Go Fight Fantastic - First 2 Chapters | The Blob People Will Rule the World?
Переглядів 364 години тому
Honestly, we were having good fun with Go Fight Fantastic, and if you're a solo player, then this might be more of one to consider, but sadly, we experienced too many de-sync issues to make it enjoyable Co-Op. That being said, there are still some great aspects to the game, so don't write it off if you prefer this genre and style more than us. Make sure you tell us your own thoughts on Go Fight...

Oh man that black and white dream sequence 😢
It was definitely a twist we weren't expecting!
Lightyear Frontier is great! My wife and I have been playing almost every day.
We've enjoyed our time with it as well! Just waiting for new content now 💕 thank goodness for early access 😁
Wow, I really enjoyed you and Ducky's video about this game and I just really loved the overall creativity about it as well! It's just truly unlike any farming sim I've seen before, and I love how even though it's very sci-fi themed, it still has quite the mix of nature behind it as well. I also really enjoyed both of your commentary about it and how it seemed you two were really having fun with it too! 😊
We have a blast together and prefer these more casual games most times, so we genuinely enjoyed it. Best thing is, it's early access so we'll still get more content 🥰❤️
This sounds like a really interesting concept. DND players may find this a lot of fun. I’m going to be suggesting it to other half as a new game for him. Thanks for the review.
It's definitely a fresh new take on the genre for sure!
By the way you're playing, one can tell that some big monkeys possess a higher IQ. 😝
what is the game in the intro where you can customise your home and town? its at 0:24
That's Critter Cove! We have a video featuring the play test if you're curious to check out more gameplay ❤️🫶
@@thepillowfortgaming thank you so much!
@@miinnoo Happy to!
there s no demo
It was part of LudoNarraCon, so it's down for now, but it's likely it'll come back from Steam Next Fest
i have waited so so so long for this game to come out.
Seems like the wait has been worth it if the full game is even 80% as good as the demo 🥰
I've had this on my WL for a while and I'm sooo excited for it. Not that I have anything against them, but it's nice to see a witchy game that neither combat centered nor Stardew-esque or super cartoony. But I wonder if there's going to be voice acting in the final release?
It seems unlikely it'll have voice acting, but admittedly the ambiance of the game was beautiful, so we didn't miss it. We're extremely excited for the Full Game!
Honestly, we wish we were better at this game then we are, it's a challenge for sure! To those who are looking for that, then you've found it Feel free to ask any questions or share your own experiences with the game in the comments, we're happy to respond!
Have you tried Tamarak trail yet? It's a great twist on the Deck-Building Genre for sure! Feel free to ask any questions or share your own experiences with the game in the comments, we're happy to respond!
This is definitely one to watch if you're a fan of story-rich games full of heart Feel free to ask any questions or share your own experiences with the game in the comments, we're happy to respond!
Ah, thank you for your kind words. We are grateful you enjoyed the demo 🐾
It's a great little game you've got going!
Despite this one tearing our heart open, we can't help but admit we're enjoying the eerie atmosphere and world they've created, and the intriguing story that only keeps your curiosity growing as you progress. Feel free to ask any questions in the comments, we're happy to answer!
We are very happy to hear that you liked our game. It makes all those years of development worth it! Thank you for covering our game.
@@whalestorkinteractive6743 Happy to share it! Anything that can dig into the human mind is always something we enjoy here
While we chose not to continue ourselves, we still think that fans of the anime / hack n slash genres will find a ton of enjoyment in this title. Although its relatively short, it's not one to cross off your list entirely. Feel free to ask any questions, we're happy to answer!
Honestly, for fans of Dungeon Crawlers & Hack n Slash, you've got a good one on the horizon! Feel free to ask any questions you might have in the comments, we're always happy to answer
If you're a fan of Life Sims with an Eerie twist, then this is one to get on your Wishlist quick. Feel free to ask any questions, and don't forget to subscribe before you go as we'll be seeking to cover Reka upon its release
We really hope this one puts out an update for their camera soon, as we were having a blast with the overall themes and gameplay mechanics of the game. Feel free to share your own experience with the game in the comments, or ask any questions, we're always happy to engage!
Fun lil stream with fixer-upper game play, cool mysteries, and falling mechs 😂
Truly a good time 😁
Definitely reminiscent of Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door vibes.
It definitely has those feels!
Is there an animal farm in the game?
There are chickens and cows, yes! It's a simplistic format though, just collect their resources and feed them once a day.
I am so happy I found your channel. Such lovely games. It’s the perfect little corner of the interweb for me.
We're so happy to hear that! 🥹🫶❤️
We've honestly had a blast with Echoes of the Plum Grove and the diversity of gameplay it offers. Whether you want a hardcore survival Sim experience with cozy graphics, or a true cozy game with no survival mechanics, you can play your own way Feel free to ask any questions or share your own experiences in the comments, we're happy to respond!
Honestly I used to play that game 2 years ago and they promised a lot more and couldn't keep up with new stuff (idk why or how) and bc off that Kindred ran out of money and had to fire the whole team so right now it is mostly him alone. Sadly he now is redoing things that he should've thought about beforehand, instead of adding the new areas and such like promised. He also let kickstarters massively down as they still didn't receive what was promised. I also was a tester around 1,5 years ago and back then they worked on 2 areas and one didn't make it into the game yet (haven't checked in game and was basically as the area goes done back then). It is fun, sadly I feel like the way it is going now is not the right one. But I agree the beginning (up to the farmland) is amazing!
Yeah, they were transparent when they contacted us about the state of their development. As we were told, they're a family attempting to finish it despite the lack of being able to pay additional workers, so for right now, it is just them working on it. Sadly, sometimes this is just the nature of indie games. If they don't pan out the way the devs imagined then stuff gets cut or removed. It sucks. Especially if Kickstarter backers are involved :/ hopefully they can get some stuff fixed and then added soon... Seems like it has a ton of potential with the right resources 😅
@@thepillowfortgaming oh that is fantastic that they were so open. and yeah I hope so too and it def has the possibility to be awesome as I really loved it. So I hope they stop making overhauls for now as they can also be done once the game is finished.
@@queemagda as they say, if it's not broke, don't fix it 😅 though sometimes in game dev you have to overhaul an entire system to add in upgrades or new features, so let's hope it's just that 👍😁
@@thepillowfortgaming i hope you are right. Thank you for the really nice conversation. Made me subscribe! 😊
@@queemagda Always happy to! We started doing this because we love sharing our gaming experiences / relating with others over the games we play, so you can always feel free to comment / engage / ask questions here!
Despite the lack of a map, we truly did enjoy the experience that Promenade offered and think any fans of the platforming experience should give it a serious look Feel free to ask any questions you might have, or share your own thoughts in the comments!
Hey, that one looks a lot like me....( ゚ Д゚) ...THANK YOU very much for sharing! (°◡°♡)
Happy to! It looks like a lovely game you've created so we had to feature it ^.^
What mic do you use?
We use the Elgato Wave 3, but we do some manual touching up in Premiere to remove any background noise and "pops" in the mic. That being said, we also have our office fairly sound proofed with wall foam, so we also have our setup conducive to good sound quality ❤️
Do you happen to know if this is steam deck verified because I only play my steam games on my verified
It is not Steam Deck verified as of right now, no. That being said, it's highly likely that the 1.0 release will be, but it's still in Early Access for now
I’m so looking forward to being able to play more games in the near future! Oceanarium World, Nerobi, little kitty big city, endless ocean luminous, little known galaxy, Sunny side and surmount all peak my interest! 🤩
SunnySide is one we're excited for for sure!
I stuck at the exact same Position at the end of the Video. My problem is, that my wall jump doesnt work in the hub, and now there is no way i could leave this area. Anyone have the same problem? I dont wanna restart the whole game 😢
We ended up not reviewing the game as we had too many bugs to continue, so sadly, we'd be unable to help with this 😔 we didn't get any further than the video shows
omggg what song is used at 21:50? i need to hear it again!
We used a few songs from this mix for the video! <3 ua-cam.com/video/_hl571bJLzk/v-deo.html - It should be timestamped to the song you're looking for ^.^
would like to see more since I'm kinda stuck can't find the last plant spot at cliff paths also missing 5 from giant grove can't find a way to lava zone and can't get to probe 22-A7 (if I remember it correctly) since I haven't unlocked the 4th pillar things
Are there more zones to cleanup that will allow you to unlock the 4th pillar? 👀 I know sometimes the map layout can be tricky at best... Giant grove in particular has a few spots tucked in the side areas that we wouldn't have found without stumbling upon
@@thepillowfortgaming I'm not stuck anymore I found few spots at giant grove that were a bit hidden as you said I kinda stumbled upon them and also I was kinda blind and didn't see a path that leads to 22-A7
The jumping is too floaty, and I also hoped to enjoy it more. I may drop it soon.
It definitely has room for improvement overall
idk how this got on my fyp but i'm glad it did, nice video
Glad we could make it there and have you happy about it!! 😁❤️ Thanks for that!
Yay, thank you so much for including Little-Known Galaxy. It's crazy to be featured with all these amazing titles and we're counting down the days to release!
It's hard to ignore how much heart your team has put into the project! We're happy to feature it ❤️
Thanks for mentioning Reus 2, so many cool games in May! ♥
It's our pleasure! Looks like a blast of a god-game ♥ And yes, May is a stacked month for sure lol!
Surmount, Baladins, Synergy, foundry all looked cool. Realistically I’ll only have time for 1-2 games so Little known galaxy and SunnySide might get it but I may look to see how the others are doing and wishlist them
We're in the same boat 😂 even if we wanted to cover all of them, we'll be forced to choose 😭 But, it'll be a good month for sure ❤️
Despite having it out a day late, we're still ecstatic to bring you another fantastic month of releases! We found some true gems buried in the pages of the Steam Store, and it's our hope that you'll find something unique and fun to keep you busy this May Feel free to ask any comments, or just share what you'll be playing this month! We always love to hear
I tried and refunded the game. The 'fighting' part was no fun in my opinion. And, as you said, I had difficulty keeping my hunger down.
Its definitely not for everyone. You have to really be into the Roguelike genre. It takes a while to get to the better combat styles and that's just hyper typical, but not the most fun for a lot of people haha
This has become a game I can't stop playing. It's got that "just one more turn" (day) quality where it's now 4 hrs later. And since I was living on Florida's gulf coast during BP's Deepwater Horizon disaster, the subject matter certainly resonates. I've tried a few farming games, but they haven't grabbed me. Pixel art's stylized up/down motion makes me a little queezy, and with poor eyesight everything kinda blurs anyway. So the classics have been no go for me. I also don't like when the graphics of characters are displayed as children, no matter the portraits. Kids that romance, get married. Don't like it. (I'm 70 yrs old and have been gaming since the '80s on my Amiga.) So I tried this one and can't stop. I'm on my 4th playthru that's reached Yr 2 and I'm still seeing new cut scenes. The interface is clean with plenty of hotkeys. Just a great work and May 20 marks the 1.1 update. Can't wait.
Yeah, we'll be officially reviewing it after the new update releases, but you're not wrong, it's extremely addicting! Every time we get down into the waters and start cleaning and tell ourselves 'last day' it just becomes another, and another... and pretty soon you're wondering why it's tomorrow LOL
The Chinese cultivation spiritualism is extremely complex. I've put 295 hrs (just a noob) in Amazing Confusion...er...Cultivation Simulator, so I've had an intro to the subject. I'm hoping Immortal Life is kind of an ACS-lite. Thanks for the good vid.
We've also recently jumped into The Lost Village which offers a much deeper level of management and control over the entire sect (sort of like this one but obviously it's more of a management / roguelite then this one is) + puts the cultivation of each member into your control, so the level of complexity is intense. It's a subject we've loved learned about through the gaming outlet, it's so intriguing and yes... extremely complex!
Lovely review <3
Ty!! 🥰
Are you like us, so absorbed by how well detailed the management aspects are that the rough translations didn't bother you? Or do you need a more polished experience? Feel free to share your thoughts or questions in the comments, we'll be happy to respond!

Hi--Hate to bother you but may I have the title for the game in the beginning? The one where you build a house.
Hey! Never a bother ❤️ that's from the Upcoming Game 'The Ranchers' and one of our personal favorites among upcoming 🫶
@thepillowfortgaming Thank you very much..I just subscribed to you. Again, I appreciate your response.

I just found out about this game today and it definitely looks like one I want to play!
