Aug 31, 2015  Satellite Reign is a real-time, class-based strategy game, set in an open-world cyberpunk city. You command a group of 4 agents through rain-soaked, neon-lit streets, where the law is the will of.

Price: $22/£30Developer: 5 Lives StudiosPublisher: In-houseReviewed On: GeForce GTX 970, Intel i5-3570K @ 3.40GHz, 16GB RAMMultiplayer: NoneLink:The rain never stops falling on Satellite Reign’s isometric future-city. It’s derivative of countless cyberpunk cityscapes, but an amazingly atmospheric place regardless. Video advertisements cycle on huge billboards, the images reflecting in puddles on the pavement below. Police drones float past, spotlights scanning for trouble in the gloom. Sleek futuristic cars buzz along the roads and augmented citizens roam the streets. It’s like Blade Runner if Ridley Scott had filmed it with a tilt-shift lens.It’s in this dystopian urban sprawl that you, a small corporation with big ideas, must make your mark—which is easier said than done when rival mega-corps and their military-grade security forces have a monopoly over everything.

Starting in the downtown area—a bustling, labyrinthine sea of neon—your path through this open-world city is carved by you. You can do missions in any order, in any way you please.The action is viewed from above, and you control your four customisable super-agents with traditional RTS controls. It’s reminiscent of XCOM: Enemy Unknown, but real-time rather than turn-based. You can dash into cover. Your accuracy in a gunfight is determined by your range and weapon, an enemy’s position, and the abilities of your agents—which can, of course, be upgraded. You can flank enemies to get the jump on them, snipe from afar, or charge in for a melee attack.But while games like XCOM and Shadowrun limit you to closed-in levels, Satellite Reign’s open city lets you seamlessly move from the anonymity of the streets, where you can hide safely among the bustle, to a mission: attacking a rival corp's factory or robbing a bank. These guarded spaces are levels of a sort, but they sit in the open-world waiting to be attacked or infiltrated as you see fit.

If you have the cash you can buy intel to make your life easier: like, say, an unguarded side entrance.It’s daunting at first. The starting area is enormous, and there’s so much intricate detail on those rain-soaked, maze-like streets that you can feel lost.

It’s when you see a thick wall, gun-toting guards, security cameras, and warnings to stay away that you know you’ve encountered somewhere you can assault or rob. Entering a restricted area triggers a GTA-style ‘wanted meter’ with increasing levels of severity, so you either have to stay hidden or prepare yourself for the corp’s security to retaliate.There’s so much intricate detail on those rain-soaked streets that you can feel lostYou have four agents, but that doesn’t mean you have to use them all. The most satisfying moment for me was deciding to rob a bank with the security of Area 51, and managing to pull it off with one character: a Hacker.

I carefully, meticulously hacked my way through security gates, dodged cameras and patrolling guards, and made my way towards the main building. I slipped inside and hacked their systems so that ‘syphons’ I’d attached to ATMs around the city would generate more money. Then I snuck out, and the corporation I just ripped off was none the wiser.That’s just one way, though. I could have fought my way to the main building with all four agents’ guns blazing, then sent my Soldier in to grab a big pile of money for a more immediate reward. There are no interiors in the game: these moments happen off-screen, with a text summary of what your agent did inside.

But considering the size of the city, I don’t mind. Combining your agents’ skills, augs, and weapons, and choosing how to approach a mission, is when Satellite Reign is at its best.My biggest complaint is how the game feels. It has none of the punchy, kinetic weight of XCOM or StarCraft, which isometric, top-down games like this really need to sell their combat—to compensate for your distance from the action. Your agents’ movement is slow and heavy, making battles feel sluggish. It’s a hard thing to articulate in words: it just lacks that slickness that many of its peers have.

It’s also light on world-building beyond its visuals, with a plot and setting that aren’t as fleshed out as they could have been. If it’s an engaging story you want, try the Shadowrun series: this is a game about the stories you create by playing.These are issues that haunt every moment of play, but otherwise, Satellite Reign is one of the most enjoyable small-squad strategy games I’ve played in a long time.

I love how it blends tactical combat with an open-world structure and Deus Ex-inspired freedom. Creeping through a heavily defended enemy base unseen is a thrill, and if things go awry, there are lots of combat options to experiment with.

Messing up is never a bad thing, because adapting and surviving is so much fun. Then you slip back into the darkness of those rain-lashed streets until the heat dies down, and you search the map for the next bank, military facility, or police station to hit.

ReignsBy: Devolver Digital (Nerial)I’ve been having a lot of fun with Devolver Digital & Nerial’s Tinder-like kingdom management game Reigns on iOS, Android and PC. It can be tricky at times, though, and frustrating if you make a mistake you can’t fix.

This includes squandering your one chance to trick the devil. If you want to make sure you don’t miss your opportunity, follow this guide on how to trick the him and get the good ending.

If you want to see the two bad endings, scroll further down. First, you need to unmask the Senator.

Left 4 dead 2 wiki. If someone asks if you trust him, say yes. He might also tell you that something terrible has happened and he needs you to follow him.

I don’t think this part is absolutely necessary to trick the devil, but it does tell you how. It’s also only possible if you’ve met The Lady already.You’ll then get kidnapped by the Senator and blindfolded. Run and follow the voice (avoid the water) until you find The Lady (she’ll have a different name each game, but will look like the photo below). She becomes your love interest and then three years later forces you to listen to her. She then reveals herself as the Senator (you get the Doomed objective for unmasking the Senator). She then explains that you need to make the devil fulfill an impossible task.

Something that cannot happen no matter how hard he tries.Note: Sometimes a promo code is provided for a game, but it does not affect the review in any way.

The elemental symbold that the seer lists are how to get Excalibur, a sword that makes you awesome at dueling. Nothing to do with the devil, as far as I can tell.

I’m playing with the idea of getting the devil mark and then saying yes to thealchemist vase thing. It gives you a prompt when you’re in the crusades that I think might be for the devil. That or maybe the dragon that just hands over the princess in that side quest? I’m not sure if there’s a “Yes” prompt there It is NOT, I confirmed, talking to the Read more ». I THINK I KNOW HOW TO SPANK DEVIL!

So I entered once dungeon and it had different layout. Nornally I would rush to gold room and then to air door, but this time i found torch in the gold room chest. After taking torch, I could see cracks on the wall in neutral room, walking through there brought me to other place. After running madly through doors, I entered acid room, and there were cracks too. After breaking wall I had text card “The room opens on a dark corridor full of coroded air. You hear a series of loud Read more ». If you say no to everyone after the death wish, after 100 years the devil will show up again and basically say that he’s impressed you lasted so long without killing anyone, so he will remove the curse.

Doesn’t count as tricking him though. I’m about 90% certain that it involves the symbols listed on the timeline at years mentioned by the white witch. It seems like a path through the dungeon. Has anyone tried using the death wish to kill the dog?

I’m not willing to go back and play the game a third time right now, haha, but Read more ». I found the symbols in the dungeon in the corresponding order. However, once i entered the door that was before the satanic stars, I fell into a trap! But, what I believe is to be true is that you need to find a TORCH in the TREASURE CHEST in the GOLD ROOM. Although you may find a key to unlock the door in the Air room, I think that if you keep going back to the Gold room, you will find a torch. The torch allows you to discover more rooms that you could before.

I also have seen that Read more ». Okay so i went in the dungeon, got a key, then fought a skeleton and won. I went into a triangle door and it showed this message After that i went into a water door and all it did was make the message “wait what just happened” appear with the same doors showing. I went into the other door and it showed a new symbol.

I went in that door and there was a chest with an Excalibur in it. Then i exited the dungeon. Nothing happened after that but i was able to recreate my steps so try Read more ». I finally figured out how to actually trick the devil- (Spoilers) first, go to the dungeon and keep going into gold doors (avoid arsenic) until you find the torch. Then go into doors in this order: Fire, arsenic, acid, the broken wall opposite gold, the one OPPOSITE OF THE PENTAGRAM, then the pentagram. You’ll talk to a friendly skeleton, don’t run away from him.

He’ll mention strawberries at some point then let you leave the dungeon. After that, start a crusade and when you get to talk to the vase, reincarnate the strawberry.

Go back into the dungeon and find Read more ». Just saw this on Touch Arcade; I think he has gotten farther than any of the rest so far: “Her numbers correspond to icons on the game’s main timeline — fire, arsenic, acid, gold, pentagram, pentagram. Follow those doors in the dungeon — except for gold, break the wall instead, and for the first pentagram, take the.opposite. door. That leads you to Kloc the skeleton, who tells you his story: he was an islander who fell afoul of a powerful mage. And the Mage knew he liked strawberries, so he made all the strawberries disappear.
