  • Mornin’! A Nice Day For A Fishing RPG Adventure!

    Mornin’! A Nice Day For A Fishing RPG Adventure!

    If you’re a fan of the hilarious web series Epic NPC Man by Viva La Dirt League (VLDL), or just someone who enjoys a charming retro-style RPG with a unique twist, then you need to cast your line toward Nice Day For Fishing!

    This game is more than just a fishing minigame tacked onto an adventure—it’s a full-fledged role-playing experience where the simple life of fishing becomes the ultimate battle to save the world.

    Who is Baelin, and Why is He Saving the World?

    For the uninitiated, the world of Nice Day For Fishing is the pixelated realm of Azerim, a loving spoof of classic fantasy RPGs created by VLDL. Our hero is Baelin, the humble fisherman of Honeywood, famous for his perpetually cheerful and concise greeting: “Mornin’, nice day for fishing, ain’t it!”

    When the actual heroes of Azerim mysteriously vanish, it’s up to Baelin—suddenly reprogrammed to accept quests and level up—to step out of his NPC role and become the hero. His task? Defend Honeywood from a fishing-related threat, naturally!

    Gameplay: Not Your Average Fishing Trip

    Forget the calm, casual casting of line you might be used to. Nice Day For Fishing features an engaging blend of RPG progression and rhythmic fishing combat.

    • Epic Fishing Battles: Battles take place under the water. You control your lure, using precision timing and magic spells to battle aquatic adversaries. It’s less about waiting for a bobber to dip and more about strategic engagement with challenging fish.
    • Upgrade and Customize: As you progress, you’ll upgrade Baelin’s gear. Your fishing rod is your weapon, your boat is your steed, and your hat is your armor. You can mix and match gear to focus on attack damage, defense, or utility, creating a Baelin build that suits your playstyle.
    • Explore and Rebuild: Explore the enchanting lands of Azerim, from the Honeywood forest to the Azerim coast. You’ll fulfill quests, save locals, and gather resources to rebuild the town of Honeywood, unlocking new equipment and quests from the newly returned merchants.

    A Love Letter to VLDL Fans

    This game is absolutely packed with references and inside jokes that fans of Epic NPC Man will adore. Familiar faces like Greg the Garlic Farmer and Bodger the Blacksmith are all here, with their signature quirks playing a central role in the quest lines. Bodger is, of course, constantly losing his grandfather’s hammer, and Baelin is the only one who can help!

    While the game is an absolute delight for VLDL veterans, newcomers can still enjoy the humorous writing and solid, retro-inspired gameplay. The jokes land even if you don’t know the source material, and you might just find yourself heading to YouTube to catch up on the Epic NPC Man series after playing!

    Final Cast

    Nice Day For Fishing is a charming, funny, and surprisingly deep adventure game. It perfectly captures the heart and humor of the VLDL skits while delivering a unique and addictive fishing-focused RPG experience. Whether you’re a long-time adventurer in Azerim or a curious newcomer, you’ll find plenty to love in this pixelated adventure.

    Platforms: PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Microsoft Windows, and GeForce Now.

  • The Oath to Reclaim Camelot: Why SWORN is the Co-op Roguelike You Need

    The Oath to Reclaim Camelot: Why SWORN is the Co-op Roguelike You Need

    The legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table have been twisted into a nightmare. Camelot has fallen, and the very king who swore to protect it is now the source of its corruption. Enter SWORN, the adrenaline-pumping, 1-4 player co-op action rogue-like that plunges you into a dark and beautifully rendered Arthurian nightmare.

    A Dark Retelling of a Classic Legend

    Forget the chivalrous tales of old. In SWORN, developed by Windwalk Games and published by Team17, you are a Soulforged knight, one of the few who still possess the will to fight. Your mission is clear, but deadly: explore the ruins of a fallen Avalon and ultimately face a corrupted King Arthur and his twisted Knights of the Round Table. This dark fantasy setting, inspired by the distinctive comic-book art style of Mike Mignola (of Hellboy fame), gives the game a unique, moody, and captivating atmosphere.

    Action-Packed Co-op Combat

    At its heart, SWORN is a frantic, isometric action roguelike, drawing comparisons to the addictive, fast-paced combat of games like Hades, but with one crucial difference: co-op play for up to four players!

    • 1-4 Player Co-op: Battle solo or unite with your friends. The co-op experience shines as you and your companions must combine your unique character strengths and abilities to overcome the increasingly difficult challenges.
    • Thousands of Builds: The core of the replayability lies in the sheer number of build options. On your runs, you will swear fealty to the Fae Lords—figures like Titania and Oberon—who bestow over 200 unique blessings. Combine these Fae Blessings with your character’s weapons, skills, and abilities to forge powerful, run-defining synergies.
    • Deep Progression: While the runs are temporary, your growth is permanent. Upgrades earned at the Beacon of Avalore will forge your squire into a stronger champion over time, making each death a meaningful step toward victory.

    Wield the Power of the Fae

    The true magic of SWORN is in the Fae. The blessings you receive from the Fae Lords are game-changers, allowing for incredible build versatility. Will you focus on building a character that unleashes the cleansing fire of Titania, or one that strikes with the furious winds blessed by Oberon? The possibilities are vast, ensuring that no two runs—solo or co-op—feel quite the same. The constant pursuit of the perfect, overpowered build is what keeps players coming back, run after run.

    Ready to Take the Oath?

    SWORN is an exciting entry into the roguelike genre, offering a familiar yet fundamentally different experience thanks to its focus on multiplayer. If you’re a fan of fast-paced action, deep build customisation, and dark fantasy, and you’ve been waiting for a game like Hades that you can play with friends, then it’s time to take the oath.

    The journey to reclaim Camelot from the corrupted King Arthur and his knights is a glorious, ignoble path of constant death and rebirth. Will you and your sworn companions be the ones to finally break the cycle?

    SWORN is available now on PC (Steam) and consoles including PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
