ABC Challenge - 11th update
🎉It’s done 🎉
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXY7 (26/26)
Abyss Odyssey 🎁 - beaten
Finally I got back to it and beat it. It’s a 2D Platformer with proceduraly generated levels. IMHO what this game lacks the most is a proper guide/tutorial on the game mechanics, which seem weird and hard to understand on first try. The controls are not easy to master either. All those things makes it hard to enjoy the game, but once you get used to the controls and understand the mechanics (especially capturing enemies) it becomes a really fun and pretty easy game to play. So fun for me that I beat it several times with different characters. Wanted to also try online but couldn’t connect to anyone. And final boss on Nightmare difficulty is painfully hard, didn’t manage to beat him on solo run. It got me annoyed once with a bug when the game crashed on the level just before the final boss (Nightmare) and I lost my very good sword and other equipment, arghhh..
Other games
Rock of Ages - beaten
One of the first games I bought on Steam (~seven years ago), quickly abandoned back then. Great humor with really funny cut-scenes. It feels like Super Monkey Ball mixed with Tower Defense game. But you can just focus on riding your ball fast and safe when attacking, and when you are putting obstacles in TD mode you can just spam explosives near the end of level - just make sure you are faster than your opponent. This strategy worked well in story mode (not sure about online against humans - could not connect to anyone)..
Vanguard Princess - beaten
2D anime fighting game. I just completed story mode for one of the characters, and that was enough for me. Very low resolution and no graphics settings at all. Japanese voice audio and pervy-anime style with barely covered females - some people will like that :P.
Heli Heroes - completed
Easy but not a great game with lots of annoyances: background in main menu scrolling extremely fast, controls getting remapped for some unknown reason, voice commenting your actions with same quotes over and over, screen feels cropped in full HD resolution making it impossible to see the boss in most of the levels. But the worst thing was that I was getting stuck on the start of almost every level on the only thing to make your heli move was to spam pressing F8 key to change graphics settings from high to low and back.
Progress
Congrats on finishing your ABC challenge \o/
Congrats! So in conclusion, what would you say was the best game of your ABC challenge? And what was the worst one?
That’s easy to answer. The best was Dishonored. Loved it for a great world, story and level design. For (some) freedom you have on how to complete your missions and for how your choices affect the world (Low/High Chaos). I was thinking about getting DLCs for it but because of stupid region restrictions I can’t get it on Steam (My game is ROW version, which is apparently not compatible with restricted version sold in my region :|)
On the other hand the worst memories I’ll have with Gods vs Humans. It’s a weak mobile port and it’s way too repetitive and boring. I might have different opinion if it was 75% shorter. But here I was forcing myself to finish it, and if it wasn’t the challenge I would abandon it for sure.
Thanks for the answer. Aw, that’s unfortunate that you could not get the DLC. Region restrictions suck. I still haven’t finished Dishonored, maybe I finally should :)
Never heard of Gods vs Humans, but yeah, bad ports can cost a lot of nerves…
That big green bar for the month looks really good, grats about the ABC challenge too :3
