About a month or two ago we headed down to Gamestart Asia 2017 to check out the latest indie and AAA games throughout SEA!
Playstation was there with a nifty driving simulation booth, rigged with a steering wheel and pedals! We tried it out and it was pretty cool! (Heheh, I won first place~ against the bots but STILL)
There were quite a number of indie game developers there as well, one of which was Stifled! It’s a VR game that cleverly uses sound and voice to create a spooky atmosphere that’ll linger in your mind even after you finish playing their demo. I volunteered Admin Baka as tribute because yea, scary games like these are a no-no for me. u__u
We got to watch her play though and it’s definitely a game to look out for! I also think the tagline for the game is smart, heh.
CAT QUEST! Another game that caught our eye! Imagine an RPG world where you’re the hero helping others in need... only, this time, everyone is a cat! Set off on meowny catventures in an open world RPG, available on mobile, Playstation, and PC!
We got to play a demo and this game is really easy to pick up for all ages! Also, come on, the art is too cute!
We also tried a few of Toge Production’s games, namely Ultra Space Battle Brawl and Magic Cat! Ultra Space Battle is a 1v1 combat game with absolutely crazy characters and skills, hah! My character had a fly swatter for a weapon and I was announcing that I’m swatting away the pests in my life (eg. my opponent, haha).
This is so much fun and laughter-inducing! Would definitely recommend this game for a party!
We also got to build and paint our very own Warhammer figures via Gamersaurus Rex! I’ve never painted a figurine before but the staff onsite were so helpful and very patient with us, heheh. I also got a crash course in one of the Warhammer board game modes - defeating the Zombielord and his minions! Feel free to drop in any time at their store for a figurine painting session, I’m sure they’re more than happy to have you!
All in all, Gamestart Asia 2017 was a fruitful event filled with plenty of games from all over SEA! Trying out the new games were really fun and it’s great to see so much potential in most of them! Thank you Gamestart Asia for another successful event!
