Adventures in the Android App Games Store

Heyo. Zed here. I’ve had a look through the Android App store in the Games tag. This took two days by the way of constant note taking. I’ve found a long list of games I’m going to have to look into. Expect commentary, opinions and reviews of most of them. It might take me a while to get to all of them.

The Games tag I’m sure has more of these that I haven’t found yet. I’ll give the list for now here. I’ve picked the games I want to play by the images of gameplay they have. Typically if I don’t see any images of gameplay in the sales page I skip the game because I don’t know what genre it’s in. Most or all of these are free with in-app purchases.

Solo Levelling Arise


I think this game’s name might have translated into English strangely, but we can guarantee that Solo Levelling Arise has single player, levelling mechanics and things that start off higher in space than they started. It looks like a fantasy RPG from the sales page. I’ll try to grasp this variety of English later.

Nexus War Civilization

This looks like it has cool robots. Like really cool robots. Like art inspiration about robots doing cool robot things. I don’t really care if it has a plot or makes sense. It looks cool.

The Legend of Neverland

Games have been trying to make the soft pastel colour level map thing work for a long while. One of them is going to get it right. This example of that genre looks like an Anime themed fantasy RPG with a huge open world map. Now that sounds like fun. Hopefully the combat and gameplay live up to the Anime promise.

Warhammer 40,000 Tacticus

Eventually, statistically, someone is going to make a good Warhammer 40,000 game. I have no idea what the gameplay in this one looks like but I am hopeful that it is that game.

Harvest Town

Cute pixel based farming simulator with towns, ships and a lot of NPCs. At least that’s what I can tell from the sales page.

The Elder Scrolls: Blades

The Elder Scrolls: Blades is made by Bethesda. Bethesda are also the same people who made The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. If this game is anything like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim then it will be amazing beyond words and deserves to be loved and played forever. I’m getting to this one last because it might take ten years to beat.

Eternium

I’ve played a bit of Eternium about a year ago before I got back into Minecraft. Minecraft is fun and so is Eternium. I didn’t get far but it’s a top-down level based fantasy RPG with a ton of loot options, crafting and unlockable powers. It also looks fun and long.

Old School Runescape

I got my start in the fantasy RPG market back when Runescale Old School was new and everyone was playing it. It was impossible to beat, had no coherent plot, had a currency that was impossible to get more of and I loved it. I will play it again. I just hope they made the inventory management and currency easier to do.

Four New Recipes for January

 Hello. C J here. I've got four new recipes for everyone here. We have everything from Chinese chicken to homemade hot apple cider. Enjoy. The Emperor’s Potatoes Here we have the first food item I ever finished designing for Food of the World – Carthia. I tried three combinations of traditional Asian ingredients and pasta under the assumption that I was doing Italian-Chinese food for the book. I could not for the life of me get any of them to be exciting. They were fine. I don’t eat fine. I got bored of the pasta thing and then thought to myself, ‘what happens if I swap the pasta for another starch? What about a potato?’ It worked. Really well. It worked so well I named them The Emperor’s Potatoes. They’re mashed potatoes and I left the skins on because I like vitamins and then that got me thinking about the traditional medicinal food of Ancient China, ginger. Could I put ginger in a potato dish and have it work? Yes. I can. That surprised me. Be warned, these are almost dangerousl...

Recipe - Lemon-Lime Soda

 Hello. C J here. I have here a recipe for homemade lemon-lime soda. This beverage is just as sweet as the original brand it’s based on but has actual lemon juice and lime juice in it. It tastes similar but not as acidic. Strangely this recipe worked the first time I made it. It’s mostly glucose syrup, which any chemist with my knowledge of food could make in a home kitchen. The recipe makes four cups, each one to be served over ice. One cup is mostly enough for one person. Ingredients One Cup Sugar One Half Cup Water One Tablespoon Lemon Juice Three Tablespoons Lime Juice Two and a Half Cups Soda Water For the Glucose Syrup Mix the sugar and the water in a medium saucepan. Put over medium heat and stir frequently until the sugar is dissolved and the liquid is clear. It should still be thicker than water. For the Soda Measure out two and a half cups of soda water. Pour into this the glucose syrup in a heat proof one quart measuring cup or other heat proof vessel. Add the lemon juic...

Chocolate and Barbecue Sauce and Truffles Oh My

 Hello. C J here. I've got two new recipes for everyone today. I meant to type up a third but for the life of me I can't find the paper index card I wrote it down on. I will have to make it again and post it later once I double check I have the right proportions. I know what's in it but the proportions are done by taste. It's for Asian style ginger baked beans as part of my Asian-barbecue book I'm working on. The book might actually end up being cards for the card game because the recipes are so simple they fit in that format. That makes my job easier. Here's our two recipes for today. The first is a new Asian style barbecue sauce I invented from scratch. This isn't based on an existing sauce. It's the product of a lot of planning and research. It's great. The second recipe is for my final draft scratch made dark chocolate. This stuff is good. I still have some of the batch I made three days ago on hand. It's too tasty to eat. There will be a mil...
