Medieval Dynasty – PS5 Review

Medieval Dynasty is a survival strategy builder by the Polish developers Render Cube. First released on the PC in September 2020, finally arrived on current-gen consoles last year. After a lengthy wait, it has now been released for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The middle ages have never looked so good I am never really sure about the survival RPG genre, I think this is in part to not having enough time to get heavily into them. I love the concept and always plan to spend time, and inevitably restart due to time away. However, everything that I had seen about Medieval Dynasty had me intrigued would this be the game to break that cycle for me? Read on and find out how I got on playing on the PlayStation 5. Gameplay Medieval Dynasty casts you in the role of Racimir, a young man fleeing...

Shardpunk: Verminfall – PC Review

Shardpunk: Verminfall is described by its developer as a "tactical squad-based survival strategy game, based in a steampunk, rat-infested world". Developed by Clockwork Pile and published by Retrovibe Games, Shardpunk: Verminfall is available for PC. It is available now and will set you back £9.99/$11.99 on Steam and will require 3GB of storage. Survival of the Rattest Now, I'll start off the same way the game does, by telling you that Shardpunk: Verminfall is not an easy game. Basically, you're going to die. After that, you'll start the game anew, with new skills and new characters to choose from. Then you'll die again. So on and so forth. I'm sure more competent players will be able to play the game all the way through with fewer restarts than I did. But not many will complete it wi...

Alterity Experience – Xbox Series X Review

In a world where the truth is out there, Onitron Studios brings us Alterity Experience. This is a chance to experience what it will be like in the middle of an alien invasion. Time to find those crop circles and take this title for a spin. Best move the laptop to the basement and fashion myself a tinfoil hat. Alterity Experience - Purple Haze, or Purple Ama(i)ze? Gameplay I start my adventure in Alterity Experience in an office looking at computer screen and a purple corn on the cob. I must admit that it is a pretty strange beginning, but I get the feeling that nothing about my experience is going to be not strange. It turns out that the missus and the kids have gone to watch a film leaving me on my own to investigate the purple glow. After a brief tutorial about how the buttons and ...

Scars Above – PS5 Review

From the Developer's Mad Head Games, Scars Above is a fairly challenging sci-ﬁ third-person action-adventure shooter with an interesting story and very mysterious lore. Mad Head Games also brought us games such as the Nevertales franchise and Rite of Passage. I haven't seen many of the titles they have made before, but it seems to me that they are more of a mobile games developer and this seems to be their first major console-related title. Scars Above, monsters, and science below The game caught my attention because of what it had on offer. It had survival elements, stranded on a planet and a mysterious alien race. What more could you ask for? Did you know about Scars Above before reading this? Are you excited to get stuck in and play it? Let us know in the comments! Gameplay Scars Ab...

Surviving the Aftermath: Shattered Hope – PC Review

Shattered Hope is the latest expansion for Surviving the Aftermath - the first being 'New Alliances'. The Shattered Hope DLC went live on Steam November 3rd 2022, building on the base game which launched October 19th 2019. Since quite a length of time has passed between the base game and the expansion, it makes you wonder what Iceflake Studios have been up to. Well, Shattered Hope brings a ton of new content, modifications and tweaks to the original game. Some of these are based on player feedback - it's refreshing to see a studio that listens to the players. Gameplay Surviving the Aftermath is a colony-sim survival game set in a post-apocalyptic future. Resources are scarce, colonists are valuable and danger is everywhere. The main goal is to create a sustainable settlement, bringing ba...

Land Of The Vikings – PC Review

Developed by Laps Games and published by Iceberg Interactive comes Land of the Vikings. It's a Survival Strategy game, very reminiscent of Banished, another top quality survival strategy game. Land of the Vikings sees you lead your tribe to other inhibited lands trying to make a settlement whilst tackling all sorts of obstacles along the way, such as harsh winters and lack of food. Skál! Check out my video review below! https://youtu.be/cqn82Vu2TJY Final Thoughts When starting out you may have thought Land of the Vikings was a Banished Clone, it's not at all. Yes it shares some resemblances including (and mentioned in the Video) the music, the game itself isn't. It has a really nice UI, some good quick keys to use and easy access to those building tools. I can see...
