Monster loves you

How it feels to be monster? Born from a goo, make your own decisions and grow up in to bigger one who will scare away human and tend the animals. Or perhaps you wanna be little monster who hides and use intelligent to solve problems. You decide since it is time to live life of a monter!

The story begins

First choices has been done.

The consequences follows decisions you made.

Time to born from a goo!

Monter loves you is an indie game what is based to little text adventures. You do not have to move and explore with your monster, you just decide from offeren options the ones what fits best to you creature. So very nice little game what is fast to play through. When I played my first adventure it only took a little more than hour. I clicked the adventures, read the texts and made decisions. And then my monster got attributes like bravery or kindness. Or I lost some point from them if I chose wrongly.. so finding balance isn't always easy among the monsters.

Options how to deal every adventure.

Some of the adventure take you out of the monster village.

Played through for the first time.

The game is nicely made and simple. I was also worried if it is fun to play thourgh only once. When I started my second round, it was good to notice that some of teh adventures were changed and I had some other options to  pick than what I had on the first round. If it wouldn't have been like this it would be boring to play it through unless I waited long time between games. So good thinking from the makers.

New life is born and time to have adventures.

You can pick adventures you want from the offered ones.

Eventually little ones grows to adult ones.

And best of the adults will become elders!

Monster loves you is lovely minigame but isn't anything what will make your head whirl and you're totally fascinated about it. When I am tired to play longer games I stick on shorter ones and this game is perfect to that. Just enjoy the little adventures and quests and try to make your monster popular among others. That seems way harder than maximize some of the attributes. But if you like indie games which are easy to start to play, you could try this one out. To those who desires more complicated games, I can't recommend this one.

Shoppe Keep, part 1

Life has been so hectic that I have spend more time with small games what are easy to play and do not demand a lot of hours. One of these games has been Shoppe Keep what early access indie game. There you're merchant who keeps shop for adventurers. You sell health and mana potions and of course arrow, shields, hats, etc. Everything what you can need when adventuring.

When you order stuff, they will be delivered into chest

swiping dust away from health potions

You begin game by buying few things to sell and adding some tables to your shop so that visitors can see what you're selling. Sounds easy and it is so. Just think right price to products that they will be bought and you still get some money to buy more. First days go slowly when money comes slowly form cheap products but patience is what you need. Each day lasts 3 times 5 minutes.. so there is morning, daytime and evening. It isn't difficult to guess which is the busiest time in the shop.

Customers arrives

Slowly shop gets bigger

you can buy sellings from the list

After every day you can fix your store. Buy more shelves and racks for supplies and clean the place. It is also good thing to repair existing tables so they won't break all of sudden. Keeping shop is simple, you just have to remember to pay taxes also and watch out the thief. There is also backrooms where is magical cauldron and huge machine where you can drop sellings. These are still something what I am testing so I will teel more about them in the other posting from this game.

He won't steal again

So far this game has been nice one. It is simple enough but still there  is progress what to do better in the store. So perfect game to play after a long day at work when you're too tired to play rolegames.

Wasteland 2, first impression

It seems my October was overbooked since I hadn't much time to play nor write about the games. I also didn't know what to plat after Child of Light since that game was so cute and I hadn't have anything similar.. I tried few games like playing some Guildwars 2, Dishonored and eventually Wasteland 2. All the game were different to each other but that last one hit the jackpot this time. I got the game as a gift from my brother and decided to give it a try.

The beginning was so cool. I realise that I am desert ranger in Arizona. If it would had been in Texas probably I would had been less enthusiastic. But Arizona! I have been there myself and seen the desert so it was easy to imagine the atmosphere of the game when travelled there. So cool.

Loading screen looked nice.

The game looks nice.

You can use premade characters or make your own heroes. You're part of the team Echo and when travelling in the desert all kind skills. I decided to make my own jack of all trades girl Sonja who wasn't good on many things except on fighting. She knows how to find things, search the areas and talk to animals. But when the battle comes she needs her friends who will take care of the enemies and also keeps group all healed up.

For new player game is advicing things if they want that.

There are several small areas and then worldmap what combines everything.

World map seems rather empty at first.

Arizona is rough place to live after nuclear holocaust. Some of the areas are dangerous to walk because of teh radiation, there are attacking groups and if you run out with water, you will be dead in the desert. Such a lovely place. My first mission was to solve mystery of the Ace, one of the rangers. He had found as dead one and our group were supposed to finish his work. Now we were like wannabe ass-kickers but solving mystery of the Ace would grant us to be a real rangers. How cool.

You can move whole team together or one by one.

Dry and devastated lands won't give much hope.

You can watch your travelling on the map.

First hours with Wasteland 2 has been rather entertaining ones. At first I was a bit suspicious if I would like this game but I have realised that plot is good one. You have to do choices and those have always consequences. I also like the fighting system where I have time to think strategy because it is based on turns. So for now.. I have positive feeling about this game and will post more when I have played it further. 

Child of Light part 2

The story has continue and what a story it is! At the same time it is touching, at time I would like to cry a bit but still it is full of hope. So good, so very good! I know that this game isn't open world where you can do all kind of things but at times it is so nice to follow good straighforward story and solve puzzles during it.

First you begin with few skills.

Every time you get level, you can get one new skill.

And all the skills are well explained.

On higher levels you have more options.

At first I was confused with the levelling system but after few levels I realised how it works. Every party member has three skill trees what leads to different kind of skills.  Everytime you reach a level you can pick one of the skills so improving one of the skill pathes. Every skill os explained and at times they give you more health when other times you gain new battle skills or improve the old ones. Simple and effective system. The longer I used it, I started to like it more.

Always getting some when gaining level.

All the party member gains exp even they are not fighting.

Oculis are usefull in many ways.

You can add oculis either to weapone or armor.

You also got more HP and defense and attack bonuses automatically when you levelled up which was informed after gaining levels. And of course you had to fight to gain levels.. playing story further didn't grant you more than good knowledge. Another interesting detail in Child of Light are oculis. You can craft them, combine them to creat even better ones and having new colours.. and each colour and each different kind of oculi has different skill. And it even depended if you added oculi to your armor or weapon. So.. That way all the characters can be even more unique. And that makes it more fascinating.

These small puzzles were cute add to a game.

Every scene is so detailed and well made. Piece of art!

The atmosphere changes during game.

Icy world  looks cold but beautiful.

What I can say? The game has gotten me.. The music is beautiful. The game itself looks stunningly awesome and you can stare the landscapes a long time only watching small details. I have to say that this game is succesfully made and I loved how it tells story of the girl. Not a flirtatious game since everything is based on friendship. So truly refreshing game among many others! So if you haven't try it, you should. At least find the music of the game and listen it.. even the music has own story to tell. And for once you're really playing a heroine, Princess Aurora. So jump in to save Lemuria!

Child of Light, Part 1

If you want to play a game where is lovely but sorrowfull music and beautifull landscapes I can name you one game immediately; Child of Light. The music in  game fits so well into the storyline which is sad but still you will find some hope when you play game further. Sad and lovely at the same time. So simply touching.

She finds her first companion.

Finding a sword.

Battles are turn-based.

Hero of the story is princess Aurora, a young girl who dies. And story begins from that. She is a girl who shows bravery when studies the wonders of the new world. During her journey she meets company who are willing to help and travel with her. And when the game goes further, companions are truly usefull ones. Of course you can also decide not to take them with you but discussions with companions gives you more information about the story and the world.

Solve small puzzles to go forward.

The landscape is absolutely stunning.

The story is well-written even straighforward.

New friends will also help in the battles.

You can travel around the beautifull land and trying to find all the hidden spots. Usually you have to solve simple puzzles to go forward but they are not nothing too difficult to solve. At times you have to find heavy thing to keep button down, activate symbols etc. Also battlesystem is good one when you just learn how it works. It is turnbased where speedness of teh character is meaningfull. You can attack using magic or weapons or simply stay on defend mode if you have no time to attack before enemy on that round. Every spell or attack has own speed so some of them are fast to make and some takes more time. Luckily at times your companions can slow attacks of the enemies so that you will be acting first. It took me some time to realise how system works but when I learnt it, it is very handy and allows you to have various tactis if enemy is bad one.

Flying is one of the neatest thing in the whole game.

Helping people improves your character as well.

There is also levelling system in game and you can improve your gears. I will post more from it on next posting what I will write about this game. Now my heroeine has reached level 16 and she has earned wings. Flying is one of the things which makes exploring even more fun! So far I have loved the game. You can't affect on the story since discussions do not offer much choices. But you can always decide if you take companions with you or not. But I would say, having them makes journeys more interesting with new dialogues and they're usefull during battles also. So for now I have only found positive sides from this game. And biggest plus is the main chracter is red-haired young girl! How many games you can name where is similar sounding heroine?
