Hi, my name is ColdBeer and let’s start this Steam Summer sale video with
Grim Dawn
Among all the games similar to Diablo, there is no doubt that Grim Dawn is one of the best
examples ever made in this field.
More than 90% of positive reviews can confirm that with ease.
Here you will be able to enjoy the Dual Class system.
Combine any of six distinct classes with over 25 skills and modifiers per class.
Meaning that your hero will definitely be some kind of unique abomination nobody else
has.
Although, I can say from my own experience - if you are playing for the first time, don't
do that.
Swallow your dignity and just watch some tutorial of the most powerful build possible.
Because otherwise you may end like me - you will nurture a warrior who does cool magic,
but later in the game is completely useless.
Darksiders Genesis
This is a great game with great humor and very positive reviews on Steam.
It is well balanced to play in co-op mode, but also fun in single player as well without
any regrets.
You, like me, probably have no friends anyway.
Although I must warn you that here you will do more shooting than bashing and slashing,
but you will get a fair share of the latter as well.
Gamers on Steam are praising the aesthetics, interesting story and fun gameplay, but are
grumpy about controls and few almost unsolvable puzzles.
Game has great graphics, a bit of childish dialogues, terrible camera angles and no Potato
Salad-Man class, which is a shame, anyway from me it gets 8 cold beers out of 10.
Death's Door
Here you control a Crow - some kind of bird grim reaper.
Suddenly your assigned soul is stolen and you must track down a desperate thief to a
realm untouched by death - where creatures grow far past their expiry
date and overflow with greed and power.
Well, this place sounds like a parliament of every country.
You will have a vast array of melee weapons, various arrows and powerful magic to overcome
a fantastic bunch of beasts and demigods - the land is full of twisted inhabitants and countless
secrets.
Just like parliament.
Anyway, here you will experience a somber yet darkly comedic tale, uncovering the secrets
behind the flow of souls, the role of the Crows and the origin of the Potato Salad-Man
himself.
Well, probably not the latter.
I’m just kidding.
Or am I?
Book of Demons
It is a surprisingly good game ignored by many just because of how it looks.
It has great lighting effects, but those paper figures are definitely not for everyone.
Anyway, here you can decide the length of the quests.
Wield magic cards instead of weapons and slay armies of darkness in the dungeons below the
Old Cathedral.
Yeah I bet you heard that somewhere.
People on Steam are talking that Book of Demons has great replayability with a variety of
combinations, interesting art direction and fast, non boring gameplay.
Although some are saying that the game can become a bit monotonous.
Buuut I'm pretty much sure that it can happen because of the skills and spells you use.
If your build is not fun enough - you will not get enough fun.
Simple, right?
So google some nice builds before you play, let there be a bit of Book of Demons among
big boobed milfs in your search history.
Anyway, the game has 91% of positive reviews and is kinda cheap.
Victor Vran
Nobody can deny that a vast array of powerful weapons, game-changing outfits, optional challenges
and hidden secrets in this game are very enjoyable.
Also here you can dive down on enemies, dodge-roll attacks, jump on walls and enjoy entertaining
boss fights.
Great voice acting and visuals are also in-game, as well as great camera angles and the ability
of rotating it.
I’m still surprised how many games do not have a camera rotating function even now.
What are you hiding?
Pineapples in your potato salad?
BLASPHEMY!
Anyway, Victor Vran is the most metal game I have ever played.
Well, asides the Brutal Legend with Jack Black.
Victor Vran has an entire DLC dedicated to the Motorhead band.
How cool is that?
Spoiler alert - very cool!
They aced that DLC and if you like metal Victor Vran is the choice for you, no doubt.
And gamers on Steam are praising intuitive controls and fun gameplay.
Victor Vran will take about 10 to 20 hours for you to beat it.
Death Trash
This game is awesome.
It is set in a semi-open world divided into a few zones.
You will spend a lot of time in underground facilities and dungeons as well, but it has
a completely different approach to narrative compared to casual games.
You never know what to expect.
Also here you will encounter extensive player freedom from manual save games to the fact
that any dialogue can be left anytime.
Also here you can kill everyone or... don't kill anyone.
That is the spirit, that is the cash of Death Trash.
Highly recommended, especially if you like games like Diablo with the hint of pixel art.
Ok, with a lot of pixel art.
Torchlight 2
People on Steam are saying that this game is highly addictive and can fast forward your
life rather quickly.
Some people say that this is a spiritual brother of Diablo 2, but I can’t agree with that.
It’s too cartoony, the models and color palette reminds me of World of Warcraft instead.
Although I played World of Warcraft for several years, I still have the best memories.
I think I will get back to it.
That is when I’m old, some 25 years from now.
Anyway, Torchlight 2 is great, very complex and fun and if you are cool with this colorful
Disney princess visual style it may be one of the best action RPG games you have ever
played.
If you like Diablo or similar games, like Grim Dawn or Path of Exile, Torchlight 2 is
probably a must play.
Hades
98% of positive reviews left by hundreds of thousands of people is the best proof that
Hades is a masterpiece.
This is a god-like rogue-like dungeon crawler that combines the best aspects of Action RPG
games and is a wonderful story-teller.
As the immortal Prince of the Underworld, you'll wield the powers and mythic weapons
of Olympus to break free from the clutches of the god of the dead himself.
You must grow stronger and unravel more of the story with each unique escape attempt.
Yeah, each attempt.
That kinda sums up this game, where you will be dying all the time.
But dying is a part of Hades, it's not something you should be afraid of.
And people on Steam are saying...
well...
it doesn't matter what they say.
It's a masterpiece, they are all praising the game and saying it is the best ever.
Just like potato salad.
Rum & Gun
If you are searching for something less popular, but still good enough to lose your time in
- Rum & Gun fulfills these criteria and offers even more.
This is a game made by one man, but by playing it you probably couldn’t tell that.
Also it’s supercheap and it has very positive reviews on Steam.
I follow the guy on facebook and I can see that Rum & Gun is a passion project - the
updates are quite constant and they not only fix bugs but include additional content as
well.
Like literally, every time I check on him, he showcases an update with new enemies and
maps.
Last time I checked, he introduced epic battles with giant octopusies.
Octopuses?
Octopusi?
Well, tentacle things
Shadows Awakening
Here you can walk between worlds and in every realm new unique challenges will await.
In the shadow realm you will slay various spirits and demons and in the real world,
well, you know as usual - spiders, snakes and maybe even evil koalas - all the stuff
from the National Geographic channel.
This concept is really cool, I had a lot of fun playing this game.
People on Steam are saying that Shadows Awakening is quite ok’ish if you compare it with the
best Diablo-like Action RPG games - not a masterpiece by any means, but a nice game
if you are tired from Grim Dawn or Path of Exile and just want to spend a few hours in
a different world slaying various different animals.
Pyre
This is a party-based RPG in which you lead a band of exiles to freedom through ancient
competitions spread across a vast, mystical purgatory.
Here you will find a Campaign mode where you will never be forced to lose progress.
That’s interesting, because whether you win or fail, your journey still continues.
The interactive narrative is expressed through a story that no two players will experience
in quite the same way.
On top of the single-player campaign, Pyre features a local two-player Versus Mode, where
you can play against a friend or CPU opponent, which is a way more realistic for you my lovely
friendless schmuck.
So here you can choose your party from 20 different characters and dive into battle.
This game has two modes of gameplay.
First one is the battles, which makes your heart beat faster and let’s be fair, that’s
probably only cardio exercise you do, and also slow, text-heavy sections with very
little player input.
So you often lose that combat readiness when you deal with those scenes.
And most of us play games like this not for the text walls, but for the great action.
Well, this game has both, so it’s up to you.
Warhammer 40 000 Inquisitor - Martyr
Here you will become a mighty Inquisitor and carry out the Emperor’s will.
Choose one of the multiple classes and take part in brutal combat encounters.
Embark on a huge variety of missions with your fellow agents and fight through the single-player
story campaign.
It is set in a haunted fortress-monastery which hides a terrible secret from the past
of the Inquisition.
They probably have put pineapple into potato salad.
In general this is a very nice game, but keep in mind that it is best played with a gamepad,
because playing with keyboard and mouse is really not as comfortable.
Although some people could argue about that, because there are many gamers in both gamepad
and keyboard camps.
Although let’s be fair - gamepad camp is way bigger.
And the gameplay, the main thing of every game, is highly addictive, it will burn tens
or even hundreds of your hours even quicker than alcohol does.
People on Steam are saying that this game is a no-brainer for those who like Diablo
- it’s basically the same just in the Warhammer universe.
Sands of Aura
This is a wonderful hack and slash RPG, but with huge influence from the souls-like genre.
Meaning that you will die a lot and then you will die even more and that, at least for
me, takes a lot of fun away.
Game has really beautiful graphics, and despite it’s a hard game you can control your hero
quite easily and kill some monsters without a sweat.
Well... after some practice.
To be honest - after a lot of practice.
And for some of you practice may not help at all.
Well, that escalated quickly.
Anyway, I’m kidding, the game is not insanely hard, but it will challenge you, especially
the bosses.
Otherwise it’s a nice game.
But keep in mind that it is in early access and you may want to wait for the full release,
because they are resetting the progress with every update.
That kinda sucks, I ain’t gonna lie.
The Ascent
This is a solo and co-op Action RPG, set on a distant cyberpunk world.
You will be exploring a corporate-run metropolis stretching high into the sky and filled with
creatures from all over the galaxy.
If you like Star Wars, Firefly or Cyberpunk 2077 it's a perfect setting for your adventures.
Here you play as a worker, enslaved by the company that owns your ass and everyone else
in your district as well.
They are the ultimate assholders.
But one day, you are suddenly caught in a vortex of catastrophic events: So you must
take up arms and embark on a new mission to find out what started it all.
People on Steam are saying that the game is really beautiful and fun, but kinda riddled
with bugs.
Not everyone experiences these problems, the game has a bit less than 80% of positive reviews.
For some it is even the best game they have ever played.
I think that is an overstretch, a real overstretch, but kinda encouraging as well.
We Are The Dwarves
This is a real-time tactical adventure where you take control of three Dwarven astronauts
and lead them through the hordes of enemies in the depths of their Universe.
And just look at that price.
It cost less than one can of beer in my local store.
Anyway, this game genre-wise is a bit further from usual hack and slash titles, because
it has an active pause.
Well, that pause is actually time slowing down, and you can make some quick decisions
in that time.
People on Steam are talking that for this price you should buy at least two of them.
But there is a danger of this game being too difficult for casual players, so keep that
in mind.
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing Final Cut
This is definitely one of the most known Action RPGs out there.
This version of the game is a collection of three stand-alone episodes told as one continuous
story, with six playable classes and a new endgame mode with a huge variety of open missions!
People on Steam are saying that this is a very addictive game.
Not as addictive as potato salad, but there is a huge chance that you will have a lot
of great time.
Although it has some minor problems: lame targeting system and a bit shallow character
builds.
Also you may encounter some bugs and glitches along the way as well.
But anyway, this game is really entertaining and also huge - the campaign is offering over
50 hours of gameplay.
Also if you are in doubt, you can download a free demo at first and try it out.
The Riftbreaker
Here you are the Riftbreaker, an elite scientist commando inside a powerful Mecha-Suit.
Uh-la-la!
You have entered a one-way portal to a distant planet at the far reaches of the Milky Way.
You have a purpose of building up a base that will allow travels back to Earth and continue
colonization.
So you are tasked to construct a two-way rift back to Earth, because living on a planet
without cold refreshing beer or potato salad is painful and that shouldn’t even be a
legal thing.
Although you encounter a bit of a bigger problem than then absence of beer.
Which is monsters.
Thousands of them.
The game itself is a hybrid between Starcraft, Diablo and Satisfactory.
Really great and entertaining game
Titan Quest Anniversary
Initially the game was released in 2006, so it would be outdated by now, but thanks to
this major overhaul it is not.
And it has more than 90% of positive reviews, so please, nail down your attention if you
like games like Diablo.
So if you ever played the old version, keep in mind that here you will get better resolutions,
larger camera distance, multiplayer, mod support, steam achievements, improved enemy and pet
AI, countless bug fixes, dozens of new heroes and so on.
Titan Quest is a great game, one of the most beloved by the Action RPG community and I
couldn’t recommend it to you enough.
It’s literally like a potato itself in a potato salad.
And people on Steam are saying that this is a masterful variation of Diablo formula and
an absolute must-play if you like isometric hack and slash titles.
Chronicon
It looks like a simple 2D game, but an overwhelmingly positive review score should really grab your
attention.
Here you will find 5 large acts each with their own storyline, 4 unique classes, procedurally
generated dungeons, local co-op for up to 4 players, remote play together support, 400
unique items, 900 skills, abilities and perks, hardcore mode and zillion other things.
For many people this is the best ARPG game they have ever tried in their lives and for
some it's very simple and boring.
So, basically it still can disappoint you, but the chances are really slim.
And the price is nice, don't think twice.
Undead Horde 1 and 2
This is an action game with elements of RPG, strategy and hack and slash.
Here you will become a necromancer and you will battle against the living with your undead
minion army.
And, of course, then you will necromance the potato salad out of your dead enemies and
turn them into your obedient undead slaves.
Beautiful <3
By the way, there is almost no penalty for dying.
You just might lose some loot and enemies respawn in the area.
But hey, because of that there are more humans to slay and more loot to well... to loot.
Second part of this game is named Necropolis.
Here you will have to rebuild the city of the dead, or should I say undead?
Living dead?
I don’t know.
Anyways, you shall fight with the alive enemies once again, to secure the darkest future possible
for your undead minions.
Also, in the second part you will be able to command over a hundred units at the same
time.
Which in my calculations is way more than just a regular hundred that you are allowed
to control in the first part.
Weird West
Here you will discover a dark fantasy reimagining of the Wild West where lawmen and gunslingers
share the frontier with creepy creatures.
You will journey through the story of a group of atypical heroes, written into legend by
the decisions you make.
Each journey is unique and tailored to the actions taken - a series of high stakes adventures
where everything counts and the world reacts to the choices you make.
Here you will be often faced with brutal choices and consequences that can't be undone.
Like, you know, when you put too much salt in your potato salad, you can’t take it
out.
Well, actually you can make more potato salad without salt and mix everything together.
So there is no moral here.
Just carry on.
Moonlighter
Here you are a shopkeeper who wants to keep your customers happy by providing them with
various goods.
You can put items on sale, set their price carefully, manage gold reserves, recruit assistants
and upgrade the shop.
Be careful though – some shady individuals may want to steal your precious wares!
The trickiest part is getting the goods.
You have to swim over river Nemunas to Kaliningrad, get contraband and then swim back to the European
Union to get rich.
No, of course I’m kidding.
You have to go to ancient passages to different realms and dimensions, fight various enemies
and collect items from their dead cold maimed bodies.
So romantic.
Anyway here the part where you hack, slash and die begins.
People on Steam are saying that the game is fun, aesthetically pleasing and relaxing.
Yeah, relaxing.
So forget about big challenges, it's an easier game in general.
But hey, it's nice to have something not souls-like hardcore from time to time after all.
Nine Parchments
This is a co-operative Action RPG game of magical mayhem from the creators of Trine
series.
Here runaway apprentice wizards seize the opportunity to complete their spellbooks by
going after the lost Nine Parchments - super powerful spells meant to be vieleded by the
most powerful mages.
So as these newbies rapidly acquire powerful new spells without learning proper safety
measures, it's natural their hasty progress results in plenty of deadly accidents...
Nine Parchments combines real-time spell-shooting action with usual RPG elements.
Here you will level up your character and collect magical loot, filling your wardrobe
with a zillions of wizard hats and powerful staves.
People on Steam are saying that this is a super entertaining game to play with friends:
doesn't matter imaginary or real ones.
Although keep in mind that if you play with imaginary friends, you will need another pair
of non-imaginary hands.
Why everything must be so complicated?
I don't get it.
Nobody Saves the World
When the ancient Calamity re-awakens, who can save the world?
And the answer is - Nobody!
That’s you, you’re Nobody.
Not in real life.
In real life, you are an awesome beautiful person, never doubt that.
Now subscribe.
So here you will master the art of transformation to become a Slug, Ghost, Dragon, a Horse or
someone else.
Like an Egg for exemple.
Actually here you will find more than 15 distinct forms you can become of.
You can mix and match abilities in unexpected ways to unlock and complete even MORE challenging
quests.
You can explore a vast overworld on your own or with a friend online.
This game is not only beautifully drawn, but it's kinda crazy as well.
Just like your sister.
Achilles: Legends Untold
Here you will take control of a man with a really weak heel but with very strong everything
else.
The journey will take you to many different corners of mythological lands where you will
obtain powerful artifacts that will aid you in your quest.
Game has a cool AI system that introduces innovative enemy behavior.
Opponents have unscripted interactions with each other and are capable of coordinated
attacks, sometimes even taking advantage of their surroundings.
Developers were saying that the game is souls-like but not as hard as Souls games so various
Diablo-like Action RPG lovers could play it as well.
So it’s like Sands of Aura, a mix of genres, but I think it is really worth your attention.
Thank you for watching and I will see you soon with another Steam Summer sale video,
don't go anywhere.
Bye!
