Developed and published by DYSTOPIAN, Gnomes stands as a true testament to the value of an all but forgotten genre. Primarily a tower-defese strategy, the game cleverly expands on the previously trending genre with some clever tweaks that elevate the fun-factor substantially. So, if you’re looking for a fresh approach to turn-based strategy, Gnomes is your answer – offering a charming yet complex experience that’s pretty easy to pick up but seldom relents on challenging the player. With a clever amalgamation of roguelike elements and tower-defese mechanics, the aim of the game in Gnomes is to protect your crops from waves of pesky goblins while expanding your base as you push further into the game. With procedurally generated maps, endless replayability, and plenty of strategic…
From the creative minds at Kylyk Games and published by Assemble Entertainment, Urban Jungle is a brand new green-fingered simulation game that bathes the player in a wholesome light and draws on idyllic charm to create a real feel-good title, perfect to celebrate the dawning of Spring. Turn Your Small Apartment into a Natural Retreat As the title would suggest, Urban Jungle is a game in which you transform small, urban apartments into indoor Gardens of Eden. Working with such small homes, however, means the player will need to utilize their space to ensure their plants will flourish and bloom in all their flowery glory. With a green-thumbed protagonist at the helm, you wouldn’t be blamed for assuming your line of business would include watering…
Developed by Battlecruiser Games and published by Hero Craft PC, Guards II Chaos in Hell is a turn-based adventure title that takes the player on a journey into the deepest pits of Hell itself. Not being the greatest of fans of turn-based games (other than the classic Xbox 360 title, Might & Magic: Gems of War, of course), Guards II never held much appeal to me at first sight. With that being said, I did hold an instant appreciation for the bright, retro-esque graphical style and the era of high fantasy in which the game takes place. Attracted to the bright graphical style like the proverbial moth to light and drawn in by the world of magic where “there be dragons”, I decided to take…
Developed by Gentlymad Studios and published in a collaboration between Assemble Entertainment and Whisper Games, Endzone: A World Apart is a post-apocalyptic city-builder game set against the backdrop of a radiation riddled planet. With the news of a sequel on the horizon, I thought it the perfect time to share my thoughts surrounding this widely loved title. In a Post-Apocalyptic World There was Little Hope – Until Now It was 2021 when an economic disaster plunged the planet into chaos and disorder. A lucky few were able to escape to the safety of an underground facility, where they have since built a community of there very own. Some 150 years later, it’s time for man to emerge from the safe embrace of the facility and…
While Games Incubator have been responsible for some decent titles, Police Shootout sadly isn’t one of these. Don’t get me wrong; on paper the game looks to pack a punch with an interesting premise with some equally interesting mechanics. However, actually delving into the game and stepping through that thin veneer of an interesting concept unveils an array of minor irritations that together ruin the overall experience. Yes, Police Shootout does have its saving graces but all in all, the bad sadly outweigh the good. Police Shootout – Gameplay With its lazy title, “Police Shootout” isn’t even a wholly accurate title and, if anything, they have sold themselves short here. Yes, a lot of the game is centered around both the police and, indeed, shootouts,…
