In my newest Let’s Play, I check out the turn-based-strategy game Oakenfold from Studio Taghua, a one-person game development studio based in Amsterdam.

Oakenfold is a roguelike puzzler where the hook is a time-reverse mechanic. You can use the TimeScrubber to retrace your steps to outsmart the Biocides (enemies) wrecking the planet. To keep the cargo, you are protecting, you can manipulate them, shove them, drown them, crush them, or have them attack each other. No option is off the table when it comes to finishing each stage.

You can play three different builds, each with class-specific abilities. I highly suggest playing each to learn the playstyles and find the one you enjoy. What sets Oakenfold apart and makes this a must-play for me is the TimeScrubber. I love the ability to test different approaches to each stage and find the best way to solve the puzzles.

Studio Taghua delivers a solid roguelike experience with a twist, and it is sure to please any fan of turn-based strategy games.

I am returning to the Let’s Play series on YouTube with the demo for The Case of the Golden Idol. This game is fun, and it makes me look dumb a few times. I can not wait for the full release on October 13th.

From the Dev, Color Gray Games: The Case of the Golden Idol is a narrative detective game set in an alternate 18th-century England where players must investigate 12 most strange and gruesome mysteries spanning forty years. Something awful connects these tragedies, perhaps a curse on the aristocratic family at the center of the story, or perhaps a deeper conspiracy…

Let’s Play V Rising

In my newest entry in the “Let’s Play” series, I check out V Rising, the new vampire survival game from Stunlock Studios.

From the Devs:

A Vampire Survival Experience

Awaken as a weakened vampire after centuries of slumber. Hunt for blood to regain your strength while hiding from the scorching sun to survive. Rebuild your castle and convert humans into your loyal servants in a quest to raise your vampire empire. Make allies or enemies online or play solo locally, fend off holy soldiers, and wage war in a world of conflict.

Will you become the next Dracula?

Thank you to Stunlock Studios for providing me a key and a chance to play V Rising.
