Minion Masters is a “free” game on Steam that is free in all the ways you would expect it to be free. It creates a unique experience by combining card-collecting with tower defense gameplay, but it fails to provide an interesting enough experience to justify its pay-to-win mechanics.
Playing My Steam Library
So many unplayed games in my library… Let’s play them all!
The Slow Death of a Queendom
I kept playing Kingdom: Classic this week in an attempt to see if I could complete the game. I didn’t get that far, but a run I had showed me how to play it better.
Going Back to Kingdom: Classic
I’m back in the default world, so back to playing through my Steam Library once again. I already played the sequel to this game, so it’s interesting to go back to the original and see where it started.
The Husk of a Horror Game
This week I played a game that started out great, with a dark and creepy atmosphere. Unfortunately, though it gets the lift-off right, it fails to deliver on the landing. The horror is quickly lost, and the game devolves into a tedious slog that loses its grip on the player.
Finding A Hidden Tutorial
I’ve been playing more Cthulhu Realms lately, attempting to learn how to play better by finishing the hard campaign. It was only after beating my head against the hard campaign that I discovered the achievements are the real way to learn how to play.
Death of the Android Race
The Space Crew fight their way across Alpha Centauri against androids left behind by the Phasmids wiped out near Earth. Seeking revenge for the death of their creators, the androids are a threat to humanity’s colonies in a new solar system.
Space Crew Versus Androids
The Phasmids have reprogrammed cyborgs originally created by humans, and now those androids want revenge! A new Space Crew must battle its way through the Alpha Centauri system, against a new foe with new abilities and an unknown end goal.
Building a Base in Africa
Despite playing X-COM: UFO Defense a lot more than other games when I was a kid, I’ve never actually made it this far. Bad things are happening in my campaign, but I’m having some successes as well.
X-COM: Resist Restartitis
I’m making some progress in my X-COM campaign. I’ve had some great victories, but some things are starting to go south. I really want to start over, but I’m trying to resist that instinct. Because you never know how a campaign will go until the end.
A Month in X-COM: UFO Defense
I’ve been revisiting an old classic. One of, if not the earliest PC game I ever played. As a teenager I would plan out bases and send soldier on missions in an attempt to repel the UFO invasion.
