Steam Discovery Queue - Crusade of the Free III

Continuing freebies from last time... the one in bold is the best of this set.

Digital Expo Center: Not a game, but a really cool idea. If this continually updates it might be worth looking into, but I'm not sure if that's the case. It did get me to checkout whatever "Wanted Racoon" is though! Lol!

Game for Anna: A "horror" click adventure featuring many dolls that makes heavy use of photographs and nonsensical logic. Bleh. Maybe Anna would get it, because I sure didn't.

Geadows: Generic future shooter with generic guns and baddies, whom you fight in stages and get upgrades in between. The graphics do it no favors and neither do the holes in the floor that let you fall off the map and never die. Bleh.

Obscura: First person platform puzzler where items only exist to stand on if you view them from a camera, which in theory is interesting since you need to keep looking at an item to stand on it. In practice, having a camera "window" in addition to the regular view is just freaking annoying. Bleh.

Paint Chips: An incredibly messy pixel PvP game where all your weapons are paint related and killing an enemy player (or bot since no one was playing it while I was on) "chips" them. Bleh.

The Shape of Time: Not a game, this virtual gallery features the works of a French artist who put a lot of thought into his interactive time sculptures. I very much enjoyed this one, and bonus points for some capoeira in there. Definitely worth a look.


More interesting that I initially thought.

Sheepy: Cute platformer where you are a sheep hopping over haybales to the light tunes of a lullably. Zzzzzzz.

Slow and Steady: Classic tortoise versus the hare with nice graphics. You are the tortoise, and you need to button mash per step...!? Stupid.

Survival Horror #8,436: Yep, there's a lot of shitty survival horrors on steam - heaps being variations of Slenderman (or insert whatever monster) the Eight Pages (or whatever you are collecting, still usually pages "but now with Hentai"). This one you need firewood and a lighter to signal for help, which makes more logical sense - and the lake setting gives a nice circular area to run around. Only problem? You need to pick up food cubes too or risk instantly dying from hunger. Yep I didn't even get to see if there was a monster here, and with no option to skip the "tutorial" mission - screw that.

Tanks the Crusades: Simple top down tank combat, where tank shells ricochet off walls (and can kill you too in one hit). Some variation too where different colored tanks behave differently. More a puzzle game but the chill music track doesn't really mesh well for me.

Steam Discovery Queue - Crusade of the Free II

Continuing freebies from last time... the one in bold is the best of this set.

Art of Fury - Virtual Gallery: Long load to walk and admire some pretty cool art in a small virtual gallery. No real interactions though.

Ball Adventure Ball Simulator: Platformer where you are a ball rolling on basic shapes with a terrible camera. Bleh.

Bite Sized Puzzle: Tiny game of making cereal and closing drawers. Bleh.

Cuboid Bouncer: In this platformer, be a rectangle that hops on other shapes - which soon start rotating and doing strange stuff to make it harder. Highlight for me is getting the "jump booster" then jumping so high I died because going out of bounds. LOL. Not recommended.

Gordon Adventure: Platformer where you star as Gordon the loser who inexplicably dies if he gets too close to spikes or mice. And by too close I mean 10 feet. No edging closer to make sure you can make that jump, because Gordon will die. Dumb.

Hog Hunter 2021: Basic and quick first person shooter with a hunt during the day and a hunt during the night. Wish you brought a rifle that didn't jam so much though. Worth a look. :)

Last Message: A deadly zombie like infection spreads across the world. Now you are on your laptop which still has power and connected to the internet and.. are basically chatting - because there's nothing else to do right? Points for being different / different story telling medium. I enjoyed sections you step away from the laptop in this short game.


Regardless of the pandemic, it seems toilet paper is always a high priority.

Shatter Keep: Team must escape from keep while being hunted by monster. Many vs 1. Eagle eye view, darkness but need 4 players to start. Long loads. Bleh.

Smalles: A small adventure RPG maker that features: Idle fighting? LOL. Simply wait to level up, then press NEXT to fight next tier of baddies. No point as gains are faster slaughtering the weakest ones.

Snowpainters: Student made penguin racing with paint. Hitting paint puddle gives you a color. If the color matches yours you go faster. Can "sprint", leaving trail of your color behind you (making it easier for similar colors to catch up) Up to 4 players, but you can solo race vs NPCs

Neverwinter Online: Red Dragon Cultist Recruitment

[Part of the Gallery]

Shintar previously asked if there are Red Dragon Cultists in Neverwinter Online, and while they are truly elusive I can confirm they do exist!

I wish we could multi-class!

You can find one for yourself in the Well of Dragons, he spawns in the final wave of the big heroic encounter called Cult Gathering.

Neverwinter Online: Blue Dragon Cultist Recruitment

[Part of the Gallery]

Of the dragon cult groups, this one seems like the easiest to sell, though one always needs to pay attention to the small print...


Also, in-game any enemy with a shield has the same property so maybe it's not such a good selling point after all? Now if the armor behaved like a Faraday cage that would be awesome.

Neverwinter Online: Green Dragon Cultist Recruitment

[Part of the Gallery]

While the Black Dragon Cultists are numerous in Neverwinter Online, the Green Dragon Cultists are quite few in number. I thought it would be due to being more selective...

Turns out they are just dragon worshiping Nazis.

Neverwinter Online: Black Dragon Cultist Recruitment

[Part of the Gallery]

Due to the endless swarms of dragon cultists in Neverwinter Online, I started thinking "how do they recruit all these people?"

Works for Viagra I guess? :P

Eador: Misjudgement

[Interlude of the Masters of Eador Story.]

Just thought I'd put in an art post today, since it sort of deals with what happened in the latest story entry. When playing on low level difficulty (which I do for strategy games as I'm terrible at them) Eador gives you a gauge for any auto-combat events.

While all auto-combat is optional, I certainly used it a lot since the fighting does get repetitive. The only problem with it is...

The initial assessment is usually wrong! :P

Neverwinter Online: Official Sexiest Creature

Not what anyone expected (probably not even the designers). Why?

Because there is no saving throw.
If you look at him when he dances (they're all male) you're stuffed.

Neverwinter Online: Finding a +6 Item

 Not that I've played tabletop D&D in a while...
 
 But I think that would still be the case.

Gallery: How to beat Zhaitan

[Part of the Gallery.]

It's been a while since I did this in game so it might have changed by now, but my general recollection of it went as follows...

The lesser dragons are more of a challenge.

Gallery: Powerslide

[Part of my new gallery!]

Whee I did it! I forced myself to draw something! Very rough but oh well, I'll need some work to get back to where I was and then more again to actually improve. :)

It's the most OP move in that game.

Gallery Works

Just a place where I can store all my masterpieces doodling (*cough*). :P
