I did not sleep well last night. I cannot think of a good intro this week. Oh well. These games do not really deserve one. As always these “reviews” are written with 100% bias and without actually playing the “games” in question.
This is a platformer about a pig named Conan. Conan wants to find truffles and other treats that help him gain powers to defeat his enemies. Who cares? There is nothing special about this game. It looks like crap and I would be willing to bet it plays like crap.See, this is the thing with Steam Greenlight: crappy games with nothing special mentioned. The point of Greenlight is to tell people WHY they should vote for your game. This game looks like every other mediocre platformer ever. More so, this game is an extension of a free flash game. Why would I want to pay money for this if I can already get it for free? Especially since the description does not detail what is different in this paid version. Tell me why this is worth my time, even though it most likely is not.
Best Comment: Dragon: “This looks really bad. The 3D doesn’t match the 2D. The pace is far too slow. The characters look like melted plastic and the music is depressing.”
Don’t Forget Our eSports Dream
Gamers are idiots. They will spend their money on so much crap. This is just another crappy, anime dating sim, but this one is about an eSports team. Yes, a team of very attractive people playing videogames professionally. Sounds just like real life, right? I mean, it must be since the game’s description boasts “an authentic story that is both true to eSports fans and relatable to a general audience.” Oh, and that spelling error is not a mistake on my part. That line was copied straight from the Greenlight page. This game lives in a fantasy world that eSports is like 50 times bigger than it actually is. Nobody cares about eSports. I would say nobody cares about this game, but it some how already has close to $25,000 raised on Kickstarter. Gamers are idiots.

First off, I cannot wait for this game to be taken down for having a title too similar to Dark Souls. That is inevitable. In the meantime we can make fun of how stupid this looks. I remember when this idea was first attempted on the PS3. The game was called Lair and it was crap then. Wait, this game allows you to play as different types of dragons: black, red, green, and blue! Wow, so amazing! The developer could not even think of fake dragon species for this game. The dragons do not even have unique skill sets or abilities that differ between the colors. The colors are the only difference between them. This has to be one of the laziest games ever submitted to Greenlight. Somehow the developer thinks more than one person will ever want to play this game and the inclusion of a multiplayer mode is justified. It is not. Nobody will play this crap.
