I really love this style, I just don't care much for shooting. The guts concept is great though and I've been wanting that in games ever since somebody misexplained Planescape Torment to me in high school. Added to wishlist for when I'm in the mood, but there's something fun about this style that always inspires me want to make stuff.

I've been playing this on my PS5: https://store.steampowered.com/app/729000/Wytchwood/

It's a charming crafting/trading adventure game where you play a witch trying to collect the souls of a bunch of fairy tale assholes. It's like... you need to craft a transformation potion to capture the bear in the forest, so you try to go into his tent to find his most precious keepsake, but then you need an item to distract the guard which takes ingredients from the graveyard and the town, which in turn might require further items to collect. It's fairly short and I'm at 11/12 animal souls. Any longer and it would get too repetitive. . . I'm already groaning a bit at the ingredients I still need to finish. I saved the best for last though because I believe I am about to cook the three little pigs, who had previously fed one of their workers to the regular pigs at their farm after he got too old to work. Clearly made with a lot of love.

It ran OK on my 760M but only after I turned off the post-processing stuff (glows, etc). Unity performance is generally terrible on any non-recent hardware though.

Absolutely wonderful game though! Makes me think it's what might have happened if IREM had made a DOS FPS in 1992 or 1993.

unfortunately the remaster is a bit light on the remastering. Mouse is almost unusable due to acceleration and it was apparently too much effort to remaster the UI so it's stretched on all widescreen resolution and you'd need to use 4:3 if you don't want that. Other stuff like antialiasing has to be forced through drivers. Not really that great for 20€.

The new major expansion Fatesworn kicks off after the events of the main game and offers a new main storyline with more than 6 hours of gameplay alone. Additionally, there is a new environment, various new quests and missions, new Chaos Realm dungeons all over Amalur, a new gameplay mechanic, new weapons and armor, new enemies, and much more. It will raise the level cap to 50, and even features a new soundtrack by famous composer Grant Kirkhope. Fatesworn requires the base game Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning.

This is true, but it works quite well on controller and looks pretty decent.

It's not THAT fun though. The big world is kind of cool although pretty empty in most ways, and there's tons of robots everywhere, and driving the ships is fun, and the impersonation ability is pretty neat. The dialogue and story are kinda meh and the gameplay overall is not exactly stimulating and much too easy.

Still kind of neat if anyone's interested in games of that era.

A Full Summary of Version 1.0
New Game Mode & Difficulty Option
Brand-New Sandbox Mode

In this new game mode, you are free to explore the great desert at your own pace without engaging in set plot choices except that you still need to face the inevitable challenge of the Ifrit Ghoul invasion.



Three Different Difficulty Levels Available

- Normal
: Recommended for newbies. With such difficulty setting, you could enjoy the main story and exploration more without struggling with your life.

- Hard
: Recommended for experienced travelers. AI factions will be smarter, and travelers will face more challenges, such as higher damage in battles, limited times to dodge roll, etc. And more skills are needed to recruit NPCs.

- Epic
: Recommended for hardcore travelers. AI factions will become extremely difficult to deal with, and they will recruit top-tier soldiers, deploy teams and launch attacks dynamically. You will face great difficulty in the journey.

New Quests
Added five random quests related to travelers' titles and merits. In these quests, NPCs may invite you to join a tribe; or your superiors may assign you to capture specific towns, or ask you to persuade a rival tribe's sultan to surrender; or even incite you to want to overthrow them, etc.

Boss, Monster & Dungeon
- Adjustment on the skills and value of some bosses,and increase the challenge of boss fights with more strategy required.

- Added plenty of new Mobs that will get stronger as the traveler's strength increases.

- Adjustment on the loot rewards of dungeons: We have improved the diversity of equipment loot drops, and increased the drop rate of some senior gears.

Classes, Heroes & Troops
All playable characters’ skills reworked

In past versions, our players often report that the skills of different professions are not distinctive enough.

To make their skills more distinguishable, we have reworked all classes, for example, the new Swordsman is positioned as a master swordsman equipped with a newly-designed set of magnificent swordsmanship. The remade Sultan becomes more like an inventor specializing in technology research, capable of creating unique ancient machinery to arm himself.

Cool-looking monochrome side scrolling roguelite shooter Rogue Invader has a very interesting perspective that I can't really remember seeing in any other game with shooting. Usually a game like this would be top down or 3/4 view at the most, this is almost (but not quite) side view.

quote:

In Rogue Invader, YOU are the invader attacking the alien horde in this genre-flipping roguelite shooter. Game-play resembles 1-Bit black and white old-school games, with modern touches and HD graphics.

Twenty years ago, the Zenos began invading terran colonies, leaving a trail of death and tears in their wake. Terrans fought back, one planet at a time, while building a fleet to stab at the Zeno home-world.

You arrive with that fleet, just after a series of massive space battles in which all supply ships have been destroyed. You are left with a huge invasion army but no supplies to invade with other than one drop-pod, and one pistol.

Your standing orders are clear: END THIS WAR!
