Kingdom: Classic

Achievement Clean Up Medieval

Challenge Me from last month, which I finished on time and am only posting now. Fun while it lasted, but I can't help but feel the game is flawed. I had to ignore most of the game's mechanics to win, because building catapults = giant enemies throwing things back at you, killing many at once; building towers = archers getting grabbed by flying enemies; and creating farms and farmers = pointless and probably detrimental. So you just create like 70 archers and big fields (so there are more rabbits for the archers to hunt, which = making gold). That leaves you running (not so quickly) back and forth across the map over and over again to get enough recruits. It seems like these features should have worked more cohesively. I wanted more content, so I'm interested to see what New Lands has added or changed. There are more achievements I could probably easily get for surviving longer (instead of beating it in a low number of days), but I feel like it would be too boring right now.

For the Monthly: A horse, the reflection of the horse, and two bunnies. The deer refused to join the group photo.


Back to Bed

Achievement Clean Up Quirky

I'm off to a good start (easy when I choose such a short game to start with), because this is a Challenge Me game for the new month. You have to guide a sleepwalker Back to Bed. The sleepwalker follows a certain pattern, namely straight lines and clockwise turns when blocked. It's not a new concept, but there is some fun goofiness here, like a narrator that sounds like he came out lodge from Twin Peaks. This was a good length for me, because I tend to get bored of puzzle games after about this length.

Am I an animal?

Whew, here's a dog, so it looks like I don't have to worry about what the thing is afterall.


Suits: A Business RPG

Cool-looking Dystopia - The World Gone Wrong Quirky USA Won on SteamGifts

A Challenge Me game that qualifies for the monthly theme. I won this in one of those mass giveaways, so I was kind of skeptical, but it turned out to be a nice game to play over a free afternoon or two. You can tell the dev had a vision for this game. I won't put it on my Fun RPGs list because, even though it was so short, it was still lacking in skills (and certain types of equipment) during battle -- it was pretty boring to do basically the same thing every battle (namely using one character's "Staple Down" skill to paralyze an enemy to keep it from hurting on you). Yeah, Staple Down. They were able to take this coked-out capitalism theme pretty far using the traditional JRPG framework.

A rat, a cat, and a dinosaur. There were other animals (a bunch of different sharks!), but this game doesn't support the Steam overlay so it was too much of a hassle to get screenshots.

I usually say this to people who’ve played Suits, but heck I’ll say it again :P You should totally check out the game OFF. Suits was inspired by OFF and the main character is even in Suits. Sadly Suits wasn’t very good in my opinion and didn’t have any of what made OFF charming and memorable.

Also, nice review on kingdom classic. I was thinking of grabbing the game a few times but it’s not my type of thing. I think your review confirmed that for me too

Interesting. I’ve never heard of OFF, but thanks for letting me know.

It came out a while back. It’s not on steam but it is free to play. Good luck on your next set of games!

This nudged me to try Back to Bed - I see what you mean about the Twin Peaks bit :D
