Caveman Warriors is a throwback game through and through. It will appeal to many gamers for the same reasons it won't appeal to others.
It all comes down to a game that, while not terrible, isn't going to set the world on fire.
There is a certain portion of the gaming population who want a more complex experience, which this expansion certainly adds, but I'm not convinced it adds depth to the gameplay in equal measure. If you are itching to go back out into the void and stake another claim this expansion will give you more of the content you want. However, if the core game didn't win you over, Jupiter's Forge isn't likely to prompt further investment.
I left my two soldiers who burned to death behind, I couldn't be bothered.
There is a fantastic game buried in there somewhere and one good patch and a price drop are all it needs to be worthwhile.
Few games have combined rail shooting with rhythm game mechanics and yet Aaero showcases just how well they fit together with a combination of tight controls and excellent music.
This is a pack for both pinball enthusiasts and Bethesda fans; one or the other is not enough.
While not utterly broken, it doesn’t do anything to stand out from its peers so there isn’t much reason to pick it up.
Instead of challenging twitch reflexes and harnessing learned strategies, Rive often relies on surprise confrontations.
The world looks a lot different from a goblin’s perspective and the adventuring heroes look like monstrous sociopaths.
The ghoul king can crush almost every lone unit in the game and has great support spells as well, he is tragically under-rated.
It is nearly a third of the price of the main game, and it contains nowhere near a third of the content.
These juxtapositions are what makes this game so great; it is a constantly shifting experience which is easy to pick up, but difficult to master.
The game just bleeds style it carries through nearly every facet of the experience.
The mechanics are solid and while the moment to moment action is a bit repetitive, the steady grind to level your characters is surprisingly satisfying.
