Game Review | Mindustry

I've got a soft spot for Tower Defence games, I remember spending a good about of Warcraft 3 playing Element TD and some version of Tower Wars. Despite the gameplay having waves and wave of enemies throw themselves into your carefully mazed defences being so fun, it was not as commercially appealing as DOTA. As such there is few games that ever match the enjoyment from the classic Tower Defence mods of Warcraft 3.


Mindustry is does just that though. Offers a solid Tower Defence with endless enemy waves and a sandbox resource management tech tree that allows for a lot of frantic moments and creativity. I've mostly played solo, but there is a live multiplayer scene accessible via their Discord. The fun comes from loading into a map, find the spawn point, setting up a frontline and snaking your mining, liquids and ammo to where it's needed so that you can take down each wave and get out with as many resources as possible to unlock more of that tech tree.

While the game is available for free via Github I wholeheartedly recommend purchasing it from Steam or Itch.io to support the developer.

Late to This - Wizard of Legend

This little gem is something I picked during a round of Steam sales.

If you enjoy having to be quick on your feet while dealing with a ever increasing challenge this is the game for you.

mIRecommends: Katana ZERO

Katana, Check

Pixel Art, Check

Blood, Check

Sounds like a typical Devolver Digital published game. 

PC Games of 2018

Well a year and one month as come and gone and I'm just getting around to compiling a list of my personal recommendation for PC games that released last year. 

Wikipedia lists about 214 games that were announced and released on PC in 2018. There were likely a lot more as counting everything that is not noteworthy is likely a little tedious. 

So come one and all and see what I recommended for you that released in 2018 and while this may be a PC list. I did pick up a PS4 this year and Spider-Man is a must play if you like the adventures of the web crawler. 

Anime Binge: Grimoire of Zero

Between all that gaming and attempt to go through the pile of shame that having limited time entails, finding a good Anime to binge has not been a main priority. 

I've attempted to get back into Overlord after the first season and while there are plenty of reason to watch I've found the gamer stuck in a game trope a little over done and nothing comes close to Log Horizon for that kick. 

Current Addiction: AKANE

I love me some pixel art.

I also love a cyberpunk dystopian future setting

Throw in a one hit kill, quick repeat action and this has been my current addiction during my break from the playing WoW.
