So, Lelouch, Char, Amuro and Ryoma enter in a spaceship… Sometime ago I did write blog post about SD Gundam G Generations Crossrays , where I talked about as a sign of “things to come”, since until that moment, this kind of game from Bandai Namco, often did not get a full western release, specially for PC (Steam) Also, after that game release (17 November 2019) we also would get Super Robot War...

This will be a short post, mostly some early impressions of the demos which I have played. In each of the subtitle, there will be a link to the Steam page. Strategos This one is curious, you might give an initial look and think it is a Total War style game, and it is… sort… kind… is more likely a real time version of something like Fields of Glory. Let me explain: Now, while I knew for a while...

One thing which caught me by surprise during the SGF was the announcement of sequel to Code Vein, one of my favorite games. Anyway, what is Code Vein ? Well, it was a sort take on the Dark Souls genre, set in a post apocalyptic world, which was devastated by an event called “The Great Collapse”. Where Revenants, basically, humans with vampiric powers bought back to life thanks to the Bor Parasi...

Well, given the good news about GB, I decided to give up on the idea of trying to find somewhere to post the stuff which I have written, and continue here. The Hundred Line – Last Defense Academy Easily my GOTY , Danganronpa and Zero Escape are some of my favorite games and having both Kazutaka Kodaka and Kotaro Uchikoshi together (plus other people) is really cool. Talking about the game is a...

With Amplitude Studios announcing Endless Legend 2 and Civilization 7 around the corner, I decided to write a couple of stuff about some 4X games which I played and also about the origins of the 4X as a genre, which is what we will start. From there, then I will talk about those two game and a bit more. To be clear, while I am curious about Civilization 7, for 4X, my main interest lies in the F...

Maybe it was a sign of things to come , because at first, SD Gundam G Generations Cross Rays was announced for Asia only, with a SEA version with English support, cut to some time later and here it is on the west and in Steam too. A bit more time later and Super Robot Wars 30 would get a worldwide release, which was an even bigger surprise. And who knows, maybe my hopes for Idolmaster Starlit S...

835 hours… After all that time, I feel that finally my patience coming to an end, I guess I have to thank Elden Ring to help break the spell… not that the spell itself was running smooth, oh no, it was not, the cracks were all over the place. However, a couple of days ago I did one last push in the part which I was stuck… I managed to get past it, but only because there was a way to skip the qu...

Like I said in the GOTY list, there was a change for me maybe to write a more extended version of that list, and here it is, in fact more that an extended cut, I decided to add a particular omission, which will be the first entry here: Dwarf Fortress While writing the first 2021 GOTY list, I end forgetting a rather small game, which I forget to put, there, because, 2021, was the year which at l...

Previously on Granado Espada... When I start to write about Granado Espada, I did it like "to put a ghost to rest” , but now I find myself with almost 500 hours, mostly of them not really playing, because of the AFK mode, and almost no real sense of closure but just only with strange feelings of missing some vital piece of the puzzle. That said, but just a few days, a new patch was announced (...

Update: Remember that I said that the next part might depend on if I get stuck or not… Guess what happened… while in on one hand I have made some progress, even going beyond what I was able to do in previous attempts. I also find myself stuck, making only small steps of progress and hitting walls. This had an effect where I start to write this, make a bit of progress and need to rewrite and so...

Updates: A couple of days after I did write the first blog entry about GE, at least I managed to complete the game first story arc. This mean that the last new player restrictions, which blocked trade and access to the Market Manager (aka Auction House) are lifted. This also mean that I got further that when I played in T3Fun server, which I was stuck in a much earlier part. Now I am on the mai...

After I wrote the Might and Magic X blog post I was thinking in maybe writing something else, but I was unsure of what. I thought in maybe how about some thoughts on the Sword Art Online Alicization Lycoris? Which is quickly turning in my GOTY, but I need to play it more was I might need more time to reflect on some stuff, while I also wait to see how patchs and expansions will push the game. S...

For a while I have been thinking in trying to write something, but feeling not very confident at all and was unsure of what. In the end I decided to write about a franchise, the Might and Magic crpg series, which I have a small amount of confidence. In fact, I often imagined writing about it several times, but never made to paper, despite have replayed almost all the games, even taking screensh...

I did write a list of my 2018 GOTYs, but I wish to expand it a bit more: Best Surprise: Sword Art Online Fatal Bullet I did write a review for this game on this site, but to try to expand a bit more. This was a very good surprise for me, when I saw the first articles and previews about it, it got my attention, but I was not expecting much. However, once I played I loved the game a lot, so much...

Well, since I finished writing a review for Stranger of Sword City (https://www.giantbomb.com/stranger-of-sword-city/3030-42558/user-reviews/2200-30816/) I might well write some hints, while the game still fresh in my mind. Keep in mind, this as just stuff I either figured about, maybe read here and there, but mostly stuff which worked for me, might no be the most awesome or effective hints. So...

This days while looking at some old files in one drive, I did found out that back up of thread I created in a old forum (which was closed down long time ago, but allowed users to back up stuff) about the Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning MMO. The thing most people more likely remember of this mmo was the Public Quests, which other mmos have adopted. In the Empire Capital. It was fun readying t...

Ishar II - Messengers of Doom ( 1993) Note: I decided to bring the second part here too, sorry if the way the images looks isn't very good. The second game does take the whole thing to a new level, its a much improved version with superior graphics that tries a lot of new things and that also misstep a lot more, but still, it's a huge leap. You now take the role of Zubaran, which recieve a visi...

This text was originally published in my medium (https://medium.com/@Armoderic) but since I decided to maybe trying to be more active here too, why not bring this too? Note: I am still getting used to blog and post here, sorry for any mistakes. Ishar I: The Legend of the Fortress (1992) A couple of few weeks ago I created a profile on Medium, my plan was just to write about a few games, somethi...
