Though, your initial attack to an enemy in your attack zone is free. If you want to move a unit, you’ll need to have it in your hand as well as energy. Apart from your main knight, which you’ll lose if they die, mostly everything includes having the necessary card in your hand. With the demo ending with Phoebe and Carlton going to the next town to hopefully solve the volcano problem.įloppy Knights is a turn-based strategy mixed with a card game. They’re planning to enter into a Science Fair, but once they arrive, they find it canceled due to a volcano. You play as Phoebe who built an arm friend computer named Carlton who, with floppy disks, can project tangible projections. We got a new main menu screen and the first look at the story that will accompany the game. Since the last Game Festival, Floppy Knights got an update, and man does it look better than ever. This certainly looks like it’ll be a memorable game.

Funnily enough, there are even end screens if you don’t solve the puzzle, which does give you a hint on what you’ll need to do to get past it. There are also unique panels where you can go back in time to see what happened, and prevent a disaster that prevents you from continuing your journey, look into a different room, and even cause a character to knock stuff over. As you turn the pages, you’ll come across ideas that you can pick up and place back into thought bubbles so the character will do just that. Instead of controlling characters, you more put thoughts into their head. There are also unique puzzle mechanics here. Unless he wants to be shackled to it forever, he must take it to a castle, but the journey won’t be easy and it looks like there are many that want to get their hands on it. Getting the first 3 chapters, we find that Kai wakes up in a field of sunflowers and finds himself shackled to a magical chest. The whole game takes place within a book and is mostly textless as you do get text to put you in context at the beginning of a chapter. I’m definitely going to keep an eye on this one… and occasionally look at the character artwork. Like, in this demo, you’ll have a Turning Point where you only have one charm that leads to a bad ending, but once you go down the other path (with the help of the charm you get in this bad ending), you’ll get a charm to avoid the bad end and continue the story in those circumstances. This is especially helpful as you’ll find charms that you can use while down a certain path. With this system, you also have access to The Chronicle right away, which basically lets you go back to a Turning Point and put in another Charm, as well as letting you see the branching paths you can take. If you look closely, most charms have symbols on them, and they’re used so you’ll be able to put charms that would make sense in a space. When you come to a Turning Point, you’ll come out, back to looking at the physical book, where you’ll put in a charm in the blank space to alter events and rewrite the fate of Beacon Pines. To put this apart and make it unique, you have Charms, Charms, which you’ll find as you interact/examine items and talk to other characters, are used for Turning Points.

Well, it was and this revelation sparked a whole new mystery on what Beacon Pines is hiding. Within the story, you play as Luka as he and his friend, Rolo, decides to see if the rumored abandoned warehouse was true. Anyway, Beacon Pines takes place within a physical book where we go into the illustrations to play out the story within it. I can stare at the artwork that’s featured in this game all day long. Without further ado, here are my first impressions of numerous games: Though, I will put a (*) to games with demos still available in a couple days as things settle from the event. This sadly won’t be out while Steam Game Festival is still live, as much as I would have loved to, so hopefully if any of these catch your fancy, they would have their demos available still or will participate in future events with a demo. As with that information, you can prioritize demos that will be leaving over those that will be staying.Īnyway, I was able to check out some demos for myself and my first impressions on them are right here. Though, I do also wish we are notified on which demos would be leaving after the event. Not only is there a high possibility you’ll be busy, cutting down the time you’ll have, it also depends on the demo length.

If you ask me, having only a week to check out 500 demos is way too short of a time. Some first impressions on the demos I was able to play! Take a look at these 15 upcoming games.
