Hearts of Iron IV Review, Sort of.

I call this a Hearts of Iron Review sort of because this one of those games where honestly if you play it for 20 hours (like me) or even 40 you probably aren’t truly qualified to truly review it. I can tell you about it of course, for example, it is a grand strategy game from Paradox or that the game basically starts just before World War 2.

I can also tell you that you will need to research new technology, build both civilian and military factories and when it comes to war it only becomes more complicated. You will be drawing front lines for your troops to defend, telling them where to attack as well as managing how when and where your planes will be attacking. That isn’t even touching on all the things you will need to do with the Navy at your command.

The issue is this all sounds like its pretty simple, but even getting the general idea on all this could be rough. I lost in the tutorial for example. Not my finest moment in gaming. Recently playing a game with my friend went a bit to hell. (Hey Cody how are you) we ended up starting a massive 3-way world war as I lost 500 thousand men in South America (I was North America) to Guatemala and El Salvadore. This was before I ever made it across the Atlantic to join the fight against Germany that as you can imagine, did not go much better for me. I am not very good at drawing front lines and such yet, or keeping my troops where I want them. Or building my divisions.

There is so much to learn here that you will want a friend to play with probably, and youtube will be a godsend when you try to learn. I haven’t even touched the Focus trees and how you can turn some countries from one country into another form entirely. For example, I turned America into a fascist country so I could invade South America in hopes of uniting with the UK in taking over Europe. I failed at invading Cuba, but it is what it is.

All in all the game is a blast to play and learn, but it will take some patience. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

La-Mulana 1&2 Hidden Treasures Edition Preview

La-Mulana Hidden Treasures Edition is a new game announced by NIS America due out in 2020. This Castlevania style game has a pretty interesting art style and I really enjoyed the music from the trailer. (below) This isn’t my normal type of game, but I am sure many of you will enjoy it. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Pokemon Masters (mobile)

Pokemon Masters is the newest game to hit the mobile market, and this time around we have a huge tournament where the best trainers from around the world have come together for 3 vs 3 tournaments. You will start out with a Pikachu and with two partners, Brock and Misty. You will then use all 3 pokemon to battle 3 other pokemon choosing which pokemon will use which attack in a sort of real-time battle that uses one gauge to determine how many attacks you can use. Each attack takes up a certain amount of the bar and you will have to wait as it charges,

After spending a couple hours with the game I have to say it functions far better than I expected. It is smooth and the battles are pretty fun while the story is pretty much what you would expect from any episode of the show itself. This can be good or bad depending on how you felt about the show, but it is a far cry from lack of story in Pokemon Go, which we all know I love. I am not sure how long I will play this one for, but it is in my rotation for a bit at least. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Two Legends Return In Physical Form… — All The PlayStation You’ll Ever Need.

Think back to a time where the innocence was the focus. A time where the graphics of today evolved from. Look at your own reflection. No matter how alone you may have felt, have you forgotten who you are? Who you were destined to become. It’s time to go back to the Pride Lands and…

Star Wars: Rise of the Skywalker D23 trailer

Well, if they were trying to keep us guessing, they are doing a good job because I don’t know what the hell in going on in this movie so far. Beside most of the trailer being stuff we’ve already seen, I am looking forward to the rematch between Rey and Kylo Ren. My question, look most of the internet’s is, how the hell did Rey go Sith? Her compact red dual bladed saber is pretty cool but I can’t help but kind of groan after seeing her turn; while kind of a Mary Sue, I do genuinely like Rey as a protagonist and I liked her arc in The Last Jedi (second opinion) . While my interest has smouldered a bit, I’ll still check out the final entry in the Skywalker saga. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Pantsu Hunter Back to the 90s (PS4)

I got Pantsu Hunter from the guys and gals over at Ascension Dream, and as always I greatly appreciate it. I honestly was a bit nervous about playing this one, in fact, I kind of thought this was going to basically be softcore porn on my PS4. Seriously I was expecting a poorly written cash grab of a game. This is actually pretty far from the truth.

First, the story. You play as a college student that due to being super busy and into his studies has had a hard time in the love department. He has also had a few jobs and become a sort of jack of all trades. He does, however, have a theory that you could tell all you need to know from a woman by studying her panties.

The game is broken up into different scenarios where you are doing jobs for assorted women, each with their own personality. You have two jobs, fix their stuff and steal their panties. Some will be hidden behind tricks or in drawers and you will have to find different ways to get the ladies out of the room to get the job done.

There is one small detail, you can greatly upset the women. In the first 20 minutes of gameplay, I was drowned in a bathtub, tossed out of her apartment, had the police called, was killed by a chair, beaten with a mop and an assortment of other things. There are tons of possible outcomes, at least 50 ranging from death to falling in love to everything in between.

The game is also pretty easy to get a platinum trophy on, so you trophy hunters will want to pick this one up. The art style is also extremely well done and the story is pretty well written. On the flip side, the game can be frustrating and short. If you knew exactly what you were doing I imagine you could zoom through it in a couple hours tops. Without a guide tho you can probably stretch it out about 10.to  I, however, have no regrets about playing this game and admittedly I was way off in my snap judgment about the game. It isn’t for everyone, and unless you are trophy hunting or like point and click adventures I doubt you will like the game. Both of those groups tho, this is a must buy. I give this one a 7/10. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Jessi Combs 1980-2019

By now many of you know, but just in case Jessi Combs, former host of Xtreme 4X4 as well as Mythbusters passed away in a tragic Jet-Car accident while attempting a land speed record. She has previously held records for this and this attempt was reportedly trying to hit around 500 miles an hour. She will be greatly missed by many, and we at Savior Gaming hope the gaming gods bring her and her family peace and glory.

Star Wars Episode 9 poster revealed

star wars episode 9 Along time ago in a galaxy far far away some Star Wars fans complained J.J Abrams ripped off Star Wars when he did The Force Awakens . I personally disagree; I’d say he paid omage to it but there was enough difference to have it be it’s own movie. But I digress. When I see this poster I immediately think of a poster I’ve seen for Return of the Jedi or rather “Revenge of the Jedi” as it was originally going to be called.

rev of the jedi The poster For Skywalker looks pretty but I can’t help but wonder how much of will be a Jedi retread. Also, another point I have to ask because a friend pointed it out, are we the only ones getting a Lion King vibe from the poster? May the gaming gods bring you glory.
