I stumbled upon this gem on YouTube. Today I installed and completed it in one sitting. It took me probably about 8 hours, but I did it. It’s a 2D action adventure with RPG elements. The game is similar to Castlevania on the GBA and DS, as well as Super Metroid. There are a few differences though. First of all, the game has levels. You can revisit them as much as you like, and you are encouraged to do it, as there are plenty of items you can’t get in the first run. Second, and more important, the game is beautiful. All of the backgrounds are hand drawn and in high resolution. The level of details is amazing. The characters are nicely animated and everything looks completely smooth. 

In the style of Castlevania, you unlock new abilities as you progress such as dash and double jump, which in turn allow you to revisit all levels and discover paths to new ones, as well as collect some nice items. You also gain experience and levels which further improves your character. There are a couple of spells and various skills in the game, and there is an option to buy potions that increase your stats, so if you like to grind you will feel right at home. I might try grinding later, but right now, I just tried to collect as much items as possible and complete the game. It gets hard at times, but it never became frustrating for me. Most of the times, I died because I got impatient. Anyway, If you like nice 2D games, this is probably one of the best you can get on the PC right now.

Anyway, look at the trailer and see for yourself.

It’s been a while, and allot has happened. I did plenty of heroic runs, including Naxxramas and some raids, which got me lots of gear for my dps and my healing build. I can now heal trough most heroics without problem, but I still lack the mana for longer battles. I was also doing daily quests for various Northrend factions, as well as for Argent Tournament and Outland cooking. I lack 2 Outland cooking recipes, but I have completed most Northrend cooking achievements. I am also an exalted champion of Stormwind, Gnomeregan, Exodar and Darnassus and I will be the champion of Ironforge in two days.

Most Northrend factions revere me now. All I am missing are the Frostborn, the Frenzyheart, the Wyrmrest Acord and the Sons of Hodir. The Frostborn will take the longest, as they only have a single daily quest.

After reinstalling Windows, I lost the save for this game, so I had to restart. It didn’t take long for me to catch up on what I lost, and now the game is completed. It took about 40 in game days, mostly because I decided not to let any battles run out of time. I got the 3 terminator armors, but honestly, I think only the force commander had any use out of one of them. All other characters became weaker after putting them on.

Anyway, it’s a great game and I recommend it to all the RTS and RPG fans, especially if you are a fan of both.

After completing Wanted, I decided to try this one. I like it very much. It’s kind of like Warlords Battlecry, but with everything greatly improved. I’ve got a total of 5 squads now all on level 4 or 5. I finished all the beginning missions on the first planet and have just gotten to the second one. I think I will enjoy this one.

I didn’t expect much from this game, and that is exactly what I got. It’s not bad, just not that good either. I played for an hour or two and got a few skills and weapons. I also unlocked 3 or 4 new characters to play the game with, but I don’t think it makes much of a difference. I probably will finish it, because it seems rather short, but I won’t return to it later.
