HumanitZ – PC Review

HumanitZ is an isometric, open-world zombie survival game. After a couple of years in early access on Steam, developer Yodubzz Studios is venturing into 1.0 release. Pick up the pieces as one of the few remaining humans to build, farm, explore, and survive as long as possible. It is available on Steam now with publishing by indie.io (Coromon, Dark Deity 2). The 1.0 release is live on Friday, sixth of February. How Long Can You Keep Your Humanity in HumanitZ? Zombies and survival games seem to just go hand in hand. The nice thing is that they come in all different flavors. I recall spending a number of days in zombie modes of CoD, and others in the early days of DayZ. I was curious to see how HumanitZ felt in comparison. Especially since that last zombie survival game was just... yeah. So...

Ghost Keeper – PC Early Access Preview

I did not expect to be checking out a true "spiritual" successor to the classic game Ghost Master. Although it is not made by the same team, you are able to see the clear inspiration used for the game. I mainly played Ghost Master on PS2, but always wished for another title. So I am happy to see that Ghost Keeper will be making that happen. It is out in early access now on Steam for £10.99, which is rather cheap! There is also a demo available as well. Things that go bump in the night. Gameplay There is not a main story so far in Ghost Keeper, but the level objectives are the same. Kill or scare, all present mortals with a team of ghosts. Each ghost gets their own unique skills, while also sharing some universal ones. Universal skill they tend to share, are telekineses and breakdown, ...

Rainbow Gate – PC Review

Time to play another mascot horror game. And this time it is called Rainbow Gate. This game was developed and published by 7EVIL Studio. I have not seen anything on this before so I'll be going in blind. It is up for wish listing on Steam right now, for anyone who is into mascot horrors. Horror has such a variety of colours. Gameplay We get a letter from a client who informs us that her brother has gone missing. And she believes that the police aren't looking harder enough, so she pleads for our help. The only information we have to go on is that the brother was last seen near an old toy factory. So we know how this will go. On arrival, the place is not much to look out, but quickly turns to reveal the evil that lurks. As we ended up being knocked out and now have a camcorder strap to...

Dead Format – PC Review

Who said VHS is dead? Clearly not the development team at Katanalevy. Since their, new game Dead Format is very much fresh and new on Steam. You can pick it up for £14.49 right now. What if video did really kill the radio star? Gameplay We play as a nameless guy, whose brother has magically disappeared. On arrival to his flat and looking through his clues to a gift he has left us, we uncover a GHL tape. Unlike a VHS tape, the GHL (otherwise called Ghoul) tape allows us to enter the tapes themselves. And as it always goes, the player begins to search for said brother, and uncover much more. Now, there is combat and healing item that you can find to aid you, and no need to worry as there is a lot scattered around. In addition to typical ammo, the player is able to fin number plates and ...

Death Howl – PC Review

Death Howl invites players into a sorrow-soaked spirit realm where grief becomes both a weapon and a burden. Developed by The Outer Zone and published by 11 bit studios, this indie title blends three genres that have never been combined like this before. It plays like a soulslike with an integrated deck-building system and grid-based combat. You craft combat cards, collect totems, and face corrupted animal spirits as you guide a grieving mother on a desperate journey to challenge death itself and save her son. Enter the Pixelated Underworld I've never been the biggest fan of soulslike games, often preferring the more forgiving variant, soulslite. Death Howl reminds me of one of my favorite games, Blasphemous. Both games have the high difficulty of soulslikes, with a cryptic world to ...

Huntsman – PC Review

Fun fact, I have Arachnophobia, so why am I playing a game called Huntsman, that states it has giant arachnids. Well, because it's a horror game! So thank you to the team Onthehousestudios, for this horrible experience for me to undertake. If you are looking for your next horror game, or simply love spiders. Then Huntsman is available on Steam right now for £10.99. Why can't they just stay small? Gameplay There is little context for the player at the start of what is actually going on in Huntsman. We do know it is our first day, and that we can find notes that filling in more of the blanks. The game focus more on the scares and stealth, rather than running. Which thank god, because running will cause the spiders to react much quicker. The player can expect to navigate large rooms and ...

With publishing assistance from the newly resurrected Acclaim, Inc., you can pick it up only on Steam. If Dead Space and Dead Cells Had a Baby… Anyone breezing over info about Katanaut may also make the same comparison I did to Dead Cells. Both are pixel graphic 2D action roguelites with seemingly similar mechanics. So then, what sets them apart? What makes each worth playing in their own right? Comparisons slightly aside, I dove into Katanaut to find out. Read up on my thoughts below. Gameplay Katanaut is an action roguelite that will challenge your ability to be quick...
