Hi, my name is ColdBeer and let’s start with Against The Storm
This is a roguelite city builder set in a gloomy fantasy world. Artistically this is one
of the coolest RTS games I have seen lately... except one thing. Here it never stops raining.
I don't know whose decision it was to make it rain all the time, but as far as I know,
rain is one of the most hated clear-view blocking interferences gaming world has ever invented.
Nobody likes rain. In games where you can fast forward time, when it starts to rain,
almost every single one of us will pass the time as long as it takes to get a sunny day.
Anyway, here you are a pioneer sent into the wilds to establish and manage new settlements
inhabited by smart beavers, lizards, and humans. Your goal is to survive long enough and gather
the valuable resources necessary to rebuild and upgrade your city. It’s the only safe
haven against the Blightstorm — a vile cycle of destruction ravaging everything in its path.
So, despite the rain part, this looks like a great game and I will gladly
try to play it in the future. Orc Warchief: Strategy City Builder
You’re a young Warchief lusting for blood and your warriors want revenge. You will
have to reclaim your lands, rebuild your villages and bring doom to your enemies.
That sounds like a cool setting, but when you look at it... something feels off. And you know
what? We have seen this trailer structure and composition many times already. You know that
fast time forwarding of building construction. For example we saw the same stuff in the Viking
City Builder trailer, which "surprisingly" has no release date until this day.
And also, what is that? Automatic spawning of soldiers?
Something’s fishy about this. I can smell a fraud mile away.
Yeah, I’m not gonna lie, all the red flags are here. Well, we’ll see what the future holds.
Agony: Lords of Hell After all those years we
are finally getting an RTS game for adults. With boobies on every corner, yay! Here you will take
over the chaos of Hell, which was abandoned by its original rulers. Yeah, Satan himself
said "enough is enough, I'm out of here" and now Hell is in shambles consumed with never-ending
wars between various demons and their slaves. Here you will take on the role of the new king of
the underworld and begin the construction of your empire, conquering more land. I mean more hell.
Here full RTS experience awaits you: construction of new buildings, gaining and arming new
followers, developing your cities, spreading the cult of your character among the conquered lands,
ruling over puny humans and powerful demons and fighting mighty lords of hell.
This game looks awesome, I'm really excited about this one.
Fata Deum Waiiiit, did you just call me fat?
Oh no no, don’t take it personally, although you are, it’s just the game’s name in latin,
meaning the Fate of the Gods. This is a god game where you not
only build settlements, but compete with other gods for influence. The more followers
you have, the more power you wield. During the day, use your influence on
the mortals. You can bless and inspire them into good work, or strike fear into their hearts with
terrifying visions. Imagine if suddenly you wake up and see alcohol free vodka or potato
salad with pineapples instead of potatoes everywhere. That is beyond terrifying.
But be wary, the townsfolk have their own free will and they can choose not to believe in you.
Wait what? yeah, but then perhaps then you’d
like to be a tyrant, ruling over a kingdom of blood. So raise an army and sacrifice
your mortals to summon abominable demons. I’m not gonna lie, that sounds really cool.
Gord Here you will Lead the people of the
Tribe as they venture deep into forbidden lands. Complete quests that shape their personalities,
impact their wellbeing, and decide the fate of your community.
If you are brave you can venture outside the walls of your settlement with Gord's
AI-driven quest system, ensuring a variety of challenges to take on.
The main objectives will guide your gameplay, while versatile side quests and random encounters
will send you off into the wilderness to hunt down legendary creatures, uncover secrets about the
Ancients, or vanquish a nasty scourge. All these adventures will grow some balls on your hair.
Game is full of creepy monsters and of frequent violence and gore. Definitely not for the weak.
Manor Lords This is a real
time strategy game which aims to provide a gridless, organic city-building experience
with full freedom of placement and rotation. Game’s building mechanic is based on the growth of
real medieval towns and villages, where major trade routes and landscapes often influenced
how the settlement was shaped and developed. While the game is not set in a particular century,
every building is inspired by historical references from mainly the Middle Ages of
Europe. Yeah, we had pretty awesome architecture back then. Also we burned witches and thought
that the Sun was rotating around the Earth. An entire continent of dimwits.
In Manor Lords fields must be plowed, iron bloomed and the sheep herded on the open
pastures governed by the Lord of the Manor. I guess it’s you. So, you will have to manage all
that well-being and prosperity wisely otherwise your people will be doomed and will die horribly
as they do in every other game you touch. Game also aims to portray battles that feel real,
with large scale unit formations, morale, flanking, fatigue, weather and equipment. For
example your villagers can form a militia, like in Age of Empires or Warcraft 3, an inexperienced
crowd of dum-dums that can fend away some crippled wolf or a wandering pedofile away from town.
Becastled When I played the game I
was really impressed by the graphics, mechanics and the lightness of gameplay in general. And I
do not mean the storage space it takes, which is also ridiculous for a modern game - 1 Gigabyte
of free space that’s all it takes to squeeze Becastled to your harddrive. I literally didn't
expect it to be so tiny. That’s what she said. Yeah, this is a game that doesn’t contain any
additional stuff that distracts you from the gameplay itself. Many developers forget the main
thing of gaming - keep it simple, keep it fun. Nowadays you often install the game and there is
a ton of stuff thrown to your face at once and you have to play an hour long tutorial to understand
at least something. But not in Becastled. This is a simple, nice and beautiful title.
Also it’s made in Ukraine so I just have to say - Putin Khuilo. Слава Україні!
Immortal: Gates of Pyre Developers have asked for 30K
dollars on Kickstarter but instead they have collected 5 times more from 2000 backers.
That shows the hunger RTS fans are feeling, but this time not for potato salad as always,
but for promising real time strategy games. You know, as I always say, a really good
RTS game nowadays is even more rare than catholic priest who doesn't like underaged boys.
Game will feature five factions and developers have said to me personally that all of the races
will be balanced and will work in harmony no matter which combination
of the battles you will choose. In short - Immortal looks awesome, I really
do like the cool looking units, they took time and created something that is not straight from
the cliche book. Although we can see the massive influence Warcraft 3 and Starcraft 2 did here.
Game will be free to play, but you know... all the cosmetics, new heroes and even new factions
will drain your money anyway. And I’m not a fan of that. I like my games to be full from
the very beginning. Arclands
You're a wizard who got banished from home because you rivaled the ruling wizard in power. So,
in other words you are a political dissident. All banished citizens are sent to the Arclands - a
treacherous collection of islands inhabited by monsters which are attracted to everything magic.
That's bad for you and your followers, because you are, you know, a wizard, so the only way to
survive is to grow and fortify your village. You will see it grow from a loose collection
of rugged tents to a heavily fortified city, attract other banished refugees
and discover the secrets of the Arclands. So, basically, you and a few others are probably
political dissidents, but all other banished people are probably murders,
rapists, pedophiles and other nice people who pretend to be a political dissidents and you are
their leader. Frozenheim
I think I can bravely say that Frozenheim has amazing graphics and I was expecting
something like this from Age of Empires 4 instead of the Disney princess cartoon makeup style. This
is how a new game must look like. And it is being made by a small indie studio instead
of a gianormous corporation. Frozenheim is a really bloody
Norse city building RTS game where you have a chance to chop your
enemies like butter or hide like a coward behind huge wooden walls and be as puny as possible.
To prove yourself as an Earl worthy of songs and sagas, you will build and expand a Viking
village from nothing to a rich, unconquerable settlement. Or very conquerable and puny and you
will have to load the game and play again but this time without stupid decisions.
Frozenheim is in early access right now, so you can play it already, but I’m really not
recommending this activity for you now, wait for the full release, be patient. Don’t be like those
guys who are complaining in the comments that Early Access “has almost no content, it's a very
short game and all my archers have died”. Are you retarded or something?
It’s not finished. You stabbed yourself with a fork to the knee and now you are
complaining that it hurts. Of course it hurts, but you did that to yourself, don’t blame the
unfinished game of being unfinished. And if you want to support my channel,
you can buy video games with my GOG link in the description below. All games are
DRM free and they support refunds up to 30 days. Way better then Steam does.
Thank you for watching, have a nice day and I’ll see you next time, bye.
