David. // Is A Game By Ace Armstrong


You play David, an awfully small abstracted chosen hero tossed into a blissfully simple world overrun by giant culminations of evil physics-beasts. As David, you are given a slingshot-esque gift that you will have to use to conquer your colossus foes. Be there AND be square.

  • Repeatability; This cute little physics launcher has eight starting levels, each with an easy or hard difficulty, which can be played in any order. the game has three "moar" difficult levels already unlocked at the beginning as well. Arena mode is unlocked after completing all eight starter levels on easy, in this mode, the players spend points to gain more health, and bullets and then attempt to endure progressively harder enemies. Each level can be replayed over and over again, and with different outcomes each time. 8/10
  • Cost; David is 2.49 Canadian dollars, and the small price tag stunned me at first, as the game has mountains of content and with great music and fun simplistic graphics. After the initial cost, David has no extra DLCs  or purchasable content. 5/5
  • Predictability; The each of the eight stater levels could not be more different, from giant shelled squares to monstrous polygonal shades, each is complex and cunningly crafted in its own separate way. 5/5
  • Entertainment; The game is crazy fun and can last you upwards of three hours to complete, even more if you get addicted to Arena Mode (You poor thing), and the game can be hilariously insane if you try doing anything other than normal. 8/10
  • Difficulty; This game's levels could be seen as difficult for some an easy for others, the thing is, how well your computer works changes how fast everything moves on the screen. which can suck if your computer is-- too good. 8/10
  • Author Review; I first bought this game on sale, in order to use up my two something dollars  in my Steam wallet. And I'll say, it was marvellous, the graphics were great, along with the music and a highly charismatic square as the protagonist, it is everything I look for in a game. 9/10
Total: 43/50 86% We've all got that leftover change from our last Steam transaction, this is what you use it for. (BONUS: The game is available on the app store too!)

Reaper, Tale Of A Pale Swordsman By Hexage




     This short Game Review Is for the week of April 12th-19th. 
Enter the world ripe with magic and monsters. Become the Black Swordsman and slay thousands of enemies in an epic action RPG! This game allows you to move over a large map, going from A to Point B in order to complete tasks and quests, however, once combat begins the player is transported into a platformer-like battle engine.The game is also available on all mobile platforms.
  • Repeatability: This game can be rather tedious and boring while only looking at the map; because there's only one way to play it. Normally I don't have anything against RPGs, but with such a strict plot the game is little to no fun to play a second time. Players can make small dialogue choices but they rarely change the storyline with magnitude. The only thing players can change while in game is which special abilities or items to purchase, which is great for changing build but doesn't directly change too much in a fight scenario. Luckily, Hexage, the game's developers, have created a massive amount of game content and you need not worry about re-playing. 7/10
  • Cost; Reaper is 5.49 Canadian dollars on The Steam Store, which, for the amount of content in this game, is totally worth it. The mobile version is free, however extra maps and DLCs can be bought in-game. 4/5
  • Predictability: Other than a gut-feeling that you'll get ambushed, the game seems very chaotic and hectic on the first play through. Where you'll fight anything from monstrous boars to huge wasps or spectral apparitions (sometimes all of these at once!). While in combat, mobs are spawning every which way, with only the progress bar showing you any signs of completion. 4/5
  • Entertainment; As I have previously mentioned, this game if brink filled with quests and task, and guess what that means? You guessed it, lots, and lots of fighting. The combat mechanics are a little clunky on both mobile and Steam, but after a short period of gameplay, you can easily adjust to it. 8/10
  • Difficulty; The game is interestingly difficult, certain levels are far too easy, other are extraordinarily hard. Which can force the players to adapt and cope to new environments and challenges each level. 6/10
  • Author Review; I first got a free version of this game with my laptop, yet never bothered to play it. Once i finally did I realized it would be a great topic for an interesting review. So I bought the full game and was personally not disappointed, I myself have never manged to complete the game--it's that hard. But I've played enough to know it's worthy of an eight. 8/10

Total: 37/50 74% If you've got six bucks in your steam wallet, and feel like trying an RPG, I recommend this one.

Changing Up

     Hello all my wonderful readers! I understand some of you may be frustrated with my inability to actually hold down a schedule, and for that I sincerely apologize. In order to compensate for this I've invited a close friend of mine to become a co-author, CraftySquidz!

Now as I now am becoming very busy I must unfortunately change my deadline from Fridays to any day in the weekend (Friday included). I apologize for any inconveniences this may have caused.
