Super Smash Sells Fast, Surprising Nobody
As the titles states and as reported by Polygon and many others the new Super Smash game is the fastest selling in the series on the fastest selling console of this generation, and it should surprise absolutely nobody. Smash is the most popular fighting game in a system that has had very few and is full of the most popular characters gaming has ever seen. With the following, the series has and with the fact that the Switch is quickly catching up to the Xbox One which has been out far longer the only surprise would be if this didn’t sell more. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Idle Champions Of The Forgotten Realms (PS4)
Idle Champions is just what the name implies, an idle game. You pick a level and your characters will simply walk and fight monsters and collect gold. You can use that gold to recruit and upgrade your heroes so they do more damage. This will let you kill stronger monsters to collect more gold. This sounds like an odd choice for a console game sine with multiple screens on a PC you can let it play while you work or so other stuff and simply do stuff when needed, and I don’t doubt that is what people do.
The game does allow the player to attack with the Circle button. The faster you hit it the more damage you can do. This isn’t why the game is interesting tho. What makes the game somewhat interesting is the fact that where you position your heroes matters. Some give bonuses to everyone in a row, another has a higher attack if nobody is standing in front of him. These are just two of many examples.
At the end of the day, however, this is still a free idle game. Progress at times will screech to almost a halt if you aren’t willing to drop a few bucks. You can eventually get passed it since the game will continue to collect money while you are gone but it can take awhile. The game is fun in an odd way, but only for some people. It is, however, free, so it truly is no risk. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Kingdom Hearts 3 Final Battle Trailer
Okay, let’s ignore the fact that Donald has a gun in that picture. The Final Battle trailer is over 3 minutes of more questions than answers about 6 weeks before we finally get the game may have waited for close to a decade to play. So sit back, and enjoy.
Red Dead Redemption 2 Online Revisited
So after the most recent update and the fix of the in-game economy, I decided to revisit Red Dead Online with a friend that just got the game. Also, thanks for the free money and gold Rockstar. I used it to create a posse. I have to say some of my biggest complaints are still there but we will get to that. The economy feels much better, for example after a couple of story missions and some hunting I had enough money to buy a new gun which before the first update was not at all true. This was huge for me because finally, I could feed me and Thor (my horse) and not be bankrupt.
Tho sadly many of my complaints are still there. Really there isn’t much to do and the stuff there is to do many times is quickly ruined by other players. Hunting is kind of a chore since people will randomly shoot you and your animals despawn and people tend to hand out near the butchers.
Some of the weapons that are locked at higher levels also seem a bit odd, for example, the bow being locked at around level 9 or 10 seems weird considering its the best way to hunt and the fishing rod is locked at an even higher level. So if you just want to hang out with your friends in the world and hunt or go fishing it is not going to be a good time.
All that being said Rockstar has an excellent history of supporting their games and we all know there will be plenty of adjustments and things added as time goes on, and the game is still fun regardless. The potential of robbing banks and trains with friends is still exciting, so we just need to be patient. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Magic The Gathering Arena
I have a small history with Magic the Gathering. I played quite a bit when I was younger with friends, and by younger, I mean like 20 years ago. So yes, we are going back away. Then I saw a commercial for this and thought why not check it out.
Graphically it is pretty nice, each card is nicely crafted and it is clearly established what each one does which has been a problem in a few card games I have played in digital format. Many times the print is too small and you end up guessing what to do with it.
Another nice thing is the tutorials explain very clearly what you should be doing and what the rules to Magic are in the first place. The game is easy to play and understand in this format and it is quite nice. Tho I will admit it doesn’t really feel the same as holding a deck in your hands and talking to your opponent face it face and sadly this cannot be replicated. Fans of Magic, however, looking for a fix would probably enjoy it and I think those looking to learn would get a pretty good grasp of it, but it is far from perfect. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Rain World v1.7 Arriving For Nintendo Switch — STUBBORN| FUTURE OF MOBILE GAMING
The game is finally releasing for Nintendo Switch. Rain World is a survival platformer video game initially launched in 2017 in which the player has to control a part-slug, part-cat creature searching for a hostile, derelict world for its family. The slugcat ebris as the weapons to escape the area of randomized enemies, forage for […]

A pretty great article from a friend. Good to see the Switch getting some love with Rainworld.
Onrush (PS4)
Onrush is one of this months free games for PSN and admittedly I wasn’t too happy at first. Soma isn’t exactly popular here at Savior Gaming and I am not a huge fan of racing games. Onrush, on the other hand, isn’t even truly a racing game. This will take some explaining.
First, there isn’t a starting and finish line, you simply go. There are two teams trying to score points by making each other crash or even crashing the random cars also on the track tho those are so much easier to crush.
Second, not every race is the same. Some will have you cruising through checkpoints to add time to your clock while attempting to stop the other team from doing the same, scoring points by not letting your clock hit zero.
The controls and graphics are amazing and easy to look at. It is actually quite easy to see why this game has such a cult following. The music is pretty great as well with a nice soundtrack.
The game isn’t perfect tho. Admittedly you can only crash cars for so long before you want something else to do and pretty much everything is existence is locked, from clothes to tricks to even gestures and it takes time to unlock them. This isn’t a deal breaker, but its enough to put me off. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Left Alive: Gameplay Trailer
After what feels like months of waiting, we finally have a gameplay trailer for left alive, and honestly it kind of looks like The Division.
I don’t mean that as an insult by any means. Graphically it looks beautiful and I love any game that allows me to make choices that matter tho admittedly it makes me realize why I shouldn’t be allowed to make choices in the real world. I am a bit worried the game will primarily be escort missions involving getting people to shelters but I suppose in a few months we will find out. Until then enjoy the trailer, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
The 7th Guest: The Board Game
The 7th Guest was a PC game originally released back in 1993, which you can still purchase over on Steam believe it or not. It has some mixed reviews but overall it seems solid enough and tells the story of, quite simply a mansion full of puzzles and toys. You will attempt to spend one full night there and the winner gets their hearts most secret desire. Their Kickstarter page has a ton more info.
This is where the board game comes in. It is for 2-6 players (ages 12 and up) and can take one to 5 hours depending on the rules you play with. This seems pretty cool because sometimes honestly I am playing with my friends while having a few drinks and we just want something to do while having fun. We want something to do for 4 or 5 hours. Other times I am playing with my kids and they do not always have a huge attention span so 1 or 2 hours is great.
The game itself is largely puzzles and logic test for you to solve to advance which the other players can steal ( and you can steal theirs) This all sounds pretty simple but of course, nothing in life is. There seems to be some twist and turns such as spaces that will toss you someplace else or force you to unlock extra rooms on your way to the exit.
A good sign in all this is the game is actually being created by people like Rob Landeros and Charlie McHenry, the people that founded Trilobyte games and created the original game, so if you happen to be a fan of the game and are worried this will deviate too far from your beloved 90’s memory I don’t see that being an issue. They even started to design the game from the ground up around the original map of the PC title. I have spoken to them and it looks like the game will be shipping in January so as you can see I am finding out about this a bit late. Savior Gaming doesn’t even normally cover board games, but this one just seemed pretty cool and I decided to share it with you guys. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
