GamingNexus: Valley lacked any redeeming fun factor to make up for the time I spent playing the game. While the game offers plenty of opportunity to explore a wide world, there is no real story that explains where you are going or where you are. At times it becomes mind numbing and you forget what you are doing. With a lackluster soundtrack to the game, nothing that makes the world interesting, and finding every dungeon and building having more rooms than it really needs it makes you ask, “Why?” At the beginning of the game you were told what not to do by messages on grave stones but after that there was no further direction.
Chris Park: "Postmortem sounds so grisly, doesn't it? I was tempted to call this a retrospective, but that sounds a bit foofy. So here we are. This isn't even a true retrospective, because AI War is still going strong and looks to remain that way for some time.
The time period this postmortem will examine is May 2009 through the end of May 2013."
The Entire Arcen Library is 75% off on Steam until April 22nd, and AI War is part of GamersGate's IndieFort Spring Bundle.
DHGF: It is difficult to explain what kind of game A Valley Without Wind is, the first title is sort of an action RPG/platformer/resource management game. Sort of like Actraiser (congrats if you know that game; you’re probably old too) but with a large amount of additional things to do and pay attention too. A Valley Without Wind 2 is less action RPG and more and action platform jumping game with light RPG elements mixed with a kind of strategy board game. Both are procedurally generated affairs, meaning that the first time you start the game it creates a world from scratch. Create a new world and it will not be the same as the one previously generated.
