Boomerang X – New Video Game Review
The intriguing art-style and combat of Boomerang X is what drew me in, but the boomerang itself is what hooked me. Your unnamed hero wielding a four-sided weapon gave me serious Krull vibes. This is a horrible 1980s fantasy film that I loved deeply. The main character uses a five-sided version of the Glaive. More Info : Venge io.
It was a movie that captured my imagination as a child. While the film doesn’t hold up as well as I would have liked, the basic idea of throwing a bladed weapon at evil villains is what Boomerang X finally delivered to me. Boomerang X is a great retro FPS. I am grateful for my fondness of bad ’80s movies. Boomerang X reveals the rest of the story through the environments.
The village is a ruin, but if you look closely at the houses, you will find the remains of its original inhabitants. A few friendly creatures will provide context and information via text dialogue about the island’s current condition, as well as a brief history of your boomerang. It’s a very “show, do not tell” approach that complements Boomerang X’s mysterious attitude.
Boomerang X offers a unique twist to a single-player arena shooting game. It features a great environmental story, an interesting weapon and a smooth combat system. It’s linear but it has the best Metroid Prime vibes that I have ever felt. I loved exploring each area and getting deeper into the mysterious island. It was so much fun, I wish it was longer.
Gloomhaven, a cooperative dungeon crawler, turned the game upside-down when it was published in 2017. It arrived in a small box that was the same size as a shipping container. With a price tag to match it, it offered a unique marriage of RPG-style character building and tactical combat. It is still a highly-rated board game that can be enjoyed by those who have the time, money and space to enjoy its many charms.Isaac Childres, a designer, has now created a simplified prequel for us all. Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion attempts to cut away the bloat of the original, leaving the core experience intact. As the titular mercenary team, you will guide them through 25 adventures to investigate mysterious disappearances.
Diablo 4 will allow you to customize your character’s visual appearance, including hair colour, eye colour, facial hair, jewellery and tattoos. This is the first time the series has allowed this. A new dye system will allow you to control the colour of your armour.
A lifelong tabletop RPG game master, I find it exciting to see a co-op action gaming game set in the Forgotten Realms. It’s difficult to match the worldbuilding and storytelling of Dungeons and Dragons. In all my years of playing, I have never seen someone roll a more critical failure than Dungeons & Dragons Dark Alliance. It takes all that potential and turns it into a tedious, repetitive, and utterly lacking in storytelling. This is more heartbreaking than a group PCs splitting the party.
