ACHILLES: LEGENDS UNTOLD - REVIEW @ EXPUTER

by Hiddenx, 17:26

Exputer reviewed Achilles: Legends Untold:


> ACHILLES: LEGENDS UNTOLD REVIEW – A GREEK LEGEND ROUGH AROUND THE EDGES
> 
> Live the legends of a warrior that becomes stranded between the fabric of life
> and death
> 
> The Achilles: Legends Untold is a game based on ancient Greek mythology. It is
> an open-world ARPG that allows you to roam aimlessly around the map, exploring
> dungeons and slaying mythical creatures. Although my experience with the game
> was quite admiring, it has some tedious mechanics and UI features that I hope
> ultimately improve.
> 
> [...]
> 
> Achilles: Legends Untold is a great narrative of Greek mythology, but its
> gameplay dynamics contradict an ARPG’s. If we overlook that it belongs to a
> certain genre, I believe the game stands its ground in being a marvelous
> action game.
> 
> I would not suggest the game to players expecting an offhand ARPG experience.
> But, if you are eager to try out a new perspective of an ARPG, then the game
> will somehow keep you entertained. 
> 
> Apart from its misplaced fundamentals of gameplay mechanics, the game can
> offer a delightful walkthrough to players who wish to pursue the main
> questline. 
> 
> Score: 3.5/5

> 
> About this mod.
> 
> I took 2 years out from the nexus to develop this huge mod based on Jules
> Vernes famous story which has always entranced me. There are distinct

> more.
> There are over 80 locations and I wrote over 100 scripts for it in order that
> it is not just a pure cave trawl.

KING ARTHUR: LEGION IX - MEET THE ROMANS

by Hiddenx, 17:18

Learn more about the Romans of King Arthur: Legion IX:


> MEET THE ROMANS! - PRAETORIUS
> 
> Ave!
> 
> We have finally revealed the release date of our upcoming tactical RPG, King
> Arthur: Legion IX, but we haven't unveiled everything about the game yet.
> Today we will be looking at a character that we did not mention so far,
> probably because he wouldn't want the fame and glory anyway. All he wants to
> do is serve eternally!
> 
> As the tribune of the Ninth Legion, Gaius Julius Mento is an important figure
> in the grand hierarchy of the soldiers under Emperor Sulla. While he is an
> excellent fighter, he was still given an unflinching bodyguard. This bodyguard
> is a loyal Roman soldier, Octavius Remus.
> 
> He is, in fact, a praetorian, an elite guard of military praetors. Despite his
> prowess, he won't try to steal the spotlight, that's just not in his
> character. In fact, he is a very enigmatic person, and undead legionary
> proudly bearing the weight of his role of a defender. He is loyal, as
> evidenced by the fact that he appears beside Gaius when he emerges from the
> Underworlds.
> 
> He wields a massive shield and utilizes skills around the theme of defense,
> such as Wall of Blades and Bulwark, but he is a fairly good melee fighter as
> well, capable of using his shield as a weapon (Shield Bash). When things get
> tough in the magical land of Avalon, you might want to turn towards a more
> defensive tactical approach until the balance shifts - the praetorian will be
> very useful in these moments.
> 
> It would mean a lot to us if you would put King Arthur: Legion IX on your
> wishlist before the release date (May 9th, 2024), and if you own King Arthur:
> Knight's Tale, be on the lookout for a little token of gratitude when this new
> game launches.
> 
> Onwards to Nova Roma!

NWN - DARKNESS OVER DAGGERFORD REVIEW

by Hiddenx, 17:15

The RPG Codex looks back at Neverwinter Nights – Darkness Over Daggerford:


> RPG CODEX REVIEW: NEVERWINTER NIGHTS – DARKNESS OVER DAGGERFORD
> 
> Last month, we published a review of Ossian Studios' Tyrants of the Moonsea
> module for Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition by our resident Neverwinter
> Nights expert Gargaune. I'm happy to report that Gargaune decided to follow
> that up with a review of Ossian's other Enhanced Edition DLC module, the
> Baldur's Gate-ish adventure Neverwinter Nights: Darkness Over Daggerford.
> Unlike Tyrants of the Moonsea, the original free version of Darkness Over
> Daggerford was basically complete when it was released following the
> cancellation of the NWN premium module program back in 2006. Its 2018 Enhanced
> Edition rerelease offered mainly audio/visual improvements and bugfixes, which
> normally wouldn't be significant enough to merit a review. However, since we
> never actually published a review of the original module, it's a fine
> opportunity to finally give it the attention it deserves. Without further ado:
> 
> Per Ossian themselves, their ambition for Darkness over Daggerford was to
> recreate a Baldur’s Gate-like experience, referring to the BioWare title’s
> open-world structure in particular. And to that end, Miranda’s little studio
> delivered a feature that was sorely lacking in the original release and one
> that remains among NWN’s standout post-launch additions – a true and proper
> world map! Indeed, DoD is the most “open world” NWN module I’ve played to date
> and Ossian genuinely succeeded in recapturing that original BG feeling of
> roaming the countryside looking for trouble. After being set loose from
> Daggerford itself, situated in the northern part of the map, you’re free to
> explore a large, semi-contiguous region stretching out to the south, along the
> Trade Way heading to Baldur’s Gate. The world map in DoD isn’t just a nice
> visual flourish on your destination list like in the later TotM, but
> consistently involves discovery – e.g. to reach the Wild Hills for the first
> time, you’ll have to travel in its direction from the Western Farmlands,
> Gillian’s Hill, or the Wild Pastures, but you can’t just hop over from the
> Eastern Farmlands unless you’ve already visited the Wild Hills before. Quest
> destinations will reveal some major locations on the map, while others you’ll
> discover as proximate to your current location.
> 
> [...]
> 
> Bottom line, DoD caters to some RPG fans more than to others. If you're
> looking for a dungeon crawl, this isn't the module for you. If you're in it
> for a grand, sombre plot, it ain't that either. But if you want something to
> recapture that Baldur's Gate-like sense of exploration, of roaming the
> countryside in search of adventure and curiosities, it doesn’t get much better
> than Darkness over Daggerford for NWN or many other contenders. It’s a
> charming and lively open-world adventure, which is equally true for the new EE
> revision with its polished production values (for sale on GOG, Steam, or
> directly from Beamdog) as it is for the old PM release (available at the
> Neverwinter Vault). Either package is well worth checking out if that speaks
> to you, but the EE version will certainly yield the best experience if it’s
> within your budget, and if one good turn deserves another, Ossian absolutely
> did NWN fans a solid back in the day.

BROKEN ROADS - REVIEW @ GAMINGBOLT

by Hiddenx, 16:59

GamingBolt reviewed Broken Roads:


> BROKEN ROADS REVIEW - THE FINAL VERDICT
> 
> 
> 
> 
> 
> 
> 
> Broken Roads is an ambitious debut game by Australian developer Drop Bear
> Bytes. Inspired by classics like Wasteland, Broken Roads feels like a fresh
> take on the genre with how it tackles certain aspects of those games in its
> own way. The best example of this is in the morality system, which is handled
> by a moral compass instead of a linear good-or-evil line.
> The only real let down in Broken Roads is its combat system, which can often
> end up feeling overly simplistic. However, thanks to its unique
> post-apocalyptic Australian setting, the game manages to make exploring its
> broken world quite interesting.

BROKEN ROADS - REVIEW @ TBL

by Hiddenx, 08:18

The Turn Based Lovers reviewed Broken Roads:


> BROKEN ROADS – REVIEW
> 
> Broken Roads has been awaited by fans as a post-apocalyptic CRPG in the vein
> of classic Fallout. Now that it’s here, the game may not be quite as deep as
> players were hoping, but there’s a beauty in its simplicity that makes it a
> memorable experience regardless.
> 
> A POST-APOCALYPTIC OUTBACK
> 
> Broken Roads takes place in Western Australia, some four generations after a
> nuclear war. The devastated world is less Fallout and more The Walking Dead,
> with survivors banding together in tight-knit communities or turning to
> banditry to survive. A feeling of tribalism and distrust pervades the setting
> since resources are scarce due to a fifteen-year drought, and anyone could be
> a spy or a thief.
> 
> At first, the world seems fairly grounded in reality, but some supernatural
> elements slowly start to creep in. A few hours later, characters with strange
> powers are introduced – not necessarily magic, but close enough for that to be
> the best term for it. Learning this power for yourself adds new builds and
> options in combat. There are also mutated animals roaming the Outback, from
> bloodthirsty dingoes to ravenous koalas and kangaroos.
> 
> The Australian setting is always front and center, and Broken Roads is clearly
> made by people who love their country and culture deeply and can poke fun at
> it. There are even tooltips to translate Australian slang for players who
> don’t hail from the Land Down Under.
> 
> [...]
> 
> The tree of possible outcomes isn’t anything revolutionary, and in most cases,
> boils down to whether you want to complete a quest this way or that way, but
> it’s executed well enough that consequences down the line feel organic. That’s
> really in keeping with Broken Roads as a whole; it doesn’t do anything that’s
> really new, but it also doesn’t try to overcomplicate things or reinvent the
> wheel. It’s not the second coming of Fallout 2, but rather a fun,
> contemplative RPG that’s more compelling in the quiet moments than in the
> midst of battle.

BROKEN ROADS - REVIEW

by Hiddenx, 17:22

Capsule Computers reviewed Broken Roads:


> BROKEN ROADS REVIEW
> 
> Overview
> When one thinks of the post-apocalypse, it almost always involves some form of
> nuclear destruction, plague, or even zombie threat as the survivors struggle
> to continue living in a world that wants them dead. Usually these are set in a
> North American city or greater region, sometimes in Europe, but what about a
> place where the wildlife wants to kill its residents even on a normal day? Few
> games take advantage of Australia and the unique aspects the continent
> provides, even less in a post-apocalyptic Australia. So when indie developer
> Drop Bear Bytes worked hard to put out a CRPG called Broken Roads, where
> players have a moral compass, choices to make, and a world to survive in all
> while exploring Western Australia, it seemed like a perfect chance for
> something new. If only the game’s name didn’t end up having a double-meaning
> in the end.
> 
> [...]
> 
> Overall
> As someone from a place with eternal road construction, seeing broken roads
> get patched is a common occurrence and often one that makes for smooth sailing
> after a while, but in the case of Drop Bear Bytes’ Broken Roads, some of these
> issues run deeper than the bug riddled experience, what with its lackluster
> combat, boring companions, and lacking quality of life features. Playing
> through the game the multiple times I needed to to actually see it through, it
> is evident that there is a lot of passion here and the writing does show it.
> The morality compass, the numerous ways things can develop and progress, and
> the unique Australian flavoring seeping from every crack in this broken road
> makes it an interesting game that we hope can get fixed in the future, even if
> some of its issues are far deeper than some patches can fix.
> 
> Score 4/10

BALDUR'S GATE 3 - WON EVERY MAJOR GOTY AWARD

by Hiddenx, 17:09

Kotaku reminds us that Baldur's Gate 3 is well made RPG:


> BALDUR’S GATE 3 BECOMES FIRST GAME TO WIN EVERY MAJOR GOTY AWARD
> 
> Larian’s RPG completes a feat that not even Elden Ring could
> 
> If it seems like Baldur’s Gate 3 can’t stop winning Game of the Year awards,
> you aren’t wrong. Just this week, Larian’s ambitious 2023 Dungeons & Dragons
> RPG took home yet another prize during the video game portion of the British
> Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs). While it is impressive alone to take home a
> single GOTY award, the latest winmarks a momentous first. Baldur’s Gate 3 has
> taken home all five major Game of the Year Awards given out by the industry.
> 
> The winning streak started in November 2023 when Baldur’s Gate 3 won Ultimate
> Game of the Year at the Golden Joystick Awards. The game then won the grand
> prize at The Game Awards in December, the D.I.C.E. Awards in February, and at
> the Game Developer Choice Awards in March. Baldur’s Gate 3’s win at the BAFTAs
> wraps up an astounding awards season in which the game was pitted against
> titles like Alan Wake 2, Tears of the Kingdom, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and
> more. It’s like the Triple Crown of video games but with two more prizes…the
> Quintuple Crown?

by Hiddenx, 17:01

PSLS checked out Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn:


> FLINTLOCK: THE SIEGE OF DAWN DEV TALKS VISUAL DESIGN, PACING, AND SOULSLIKE
> INSPIRATION
> 
> While there are quite a few Soulslike games on the market, the genre is still
> mainly associated with the company that popularized it. However, Flintlock:
> The Siege of Dawn hopes to set itself apart by exploring an underutilized
> subgenre of fantasy fiction. The action RPG draws inspiration from Napoleonic
> France, New Zealand geography, and ancient Mesopotamia.
> 
> Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn’s colorful world sets it apart from other
> Soulslike games
> Their hauntingly beautiful environments as much define games like Dark Souls
> and Elden Ring as their brutal difficulty. However, Flintlock deliberately
> sets itself apart by trading a gloomy atmosphere for something more colorful.
> “The intention was for us to propose something that we think brings the genre
> further, to have something that might look and feel a bit different from the
> usual games in it,” Art Director Marie-Charlotte Derne told The Loadout. “This

available for download:


> THE NECROMANCER'S TALE
> 
> The Necromancer's Tale is a narrative-driven top-down RPG where you play the
> role of a minor noble in the 18th Century, drawn into the Dark Necromantic
> Arts as you seek knowledge and revenge. Great power awaits... along with the
> weird, the morbid, and a gradual descent into madness.
> 
> Before you lies a great spellbook, filled with powerful rites of death and
> reanimation. Can you decipher the pages and master its arcane rituals without
> losing your mind or being strung up by the townsfolk? Your progress will
> require great determination, cunning and secrecy.
> 
> The Necromancer's Tale is a story-rich game, in which you converse with 150+
> NPC characters, each with their own portrait art. You will investigate,
> negotiate, coerce and flatter in order to progress your aims. The game's Trust
> system means that your choices - even in conversation - really matter. If the
> townsfolk's trust drops too low, you will find your choices are affected - if
> it drops further still, you will surely be tried in court and hanged, or
> lynched by a frenzied mob.
> 
> The game involves tactical turn-based combats between you, your allies and
> your undead minions - versus a range of enemies, natural and supernatural. Our
> unique combat system, involving 300+ critical hits, draws on tactical games
> which we have released as far back as 1995.
> 
> The Necromancer's Tale is set in an alternative-history Kingdom near Venice
> and the Adriatic Sea, in 1733. This is a time at the cusp of rational thought
> and superstition; science and magic. The world is dark and dangerous; courtly
> intrigue collides with black magic even as chemistry emerges from alchemy.
