Let’s talk Spells & Secrets (Alchemist Interactive). I’ve done two ‘A Quick Look’ posts about it, the latest one being this one. I have recently beaten the game once, which, like many rogue-lites/likes, is not the end of the game really. There will be spoilers all up in this post, so this is your official *SPOILER… Continue Reading
I have been playing an action rogue-lite indie game called, Secrets & Spells by Alchemist Interactive. I wrote part one of my A Quick Look about it here. At that point, I had cleared the first floor twice and died fairly quickly on the second floor. The only reward you get for beating the first… Continue Reading
I have a ton of games in my Steam backlog. Also called the Steam pile of shame. Every PC gamer has one (and, presumably, console players have their own backlog, too), and it’s often in the several hundreds if not thousands. My M.O. these days is to power through the demos I impulsively download during… Continue Reading
This is the second post about my ideal soulslike. Here is the first post from yesterday in which I managed to list 3 things that I would/would not include. The platforming thing is a big one. In fact, if I were the monarch for the day, I would decree that no non-platforming games could have… Continue Reading
Talking about Stranger in Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin (Team NINJA) in the last several posts as well as about soulslikes in general has made me muse about what would actually be my ideal soulslike. Here’s the last post I wrote about SiP: FFO. I mention it because I am stil playing Killing Chaos (it’s alternate… Continue Reading
I have more to say about Stranger in Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin (Team NINJA), soulslikes in general, and my thoughts about From games in general. We’ll see how much of that I actually get to. I’m guessing probably the first. Then me winding down several other paths before abruptly ending the post. because that’s how… Continue Reading
I have to say that I am still struggling with this game. This game being Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin (Team NINJA). I had said in my previous post that I had unlocked Red Mage and wanted to try it out–along with going to the smithy to dismantle the items I didn’t want. I… Continue Reading
I’ve reached the third real area of Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin (Team NINJA). I am suddenly fed up with it after doing the first chunk of it, and I think I’m done. I have talked in previous posts as to my frustrations with Team NINJA games, and this has the same issues writ… Continue Reading
I’m still playing Stranger of Paradise; Final Fantasy Origin (Team NINJA. Note: That’s how the write their name. Previously, I had been calling them Team Ninja, but have realized they capitalize all of Ninja). I just went up against the second boss, who was much easier than the first and only had one health bar,… Continue Reading
Alright. It’s a bit disingenuous to keep calling this a quick look since I’m on post four, but I’m going to stubbornly sticking to that because I can. It’s also amusing because I have played an hour or so of the game (maybe two), which is not very much playing time in comparison to how… Continue Reading
