A Toasty Review: Steam game Fractured Space

Hi there! This is me, NotYourOrdinarySliceOfBread making a video game review of Fractured Space.

Fractured Space is a team based space combat early access game in it's alpha state. It's worth 

$9.99 in Steam and let's hope that it'll stay like that until the game gets finished.
Although, if you got the game when it was featured in free weekend, you'll get to keep the game in your account forever, isn't that amazing?

For an early access and alpha game, it shows a lot of potential to become the next EVE Online like game. It features fast-paced space battles held with ships that you control.
In-game, there are three manufacturers of ships where you get to choose your ship.
First: The United Space Research or USR for short.
The USR's first ship is the Flagship, a large, slow moving ship that can act as the tank of the team as it has high health that it'll take literally at least two or three ships to take down.
Second: Zarek Industrial: Zarek's first ship is the Hunter. The Hunter is Zarek's ship that has average health and overwhelming firepower. It's size is somewhat smaller than that of the Flagship's, but it can also take a lot of damage just like the Flagship. Both Flagships and Hunters can act as tanks in the battlefield.
Third: Titan Defense Systems: Titan Defense Systems' ships are mainly for support purposes. It's first ship is the Corvette, a small support craft. While it can't take that much damage unlike the other two first said ships, it's main purpose is to support it's tanks with healing beams and shields that can turn the tides in-game if used efficiently.

As for now, the game features a single map that has five sectors, each of which can become a battlefield for both teams. The main sectors are the Team 1 base and the Team 2 base. The three other sectors is where most of the battles will occur. Those three are namely the Gamma(middle) sector, the Alpha(right) sector, and Beta(left) sector. (The positioning of the Alpha and Beta sectors depends on what team you are in)

(Mini-map in-game)

As it features 5v5 battles, each team can either choose to have two people in the Alpha or Beta sector, then three at the remaining sector.

There are two ways in which your team could win the game. One is, to gather as much oil as possible by taking control of the Gamma sector and other oil structures found in all other sectors of the map including the bases, or you could simply take control of the enemy team's HQ.

To be able to warp to your enemy team's base, you should take control of either the Beta's or Alpha's bases, marked as red large dots in the mini-map.Once enemies start to attempt to capture your base, the only thing you could do by that time is to take them down. Unlike bases and oil structures in the Beta and Alpha sectors, HQ's can't be recaptured.

As for now, I give this game a rating of 8/10. Everybody who has read my past blogposts knows that I don't rate games that much. I only rate those games that are meant to be rated. Mainly because I also agree with their ratings from other gamers. I only rate games that are SUPPOSED to be rated by gamers who think that it's worth it. And for me, I think that this game is promising. VERY PROMISING.

So, that's it for today this is me NotYourOrdinarySliceOfBread saying, games are meant to be played, not meant to be made for profit. If you make games for profit, you should rather consider getting a job.(That's for those game devs that don't finish and make their games right even though their games shows potential in them).

Man's Bestfriend

Hey there guys! It's me, NotYourOrdinarySliceOfBread! Today we'll talk about something different.

It maybe gaming related but it isn't a video game review. Have you guessed what we'll talk about today?
Yes? No? Well guess no more! We'll talk about: A Man's Bestfriend! And you guys know what that is right? Wait, you misunderstood me? I'm not talking about dogs silly! I'm talking about pizza!
How is this gaming related Toasty? Well, very simple. A pizza could simply be a staple food for a hungry gamer! Now, in today's post, we'll talk about it's origins and stuff like that.

So, first of all... where'd pizza originate anyways?

Hahaha all of you might be wondering where, well, that's simple, it originated from the Italian people.The word "pizza" was first documented in 997 AD in Gaeta, Italy, and successively in different parts of Central and South Italy as stated in Wikipedia. It was said that the precursor of pizza was probably the focaccia, a flat bread known to the Romans as "panis focacius" to which various different toppings were added.

Foods similar to pizza have been made way back at the neolithic age. People were adding other ingredients to bread so that they would make it more flavorful throughout ancient history.
It was said that in Sardinia, French and Italian archaeologists have found bread baked over 7,000 years ago. According to Professor Philippe Marinval, the local islanders leaved bread.

So, how's this gaming related again?
Well, isn't it rewarding if, after playing a fulfilling a game of competitive gaming, let's say FIFA or CoD, you get a slice, or even better, a whole pizza? And also, pizza has been known as somewhat a staple food to gamers since it's easy to eat with just one hand.

(Pepperoni Pizza)

Another thing is that it has almost every ingredient that a man needs to be able to survive grinding through hours of gaming. Let's say playing Bloodborne or looting in Destiny. Since there's a variety of pizzas found in every pizza places, even vegetarians can enjoy pizza! 

(Cheesy pizza)

(Pizza with veggies)

SO! Have you tried eating pizza while gaming? If not, then better try do so because whether you're a vegetarian or you want lots of meat in your bread, you can have any pizza! Isn't that amazing? 

OK! So this has been NotYourOrdinarySliceOfBread saying, whether you're a pro-gamer, a casual gamer, or whatever gamer, don't forget to rest. Sleep, Eat, Play. Rinse and Repeat.

Freefall Tournament : Steam Greenlight

Hello!
This is NotYourOrdinarySliceofBread.
Today I will be making a game review about Freefall Tournament.

Freefall Tournament is a third-person shooter game that has been recently greenlit by Steam.
What's so good about Freefall Tournament that I will make a review about it???
Well first of all, it's free. When I say free, no downloads, no money needed to play( although if you want to help the game dev, you can buy some of their in-game currency packs or even hero packs with real money).
It's also an online game played around the world, so you might make friends or foes in different countries.
It's a web based TPS game that is free to play, but sadly, as the game got greenlit in Steam, it suddenly turned into a Pay 2 Win game, that is a downside of this good game. The game used to have 5 heroes free per week,  but now, the free hero weekly rotation suddenly reduced to only ONE hero per week.
But I must say, I had fun while it lasted.
Another downside of this game being so popular is it's toxic community. People talking trash about how you play or how your allies play, people talking trash about how their enemies play, I mean, a bunch of trashtalkers suddenly got in-game when it became so popular. It feels like it's getting a bit mainstream for a popular game. For example, the online community of CoD. Yes, the famous (or maybe infamous due to it's popularity for the number of toxic players playing the game) CoD franchise, has been a den of toxic players ever since it got popular.
Having a toxic community in a popular game is inevitable. It'll happen as long as your game gets popular. The downside of this? Players will hesitate on playing due to allies and/or enemies judging every move you make, and to add to that, as they judge, they add foul words to their judgments.
Now, this game is a competitive TPS game for players who like to grind on their games, not to mention that players only get one free hero every week.
But overall, I rate this game 8/10. Why 8 Toasty? Well, simple. I just want to say that the game has potential in it, maybe if they have a banning system or maybe a reporting system, toxic players and those who cause the game to have a bad reputation will be banned and will be given a lesson.
And yes, that's my only complaint about the game, it's toxic community.
Nonetheless, try out the game yourself! See if you''ll encounter toxic or friendly players. But just a reminder, if you DO encounter toxic players and they start to talk trash, let them be. Let them flood the chat and make them look like an idiot (lol).

So this has been NotYourOrdinarySliceOfBread saying, be a toxic player and players will be toxic to you.

See you guys next time!

A Toasty review: Mobile game "Out There"

Well hello there! If ever you just wondered through my blog, this is NotYourOrdinarySliceOfBread!
Today I will make a review for the game "Out There"

Out There is an exploration game blending resource management and gamebook mechanics without combat. In my opinion, it's somewhat like a visual novel game for you have to make decisions that will probably change the outcome of the game. Out There is also an award winning game on Steam, which made it more popular to gamers everywhere.

There's not much to say to the story of the game unless I want to spoil it, which I don't want to do, but here is the introduction to the game plot. 

"You are an astronaut awaking in a cryonics not in the solar system, but... out there, in a far unknown place in the galaxy." 

The only goal for this is for you to survive and reach your destination, a star that is somewhat "calling" onto you.

I rate this game a perfect 10/10. This game is PERFECT for those who can strategically think while venturing unknown places.

Here are a few screenshots of me playing (and sucking in the game) the game:

As seen in the last screenshot, you will encounter alien life forms as you progress in the game.

The game is worth $3.39 in the playstore.

And once again, this has been NotYourOrdinarySliceOfBread saying, sometimes gamebook games are far more interesting than your mainstream shooter or action RPG games out there (see what I did there?).

feel free to like, share, or comment in this post.

Have any suggestions on what you want me to review in my next post? feel free to suggest in the comment section below!

Any suggestion is VERY helpful.

See you in my next post!

Robotek

Hello, this is NotYourOrdinarySliceofBread.
Today I will make a video game review about Robotek.
And once again, this game is made by that cool studio, Hexage.


The Humanity had fallen.
In the great robot uprising, machines took the planet over.

Robotek is a turn-based, slot machine, strategy, action- RPG game.
Let me explain it to you guys.
The player(you) always clicks the slot machine first.
You have three choices to choose from every turn.
You can produce soldiers at your command, use perks that could protect you from enemy attacks, or use devastating attacks to damage your opponent.



If you get only one symbol in one turn, it will give you another extra turn.
When you get three soldier symbols in one turn, it will turn that soldier unit into a level three elite unit.This goes with the Tankbot, the Drone, and the Droid.
Just a brief explanation of what are the purposes of each unit.
Drone: It is a well balanced flying unit that shoots twice when it is level one. Each level increases health, damage, and how many times it will attack.
Tankbot: Although it is not your strongest attacker, it is your strongest defender, Each level increases it's attack damage and health.
Droid: This is my favorite unit. If you get an elite Droid, you already have the advantage. It's purposely made for attack. It can literally turn the tides for you IF you can defend this little guy from strong enemy attacks.




As you level up, you gain skills that may also turn the tides when used wisely.
Rapid Fire: This is a skill that when used, it would make your robots attack TWICE. Best used when you have an elite Droid, or all the THREE units on elite.
Emergency Repair:This skill repairs you and your robots when activated. Best used when you really need it and when your opponent doesn't have the capability to deal too much damage.
Summon Hero: This skill summon's a hero of random unit type. It would be helpful to use this when you don't have any robot to defend you and attack the opponent.
Nuke:This skill is basically what it's name says. IT'S A NUKE. Do I have to talk about it that much? No. All I can say is that it could turn the tides best when the enemy doesn't have a firewall. AND IF EVER THAT BOTH OF YOU CAN UNLEASH A NUKE, LET YOUR ENEMY NUKE FIRST. Why? Well, just look at the scenario, if both of you have the same amount of health, same amount of robots to defend and if the enemy nukes first, you will lose all your robots, the enemy robots attack you, they gain EXP and might even level up. NOW, it's your turn to NUKE. You get to produce new robots, you NUKE the enemy robots and the enemy mainframe, your robots attack the enemy mainframe giving them EXP. Now take a look at the situation, both of you and your enemy devastated, low on health, the only difference is that YOU HAVE EXP'ed ROBOTS AT YOUR SIDE TO DEFEND YOU. You see that? That's simply called tactics and strategy.



Ok. Moving on to the gameplay screenshots that you guys maybe craving for, here they ARE:

 Ok, so that's that huh. That's everything you need to know about Robotek. The last pic shows you in-game purchases that could help the game developer.
Once again this has been NotYourOrdinarySliceofBread, sorry if my post was late, due to some restricts in my schedule, and this might happen in the next few weeks too. But hey!
