Battle Planet – Be a Savior in VR – PAX EAST 2017

Virtual Reality and their games have only just begun to make their foundation in the overall larger worlds of games. Some VR games are attempting to bring ambitious experiences, such as Resident Evil 7 and Ace Combat 7. But, keeping it simple is never a bad thing, and that is what the team at Germany-based THREAKS Studios is doing with the release of Battle Planet for Android devices, and the Google DayDream, Google’s answer to Virtual Reality.

Carnage Heart put players in control of a robot in fuel wars set in the Solar System. Armored Core let players customized their own unit for large-scale robotic destruction on an unimaginable scale. Among them, was a very special strategy RPG series, known as Front Mission. Front Mission put players against the backdrop of a realistic war, mirroring the massive

Death Squared-That Might Be An Understatement

Death Squared by SMG Studio has done nothing but affirm the belief my mother always had that maybe I should have gone to school for psychiatry or something of the like. When doing interviews with developers, my favorite question is always to ask about the inspiration behind the creation of the game. I like to know what makes people tick, what makes them think in a certain way, and the inspiration between Death Squared was one of the sweetest and most awe-inspiring that I have

Super Cloudbuilt – The Sky Isn’t The Limit Anymore – PAX East 2017

One of the first pleasures of Pax East 2017 was meeting with the developers of Super Cloudbuillt. The game has a very sci-fi like feel to it and was originally released as Cloudbuilt, but has been totally remastered by the Developing Studio, Coilworks and published by Studio Double Eleven. I can’t say as I ever played the original Cloudbuilt, but I was highly impressed with the new Super Cloudbuilt, and I’m sure the developer that was kind enough to guide me through what I pl

Tooth And Tail – PAX EAST 2017: Woodland Creatures Bring All-Out War

This generation, with the exception of a few games, Real-time Strategy has taken a sort of backseat. Rogue-likes, arcade action, and shooters have taken the center stage among the big line up of games. However, when an RTS does come into the spotlight, it is truly something special. Taking to this spotlight is a very distinctive game, with a profound presentation and solid gameplay mechanics. This is Tooth and Tail by developer Pocket Watch Games. Tooth and Tail was playable

Fantasy Strike – Brings A Fight Games For Casual Fighters And Experts – PAX South

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fENgvKRqMKA Fighting games are a classic genre, but they can be tricky, and often challenging genre for newcomers to delve into. What begins with the simplicity of defeating your opponent in hand-to-hand combat soon ramps up in intensity and difficulty, as players need to learn classes of fighters, as well as the statistics of certain attacks. Of course, this is further compounded by the importance of learning combos, which can mean the differe
