3 interesting new games on Steam

pontifex · Apr 17, 2013

La Mulana - http://store.steampowered.com/app/230700/

One of the reviews:
"Nigoros La-Mulana is like Castlevania: Symphony of The Night spliced with Dark Souls. It is long, it is tough, it is involved and it has puzzles thatll make your brain bleed."

Orion: Dino Horde - http://store.steampowered.com/app/104900/
Sci-Fi FPS vs. dinosaur horde game. Nice graphics and gameplay looks fun.

Monaco - http://store.steampowered.com/app/113020/
not sure how to describe it, just watch the video.

How do these games compare to FarCry 3 or Crysis 3 or Metro: Last Light?

"Orion: Dino Horde" actually came out a year ago, except it used to be called "Orion: Dino Beatdown". It was a shitty game and the developer was upset with the poor reviews, so he mad a few minor alterations and re-released it with a new title. http://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/1cib51/orion_dino_beatdown_renamed_to_orion_dino_horde/

They're budget indie games. Not in the same league as FC3 or Metro. Maybe you could look at the gameplay videos and trailers, and decide for yourself?

They are AAAA titles compared to those 3

I mean really...if you have to ask...you probably should just stick to your AAA title FPS's. 2 of them aren't even FPS's to begin with...

My problem with some indie games is that alot are like a hipster concert that exists only to prove you are hipster.

Like all games, not all indie games are actually good, however those that are tend to disprove the "graphics are above all else" mentality.

yeah, not sure wtf this means...a good game is a good game, whether indie or mainstream. problem is, mainstream games that are actually "good" and not just "good-looking" are few and far between. Of course there are crap indie games too, but you won't likely spend $60 to find out...

I guess I'm a hipster...rock on

Orion looks interesting...anyone played it and how is the single player campaign?

WiseUp216 · Apr 18, 2013

I was interested in Dino Horde after watching some videos. I like co-op horde mode games.

Then I looked at the total number of players over the last few months and realized it was a waste of time. It was something like a max of 200 players. It would be tough to find games to join.

It's a multiplayer game. There's no singleplayer.

ImpulsE69 · Apr 18, 2013

Man i wish someone would make a GOOD single player dinosaur game

I just mean the presentation is sometimes better then the game for alot of those indie titles...because the presentation is REALLY good. I mean, they make a 2d sidescroller that looks like a Contra re-make look slick and modern.

I only said what I said because some of those previews make me salivate, but I have to step back and realize it could still be mediocre because all I see is the band and parade.

Otherwise I wouldn't have any savings

was looking at la mulana. I was itching for a good platformer and this looks to be it.

Anyone interested in going in on a 4-pack of Monaco? I wasn't planning on buying it at first, but it seems to be getting rave reviews everywhere. It'd be $11.25 if anyone wants a copy.

Edit: All gone.

Rhezuss · Apr 24, 2013

Check out Eador, it's pretty cool but a bit slow.
Good mix of TBS and RPG.

AlexAL · Apr 24, 2013

Remember me looks cool but we'll have to wait a little bit for it.

It's getting slammed on GoG, and most the games there are constantly raved about.

Edit: 2 gone, 1 more left.

ill take the last copy if you still have it. PM me.

Also, the dev for monaco just started this thread on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/1d1owi/a_little_heist_game_called_monaco_came_out_on/

In orions defense. From what Ive heard, the game was released too early and the reviews suffered because of it. They fixed the issues, and may now have a MUCH better game (i have no idea), but no matter what their review score will not change, and will forever be based on the initial reviews. Therein lies the problem of reviews, in that reviewers cannot go back and change the score they gave.

Ive bought games on steam that had the same problem - initially the game was pretty crappy, but the issues were fixed, and its a MUCH better game now (even though its metacritic score is like 6 or 7). This goes both ways, as games like sim city, and diablo 3 got great reviews initially, but if reviews came out a month after release, they would have seen the issues that come up with both games.

I think an actual good indie game that is recently released is Dont Starve.

Made by Klei Entertainment of Shank and Mark of the Ninja.
I havent tried it myself but I saw some lets play on youtube and it looks pretty good. Quality indie.

lupi · Apr 25, 2013

Better yet, a good SP dinobot game!

Well...most games nowadays are getting slammed.

But Eador:
Slammed by some that can't run the game...probably the same that have bugs in every games they own...due to bad rigs and hardware imcompatibilities
Slammed by gamers who read before buying and knew it was a Genesis remake, bought the game anyways and complain it's a remake
Slammed by others that legitely don't like it and back their statement with constructive comments
Liked by those who like games
Loved by sentient beings that knew what they bought
