is truly capable of playing and doing good at while struggling with a bit of frustration.

We checked out some gameplay and it’s just what we thought it would be; however it does look like it’s more puzzle and thinking than fun. It’s not badly balanced though. Make the blue one go there then bring the other two through the newly opened door, then bring blue through with the others by having on the first two hold the door open etc. 

Overall the game looks fun and off course colourful. The graphics are alright and simple. The sounds are good. The level designs are quite clever. The developers ‘Pixel Maniac’ did a good job with this game. This game might be worth checking out. ChromaGun is very colourful but not as colourful… as the ‘Earth Walk!’
