If you don’t already know, Sigil of the Magi is a game that combines turn-based tactical combat with roguelike deckbuilding. There’s no better way to understand the game than to try it out yourselves with the demo on steam.

I plan on updating the demo soon so there’ll be more to come!

The (golden) path not taken – the complexity of choice in Triangle Strategy

The (golden) path not taken – the complexity of choice in Triangle Strategy

By Neil Merrett Triangle Strategy, released on Nintendo Switch in 2022, developed by Square Enix, Artdink After undertaking hours of sometimes difficult decision on how to proceed and be a hero in Triangle Strategy, the player is given the chance of obtaining a ‘good’ ending depending on whether they can follow a so-called ‘golden path’.  However, the pathway to this so-called golden route is…

Today, I finished Small Saga in the same day I bought it.

Upon that completion, I decided to buy the accompanying DLC to chuck a tip at the dev—Darya Noghani—for having crafted such a beautiful, epic, and incredible adventure. It's about eight hours long and it's packed to the brim with incredible characterisation and exciting plot beats that other games struggle to even come close to. The turn-based combat isn't anything special but it's well executed but that's not what you're here for; you're here for the fantastic story.

I'm still amazed that the setting is just the gutters of a regular, non-magical Earth populated by talking rodents who've taken to medieval societies and yet the story accomplishes being a fantastic epic in its own right. The mundane becomes otherworldly, divine and demonic alike, and the presentation is immaculate. I heartily recommend this game to everyone. It's a real treat amongst indie titles.

WRONG! I play Dragon Quest games over and over and over again because I fucking LOVE JRPG combat.

#i didn’t love playing through ffx because i found the actual jrpg mechanics to be pretty shallow #also why i hate ffxiii #and like every post-x ff #i also want to play more dragon quest x than ffxiv BECAUSE dqx has turn-based combat #and not boring mmo combat #action rpgs also tend to be boring #the day mainline dragon quest stops being a turn-based jrpg is the day the genre dies for me

Sad to say I've never played a Rayman game before, I've known about the character for what feels like forever but I've just never thought to actually sit down and play a game. Tho that's definitely changing this weekend when I have free time, I honestly don't know how I've gone this long without playing a game since I love platformers and specifically 3D platformers.

Plus... Rayman's design is just peak character design. I'm a sucker for limbless characters and especially with his look in the Phantom's Show DLC being SO DAMN NICE (he also looks like he hasn't slept in like 10 years in the concept art which is great)

#rayman #i swear if me seeing that silly dlc on my twitter timeline is gonna turn me into a die hard rayman fan... #i really want to play the dlc but i do not own a copy of the base game #and idk if i have the money to spend on a game that i'm prolly only gonna play the dlc for #the urge to buy the dlc and help show support for the franchise even tho i'm not a fan yet #vs the knowledge that i'd be spending like $80 on a game that i do not have that big of interest playing the base game for #the game looks visually great don't get me wrong its just the combat does not look like it'd be up my alley

[imissthembutitwasntadisaster]

And I cannot stress this enough if your video game requires me to run in a straight line when the camera angle is adjustable and 3d I will simply die in combat by accidentally running into the blade of my enemy.

#save me top down sprites from 20 years ago save me story games where the movement is done for me save me turn based combat from a high angle

Arsenic with these tbh... 👀

Having normal thoughts that normal people have

#i think i hauve covid #i need to draw something for this but im about to go to class so it'll unfortunately have to wait....... #ask #biocrafthero #arsenic #for later #now im picturing that as like. his assigned preferred weapon #because i keep talking about knives but as ive said before hes more of a 'blunt violence' typa guy #this would be perfect........ #dont look at me im thinking of mutant and omen yomi hustle . #i main mutant because it looks sick and it has Pounce. i love Pounce. mutant also has visible claws #and my friend specifically sent me omen because they thought 'hey thats a nick-like mod character there' #mutant has claws and omen has acid... i think is so mutant-coded... #close-range combat with claws....... #...sorry this wasnt supposed to turn into a rant about the turn-based fighting game #anyway i think it fits him. very much. #and it would also be very practical for- say- removing one's eye from its socket #mmmmmmm...
