GamerKnights have reviewed Massive Chalice.
Here is a snippet:
"In my first game, I found that after about 100 years, I’d managed to fumble my way into only producing children who would grow up as drunks, of a single hybrid class that was utterly useless in most combat situations. Oops. You also need to manage your research and buildings, and assign heroes to your buildings effectively, but it’s never really overwhelming to manage. The main issue is managing the turn-based strategy battles which make up the remaining portion of the game. When the Cadence attack, you can only defend a single region at a time, meaning that you will lose regions over the 300 years before the Chalice is charged up."
The Humble Day of the Devs Bundle 2022 just launched. It includes sixteen items including Psychonauts, Brutal Legend, Broken Age, and more.
Tom Chick - "For the first time since I’ve been doing these lists, which is probably ten years or more, over half of my choices are from independent developers. It’s an encouraging development. When you consider the movies chosen by critics on any given year, you won’t necessarily see the most popular, and you probably won’t see the most profitable, or the movies with the biggest budgets. Instead, you’ll see lists that include the best of independent cinema, arthouse releases, or at least the indie branding from the major studios. When the best of the year skew towards people who aren’t beholden to stockholders, it’s a sign that a medium is maturing creatively. Leave financial success, hollow fun, and the pursuit of pure entertainment to the corporations. Leave thoughtful design, innovation, storytelling, and creative impact to the hungry men and women with something to say."
