Gaming review: Diamantalia

Creator: Kyokoon64 and Lubo.

Story: After getting fed up with the Hetalia casts and wanting to find a better place, Canada falls into a fountain (in a Alice in Wonderland style) and ends up in a mystical world. Where the only four kingdoms are based on playing cards (the Heart kingdom, the Spade kingdom, the Club kingdom, and the Diamonds kingdom). After learning from the Jokers (Prussia and Sealand) that he is the exact copy of the prince of the diamond kingdom that had ran away ten years ago, Canada travels to said kingdom and is mistaken for the long lost prince. There he finds out that all four of the kingdoms are at war with each other and then sets out to try and make peace between them.

Completed?: No.

What do I think?: I think that this is a good game. The idea of creating kingdoms base on playing cards isn't new but it's nice to see a new twist to the idea. Also the fact that the Hetalia cast are the rulers of the kingdoms (France being the king of diamonds for example). I am looking forward for the update for this game so that I can review it as a whole.

Any dislikes?: None so far. Although the part in the beginning with America stealing both of Russia and Ukraine's lunches was a bit too mean for my taste (but hey that's just me).

Final score: Five stars and six happy faces. 

Game Reviews: Pokemon Go

Yesterday I had purchased the Pokemon App for my phone. And I have to say that I really enjoy it. The app in question allows you to travel around your local airers and (while using your GPS on your phone) you would encounter pokemons. And you are given the option to either battle them, capture them, or just leave them. I just tried it out yesterday and I had captured five pokemons. They are two Rattatas, a Pidgey, a Staryu (in a forest which was weird because they are water types), A Weedil, and a Squirtle (which I accidently picked as my starter pokemon). And just today I took it around the town and now I got a Pidgeyot, a Clafairy, a Abra, and another Rattata.

I have to say that this is a really good app. It would make walks more interesting for everyone. But sadly there are downsides to this as well. Like the fact that you have to have a clear WIFI and GPS signal at all times. And the fact that there might be pokemons in places that are out of bounds or dangerous (like back alleyways, swamps, in peoples back gardens, etc). And also you'll get stories about criminals who are using the app to locate victims or those who get into accidents. So if you do get this app always remember to look up more often and be weary of other people. Also the fact that you have to spend real money to get Poke dollars so that you can buy more stuff for your back pack.

But apart from that, I love this app. It makes me feel great to walk around my local airer and capturing wild pokemon. I am searching for the ones on my top twenty favourite pokemons list (like Gengar, Muk, and Raichu). Plus its an opportunity for families to go for walks if you have this. You would also come across gyms, pokemon centres, and poke shops along the way (although they are just random things like buildings, statues, ordainments, a pub sign in my case). But unless you are a level 5 or up, you cannot battle others.

So in conclusion, this is a must have for Pokemon fans of all ages. But do be careful about where you go and don't do it at night, while you are driving, or if you are about to do things like crossing the road.

The Score: Five stars and ten happy faces.

"Catch me if you can!"

Gaming reviews: First Date.

Creator: Kyokoon64.

Characters: Germany, Italy, Prussia, and France.

Story: Germany does something out of the blue and asks Italy out on a date. So it's just them going out for dinner, a movie, then a late night stroll through the park. But things are not easy when Prussia and France both find out and decide to stalk them.

Complete?: The full game is out now.

What do I think?: Like Dreamtalia, this is a good game. The art work is also good and it is also a multi choice game. Kyo had made this game especially for her partner Dignified and you can really tell how much work she had put into this just for her closest friend. And also the events in the game actually echo events that they did together in real life (like making flower crowns). Also of note both Kyokoon and Dignified appear in the game as Easter eggs.

Do I recommend this?: Yes I do. Even though it is a short game, you can replay the levels and see the different paths that were available (even though they are just dialog options). It is nice to see people making things for their love ones. Like the saying goes "The gift that shows the most love is the gift that you made yourself".

Any dislikes?: None.

Score: Five stars and ten happy faces.

Gaming reviews. Dreamtalia.

Creator: Kyokoon64 and friends.

Characters: The cast of Hetalia.

Story: After several people began to fall into mysterious comas, England finds out that a dream demon called a Fauchereve had taken over Italy and is using him as a host. After getting the other nations together, England explains that the only way of freeing Italy and the other victims is to enter the dream world and defeat the Fauchereve on it's home ground. But first they had to free the other victims that are under it's control.

Completed?: Yes.

My views: I think that this is really good. There is a lot of ideas and imagination that were put into making this and it really stands out. Also there is even winks to things from the original manga. Also the idea about entering a dream world is interesting to explore. 

Would I recommend it?:  I would highly recommend you to play it.

Any dislikes?: None.

Score: Five stars.
