SpellForce 3. Fantasy wars

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Spellforce 3

Spellforce 3 is a real time strategy role playing game developed by ‘Grimlore games‘ and published by ‘THQ Nordic‘. Spellforce 3 is said to be coming out the 7th of December 2021 on the Xbox Series X and PS5. It’s already out on PC. Games like this need to do a lot to get us interested at all. Let’s take a look.

The world of Spellbreak 3 is set in the year 518 before what’s called “the convocation”. “The rebellion of the four royal houses has been quashed.” So that battle is over but the war off course damaged the country. Also the queen took heavy damage and is currently in a coma. Sounds like bad news all around. So some dude known as the lord marshall is ruling but he’s a rough person or something like that. Players most decide if they will remain loyal to the queen or be rebellious. Remember, we have never played a Spellbreak game. We don’t know about them either.

X35 Earthwalker Spellforce 3

Now Spellforce 3 is definitely one of those fantasy mythological games with spells, wars, clashes, swords and the sort. It’s controlling multiple units at once and targeting what you want, using specific tracks, maybe use something that’s damage over time or knock back type of game. Games like this off course has some big name competitors. So standing out here is going to be a problem. There’s certain things that we need to see.

There’s characters customisation for your hero and off course there’s skill trees. You must raise and build an army to fight big battles. Find companions who’s equipment and skills you can manage and decide. The companions also are said to have an impact on the narrative. That sounds cool for sure. There’s three factions: orcs, elves and humans off course. Choose one of the three factions and lead them to glory. There’s multiplayer as well which a game like this needs. Compete against other players in pvp or do co-operative to fight against forces.

X35 Earthwalker Spellforce 3

We checked out some Spellforce 3 gameplay it’s what we expected. We like those nasty spiders. We like the precise targeting you can do when it comes to picking specific enemies and selecting what attack. Off course games like this gives all the advantages to PC players. The locations are looking good but not enough detail in our opinion concerning the environment, trees, rocks etc. Take into account though that the initial PC release is old while the console release will have improved graphics, visuals and more. Concerning the trailer below, we wanted to use one that had gameplay but they were all age restricted by stupid youtube. They age restrict small figures fighting but some real violent and even sexual stuff is all good in their books. Idiots. 

Overall Spellforce 3 looks like a alright game but not our thing. We haven’t seen anything that brings us in. It obviously has it’s fan base and players who enjoy it and that’s good. The developers ‘Grimlore games’ has done an alright job with this game. We at X35 Earthwalker will just have to hear what happens with Spellforce 3. Now Spellforce 3 might have three factions but those factions are nothing special in the eyes of… the ‘Earth Walk!’

The Riftbreaker. Looks awesome!

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker The Riftbreaker

The Riftbreaker is a new base building survival game developed by ‘EXOR Studios‘ and published by ‘Surefire games‘. The Riftbreaker is said to be coming out the 14th of October 2021 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PS5, PS4 and PC. The Riftbreaker definitely got our attention. Let’s take a look.

The Riftbreaker simply is about an elite scientist/commando inside a powerful and advanced mech suit (they call it mecha-suit). Like Samus Aran, the it’s a woman in the powerful mech suit. She is captain Ashley S. Nowak. The Riftbreaker is all about that survival and base building. So go out there do your research in the field, collect samples and invent new things with survival as your top priority on an alien planet called galatea 37. How did you get there? A one way portal (one way). 

X35 Earthwalker The Riftbreaker

The mission in The Riftbreaker is to create and build a base that has the means to allow travel back to earth. Basically become a two way portal. This off course won’t be easy as galatea 37 (the planet) is alien inhabited and some of these aliens are very hostile and dangerous. As in trying to kill you. Your actions on the planet will of course draw attention. The player must venture out and explore the planet in her mech suit, which she calls ‘Mr Riggs’. Extract resources and even capture certain specimens. Aliens might show up. This mech suit isn’t just samples and research. It’s fully equipped for combat and can handle the toughest and most harsh environmental conditions. 

This isn’t just a base building survival game. There’s also action and role playing  game elements. The mech suit can be equipped with a flamethrower for deep frying aliens. There’s a minigun which off course shreds and trashs all who stands in it’s way. There’s off course energy blades because why not? It’s a futuristic high tech mech suit. It demands energy based weapons. There’s even mortar shells that you can fire at a distance to bring that area of effect damage. There’s even more technology and equipment that the mech suit can get to bring the combat to the enemy. Now off course, there are limits though.  

X35 Earthwalker The Riftbreaker

So lets sum up a bit here concerning The Riftbreaker. You are primarily focusing on base building but you must venture out to do research and gain the knowledge to build a base that allows two way portal transportation while defending yourself from hordes of enemies north outside in the field and back at the base itself. You need to build defence towers, erect walls and place gates to protect and defend and stay alive. Sounds simple. Sounds a bit too simple right now. We hope that changes fast.

We checked out some The Riftbreaker gameplay and it’s what we expected for the most part. We like that the attacks on your base from the horde of enemies get bigger each and every day. Eventually you face thousands. So the sooner you complete your mission, the better. How you build matters. You can get tactical with the base building. You can build with the walls to make a maze to stall the horde and set them up. We like the variety of aliens you can encounter during your expeditions out there but we hope they have variety when it comes to base defence as well. The horde better not just be simple enemies. Variety means more strategic builds are required.

Overall The Riftbreaker looks like a very good game indeed. There’s a lot we like about it. We like the whole concept here with the base building and defence while also being part of the action and getting out there. The game looks very good graphically. The visuals are very good too. So much colours and the environment definitely looks like an alien planet. There’s so much to say but we will leave this here. The developers ‘EXOR Studios’ have done a very good job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker look forward to this game. Now The Riftbreaker may have scientific technology and an advanced mech but those things are too primitive for… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Nexomon. Try to catch them all

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Nexomon

Nexomon is a adventure Role playing game developed by ‘VEWO Interactive‘ and published by ‘PQube‘. Nexomon is said to be coming out the 17th of September 2021 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS5 and PS4. It’s already out on PC though but who cares. We want to shout “gotta catch them all” but we hear few stuff is different. Remember we are writing as someone who doesn’t know anything about Nexomon. Let’s take a look.

Nexomon… no not Pokemon. Okay let’s drop the crap. We are all thinking of Pokemon but guess what? Pokemon doesn’t own the idea of finding creatures, training them, battling and catching them all. Others can do it and we are happy to see this. So we definitely want to see what Nexomon has to offer and how it was different. Sadly we never heard of Nexomon which tells you how weak PC is. So have a good mindset and check Nexomon out.

X35 Earthwalker Nexomon

Here’s a big difference right of the boat. Players get to choose from seven starting Nexomon. More options for gamers. This alone brings some interest. How will they balance the 7 starter Nexomon? Will one clearly be the weakest of the group? We will have to see. Another big difference right here is the story and it’s most likely the biggest difference between Nexomon and pokemon. Nexomon isn’t about just beatng gym leaders and being the best and maybe running into a criminal team like magma, aqua and off course rocket. The world is actually in danger and there’s a Nexomon king. Who is this king? An actual nexomon or just a dude with the strongest nexomon? Players must save the world from this nexomon king. 

Now off course you have the formula of finding Nexomon, catching them, collecting them all, evolving them and off course battling with them. The combat is there. It’s 2D animated style. Each nexomon has some animations. The animations are nothing special but it’s nice to see. Simple but nice. There are 9 elemental types: Mineral, fire, normal, ghost, plant, water, electric and psychic. These off course have advantages and disadvantages over each other. There are characters known as ‘legendary champions’. So these must be the big guys for players to defeat. We hope it’s done in a different style to Pokemon with their gym leaders and elite 4 etc. We hope it isn’t a simple here they are in a set building. Let’s go in there and fight them.

X35 Earthwalker Nexomon

We truly don’t need to say more as you should know what to expect from Nexomon. There’s no way around it. It’s basically pokemon but more emphasis on a story and some slight differences. There are 300 different Nexomons so there’s already a lot to find. We will say that the variety of locations in the world of Nexomon seems nice, nothing amazing or new but nice. There’s big forests off course, there’s snowy areas and even volcanoes. Variety is always a good factor in gaming. Speaking of variety… there is ten different regions for players to explore.

We checked out some Nexomon gameplay and it’s what we expected. We do like how there’s more Nexomon presence and action on the main screen, where you are travelling, running around etc. It makes the world feel more alive. The design of the Nexomon from what we have seen so far is good. We like the variety. Some look silly, some are sort of lame but there’s some that do look quite cool… but we haven’t seen them all. Wwe hope there are some better ones. The co bat has no extra or deeper layers to it. Seems standard to us which means nothing new and cool but very easy to understand and get into.

Overall Nexomon looks like a good game. A good fun game. If it has what pokemon has and more then it should be good indeed. We do hope to see more concerning the Nexomon and the regions and if truly there’s anymore to combat than the standard we are use to. We hope there’s heavy presence of Nexomon in the Nexomon world to make it stand out more and show more life. There’s opportunities here. The developers ‘VEWO Interactive’ have done a very good job with the game. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to see who can catch them all… Nexomon. Now Nexomon may have 300 creatures for us to catch but even that is too easy of a challenge for… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Tails of Iron. Rats fight back

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwaker Tails of Iron

Tails of Iron is a adventure role playing game developed by ‘Odd Bug Studio‘ and published by ‘United Label‘ and ‘CI Games‘. Tails of Iron is said to be coming out the 17th of September 2021 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4 and PC. Rats have had enough. They ready to go to war. Let’s take a look.

Tails of Iron is set in a world where rats and frogs are the people. The frogs and rats have been at odds with each other for a long time. They have warred and killed each other. Players control Redgi who is the heir to the throne. Your kingdom is damaged, broken even and you need to reclaim your kingdom. After king ratus, beat the frog clan before and had peace, the frogs came back, with a bigger army, after king ratus got old and useless on the battlefield. It’s now your turn to be the hero. 

 

The moment you see Tails of Iron you’ll notice the graphic style. It’s hand drawn 2D. This isn’t easy to do. It takes a lot of time and it definitely works here. The style works for this brutal action which is about rats and frogs. The animations for the characters are excellent for this style. It’s smooth, clearly seeable steps and makes the rats look better. Rats are hated for a reason after all.

Now the frog clan in Tails of Iron also has a leader and it’s Greenwart. He is a merciless leader who will kill all the rats and take total control. The frogs are armed with swords, shields, bows and armour. Some frogs are basically bullfrogs as in they are huge. Players will have to time their dodges to avoid powerful and even unblockable attacks. You don’t fight alone. Players can meet different rat characters who can help you out. So gain companions and fight this serious war.

X35 Earthwaker Tails of Iron

We checked out some Tails of Iron gameplay and it’s what we expected. We do like the layers to the combat mechanics. You have the dodge yes, but there’s also a block and a parry as well. This off course means timing, learning and practicing is needed. There’s different weapons you can wield like sword, spear, bows and even a shield. Each has their own attack styles. There are side quests to complete to get extra gold which means more spending. The kingdom is big and has different biomes, 6 to be exact. So off course that means secrets that need to be found. Find blue prints so you can build new weapons. We definitely like the cooking side of Tails of Iron. You can gather ingredients to cook meals that grant buffs like boosting health. That reminds us of Final Fantasy XV.

Overall Tails of Iron looks like it’s going to be a very good game. Now we hate rats but Tails of Iron is looking cool. We are interested in the different types frogs we will have to face. We know the bosses will be huge. That’s just how these types of games roll. The developers ‘Odd Bug Studio’ have done a very good job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker might just keep an eye on this game. Now Tails of Iron may have violent frog and rat wars but they are too small to be off concern too… the ‘Earth Walk!’

King’s Bounty 2. For Nostria?

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker King's Bounty 2

King’s Bounty 2 is a turned based role playing game developed by ‘1C Entertainment‘ and published by ‘Prime Matter‘. King’s Bounty 2 is said to be coming out the 24th of August 2021 on the Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, PS5 and PC. We got a fantasy world with magic, beats and danger. Let’s take a look.

King’s Bounty 2 all takes place in the kingdom of Nostria. Nostria real quick gets a new king. This change of leadership is never really easy but that’s not even the main focus. Nostria has a lot of troubles coming their way. Big dangers actually. Off the such like sabotage which always sucks, conspiracies which makes communication hard and even necromancy which is always bad. All these threats and more are on the way with many mystical enemies and battles.

X35 Earthwalker King's Bounty 2

King’s Bounty 2 is not going easy on the situation with loads of drama. On top of what we have already listed there’s also “kingdoms in disarray, counties demanding independence, bandits prowl the roads, all the overseas nations have denied the King’s authority over them, and blighted creatures lie in wait for the unwary.” So off course Nostria needs a hero. This is where the players come in. Pick one of three main heroes and we hope they are interesting. So off course players need an army. The means recruiting and building that army. This also won’t be easy as betrayal is a factor so keep an eye out on this adventure.   

X35 Earthwalker King's Bounty 2

Our interest off course lies in the beings and creatures of King’s Bounty 2. The enemies and what you can expect to face. We have seem what looks like elemental beings, there’s golems, there’s human enemies, necromancers, beasts looking like big cats, skeletons off course, glowing plasma like big birds, gargoyles or maybe demons. We see a lot of threats and having a variety of enemies and dangers work very well especially in fantasy worlds like King’s Bounty 2. We wonder if they have the creativity to bring something new up in here but let’s see. 

X35 Earthwalker King's Bounty 2

We checked out some King’s Bounty 2 gameplay and it’s what we thought but not as cool. Something we didn’t talk about much is that this is turn based strategy. You have hexagon ground layouts for combat, measuring the field and where units can stand. The combat doesn’t look exciting. We like the visuals and effects on attacks like lightning and fire. It’s definitely magically but we hope the actual combat gets better and more exciting. We like the details that given to us during combat and things are clear and easy to understand. We like the variety of the attacks as well like ice throw from an ice golem, magical blasts from spell casters and even arrows from archers.

Overall King’s Bounty 2 looks lie a good game. Nothing huge but another good game with a adventure for gamers. It’s clear quite a lot of work went into King’s Bounty 2. So far it hasn’t attracted or impressed us yet. We do want to see more though. There’s dialogue and decisions that need to be made. We know there’s consequences for your actions but do they truly matter? Most games fail with this choice to consequence stuff. Let’s see if King’s Bounty 2 fails better. The developers ‘1C Entertainment’ have done a good job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker hope more is done on this game. Now King’s Bounty 2 may have Nostria but that place is too lame for… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker - Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights

Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights is a 2D action Role Playing Game developed by ‘Live Wire, Adglobe‘ but published by ‘Binary Haze Interactive‘. Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights came out the 22nd of June 2021 on the Nintendo Switch and PC but 29th of June 2021 on the Xbox Series X. Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights has quite a lot going on. Let’s take a look.

Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights is all about a girl named Lily. Lily is the last surviving priestess. What happened? Basically it’s the rain. Yes rain. Not normal rain though. This rain is dangerous and can even turn people into the undead. Lily wakes up in a church (Best place to be is church. Facts) but has no knowledge and memory of recent things that took place. So off course your mission is to find the cause of this rain and hopefully stop it.

X35 Earthwalker - Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights

Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights is off course already out so you can literally see the game for yourself so we are keeping it short. It’s more than just the undead. The rain turned all living things into monsters. There’s all kinds of dangers here. They are called the Blighted. Players off course need to explore this entire world. The place is called ‘Land’s End’. Very friendly. There is some variety as there’s a massive castle, a  submerged forest and even an underground cavern that’s apparently contaminated and sealed off. Isn’t that suspicious. It would be a shame if we had to explore that place, oh wait. 

X35 Earthwalker - Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights

We checked out some Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights gameplay and it’s what we expected for the most part. We like that Lily doesn’t actually fight herself. She summons the spirits of the undead who got purified. One has a sword and fights like a warrior, another has a bow shooting projectiles while another is sort of like a mage that shoots fire balls sort of. They do have names like Umbral Knight, Gerrod, the elder warrior, Dark witch Elaine and more. They fight for her. So timing attacks, diving out of the way and using each summoned spirit optimally is essential in this game. 

Overall Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights seems like a really cool game and the combat is different.  We definitely like the art style and the graphics are excellent. The animations are excellent. The animations of 2D games have really stepped up. There’s a lot of details in this game too, including on the enemies. The game looks like it will get real difficult which is a good thing. The developers ‘Livewire and adglobe’ did a very good job here. We at X35 Earthwalker will keep an ear out for Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights. Now Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights may have killer rain but that rain don’t mean a thang when it comes to… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Kitaria Fables. Adventure + Farming?

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Kitaria Fables

Kitaria Fables is an action adventure role playing game with farming elements. It’s developed by ‘Twin Hearts‘ and published by ‘PQube‘. Kitaria Fables isa said to be coming out the 3rd September 2021 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4 and PC. Don’t let Kitaria Fables fool you. This is a serious game. Let’s take a look.

Kitaria Fables is set in the world of Kitaria where animals behave like people. Walking around, talking, got jobs, are soldiers etc. You’re in Paw village where you are… farming. Farming? That doesn’t sound like a hardened tough warrior for an adventure but hey it’s a job. So yes, you do farming, you attend to and grow your crops for money and survival. You also can get ingredients for cooking and meals. There’s crafting elements in Kitaria Fables too. Kitaria Fables is an action adventure game with Role playing games and farming elements. Sounds very interesting. We like it.

X35 Earthwalker Kitaria Fables

Kitaria Fables is a big adventure remember. There’s an actual danger and threat to the world of Kitaria. There’s a growing darkness. The areas around Paw Village are getting “increasingly hostile.” In fact the empire has actually called you to investigate. So clearly we are more than just farmers. You will travel the world and reach various different locations. Expect to come across and dive into forests, mountains, swamps and even deserts. We do like the variety but hope they stand out well. So explore to find and discover new characters who can be friends and of course new gear and weapons. Speaking of weapons.

X35 Earthwalker Kitaria Fables

There are real weapons in Kitaria Fables. Melee weapons like swords are here and we have seen a few designs. Some look cool. There’s projectile weapons too like bows. There are spells too. You can freeze enemies to restrict their movements or maybe take a dangerous enemy out of the equation. Maybe just burn your enemies for that additional damage. We know there’s more spells to acquire and weapons which means more options for combat styles. 

What’s interesting for us at X35 Earthwalker is what kind of enemies does Kitaria Fables have. From what we have seen there’s humanoid or should we say animaloid enemies. Animals that wield weapons like bows and melee. So maybe there’s different armies that you need to watch out for. In the forest area there are shield bugs. This shows the areas have their own unique enemies. We did see a forest golem which was the coolest thing so far. After all magic is in Kitaria Fables so magical or mystical beings like golems makes sense.  

X35 Earthwalker Kitaria Fables

What’s really awesome though is that Kitaria Fables has local co-op! Something more games NEED to HAVE! This means double damage, double attacks and equipping yourselves in such a way as to compliment each other. One can focus on freezing while the other can burn enemies instead. So yeah, grab your friend, or family and… well… water crops together… right? 

We checked some Kitaria Fables gameplay and it’s what we expected. It gives us an animal crossing feeling for sure… but except there’s actual combat, monsters etc. We like that after your big dangerous adventure, you come back to a quiet simple farming. We hope to see more of what Kitaria has to offer. The graphics are good for what it is and what design this game is going for.

Overall Kitaria Fables looks like a very good game. Definitely deceptive at first appearance but it’s a real adventure game. Real weapons, real story, a real enemy/threat and many characters all with your own plots of land to do what you do best… farming. We like the cute but serious design that Kitaria Fables has. The developers ‘Twin Hearts’ have done a very good job with this game. We at X35 Earthwalker look forward to seeing Kitaria Fables come out. Now Kitaria Fables may be cute but that doesn’t fool… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Edge of Eternity. Looking good

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Edge of Eternity game

Edge of Eternity is an action role playing game developed by ‘Midgar Studio‘ and published by ‘Dear Villagers‘ and ‘Maple Whispering‘. Edge of Eternity is said to be coming out the 8th of June 2021 on PC but the fourth quarter of the year 2021 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PS5 and PS4. This game is big and looks good. Let’s take a look.

Edge of Eternity is set in a fantasy world with magic and really advanced technology. The world is called Heryon. Some time ago some aliens show up and bring the pain in abundance. There was a huge “cataclysmic war”. This war required the maximum use of technology and magic. This resulted in immense devastation. The alien invaders at some point released what’s called ‘the corrosion’. This disease turns living things into messed up abominations. The whole situation in Edge of Eternity is messed up. This is where you come in.

X35 Earthwalker Edge of Eternity game

Now Edge of Eternity has a lot of combat here. Thank goodness for that. Combat matters. We have seen animals, infected animals, ships, elemental like beings and mechanical foes. Some of these threats are large, some enemies look really cool. The combat off course is turn based. The battlefield is separated into hexagon grids. This allows for clear positioning and measurement. Turn based strategy games are unique in how much players need to apply thinking power. We aren’t sure how deep the combat goes, in Edge of Eternity, concerning the system and mechanics. We know there’s magic, direct attacks and off course abilities but that’s too vague. We need to know more.

X35 Earthwalker Edge of Eternity game

Here’s some quick information about Edge of Eternity. Yasunori Mitsuda who did music concerning Chrono trigger and Xenoblade Chronicles, worked on the soundtrack for Edge of Eternity. There’s a crafting system. There’s suppose to be some highly emotional twists and moments. There’s 5 human companions to unlock. There’s over 120+ cartable items. There are dungeons. After all what action role playing game doesn’t have a dungeon of some sort. Maybe best of all is the fact that you can have a giant furry friendly friend. Basically some big cat looking creature called a Nekaroo who helps you out by giving you a ride. This thing might win the hearts of a number of players.

X35 Earthwalker Edge of Eternity game

We checked out some Edge of Eternity gameplay and it’s what we mostly thought it would be. You travel the world freely, even riding a Nekaroo to explore the whole area. There’s enemies out there but we’ve got flashy powerful attacks to finish them off. There’s chests to find and open to get new weapons and items. There’s a progression system and crystals that need to be used for upgrading characters. The music makes itself known for sure. It’s presence can’t be ignored. There’s more to see and we are interested. 

Overall, Edge of eternity looks awesome. We are liking the music, liking the combat so far (still need more information), like the flashy moves, special effects and definitely the graphics and visuals. Just look at the world. It’s big and looks beautiful. You have to take a look. The developers ‘Midgar Studio’ have done an awesome job so far with Edge of Eternity. We at X35 Earthwalker are looking forward to seeing more of Edge of Eternity and what it has to offer. Now Edge of Eternity may look fancy and epic but it looks boring and standard when compared to… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Scarlet Nexus. Psionic powers

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

Scarlet Nexus is a new action role playing game developed and published by ‘Bandai Namco‘. Scarlet Nexus is said to be coming out 25th of June 2021on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PS5, PS4 and PC. Scarlet Nexus sounds interesting and looks fictional fictional alright. Let’s take a look. 

Scarlet Nexus is a strange game for sure. Scarlet Nexus is set in the distant future. It’s so futuristic that something called a psionic hormone, was discovered in the human brain. This gives people extra sensory powers. Now off course something like that will change the whole world. People having powers and stuff. Most people can’t be trusted with powers for starters but whatever. Soon after all these evil mutants come down from the sky. They are referred too as ‘Others’ and have a serious craving for human brains. We can already see where this is going. 

We betted that even though people have psionic powers now that only the best and strongest stand a chance of combatting and beating these mutants. We were right! Not shocking at all. When are we EVER wrong? Here’s what the official Scarlet Nexus website said “Those with acute extra-sensory abilities, known as psionics, were our only chance to fight the onslaught from above.” So off course the government has been scouting and recruiting good psionics to an organisation called ‘Other Suppression Force’ or OSF. They are humanity’s last hope and chance. First of all that’s a crappy name. Other suppression force sucks and they can do better. Second they better be recruiting everyone with psionic abilities as no ability is truly useless. Don’t just get the best.

Scarlet Nexus has a dual story system going on. You can choose to either be Yuito Sumeragi who is described as “A bright and positive-minded young recruit with a kind heart.” We already like him. Yuito Sumeragi has psychokinesis which is a very powerful ability for sure. He is the second son of the Sumeragi family which is a powerful and wealthy family. His father is currently leading the government while his brother is “serving in command at the OSF”. What a family right? The other character is Kasane Randall. She is the typical mysterious super talented hardened girl who has a soft side that only those she trusts get to see. her abilities are no joke though. She also has psychokinesis and is an elite soldier. She’s described as elite soldier but that doesn’t mean she’s part of the Septentrions. Those are the two main characters but there are many other significant characters you will encounter.

It’s best to play both stories as the stories of both Yuito Sumeragi and Kasane Randall will connect and only then will the full story be revealed in Scarlet nexus. By the way, the people responsible for the story of Scarlet Nexus are the same guys who did ‘Tales of Vesperia’. So you pretty much get what’s going on here by now. It’s simple really. Far distant future, play special characters with great powers, slice and attack dangerous big enemies, and find out what’s going on. The real story. Oh and here’s a bit about psychokinesis. You can move and lift objects but there’s also psychic type abilities too like infusing yourself with your powers to enhance attacks and abilities and in some sources of fiction even create blasts and projectiles. Scarlet Nexus seems to be taking a different turn though. 

We checked out some Scarlet Nexus gameplay and it’s what we expected. You can fight with your melee attacks using your sword while also using your psychokinesis to to throw big objects and slam enemies with stuff like even a car. The Others, those mutants, look so strange and lame. That doesn’t mean they weren’t designed well. Some characters are designed to look boring while others are designed to look cool. These things look lame. If we were in the Scarlet Nexus world, we wouldn’t take them seriously at all. The character designs are nice, not awesome though, but we recognise the style for sure. An good and easy style to work with. The city though looks very good. Basically futuristic Japan. 

Overall Scarlet Nexus looks like it’s going to be a very good game. We aren’t impressed with anything but most things don’t so that’s not a big deal here. We wanted more information concerning the combat and how psychokinesis functions in this game as it’s different across fiction. We do like the action though. The developers ‘Bandai Namco’ have done a good job with this game so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to keep and ear open for Nexus Scarlet. Now Nexus Scarlet may have psychokinetic powers but those we have seen here are a complete joke and ineffective against… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance. Hmmm

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance is a new third person role playing action game developed by ‘Tuque Games‘ and published by ‘Wizards of the Coast‘. Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance is said to be coming out the 22nd of June 2021 on Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PS5, PS4 and PC. Dungeons & Dragons is popular. Let’s take a look.

Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance is off course all about the dungeons and dragons world. It’s here this time as an action rpg. There’s real time combat too. The story isn’t complicated but more typical. Dangerous monsters and creatures causing havoc and destruction. For example there’s invading armies that are evil who are also getting more powerful over time. Frost giants and we know how bad they can get, along with dragons who want revenge are moving around through Iceland Dale. Off course dragons. It’s called dungeons and dragons after all. Can you image a dungeon without any dragons?… boring.

So yeah all players have to do is face off against the forces of darknesses and defeat dangerous powerful creatures that were on the offensive. It’s Dungeon and Dragons but improved and a huge world adventure. There’s four heroes, so pick who you want to be and get out there. That’s simple.

There is co-op as well which is awesome clearly something Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance needs.  It’s four player maximum. So imagine exploring a cold Icewind Dale, facing frost giants, slaying them and getting the loot which include gear. There’s also other fantastic mighty bosses too. Don’t forget about the dragons. 

We checked out some Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance gameplay and it’s what we expected. Take on monsters, legendary beasts, swing your weapons, fire your bows, cast your magic and work together to be victorious and bring home the prize. Exploration matters and the combat looks lively and cool. Combat in some games aren’t done well. We need to see more from Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance but so far from what we see, it looks good but standard. 

Overall Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance is a big role playing game. You get to fight all the famous mythological creatures like frost giants and trolls with your friends, get powerful loot, get stronger and roll together. It’s just straight up dungeons and dragons fun. The graphics look good and the visuals sound alright for now but there’s still more time to go. So we need and want to see more. Ir’s cool but doesn’t stand out. The developers ‘Tuque Games’ have done a nice job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to hear out for Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance. Now Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance may have frost giants and revenge seeking dragons but even those just get slapped aside by… the ‘Earth Walk!’
