January 25, 2017

Puzzle, Fantasy, Internet, LAN, Multiplayer, Board & Card, Match-3, Singleplayer.

A match-3 logic puzzle game and an adaptation of a board game of the same name. The production was developed by Clangore. The game takes place in the Horribilorum Sorcery Academy, and your task is to brew increasingly complicated potions. To succeed, you have to follow the instructions and choose the right ingredients. When you clear one of them, just like in any other match-3 game, the ones above them fall down, often diametrically changing the whole board. If two components of the same kind touch, they explode. Another obstacle is the limited capacity of the ingredients container. Potion Explosion features a single player mode, in which you play against the AI, and a multiplayer mode, in which you compete with other players. There is also an online ranking to display you accomplishments.

A conversion and a console port of Sublevel Zero, introducing additional content and offering more spectacular visuals. Similarly to its predecessor, Sublevel Zero Redux was developed by Sigtrap Games. The game sees us enter a low-gravity underground site built by an advanced alien civilization. The rooms and corridors are filled with valuable technology – aside from survival, our goal is to salvage as much of it as we can. The game is seen from a first person perspective, with complete freedom to explore the three dimensional locations in a manner similar to what we could experience in the Descent or Forsaken series. Interestingly enough, the game contains a number of features seen in rougelike games: randomly generated levels and permanent death which forces us to begin a new playthrough every time our vessel is destroyed. We are also left with a crafting system that enables us to gather items and resources and then use them to build new weapons, parts, and other useful items.

A combination of a classic platformer with a dynamic shooter. The game was created by Super Mega Team - an independent developer. The player is taken to Gamearth, a planet which fell victim to space invaders who call themselves Nexgen. Rise is the only hope the inhabitants of Gamearth have - he is an 11-year-old boy equipped with a holy artifact - a pistol known as Shine. The gameplay formula in Rise & Shine was based on jumping across platforms, avoiding traps, solving simple puzzles and fighting enemies. The protagonist's weapon undergoes modifications that change the way the pistol works. As a result, the player can use ammunition enriched with electric charge or remotely controlled bullets. The experience comes with a high difficulty level and the player encounters both "cannon fodder" in large numbers and powerful bosses here. All of this is complemented by high-quality 2D visuals characteristic of their cartoonish art style.

Developed by Arcen Games, AI War II is a science-fiction RTS game and a fully-fledged continuation of the studio’s 2009 debut project. AI War II picks up the story 355 years after the events from the previous installment. In the game, a player yet again takes command of the human army that during the past centuries has been preparing for war against the Artificial Intelligence faction. An enemy, who is much more powerful than expected, decides first to deal with other factions, which gives human operatives time to look for weaknesses in the AI’s tactics and defenses. In terms of its gameplay, AI War II builds on the foundation provided by the first installment of the series, and at the same time, it introduces a large number of novelties and improvements. Since the enemy forces are nearly inexhaustible, player’s task is not to annihilate the enemy but to systematically advance to consecutive strategic objectives. Unlike its predecessor, AI War II delivers a fully 3D experience and allows the players to lead to battle not only humans but also the powerful Spire faction, as well as the, missing until recently, Zenith civilization.

Team Kirby Clash Deluxe features microtransactions — to participate in battle, you need Vigor points, which renew automatically over time, but they can also be bought for Gem Apples, the in-game currency sold for real-life money. Gem Apples can also be useful when you want to continue the battle right after losing. The currency can also be earned as you play by participating in Heroic missions or visiting the Bandana Waddle Dee's tree.

Another digital adaptation of the popular board game developed cooperatively by Engine Software and Ubisoft with Nintendo Switch in mind. The gameplay is based on the formula known from the board game original. We move tokens by as many fields as we roll on the dice. While playing, we trade real estates and build houses and hotels that provide us with income since any player has to pay rent if they step into another player’s property. The game takes place on one of three three-dimensional levels such as Classic City, Amusement Park, or Haunted Town. Monopoly for Nintendo Switch offers a wide range of game modes for up to six players. The title utilizes the unique features of Nintento’s console, including HD Rumble, its advanced vibration system.

A game which gives us an opportunity to ride ATVs while participating in insane racing events all over the globe. Developed by Nighthawk Interactive, ATV Renegades offers both competition for the best position on the finish line, and for the highest point score, rewarding the player for performing spectacular tricks. A classic career-like mode - the World Tour, constitutes the core element of the experience, but the game also offers quick races in addition to the aforementioned freestyle contests. It is worth mentioning that the in-game vehicles differ in their statistics and performances; as for the rider, the player can customize their appearance to their liking. What is a big advantage of the game, ATV Renegades offers a local multiplayer opportunity to challenge a second player for a split-screen duel. Unfortunately however, the game's visuals are far from satisfactory and can be considered average-quality at best.

A strategy game featuring dozens of armed conflicts that happened since the beginning of the 20th century. The Operational Art of War IV is a yet another installment in the series comprising turn-based strategy games developed since 1998 and published by Matrix Games. The players get over two hundred scenarios at their disposal, during which they can participate in the First Battle of the Marne, the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, Operation Market Garden, and the Falklands War. Like in the previous installments, the game offers a wide range of tools allowing the player to design his own skirmishes and military campaigns. The battles take place on the maps covered with a hexagonal grid, while the units controlled by the player are represented with icons. In spite of its simplicity, the visuals in The Operational Art of War IV offer a good degree of complexity in terms of the strategical layer, while the available units (including infantry, tanks, airplanes and naval forces) are described with a number of statistics and factors determining their combat efficiency.

Trackmania 2: Lagoon is the fourth Trackmania 2 game, the most popular installment of the series created and developed by the French studio Nadeo. In terms of mechanics, the game uses the same system we know from the previous installments in the series. We race against other drivers on uncommon and crazy race tracks. Though the overall premise of the game did not change, it has a rather different climate, literally. Trackmania 2: Lagoon gives us access to sixty five tropical race tracks that are the revamped version of the archipelago that was available in 2016 Trackmania Turbo. Single player is still the fundamental game mode here, but Lagoon also offers a multiplayer mode with six different game modes available. The game comes with a level editor.

Meganoid is a 2D platform game developed by the independent studio OrangePixel. We play as an armed to the teeth hero who explores the procedurally generated maps of the titular ship. As we play, we will explore many various levels, jump from one platform to another, avoid numerous traps, and face hordes of enemies. We will use many weapons like rocket launcher, plasma rifle, or explosives while eliminating them. There are many useful gadgets at our disposal, like a jet pack or a night vision device. Special cards will allow us to customize some parameters of the game. Given the game's fast pacing and high difficulty level, we will die many times in Meganoid. Combined with old-school, pixelart visuals, Meganoid brings to mind games from the early 1990's.

A free-to-play MMORPG fantasy game featuring micro-transactions. The fantastic setting of Titan Siege combines the elements taken from Norse, Greek, and Egyptian mythologies. The players assume the roles of heroes, who defend humanity from Titan factions waging war against one another. The journey begins with the character creation – the player can choose sex, appearance and combat stats of his protagonist. The gameplay builds on open world exploration, completing quests assigned by NPCs, fighting encountered foes (including huge bosses), and developing the main protagonist’s skills – all this in the typical MMORPG way. During the game, the players also acquire new items, enchanted scrolls, and pieces of armor, which aid their characters in battle. Traveling through the vast locations can be sped up by obtaining a steed. Both pets and friendly players can help us in battles. On the other hand, however, some players can also challenge us to a duel – the winner gets the equipment of the fallen hero.

A complete collection of three games contained in the popular survival horror series Outlast, created by Red Barrels. The collection, entitled Outlast Trinity, includes the first installment, originally released in 2013, together with its official expansion Outlast: Whistleblower as well as its full-fledged sequel Outlast 2 from 2017. The story of the first game (and of the expansion, which, incidentally, is a prequel) is set inside a derelict asylum, which used to be a scene of horrifying medical experiments and dark rituals. In Outlast 2, on the other hand, a search of the protagonist’s wife leads him to a sinister village inhabited by lunatic, aggressive cultists. Both productions offer similar gameplay, putting emphasis on the atmosphere, simple environmental puzzles and stealth mechanics. The common feature off all the games is the night-vision camcorder used for exploration of dark locations.
