Thumper review

I've been meaning to do a review on this game like 3 months ago, I dont understand why I never did. But Thumper has to be one of the BEST rhythm based games to date! Thumper is truly classified as a rhythm-violence game that truly lives up to it's name. Your a space beetle who is trying to to overcome the hellish void and fight a maniacal head from the future. The game is EXTREMELY hard and does require a lot of focus and skill. When you first start the game off, you'll start off with a boss battle. And yes, the boss is a triangle spinning around. Now the very and probably the best thing about this game that you notice is the AMAZING sound design and effects. Every sound in this game is the reason why I haven't been able to stop playing it. Everything that you touch from the glowing rectangles, making a sharp turn or even flying sounds perfect. Now the controls for the game is very simple. You only use three buttons (Reviewing PC version): The space bar allows you to "thump" the glowing rectangles. You also use the up button to fly and the left and right button to turn. Pretty simple right? Well no no nooo. Each level they make it a bit more unique. When you click the space bar it'll allow you to thump the rectangles. If you HOLD it, it'll allow you to break bars that can harm you if you don't destroy them. And to turn, you gotta hold the space bar and the direction that you want to turn. This game get complicated real fast, as each level gets faster and faster each time. And thats pretty much all they tell you. Each level has sub-levels and you must complete all to beat the level. And for each sub-level that you complete, you get a score either C, B, A or S. If your trying to get a S, you must not miss or get hit ONCE or VERY little. Now something that game does't tell you is how to make your score higher. When you make a turn, you can just turn EASY. But, if you want a higher score, you'll need to perfect the turn which means turning at the RIGHT time, not too early and not to late. You'll definitely hear the difference when making a perfect or normal turn as the perfect turn sounds like your striking metal. To perfect the ENTIRE level, you must perfect every turn and hit EVERYTHING correctly. There is a leaderboard so many people are always competing to get the highest scores.

Lets talk about the gameplay now. Each level like I said has Sub-levels. The first 4 levels haves 3 boss battles including the final boss and every other level has 2 bosses including the final one. The bosses in the game are extremely cool to fight and some will really either seem beautiful to see or will freak you out (The 7th boss battle freaked to living shit outta me) When you start a level, you'll notice it has a pattern and after a boss battle it gets alot harder. From the first level to the 5th, you'll be shown something new that really changes the gameplay for the game. The biggest and hardest add-ons are probably the multiple lines and the RING OF DEATH. The multiple lines are when you'll have to move left and right to avoid missing any rectangles and bars and the ring of death will appear to harm or kill you if miss ANY rectangle. I do think though that it brings a good, but hard challenge to players. The gameplay is something that you'll enjoy if you really enjoy hard games and a good sounding game which I will talk about more below.

The last thing to cover is the game design. Looking at this game is visually amazing and beautiful at the same time. The game has a dim lit color scheme to it that make it seems that your in space and the indoor parts look trippy. The level 3 and level 8 boss probably have the trippiest looking designs in my opinion though. The game can visually mess you up, which is why I say you must be VERY focused.

Thumper in general is just perfect from rhythm game point of view, from the great visual design and effects and the AMAZING sound design and soundtrack, once you start playing, you'll be hooked for MONTHS (Me lol). I would rate this game a 9/10. It would be a perfect if the game wasn't EXTREMELY HARD, but It's why I love it!

Thank's for reading my review on Thumper! My next review will be on either For Honor or Resident Evil 7 (Working on both ATM).

Dan the man game review (Mobile)

Dan the man is probably one of the BEST side platformer game out there! The game has A LOT to offer with lots of hours of gameplay! Let's start with the story mode. The story mode for the game only has 12 levels that are filled with many secret locations, collectibles and small puzzles. Each level in the story has either 4 or 5 secret areas to discover and an certain amount of enemies to kill and an certain amount objects to smash. The story mode took me about 1.8 hours to beat the entire story mode WITHOUT finding all of the secret areas. If your trying to get a perfect run for every level, it will take you about 2 or 3 to beat. It is a pretty short story though, but the storyline is very entertaining and funny and there isn't any real dialogue only grunting noises. And they just added a new Christmas story mode that I have not had a chance to play yet, but I might review it as well at one point. Next is the Battle mode, which is like a arcade. There are 3 difficultly's (Easy, Normal and Hard) and once you pick one, your thrown into a endless wave of arenas and enemies that gets harder each time. It is very fun to play, but you might get bored of it after awhile. Next is the characters. There are 4 total characters to play as:  Dan, Josie, Barry and your custom character. You do have to upgrade each character separately, but the weapons will stay upgraded with every character. Most characters do the same thing except Barry who has a shotgun and machine gun jet pack. Tthere are 6 weapons total. There are two projectile weapons, 2 auto rifle weapons and 2 rpg's.  They are very useful in the game if your being surrounded or if your fighting one of the many bosses in the game (Great bosses btw). The only BIG problem about the game is upgrading all characters and weapons. It will take you a VERY long time to upgrade all characters since you really only get about 500-1200 coins per level and upgrades start at 250 and most end at 5000, so expect to grind a lot in the story for coins and in the arena. At the end of the day, this game really does a lot to make you want to play even longer and with the amount of things to do and find, you'll be playing this for a while. My rating for Dan the man is a 8/10. I would highly recommend you to get the game, but expect to replay levels a lot and grinding will be a must unless you spend real money to get coins. Thanks for reading! Check out my other reviews on this blog and expect more coming soon.

The 3 universes (Games and comics)

It has taken a lot of time to create the lore and story for all of the current upcoming comics and games I plan to release in the future, but it is finally done!! I have have created 3 universes: The Novianverse, Wolfverse and the Novaverse. Now you're probably thinking: What are these 3 universes? Why 3? Well let me explain each universe:

1. Wolfverse: This universe is only events taken place in the Solar System (Orion's Arm). It’s called the Wolfverse since The Wolf-Pack starts this universe. Pretty much if it ONLY takes place on Earth it’ll be in this universe. This is the smallest universe though since not a lot of stuff happens on Earth. RPG Money 1 and The Vanity is part of this universe as well.

2. Novaverse: The same with the Wolfverse, only events taken place in the Solar System (Draco Novan) will be in this universe. It’s called the Novaverse since Planet Nova (Biggest planet known to mankind) is located there. This is the 2nd largest universe since many of the characters end up living in Planet Nova. The new world and Overtaken is part of this universe as well.

3. Novianverse: This universe is for events taken place in both The Wolf and Novaverse! If it’s affecting both universes it will be part of the Novianverse. This is the largest and most important universe. MANY comics and games will be added to this such as Story of Default and The Adventures of Spaceboy.

RPG Money 1 and Nova Vice (Upcoming game and comic) will be part of the Novianverse as the events in the comic book will affect the game and no one in the game will ever know! I am still working on the timeline (Almost done) so I’ll discuss that another time.

Sonic 25th Anniversary game reviews: Project Sonic and Sonic Mania

If you did not know, they released 2 NEW SONIC GAMES: Sonic Mania and Project Sonic. Let us first talk about Project Sonic. First off, Project Sonic is NOT a sequel to Sonic Generations! This is a new story with new levels and everything. The first thing that you might notice is 2 huge egg robots destroying a city....the city in my opinion looks like Soleanna. This is all some theories and all, but it might look like there trying to surround the story around Sonic 06....and if you didn't know, Sonic 06 is considered on the worst games in this generation. It was a VERY promising game that never got finished. But for years I would hope they would TRY to do something about it and it looks here that they might be trying to surround the game around sonic 06. I dont know yet, but we will find out soon. Now, Sonic looks of course bad-ass as always! The running sequence looks very similar to Sonic Generations gameplay and I LOVE SONIC GENERATIONS. And then Classic Sonic shows up and I really don't see why he is in this game. I do hope that you can play as other characters like Tails, Knuckles, Shadow and more. There really wasn't much shown, but the best part of the trailer was the beginning. SONIC TEAM is making this game, so expect a good game! The last sonic game, Sonic Boom really hurt SEGA, so lets hope this game helps Sonic get back up. The trailer is below:

Now on to Sonic Mania. I'm a huge fan of the 2D Sonic games and have been waiting for a new 2D (Not 2.5D) Sonic game...AND THEY DID IT. Sonic Mania looks amazing! You can play remastered old levels and new levels. The new levels have beautiful design and there is alot to look at! And they added a new drop dash mechanic, where you automatically spin dash when you drop to the ground! And you can play as 3 characters: Sonic, TAILS and KNUCKLES. You can finally play as other characters than just sonic. I love Sonic, but doing this will give the game more replay value. I do hope that there is a bit of a story to this game and not just levels put together though. There didn't seem to be anything about a story so, we will see what they do. The trailer for the game is below:

Both games are coming out next year 2017, Sonic Mania in the Spring and Project Sonic in the Winter. I am so ready to start playing sonic again. I beat sonic generations probably almost 100 times. I hope you enjoyed the review and trust me, I will be posting more on these games when new trailers are released! Thanks for reading!!

Overwatch: Is it worth the money?

I'm back! I have been working on practicing game design and haven't had the time to post anything. But I'm posting now because something has got my attention... game review sites has been giving Overwatch SO MUCH PRAISE. it's gotten 9 or 10 out of 10!!! WHY?? This game is at MAX a 7 out to 10. Let me explain why. Lets go over the good things. There are A LOT of characters to choice from! Theres way more then I expected at release. The level design is AMAZING! People complain that the maps have no places to snipe (AKA camp) and I hate games that add ways to just sit and camp. So good job on that. Now let's start on the bad. The game is OVERPRICED. For a game that only has 3 game modes and repetitive gameplay $60 is not worth it for this game. The story behind the game is stupid. And yes, it is a FPS and it really doesn't focus on it, but from all the YouTube videos that they made, it makes no sense why there fighting each other! Its crazy and they should have came up with a better story. Escort mode has to be the WORST game mode in the game. And for the OW fanboys and girls, listen before you rage. I'm taking about if your team has to escort the car. It is HARD AS HELL. All the enemy team has to do is go near it, and it stops! And at times you never get the car HALF WAY!! And what's worse is that when you die, it spawns you back in the spawn hub area, and it takes a while to get back, depending on the map! Another problem is the loot. It is the most useless add on to the game. All you get is new skins and poses, that mean NOTHING! Certain characters in this game are either to weak or to strong. At the beginning of each game, when the other team or your team has to defend the area, people LOVE to camp outside the doors and then KILL ANYTHING that moves out! This game is not a 10 out of 10, it deserves a 6/10. There isn't a lot to do and they still have a lot to fix. These reviews that are giving out perfect 10's are not noticing these problems. And is it wortg $60? NOPE. This game to me should be either $40 or even FREE! There is not a lot of stuff that it should be automatically $60. Not every game needs to be that high. Rachet and Clank was $40 and it had A LOT of content including a story...but that's my opinion. I hope you enjoyed reading!
