Game of the week: Sometimes the best thing is when you give the game away

That is the second time I’ve written this week’s Recreation of the Week. The sport has remained the identical, although. That is the primary a part of the trick. Our sport this week is, after all, Timemelters, by Autoexec. It is the religious sequel to considered one of my all time favourites, Sang-Froid: Tales of Werewolves.

In each video games you play a model of tower defence that is enlivened by uncommon powers and strange weaknesses. You need to defend one thing from hordes of enemies, and also you normally know which path they’ll take. To date, so tower defence. However you possibly can plant traps, and lure enemies off the trail. And weirder stuff too. In Sang-Froid you possibly can kite wolves utilizing your scent. In Timemelters, you are a witch and you may document earlier lives and struggle alongside their echoes, doubling, tripling, quadrupling your assaults.

And people weaknesses? In Sang-Froid, you are merely gradual and a bit feeble. You are a lumberjack with an axe, however the axe is heavy to swing and your stamina would not final ceaselessly. In Timemelters you are the epitome of a glass canon: a lot energy, however just one HP. You possibly can’t take any harm in any respect.
