[Shauna]

Isaac and his Bindings plz

[Rantz]

I haven't read anything about Binding of Isaac before, but just now I read this review by Pokemaster73 on Steam:

YOU ARE A YOUNG NAKED BOY WHO SHOOTS SPOOKY MONSTERS IN THE BASEMENT WITH YOUR TEARS
IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS
THIS GAME IS LIKE ZELDA ON CRACK
IF YOU DON'T BUY THIS GAME YOU'RE MISSING OUT, MAN

So now my vote is for Binding of Isaac.

[Ergroilnin]

Ohh so far it's 3 for Isaac and for DMC then. Any others?

Let's move to CSTW review

Cthulhu Saves the World

Cthulhu Saves the World is made by two manned game developer Zeboyd Games. It is old school 2D RPG based on old JRPGs and of course literal work of H. P. Lovecraft.

CSTW is very interesting game, as one could already tell from the title. Main story of the game is that Cthulhu, once again emerges from the sea in full power in order to destroy the world but his evil powers get sealed by mysterious human magus and the only way he can get them back is if he becomes a true hero of the world. Thus his journey to become hero begins!

If that isn't one of the most awesome plots you ever heard about, then wait there is more. The whole game is frequently breaking the 4th wall when narrator explains things to player, Cthulhu hears him as well, not to mention he is aware that you are the player and are controlling him. Whole time you play the game makes fun of itself and is full of clever jokes that make you laugh all the time.

The graphics are set in the old school 16 bit, which is very fitting the spirit of the game and the music is like from the old times as well. It feels really like playing old JRPG.

Gameplay wise the game is old JRPG in most ways and that's the way I like it. Random battles, level ups, turn based first person battle style, everything is written, no voiced narration. You get new skills, items, equips, quests through the game and as you level up... Well simply the good JRPG stuff. There are four difficulty levels and then there are some bonus challenge stages that get unlocked after you finish the game for the first time, so there is a lot of replayability as well.

Here are first twenty minutes of the game:

Review:

Objectively:

Cthulhu Saves the World is awesome piece of "retro" rpg that had great humour, decent enough plot, elements from H. P. Lovecraft literal creation and seriously for two manned project is a very decent game if you are fan of this.

7/10


Subjectively:

My opinion? This games rocks! Seriously I laughed quite bit in the hour or so I played so far. I love the old styled graphics and battle elements and I also really like H. P. Lovecraft work so Cthulhu based game is great (Well this is based on the Lovecraft stories about as much as Haiyore Nyaruko-san! anime but still it counts!)

I will be playing this game later on like mad!

9/10

[Pumpkin]

Memoria

[Dr Unne]

Surgeon Simulator 2013

[Spuuky]

Defense Grid

CSTW is a good game, but it is their 2nd of 4 games, and they keep getting better in mechanical quality and execution, and their 5th game coming out soon (Cosmic Star Heroine) is going to be utterly fantastic. The 3rd and 4th game are tied to the Penny Arcade licensing which does a lot to change their appeal in some ways, but the next one is going to be entirely their own IP again.

[Ergroilnin]

Well so far three votes for three games. Anyone else?

[Shauna]

Surgeon Simulator.

[Psychotic]

Yeah I love Surgeon Simulator. I'd be tempted to do a LP of it someday. Let's see you play it!

[Ergroilnin]

Sorry guys I didn't play today, not gonna lie, I didn't felt like it. I will take the Surgeon sim as a winner so for the rest of the week I owe you guys review of Binding of Isaac and Surgeon Sim and I will start vote again for monday.

[Shauna]
