Lionheart Tactics: A nice turn based game!


 Lionheart Tactics is a game that reminds me of the days that I would spend countless hours playing Final Fantasy Tactics! The same thing applies here as it did then! You control your main character and adventure across the land and on your adventures you gather more heroes to aid you in your quest against the forces of evil! Except Lionheart brings a few things to the table that FFT didn't! To those that have played Final Fantasy Tactics you will spot the differences! To those that haven't...well..you will still be satisfied with this game!


  The game starts off with a brief story introducing us to the hero! Yes you are a king! Then quickly afterwards you are met with a monster breaking into your room and trying to off you! The game gives you a run of the basics such as movement,skill use,and attacking! After defeating the monster you get introduced to one of the many heroes that will be accompanying you on your adventures! As you progress in the game more is revealed to you!


  One of these is how much of a pain an enemy healer is! But that's normal for almost any game. Another is that you can use a Gaea Break attack once it is fully charged up! This devastating attack hits hard and it might even do more but I haven't used it on my other characters! Not only that but you also start to see that your characters basic forms aren't permanent! Once you are done with the tutorial you are allowed to explore the other options of the game one of them being the hero panel that allows you to equip items to heroes,train them so they learn new skills,and even PROMOTE them to different ranks! Amazing right? You do need to collect certain items and similar to the way you would promote classes in Fire Emblem games...meaning you need to collect the appropriate stones for each individual class! You can also sacrifice units to buff up another unit! Cool huh?


 Besides that you are also allowed to take part in arena player versus player content! Which is separated into different leagues! Bronze,silver,gold and maybe more are available and are unlocked the more you win fights! But be careful! Just like in PvE if your heroes get hurt in PvP you will have to wait for a certain amount of time to get them back to full health or pay a few crowns to get them ready fast! So try not to overdo it!


  The cash shop in this game isn't heavily pay to win. But players who do donate a few bucks will have an edge over others but it's not something you can't overcome if you put the time into it! Gear,heroes of different qualities,and promotion stones are available for the right amount of gold or crowns! So try to save up those crowns until you get your nice hero all decked out and fully promoted! Then you can do whatever with them!

  I am still barely getting into the game but so far it has been an awesome adventure that I will probably regret taking part of at work and school! But that's life right? Thanks for reading this article hopefully you found it somewhat helpful! Be sure to follow us on twitter and to leave a comment using the disqus comment section at the end of the article! Take care fellow gamers!

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate: Killing time at work!




  Been playing so much with the Sword and Shield's in this game that this weapon of choice has become my actual all time favorite weapon! I recently finished creating all the elemental shield and swords I would need for future use as well as FINALLY finishing the Ancientshard sword and shield...and I must say that she is a true beauty! I also recently went to a local comic book store known as Kaboom Comics and found a few other players to join in this game! So far I am not complaining since now that I have a large group of players I can actually finish most quests with ease! Although they kind of hate me for not dying so much(SKILLZ) I tell them that the more they hunt and get used to a weapon they will be able to dance circles around any monster!

  Right now though I am trying to complete a poison sword called Helt Epee just because it looks awesome and goes with my Gigginox X set! The grind is intense though and I've been farming G-Rank Gigginox for the past three hours and haven't gotten one darn foul venom gland haha! Also have been forgetting to take antidotes(stupid of me) so I suppose it's time for me to get some rest before I start forgetting exactly how to dodge and stuff! Night!

Final Fantasy Appears! Type-0 and XV



   Why would I put these two games in the same article? Well because not only are they both Final Fantasy games but Final Fantasy Type-0 will include a demo of Final Fantasy XV! So that's why! Both these games will be releasing on the Playstation 4 and Xbox One! I've never seen a Square Enix game be released on a console other than Nintendos or Sonys but change is good right?! Both Final Fantasy titles will be fast paced and action packed as well as Type-0 allowing you to switch out with members of Class-0,a group of talented individuals,and XV allowing you to drive cars and go on roadtrips with your buddies! March 17 marks the release of Final Fantasy Type-0 so start saving money to buy it and get your hands on the FFXV demo! I know I will! One of the changes I am most looking forward to in XV is the larger open world! I'm hoping to be able to find a few secret items and maybe even secret bosses littered around certain areas! Since I am going to cut this article short due to not really having that much info on the games expect to be updated if I see any more news! :D

Nimble Quest: Snake With A Twist...


  How many of you have ever played the game snake? Remember the old school game where your goal was to collect blocks to grow longer and to avoid hitting walls and your own body? Well Nimble Quest is that...but with a twist(in case someone didn't read the title)! Instead of collecting blocks you collect heroes to grow longer! But they don't just follow you around...they each attack! What do they attack? Enemies of course! These enemies will be moving around trying to kill you and you will be moving around to attack and avoid colliding with them! Cool huh? You start off with a few heroes and as you progress in the levels unlock more! Rangers,mages,zombie warriors,and other awesome heroes make up the roster for this awesome game! To make things interesting the more heroes you unlock the more choices you have of which to make the leader! The leader is special because if that hero dies...game over! Your hero can die from taking too much damage,colliding with an enemy,colliding with walls,or colliding with other heroes! This means you can't just wander around and have to be attentive to what is going on around you! But the same applies to enemies! If you see an enemy "snake" and kill off the front enemy you kill the other two!


  The first few levels are simple...as would be expected! But as you progress you begin to meet more daunting foes! From healers to demons you will never face the same combination of enemies! But just as your enemies grow stronger so does your hero! The more you use your favorite hero the more "experience" they get! once they reach the max amount they gain a star and unlock a bonus to attack speed,movement speed,or health points! This gives you rewards for playing the game and it makes things more interesting by adding a leveling factor! Another thing that further helps you is the bonuses you can get with tokens. These tokens can be obtained through trading 1000 gems or winning them in the guild battle system. All you have to do is participate and at the end you get your tokens! You can also use the gems to upgrade the buffs you will find in the game such as the above shown ice shield! You upgrade the duration so that they are more useful than when they were just level one!






















  This game never really gets boring and is a fun time sink for when you are having a slow day at work,or when your college professor doesn't show up for thirty minutes! Whatever you want this game is fun and if you can get friends into it you can even slam em with your highscore! Thanks for reading this review and I hope it helped you out!

Dungeon Village: Build,Recruit,Kill,and Earn!

 

  I had been playing this game for a few months now and completely and totally forgot to write a review on it! Shame on me! But in all seriousness this game is probably one of the most addicting mobile games I've ever played! From the moment I bought this game on the google play store to now I have not stopped playing it and my village continues to grow! I'm not sure if the developers intend on adding more content to it but with what it has now it is more than entertaining! Now let me get down to the sweet details!



  You start off as a lowly mayor of an equally lowly town of whatever you decided to name it. You are then tasked with building it up and recruiting adventurers to wipe out any monsters that will appear. Simple huh? Well to add a bit of a twist to it the monsters will become more difficult as the game progresses,adventurers will level up and purchase items from your stores,the more weapons and armors your adventurers loot the more are unlocked in the armor and weapon shops. All this money goes to you so that you may build more money generating buildings or purchase weapons and armor to give to an adventurer of your choice! This means you can fully deck out a few adventurers to give them the edge to face the upcoming challenges! Also you will be able to use that money to send off adventurers and have them complete quests around your town! Whether it be exploring a dungeon,to destroying a horde of mobs! This also means you will be faced with "boss" monsters every once in a while! These are usually dragons and some of them remind me of pokemon or godzilla characters! Which makes it even more entertaining!

                                                                         (Get it?)

  Now that basically sums up the game but there is still a bit more! Your adventurers do level up as they complete quests or just kill monsters out on the field! The max level is 10 and upon reaching that level is 10 and upon reaching the cap they can change to another class. Each class having bonuses to either the amount of money generated to the amount of customers a store will receive as well as battlefield bonuses! You also unlock that class if you already haven't and some of them are a bit bizarre! One such class is the "clown" class and the "maid" class! I have no idea why they are added but I think it's cool and they do have their own reasons for being in the game...I just haven't figured out! This means that you can have an entire army of clown adventurers killing off other monsters. Clowns are safe from being eaten by monsters...because they taste funny...get it? THEY TASTE FUNNY! Ha...ha...ha...okay back to business! Each adventurer has an amount of happiness that when at a certain point allows you to build them a house so that they become permanent residents of your town! And that means more money for you! You get to collect taxes from them and they don't care! HA! They will also give you certain buildings that boost the stats of adventurers that enter them!



  Another interesting feature of this game is the event system! To give your adventurers more of an edge over the monsters you can hold these to boost their strength,dexterity,intelligence,hp,or toughness! So holding events early and buffing up your adventurers is something that will be a necessity if you intend to save money on buying healing items for the downed adventurers! You can also boost your popularity which will give you a chance of attracting more adventurers! Neat huh? So hold them melon eating contests and marathons till they are so strong they one shot everything! Just kidding...I don't think that's possible! There is also a development system where you unlock a cauldron and throw random stuff in there to boost certain elements and after a while you will unlock either a building,spell,accessory,armor,weapon,or something else that will help you expand your town!

  This game is addicting so for anyone that plans on purchasing it rest assured...you will get your moneys worth and probably get caught playing this on your phone at work more than once...like me. >.>

  Thanks for reading this review! Be sure to follow me on twitter to see any new reviews or to just talk about games! Maybe I'm playing one you are? ;)

Eudemons Online: Upcoming Expansion


  Eight years. That is how long Eudemons Online has been up and running. Considering the many things they have done wrong with handling new classes and balancing out the new ones apparently they finally decided to do something right! Maybe? According to a recent post on their official Facebook page they will be releasing new skills and applying class balances to even out the playing field! This is good to hear because in all honesty I would love to make a warrior or a mage or paladin and not feel gimped from the start! And yes I did give into the Necromancer class but I have a warrior and mage ready to test the new expansion! Right now they have only released a screenshot of the new warrior skill(or skills?) and it looks promising!



  Look at the shininess! LOOK AT IT! This skill will hopefully put warriors on par with Vampires and Necromancers and I am hoping the new class they announced isn't overpowered beyond belief! Because honestly I miss the days of old when you would log into the game and see warriors,mages,and paladins running around! Now all I really ever see are vampires and necromancers...with a rare paladin or warrior and hardly any mages! But that will soon change! Right? The new class that has been announced is the "Shadow Knight" class! People are assuming that it is a mixture between warriors and necromancers but I am hoping it is a class all its own and differs from the others! Just to add a bit of spice to the game! You know what I mean? Here is some concept art as well as a screenshot of the weapons they will be using which apparently look like spears? :D



  What do you guys think? Will this balance the game out and will this new class be overpowered? Or will things FINALLY settle into place and will this game make a comeback of sorts? To those that haven't played it are you now interested in playing it or are you going to wait for the expansion? Let me know! :D

  I say hi to you from my Necromancer GamerJesus on the LA server! :P

Vanguard Saga of Heroes(SHUTDOWN)


  I recently stumbled across this online game while browsing the Everquest 2 website.At first I thought what harm could it do right?Might as well try it out!After having played through the tutorial area called "Isle of Dawn" and some of the first few quests I was instantly hooked and was amazed at the amount of depth in such a game!Many games lack depth and rely on spoon feeding the players but Vanguard knows better!Leveling is no longer limited to simply your basic level and gear is no longer limited to pvp/pve gear!You can level diplomacy by interacting with npcs,crafting by...well crafting,harvesting,and can equip gear to give a boost to each profession!I haven't delved deeper into the different professions but Diplomacy is by far my favorite!
  Vanguard is a freemium game but the restrictions aren't so bad.You have access to all the content the game has to offer as a free player with four character slots and you gain regular exp from mobs as well as access to mobs obtainable in game.As a premium player you get 50% more exp,12 character slots,max vault space,and some other perks.At first this wasn't such a big deal having played Lord of The Rings Online I was used to this system...but then I saw something that just made me question the intelligence of the developers:You can't equip orange gear unless you are a premium player...WTF?!For more info visit this link: https://www.vanguardthegame.com/free.vm
  The difficulty in Vanguard is pretty high compared to most mmos...and I like it!I actually feel like every skill I cast is meaningful and as a Necromancer fan I take pride in crushing my opponents souls with my DoTs and debuffs while torturing them with my minions until they draw their last breath!This game requires you to use your brain a bit and to know your class of choices weaknesses and strengths.Running solo might work for a bit but it is NOT recommended!You will reach points where you just can't complete a quest because mobs gank you or they just hit to damn hard!Sometimes you'll even have a quest for a boss that is labeled "Soloable" but healers and some mages will have a tough time with these quests...I should know I have died a few times from such a quest.To make things easier for you and your buddies there are brotherhoods and caravans.Go here to get some more info on those: https://www.vanguardthegame.com/game-guide.vm
  I was told by some players that their is a PvP arena later on at level 48 that you can go to to test your skills against fellow players and for those of you that just want to have a friendly duel that is also available starting at level 8.I have not gotten into the PvP aspect so I can't really comment on the class balance and stuff but I will update this whenever I get the chance.
  I have encountered many players that did not know that Vanguard was still up and running.This amazed me because if I hadn't decided to be nosy I would never have found it in the first place!As I continue to play I have discovered that I am indeed a fan of exploring and Vanguard has given me the best sense of exploration by far from the many mmorpgs I have played.It is no longer that you are limited to linear gameplay where you go to a town do quests go to a dungeon kill the boss and move on to the next town.Vanguard breaks free of this linear path that games have taken and gives you an open world to explore!Using riftways you can explore different areas filled with different monsters!You can get on a mount and go out into the world KNOWING that you will find something such as a dungeon or sidequests.The map however is very poor in quality and shows only a few dots representing the different npcs or dungeons that are available.I am glad that it is this way though as it helps you feel like you are an actual adventurer with a crappy map and a world full of unknown adventure before you!
  Community wise the player base is healthy on the Telon server and there are always people online to help or are in need of help so finding a party or a few questing buddies shouldn't be a problem!I haven't bumped into any role playing groups yet so for those of you out there that like to RP keep an eye on this as I will be updating it soon.
  As I continued my adventures I reached a dungeon called Khregors End.Not knowing this was a dungeon I ventured in only to be stopped at the entrance by an arachnid that made mince meat of my creature and myself.I went back a second time but this time I asked for a group and was amazed at how quickly I got a full party with a healer and tank plus a bunch of dps!We ventured in working our way through the spiders and down the winding pathway until we reached the bottom floor.Dwarves and Bugbears were busy mining and we began the full on massacre of each and every one of them!I asked how long this dungeon took to do.I was thinking five maybe twenty minutes tops...but boy was I wrong..an hour and thirty minutes later we resurfaced leveled and with all our quests finished and ready to turn in!This aspect,though long and gruesome,was extremely rewarding!I jumped from level thirteen to level nineteen and managed to get some equipment to bolster me for the next round where we face off against the KING!Dungeons are a nice way to explore the world while meeting new comrades and creating ties with them for future adventures!
