Earthworms and IronClast – Two art games for weekend!

 

So, I walk to my modern computer. This is Atlas H376. And I try with it in steam a new games. I already pick in my collection allright amount of games. And start to try something interesting. Such art. These two games. Earthworms and IronClast. About style they both are interesting. And about genre -different. Quest and mystics, twin peaks, fog and game three in a row, but unusual. So, I take a notice that first trash games I want to play. and next art games. Today about second type of games.

Earthworms. This is quest. I played few in quests. But as idea they are interesting. You need with mouse to click all over the screen. There is inventory. It is most easy to understand type of quest. It is looks like not hard to play. I can go next without solution. Brother, 1 time, gives advise with computer. He solved the puzzle instead of me. Connect lines. And computer givers some print.

Here we have great beautiful visual style. Artistically it is everything here. Just like it is sleep, dream. By the way, everything is so sunny. And like part of the screen is with glares from the sun. As fog. Or with a clouds. This is interesting style. It is looks like it is good and kind drawing. Calm. This is quest. Not dynamical, of course. And it plays like a dream. You walk here. Doing something. Searching for something.

And about a story it is something strange. As Twin Peaks or Lovecraft. Mystics. And something dangerous! You are private detective. You reach this place with the boat. This is island. You went out of a cafe. And it is a head of animal before your feet. Near the enter. And bloody message at the asphalt. Walk away. So, this is a dream! And here it is something strange. So, it is tricky. There, in a cafe. In basement. Computer. It is connected to some creature. It is almost human. If do not take into account tentacles.  This is like Lovecraft or Cthulhu theme. So, here, there is something wrong. With all these island. Everything is so strange!

Second game. It is IronClast. It is like 1800 something year. Steampunk. Something like France and England with a state of war. And steampunk. So, these are robots here. And Victorian style, something like this, maybe. Visual it is very beautiful. Its own style. Robots, they are with such golden color of iron, metal. Steam machines, maybe. Defend fields. And shooting. Machinegun. Laser, something like a beam. This is about visual part. So, as idea, it is beautiful drawn everything here, just like for a quest.

And game itself it is three in a row. But with its own way. So, you need to make combinations here. Yes. But with lots of parameters. It is not hard to get all the things together. If to watch tutorial. So, you take in a row bullets. Next you shoot. Next you collect energy. Turn on defense field. This way to play. You can walk, with idea - harder to aim at you. It takes energy. So this means, at the game field collect energy, how do you need it. And some amount of turns you have. Three turns at the game field. And next you do what you want. Shoot with machinegun. Shoot with beam. Turn on defense. Walk. It is rather cool!

And this is like action is here about feelings. And Victorian style as quest, it is like this. There are characters there. They speak. It is very beautiful! And something like not tricky game three in a row. But with lots of parameters. And this adds interest! There are different things, variations. It looks very beautiful at the screen of monitor. All these iron, metal parts. Panels. Bulbs. Parameters. Robots themselves. And all that is about them to happen. These are with animations. Wow! I want to say this!

Two this kind of games – art, how I name it. It is so nice I find these games with my weekend!
