Bulb Boyīulb Boy is a unique beast, and I knew that the moment I saw it on Kickstarter, which made me interview the developers and got me excited for its eventual release. With its expansion coming out soon, I’m looking forward to playing more of this Game of Thrones, Redwall chess game that is Armello. That, and the game shines a lot more in the multiplayer than it does in the single player, which is a shame since there could have been a lot done to make it just as interesting as multiplayer.Īrmello is the sort of experience you need to share with others and it’s a game that shouldn’t be hidden away to Rot in the background. Something about Armello that I immediately noticed was that while the game does plenty of things to keep it fresh, Armello isn’t a game you want to marathon for hours on end. There were entire rounds where I was able to go around decimating all of the characters but then end up losing because of something the monarch did. What’s interesting is that in general, the monarch’s AI seems to be a lot smarter than the AI of the other controlled characters, which is a grand challenge and also slightly frustrating. There’s also added elements involving what’s infecting the monarch, The Rot, forcing you to not only compete against the other players, but against the king himself who is also out to get you. There’s also added elements involving what’s infecting the monarch, The Rot, forcing you to not only compete against the other This means you can conquer your foes in a multitude of ways that they might not even see coming. A lot of it is RNG, but you can put the odds in your favor by doing quests, fighting other players and gaining prestige, which acts as reputation for your feats. No two rounds of Armello are the same and there is a wide variety of things you can do within the game in order to win. There are countless guides about this so I won’t go into it too much detail here, but each hero has their own way of winning and learning this is half of the fun of this game. Each character also has their own backstory that factors into why they want to become king of the land or any history with the king. There are 5 distinct clans: Wolves, Rats, Bears, Rabbits and Bandits, and each has their own strengths and weaknesses. You’re competing against 3 other players, whether they’re AI or player characters, and you have to defeat them in win. Armello is a beautifully drawn game about a kingdom that’s in danger of collapsing after its monarch goes mad, and it’s up to you to claim the throne. Tabletop games have been around for years and it’s only fitting we’d get some video games that’d represent this like Armello eventually. It’s been a destressor of mine since I’ve purchased it and in this hustle and bustle world, I think we need a game like Catlateral Damage to relax and cause some havoc with, in a family-friendly sort of way. Truthfully, I put this Catlateral Damage on the list because I wanted those people who just needed a game to play for some goofy fun, to have something to go with. There’s also plenty of references to various other licensed products that may get a chuckle out of you every once and a while. It’s entertaining and mindless to just be a cat, but there’s also a weird amount of strategy to knocking down just the right amount of things to proceed to the next level. It’s one of those titles that you just run around and have fun with and not put in too much thought while playing it. There’s a variety of levels, unlockable cats you can play as and ways you can play within the levels. The game’s main gimmick, playing as a cat is it’s main draw but despite that the game manages to stay fresh and fun for hours on end. Despite being an extremely successful Kickstarter and getting all sorts of coverage, it’s like the gaming world has gone nearly silent about after the release. Remember when I said that I’d also be talking about games that the gaming community largely forgot about or still hadn’t heard of? Well this is my first case of it. Don’t worry obscure game enthusiasts we still have some bizzare ones on this list that you may not have heard of. Undertale and Life Is Strange won’t be on the list because their fandoms can fill a small country of their own. The games on this list may not be nearly as obscure as my worst of list, but many of the bigger titles have been largely forgotten by the community, heard in passing, or just ignored all together.
