Review #57 – Free Video Game

[it's_possible], well... at least it's supposed to be.

[it's_possible] is one of the most difficult and frustrating games I've ever encountered. It does not have a “story”, strictly speaking. It's just your character against sadistic traps dying over and over again.

I mean, I know I said something similar about ViViD a few weeks ago, but there's really no comparison. There's a good reason the title of this game needs to remind you “it's possible” everytime you open it.

So, if you are in a masochistic mood or think regular gaming is “too easy”, check this out. I will crawl under rock over here until seeing a keyboard doesn't make me cry.

Verge, Afterlife's Crossroads

Review #56 – Free Video Game

Verge, Afterlife's Crossroads

From the same creator of Depict1, Verge is a beautifully designed platformer with a cardinal law: Death is not the End. You take control of a lost soul, and must navigate between two worlds to get to your final resting place. It's not the first game with a “Dual Map” feature but it does add a twist. In order to get to the Flipworld, you have to die on the Overworld.

The game does include puzzle elements, mainly figuring out where to kill yourself on the Overworld to access certain parts of the Flipworld, but nothing too fancy. It's mostly a good old fashioned platformer.

Great graphics, awesome music, and a decent, if short, challenge. Highly recommended.

StrikeForce Kitty!

StrikeForce Kitty!

Fresh Blood for the Deadly Felines

So, here I am again, presenting this short and fun game about deadly kittens trying to rescue their princess.

StrikeForce Kitty (brought by the Deqaf Studio) is an imaginative game in which you can control your little balls of fur with the WASD keys and dress them up as serial killers, or warrior princesses if you want to.  It’s very important that you don’t forget to give them their fresh fish!

Okay, let’s get into the important info: the princess has been kidnapped by foxes, and we are the most powerful strike force our kingdom has, so we have to go on the quest to rescue her. As we get into the enemy land we have to defeat our foes, which are oddly recognizable, not because they are foxes (duh), but because they are dressed up as Lara Croft, V, and even Gandalf, AND that’s where the game gets super fun. Once the fox is dead you get one of the items of his armor. Those can be the weapon, the hat, or anything else. And one of your four pretty mittens can wear it. Each item improves something like stamina, or damage, and each complete outfit grants you an ability, like:

- Freddy heals 1 point of all the kitties every three seconds.

-Xena, has 30% chance of double shot.

Obviously, every kitty has its bad thing, and these kitties get really tired if they don’t drink milk, or eat their fish to level up. That’s what the stamina bar is for. When the bar reaches zero your kitties are too tired to go on! So you have to rest and try it again next time :(

Like all games that involve the “when you ran out of stamina or whatever you have to start again” you can get tired really fast, and don’t reach the second part of the game. Thankfully, the outfit idea really refreshes the trip because you (or at least I did) get eager to find what character you’re gonna fight next. Plus the Kitties are really cute, and the graphics are adorable.

So, get on the duty! There is a nice kitty princess to save! Meow! ;D

ViViD, Prepare your Mind

Review #54 – Free Game

ViViD, Prepare your Mind

ViViD is an action platformer game. It includes: high precision jumping, flashing colors, and a restless screen. Don't play while operating heavy machinery or while pregnant.

Ok, now seriously. In ViViD you take control of Burt, a subject on a drug trial. After the first dosage things start to get a little... weird. The game combines pretty strict jumping with a vast selection of visual obstacles: moving screens, bouts of static, upside down view, and many more. It can get really frustrating, but it's not that hard, and certainly not impossible.

This game is obviously not designed for young audiences, and it includes an epileptic warning, so be careful. Other than that, don't play if you get mad easily. It gets very tough from time to time, and laptops may be thrown across the room.

Dungeon Squad, Dungeon Delving from d4 to d12

Review #53 – Free Pen and Paper RPG

Dungeon Squad, Dungeon Delving from d4 to d12

July of Adventure is making an appearance in August!

Dungeon Squad is a simple RPG with a Tri-Class System. You have three “skills” that are Wizard, Warrior and Explorer. Each one covers a broad area of expertise and abilities, and every character can attempt a roll with any one. Some will be more successful than others. In this regard, characters in this game are more “rogue-like” than usual ones. Sword in one hand, and magical scroll on the other.

But what really caught my eye about Dungeon Squad is how it uses a whole set of dice. Your roles use the d4, d8 and d12, while your starting items use the remaining d6 and d10. In my group we found it easier to keep each die on our character sheet, over either the role or item it belonged to. That's actually what the game had in mind, as it's developed trying to appeal to both young and not-so young players.

A problem we encountered, though, was that there are no rules for social rolls. Dungeon Squad is for a... well dungeon environment, so you will fight, find treasure and escape traps. If your group, like mine, likes to talk (or rather, lie. We are not perfect, ok?) to NPCs, here are two ways to handle it: no roll, your talk is as good as you actually talk; or, use Explorer, as you are maneuvering over “social hazards” with quick wit.

So here you have Dungeon Squad. Characters take, like, 30 seconds to make, and the action is fast with easy rules. Definitely great for a quick pick up game, especially using the equipment sets to prepare the characters inventory.
