So I thought that I would make a show that runs on a monthly basis. That's our plan right now called Roach Review, where every month we look at some of the most viral and some of the most popular trailers that have come out that are games that you might not really know about, games that might not have a huge budget, but games that still might deserve your attention. And this is going to be our first episode, our pilot episode of the show. And I don't know exactly how all this is going to go. I'm not sure. But this is the first test. And I want you to bear with me here. give me one second. I'm going to make sure that just so this is as perfect as possible,

I'm going to turn off my AC as well, just so we have the ground noise at all, and everything should be perfect. And I should be able to survive for an, oops, just a second, I should be able to survive for at least an hour, right? And anyway, gentlemen, it's melting time. It will be in about 30 minutes. So, yes, anyway, this is the first episode and the first one of Roach Review. So anyway, guys, we can get started whenever you're ready. Oh, I think at the screen, yeah, okay, let's do it. Where he came from. Oh, my God. Again.

Yep. And these were all voted by fans and viewers. Can we turn the volume up? But if you think you can stop him, you're already dead. I cannot wait for this game, dude. Oh, my God. game is today. Yeah. It's coming up pretty soon now, actually. It is. It's fun? Yeah. I remember watching the first trailer for this. Throw a grenade. Jack this into my bangs. Once is coming. I don't know.

I don't know if they have a trailer for. And look up many of the units they have, too. Holy shit. And by the way, I haven't seen a lot of these trailers. I hope he can save his own. A lot of these are all new. I had the council take out all the games. Concepts goofy, but the tech is actually insane. It is. 2000.

Guys, come on, guys. Let's get it out. What is this? Terra volumes higher than you? Maybe take it down like 10%. Yeah, that's Kingmakers. Obviously voted for that one. You guys voted for that one.

And yeah, we are going to be taking more applications. for judges as well. And I'll link that at the end of this. And we can just keep running them, right? You don't even need to worry about, like, waiting for me to stop talking. I can say pause if I need to. A cathedral, the rot won't touch. What is this?

Struck from every math. Standing still. Oh. Oh. It's actually good. Not a surprise. This is my viewers. Yeah.

Oh. Flying fatties. None of them left. Isn't this this game where you can make like a... do you like combine weapons? No, it's not. Oh shit. Man.

It's a demon of like greed. The Vatican rarely tells them which... Wait, the Vatican? And those who took too much? It's playing a concept? I thought I could, but now I can't. Maybe I tried this one out. I haven't seen anything really about this game at all.

It's like Remnant? I see. Oh, this is the new update. And this one's already out. Holy shit. In 15 languages. I wonder how they did that. It's a big mystery. Maybe I should try that one out. And this one's also out right now.

Holy shit. Looks pretty cool? Yeah. Huh? What the... Guys, y'all really... Y'all really had to pick out those bullshit games, huh? What is this Minecraft dark and darker? Jesus Christ.

Really? Are these players? Like, I... I don't even know if these are, like, fucking actual... Damn. That's actually kind of cool. Okay. Mm-hmm.

Hmm. Okay, that's cool. I like that. What do you guys think? Yeah, I'm wondering if any... I wonder if any of these are actual players. I think this is just a... Yink.

Interesting for sure. Oh my God. There's a talent tree, of course. This looks like it was made with, like, high-tail. Oh. Adventures of Sir Kixelot? God damn. Damn.

What do you all think? All right, let me see this. The Kingdom amongst thieves. I'm assuming that's what it says. A tiny hero must overcome. I think I've seen this before. I think this is on like one of the other shows. Guys, I'm gonna be real.

Not enough cheese? Shut the fuck up. I feel like the nostalgia is, uh, it's upgraded. From like Super Nintendo and now it's up to Nintendo 64. Because now all the people that grew up on Nintendo 64 or 30 years old now. Yeah, I would play that. That actually looks really good. The last boss is me.

Oh, okay. I thought I was the main character. You cheese the bosses? Man, shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. You cheese the bosses. You might have to ban him. Yeah. One HP Studio. In Norrie. They animated this whole shit?

Oh my God. Damn. I've played a lot of these. Guys, definitely, yay. I'm gonna be real. I would play a lot of these games. I'm still finishing Nine Souls that I'm gonna do, and it's not out yet. I'm gonna be real, like, that one actually does look really good. Looks like an update of a game you played?

Yeah. Is it out yet? No, it's not. Bro, you're too old for that? What do you mean? Like, I played so many, like, dude, I played Metroidvania's when it was Metroid and Castlevania. What the fuck are you talking about? Absolutely not.

Nine Souls is cool? Yeah, I liked it a lot. Did y'all really try to vote this one up, so I have to play this fucking game? on screen. Yes. I mean, to be fair, I should have played it. I don't think that... It's not even out yet, though. Is it right? I don't know.

I'm going to be real. Whenever I play this game, I'm going to throw everybody except for the hot chicks off the bridge. Yeah, you're gone. Uh-oh. Who's this? Oh, it's a duck. Oh, that's fine. Oh, look who it is. That looks like me.

Mm-hmm. Just like game tickets, please? Yeah, papers please. I didn't play that one. How would you not want rabbits? I am Goose. Great game. Is it really? Yeah, I remember saying this.

Oh, it's still on wish list now. And yeah, you guys are going to be able to wish list all the games, too, by the way, on our website. We're, like, building that out, but we wanted to do the first episode first before we did that yet. But that's coming. It's coming very soon. Made Cafe. Wait, is this? This better be what I think it is. Where the hose at?

These were all voted by my, uh... By my, my chat. This is what they wanted. Become a maid cafe manager. This is... Oh, my... Oh, my God. 10 out of 10?

Yeah, bro, you got it. Good one, guys. Great idea. No, she's definitely the hottest one. The mate. Man. A lot of effort. Yeah, that's great. Honestly, that game probably would be fun to play on stream. It looks like one of those like simulator style games. A little too over stimulating. Yeah, maybe a bit. Can you pet them? Yeah, you should be able to pet them. Obviously.

Varen's call. The world of later is entirely shrouded by darkness on the outside. We turn it up to it? Whilst these incredibly hostile areas are known as the forsaken realms. Okay. Which as you may have noticed is the name of the universe. We have metering. It's meticulously crafting. Your first steps within the forsaken realms will take you to the veil of Varin,

a city on the brink of collapse, and the first of a narrative-focused adventures. You'll step into the boots of a lone mercenary, seeking to answer Varen's call for aid and maybe earn some golden glory along the way. This is a Kickstarter. Okay. It's clear that Varen needs a hero,

and every hero needs a way to slay the countless fantastical beast they'll encounter. Is this like Fable 0.5? range of play styles, offering you the freedom to combat the unknown in a variety of ways. Whether you prefer to be a nimble-footed archer, flinging fireballs between arrows... What the fuck? Or face your foes toe-to-to-as-to-as-wielding whirlwind of death. The choice is yours.

Wow. The game's classless system means you're never locked into playing a specific way. You have the ability to adapt, alter, or completely switch play styles midway through your adventure. Unlock and spend perk points to obtain new skills and abilities. and level up your mercenaries core stats by gaining character experience. This game looks awesome. Hidden chests throughout the world will reward you with a range of weapons, armor, and unique trinkets. Some provide unique effects to help you gain an edge in your next combat encounter.

I think I'm going to play this. The local level of South Vale acts as a hub. This is insane. That provides various amenities for you to further develop your character. This is the game I told you about? Wait, really? And the dismantling bench to deconstructing. obstruct items for materials.

The spell crafting table can be used to increase the power of your magic. Oh my God. Everything from an area of effect freeze attack that stops the enemy in their tracks. Jesus. Ripping up the ground from underneath their feet with destructive force. Use the trap making bench to upgrade and unlock new traps and gadgets. Oh my God. Nice compliment to your arsenal, allowing you the opportunity.

This is, it has bad reviews on Steam, does it? I mean, how? This looks great. This can be used for custom brew a multi-rengthy. What the fuck? Planishing health and restoring stamina to curing yourself of nasty status effects. These concoctions are sure to aid you on your journey. Okay, great.

Equip that shiny new helmet, purchased that slightly overpriced magic spell you always had your eyes on, and upgraded that new polybaster barrel to the volatile variant that has even more boom. Okay. You're ready to get back into the fight. Holy shit, man. But maybe you want a change of pay. Okay.

Yes, yes, you're supposed to be the hero and save the city. But heroes need breaks too. Besides, there's... Reviews about performance? And quirky characters from all walks of life need your help with their problems. I... Of course it's voice acted too. ...volved in a murder mystery.

Helping a local peacekeeper catch the criminal behind the death of her beloved friend. Uh-huh. Or maybe you're on a mission. to rid Varin of the Ghanomi scourge that plagues the city all because a crazy guy in an outhouse called you a hero What the fuck? Maybe we should stick to the main task at hand after all

It does look a bit clunky Yeah I think so Varen's call is soon to release on PC With full controller support Varin's call On consoles at a later day Our game is inspired by classics Like Fable and the Elder Scrolls

Yeah that's what I was saying Like your kind of adventure Consider heading over to Steam And adding it to your wish list To stay up to date with us This game looks so far. This is, I think, the most promising one I've seen. I like this one a lot.

It's expensive. It's expensive. Beals PCs or shit? I might try it. Yeah, this actually, this is the best one that I've seen so far. Like, I'm, like, shocked at, like, the scope of it, too. Like, you have, like, farming and, like, all this other shit, too? Oh, my God. That's awesome.

Improved the animations, and it's good? Yeah, I think it'll improve, right? And apparently it came out two days ago, too. Holy shit. Man. We played this on release. After like three or four years, it finally is out.

Dinosaur souls? Yes. Played this? I did. That's where I stopped right there. I beat this guy, then I had to stop. This is better than what I thought was going to be, honestly. It played better. That boss is actually pretty hard.

The game's super underrated. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Didn't beat it? I feel like I did really well on this game, actually. Wait, Demo. Wait, no, I thought the game was fully out. Yeah, yeah, I'm pretty sure the game's fully out now, actually. Because I played it, and I didn't beat it, though, to be fair, I didn't. This might be harder bosses.

Yeah, I enjoyed it a lot. Looks clunky to me. It is a little bit clunky, but I think it makes sense because, you know, they're dinosaurs, right? That definitely makes sense. What is this recommended by McConnell? This looks like a McConnell game. It's a bunch of fucking Templar. Every character is just another variation of a Templar.

Okay. What the fuck? Holy shit. Oh my God. Holy fuck. Isn't it crazy that like three years ago we were playing vampire survivors and now they turn them to this. I feel like this genre has gotten so much bigger.

Looks nice, yeah. Yeah, yeah, they're all Templar. Do you want to play a red Templar or a blue Templar? These are definitely picked by my viewers. Absolutely 100% picked by Asmengold viewers. That's good. Works the list of the games of the show. We're going to set that up after the show.

Don't worry about it. What is this? You were born of forbidden blood. Crimson moon? Bound in chains to serve the order of the crimson moon. This is like Lords of the Fallen? Rise Nephilim. Nethel.

You send our foes back to their fiery prison. This is awesome. I think if the combat is good for this game, it would be good. I have to play it, though, to be... dude. Like, I, that shit just reminded me a Hannah Alando. Stresses me out. Damn. It's fucking insane that people that are like indie devs can make games like this now.

Holy fuck. We play Dark Souls, please? I've actually considered it recently. Is doing the deathless run again? Like to look at this game? Yeah, this looks awesome. Really fuck. You guys really pick.

out some good ones. Y'all did. Like, these are good. Holy shit. Crusader slop? Hey, hey, yo. What the fuck did you expect? What did you expect?

W. Roaches? Yeah, and we're going to be taking more applications for people that want to be judges after this show. That one looks really good. What's this shit? Lost, Heldon. Is this a timing attack? It's like Expedition 33.

How do we submit a game? I'll talk about everything afterwards. Looks pretty good I don't know if I'd really play this a whole lot I don't know I have to see like what the combat's actually like Copy of Copy Yeah it does it does seem similar to

I think it was it Zeno Blade Chronicles I forgot what game that was But it was something like that I voted against that one Okay As a parent What is that? Protect your family

Okay Or die If you kick the bucket You don't stay dead for long You can cheat time. Every death costs a decade. What the fuck? Every choice counts.

So it's a roguidite, obviously. I feel like to an extent I'm kind of getting rogue light fatigue. But at the same time, I feel like I'd probably still play one if it was good. Two minutes? Yeah, there's a lot. Like, I need to finish, uh... What do you call it? Hades 2.

I never beat that game All of them seeing what sticks Yeah People were talking Yeah I mean I feel like it's a It's a genre A lot of people really like It makes sense

I'm just giving my opinion Right That's what I think The lip is better of multiplayer I don't know if this says multiplayer or not I have no idea This is a play test on spring Yeah that one looked all right

They just didn't have great replayability It compared to most single player games Yeah to me I think that the lack of replayability Of single player games And some days makes it good because like then it's like you're done right then you can move on rather than like just an ongoing you know forever hamster wheel that's just me though another one recommended by my viewers right is this like the indie version of stellar blade i want to see some gameplay that's pretty good it's like securo yeah anything with paris is just like securo

especially if a unit turns red before something happens yeah this is good. I like this. I did see that. I just remember that one fucking steam. I haven't seen any of this other gameplay, though. This looks good. Combat Snee?

Yeah, I'd say so. Oh, damn. When does it come out? Nice. What was it out? Wish list? Okay, it's out in 2027, guys. 2027 for sure.

Imagine POE like this? I feel like it's got some peri mechanics. Like, the block has a peri built into it. If you have a buckler, right? It's not, uh, it's not impossible. Yeah, that one actually looked really good. Oh, I saw this. Yeah.

Oh, never mind. I thought I saw it on Twitter. What is this? Is this a tank game? What the fuck? I know you've never quite seen eye to eye. Believe it or not, Whitaker. You want the same thing.

Mm-hmm. It's all out there in the zone. Never know what you might find. Fuck? So you can build... Oh wow. I'm gonna be real, like, so far, like, for the... The judges, like, you guys actually kind of cooked.

Like, these are really good. Holy fuck. Spring 2026. Yeah, these are... Wow. Tank slop? Yeah, I like it. That's great.

What's this? Is that Carnival Carouse? I don't think so. There's no fighting. What the fuck? Chips, what the fuck, huh? It is really funny watching myself age out of

nostalgia even. I'm aging out of video game nostalgia because now it's no longer Super Nintendo and it's Nintendo 64. That's actually so sad. So this is like another, like yeah, this is like Legend of Zelda or something. Maybe PlayStation 2

almost. Low-Poly version of it. So is there a game here? Where's the gameplay? Where's the activities? I can't wait for nostalgia to hit GameCube. All the Wind Waker games? Damn.

I feel like this one looks like it's more of a narrative game. Rather than like a gameplay game. What do you guys think? Spirited away? Yeah. It's a girl game. I can see why you say that. I'm not sure if it is or not, though.

You know, in a weird way? You know, this game reminds me a lot of undertale. Like the combat sequences? Just like obviously with more pixels. The boss fights, yeah. Oh, it's a furry game. That's great. That means you know it'll be good.

It has soul. Honestly, like, I can see why you say that. That's a nice game. Zelda meets Animal Crossing. I feel like it reminded me a lot more of, like, kind of like sly Cooper in a way. I remember I played that a lot whenever I was a kid.

You know, when does this come out? It's like heartbound but good. It's probably not that bad. Come on. It couldn't be that bad. It's a kid's game? Yeah, maybe a little bit, right? 100% accurate, I don't know.

Yeah, that's actually looks pretty good. What's this? Averno's city is losing the war on crime. Oh. Entire neighborhoods are in the grip of game. Familiar. There are. Daily high-speed pursuits across the city.

What the fuck? And it's just in, another armed robberies in progress. No way! Every single one of you took an oath to protect this city. It's residents and your fellow brothers in blue. Fucking base. Mm-hmm. Follow that vehicle.

Yeah, it's L.A. simulator, obviously. I love how all these fake fucking, uh... All these fake cities are either New York or L.A. Central. Get the cell ready. Mm-hmm. Yeah. So you actually just get to be the police and shoot robbers? Nice.

They're doing something at Warehouse Six. I'm going in. Damn. See what I want them to do in real life. See this? Yeah. There we go. The department did everything we could to track down your father's killer.

Now we go live to a police helicopter in a pursuit operation. This is like a whole last story game. You're doing. They're deploying everything at their disposal. Damn. Your father would have been proud. It seems that way, I've seen a lot of kids come out of the Academy all fired up about truth, and justice in the American way, only to end up either on the take or in a casket.

That's pretty good, I would say. Looks neat. Yeah, that actually looks good. They put on fucking console, though. Oh, it's on PC. Oh, okay, good. I was about to say, or not a console. Like, yeah.

So this is on Steam. right? It should be on Steam. Yeah, okay, good. I'm glad. Because I don't want to have to play on a console. I don't hate console. I just would rather play on a PC. Play it, maybe I will. The Relic First Guardian.

That works really good. Holy fuck. You can have, like, different weapons at Steam's obviously. Yeah, magic, too. Wait, yo, that comes out in two days. Holy shit. I wonder if that one's gonna be good. They only showed, like, one boss fight.

I'm like, kind of like, I don't know if it'll be good or not. I have to wait and see it. Yeah, that comes out in two fucking days, man. Oh, my God. Play it? Maybe I should. I don't know if I have anything else going on in two days. Probably not.

Probably have, I'm not doing shit. Team Cloud. Oh. Should be on Twitch. What the... What the fuck? Oh, my... Y'all really pick some more.

winners, huh? What the fuck is you? Are we finally going to get, like, good indie horror games? Or, like, zombie games and shit like that? It'll do weird shit that, like, the big devs will never do. God damn. Oh, shit. This is that one game.

Is this a new trailer? Remember I said, this is the game that I like the most? Yeah, yeah, remember? Because I looked at that game, and I was like, this is fucking awesome. 2027? Yeah. There's a lot, many such cases. That's the Ukrainian dev, is it really?

Yeah, because I remember the guy stuck his head through that one fucking wall. I was like, this game's awesome. 2027 is five months out. Jesus Christ. Oh, man. Only the dreamers know how to wake up. And when they open their eyes, they're here. What you relax, man.

It's like cyberpunk. Did you ever have deja vu before? that you have lived this exact moment Okay I'm going away kid But don't worry You're taking over my old noodle bar Raman noir

Okay Not much But it's a start Ava will look after you She knows which Docs have the best fish Wait Which streets have the best stories

Is this like Dave the Diver or something? Where you just run a ramen noodle shop in like a cyberpunk city? Yeah. Dave the cyber. Good one. In your kitchen, the world is whatever you make it. Jesus. That's from Death Strand.

This city is a pressure cooker kid. It wants to grind you down. But you, you're going to make friends. Make deals. and make enough money to buy your way out of the mud. So this is all like, wait, what the fuck? Climb, kid. Dave runners? Yeah.

Keep climbing until you're above the rain. They say you die twice. Once when your heart stops and once when you're forgotten. So tell me, how will Navalis remember you? I play this with the vibes. Yeah, the vibes I think for it are pretty good. Like, I don't really know if I'd play a game like this or not, Since it's like a cooking simulator, but maybe if it played well.

Mixed feels on this one? Yeah, I'm kind of the same way. I'm like half and half. From weakness. Okay. This is Kingdom Come Deliverance Zero. It's before the first game. Oh, Knight's Path.

Well, I remember seeing this one. This one had drama on Twitter, I remember. Mm-hmm. Damn. Okay. Jesus. They actually used to do that attack. too. I thought that was

wait, what? Oh. Okay, so there's dragons and shit. That's new. Arguing with the girl. Yeah, I remember seeing people like getting so mad about this game on Twitter and I was like, what the fuck is wrong with these people? But like, yeah,

I don't think it has a, it doesn't have a release date or anything like that yet. But I'll definitely play this when it comes out. Blunt's the most underrated weapon type. So true. A lot half-sorting. My brother has betrayed us all. Wardens of Avalon.

Is this a mean, it's not from Tain and Grail, right? His legendary knights of the round table. Dusk ones? I don't think so. Have all fallen prey to corruption. What the fuck? Or have simply disappeared. Okay.

Avalon. Once a glorious kingdom. Mm-hmm. Is now falling into disqualing. It sounds like they haven't shown any gameplay yet. I don't think we required anybody to show gameplay if the trailer looks good. I have created the legend of the twilight nights. For salvation will not come from a single night, but from many.

Okay, this is where to show. Oh my God. Yeah, I would play this. You know what, this reminds me of a little bit is, um, V Rising Yeah, that looks really good Holy shit, man V Rising, yeah, exactly

Diablo Slop, not Soul Slop Yeah, exactly, it's a new one, right? Multiplayer, yeah, that looks really good, actually I like that game. It's like Gauntlet, yeah, I feel like there's not been a spiritual successor to Gauntlet. Pawn? What the fuck?

Is this a long-weighted chest too? Be not afraid. Mederan. A gushio of stone. Oh, my god. Holy shit. Scolpita

of antichia man. Condannata. Oh, but stay safe. But stay attentto. That armature you conviener

But I've never seen that one It's Italian? Is that right? Holy shit This is the first Rotterview? This is the first one. This is the beginning. And let me see here. What is this? Well, that's nice. Yeah, I was here. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, this is the first one. First of many, hopefully.

Right? And we're trying it out. We're going to go through everything. And we're doing our first pilot run for it today. Rotary Vue is must-up gameplay. What was this? Oh, wow. Oh, I remember seeing this. Yeah, didn't this game look really... Like, I remember people said that it was... I looked it up on...

On YouTube, I think. There were, like, good videos about it. It's bald, too. Yeah, you get to play as Tectone. Isn't that crazy? Emo Tectone. Yeah. Okay.

And this one's, I think, still in early access. Solo or Co-op A-R-PG Light? That's a big one. I remember... I don't know why, but now I remember exactly looking at this trailer. Now I remember Yeah

This one looks really good It's Valheim with girls Wow To be fair I played Valheim a lot I want to play it when 1.0 comes out too Two purple will be successful I don't think it's gonna It's not that kind of purple okay guys

I hope not This reminds me kind of of like RuneScape Dragon Wilds I played that a lot when it came out Or day one, early access launch? August 11th. Oh shit. That's on like a month, right? Yeah, yeah.

No, it's like two weeks. Holy shit. Let's get him worth it. They're purging the purple. I don't know what happened with purple, bro. Like, doesn't have DEI purple? Yeah, it's just normal purple. What's this?

Right? That's great. Good job, guys. Explore the village on your own. Jesus Christ. Okay. Make stupid games for hyper other than profit? Yeah.

I mean, I think people like these. This is, and then let me guess, he's going to immediately get in the car, right? Oh, he's just going to let the cows go, okay. And then now he just goes and gets in the car. Is this what it's like in Poland? I uh farming be a good neighbor

fat old okay oh man I might actually have to play this this is actually really cool I didn't realize it was this I thought it was just like a simulator inside a shop I didn't know it had all this to it too

games are meant to be stupid shit they were hundreds of mildly satisfied customers. Tough choices. Trading a goat for... Right. I wonder if you can drink and drive in this game.

All the beer? Yeah. I hope so. Yeah. I'm sure you can. I mean, it seems like you can do everything else, right? Okay. So this game did come out. I remember when it released. People got mad at me for not... Okay. All right. Maybe I'll have to play that. Yeah, two months ago

I feel like I haven't seen anybody play this So I might have to be the first one I don't know anybody else that's played this game Besides me watching a trailer I'm got the bonk It all starts One among millions What the fuck

Determined And ridiculously optimistic I'll be the first A dream of purpose But it will not be easy Well, um, I, uh... Okay, okay, guys. Oh, man.

When does this come out? It comes out this year. Okay, good. That was actually a really good one. Holy shit. I, uh, I like that. Goddamn. It's a fun party game. I don't know if it's really a party game or not. I have no idea.

It seems like it could be a game kind of like marbles where, like, a bunch of people are playing that. Oh. The dead world How is it that I haven't seen Any of these games? I don't think I've seen this one. Have I? There's no way I've seen them.

You'll harvest. Oh, shit. This one's big, you have? Really? Oh, it's like total war. God damn. Jesus. Yeah, I would probably play this.

It's a more advanced version of banner award. It's going to be incredible. The only banner award I played was that one. day, which was a crazy day. Oh, damn. This looks amazing. Yeah, this one looks really, really good. Jesus. Okay. All right. It's kind of savage.

Kind of need this? Yeah, I think I might play that one. I mean, it's definitely like, you know, those are the kind of games that I would always play. Like any of those fucking, you know, medieval sword games, that's pretty much a guaranteed play for me. I'll be out of the Berserk mode. What is this? What the fuck? But when the goddess called, I answered. What the fuck is this?

Is this like a rogue light? I'm trying to see. Why is Tsikuno voicing? Yeah. I feel like I don't really know... And you like, give me the strength to face the shadows that threaten you. I don't know if I'd like this one or not. What do you guys think?

It does sound like... By the way, it does absolutely sound like Psycho... Looks epic made, probably. Maybe, I don't know. It's a spell crafting game. Yeah, I feel like there's a lot of games like that now, especially like after how popular POE was, like a lot of people probably trying to copy and do the exact same thing.

Which makes sense. I had to get a cup for my soda. I was sick of holding it. The bottom of it kind of got messed up. Okay, we're good. What is this? The castle on wheels? The fuck?

What the... What the fuck is this? This looks pretty good. Oh, never mind, you're dead. What the fuck? Battle fortresses? Yeah. This is good.

I like it. Wanderbird. Glitious on Steam. That looks decent. The game's actually fun. Really? Is there a demo out for it now? I have no idea.

Yeah, that looks good. Inverse tower defense? Yeah, it's tower offense. Yeah, that looks actually, like, really... Yeah, playtest was fun. That's badass. I like that. Ooh. Joe Toyo.

Monster fantasy. What the fuck? So it's just like literally just monster hunter or? I'm gonna find out. That looks really good. Holy shit. That's the Raffian? This sounds really shameless.

This looks super fucking shameless. Yeah. Um. It's legally distinct. I mean, I don't think there's a Griffin, right? I'd rather play this than the Horizon one. I'll tell you that. If Power World isn't shameless, then this isn't shameless.

True. Very true. Wait, speaking of Power World. What? Mm-hmm. Nintendo L after L? You're carrying the dead dragon into the town? God damn

This actually looks good man I I will like I don't know about 100% right but like I guarantee you unless there's something crazy that happens the day this comes out I will play this

this is really cool even though it is probably especially the first half of this trailer was the most shameless ripoff of Monster Hunter I've ever seen and I don't care because I like Monster Hunter Wait what

You can do this too? What the fuck is this game? Yeah, I'm okay with that. Yeah, I don't care. If you steal a copy from a game that I like a lot, and you try to copy a game that I like a lot, there might be two games that I like a lot. So I don't give a fuck.

The graphics for this game look really good. Okay. I wonder if they're going to be able to release this before they get sued by Capcom. What do you guys think? Yeah, I don't know. No. Morbid Metal.

The open metal is a fast-paced, rogue light, heck and slash, that is built for intense combo-driven combat. Isn't this the game that only one guy made? Trapped inside a deadly simulation. Your mission exploits beautiful and brutal iterations, grow stronger, and prove your worth to your creator. One guy. Holy shit. It's a bit like switching weapons in a shooter. Except here, you're switching full-on play serves.

Oh, wow. It's like a gotcha game. Mm-hmm. That is cool. You can even chain attacks between different characters. I have this game as decent. Really? To put your enemy.

Switch to Flux for a flurry of hits and finish your combo with Echo's special attack. Nice. Mastering each play style will be essential as you'll face a variety of powerful enemies, each with their own attack patterns and weaknesses. and at the end of every biome don't face powerful bosses. These are dramatic, high-stakes encounters designed to be tough but rewarding. That's cool.

Each new run reshapes the world. Layouts shift, enemy types change, and you'll have to adapt and make strategic choices to succeed. Damn. One guy made this game. I don't even know how that's possible. I'm going to be honest.

I'll be honest. ... risks, others offer abilities, rewards, and modifier. Which alter your... It's a rogue light with three characters to switch? Well, I think you play all of them at the same time. Play the free demo tomorrow during Steam Next Fest and which is now for early access on August 20th.

Damn. Yeah, that one looks really good. I assume they outsource stuff. Well, apparently it worked, right? I think it looks good. One dedicated, hardworking dude probably. Yeah, I guess so. What the...

What the fuck? Oh, what the fuck is that? This is absolutely a schizo game. Binding of Isaac? I don't think so. I feel like that game's totally different, right? Body hurts. It's a schizzo game?

Yeah. Binding a... Oh, it's a similar art? Yeah, I would say so. I didn't play it, really. I've just seen videos of it. Handy helper, and it's a hand. Good one.

chance it. It looks good. My anxiety's through the roof. Yeah, the music was like pretty fucking intense, man. This paper doom. Yeah. Something like that. What's this?

I remember seeing this one. Yeah. This one reminded me of fake keeper. I feel like ever since people just kind of collectively decided that Elder Scrolls 5 wasn't going to come out. Or whichever 6 or whatever it is. People just decided to start trying to make their own? Yeah, Elder Scroll 6. And you can catch a dude's head. I don't remember seeing that.

Jesus. Yeah, that looks good. Dark Messiah vibes 100%. Yeah? Older scroll 6 won't be better than Taney Grail. I don't know. I hope all these games are going to be good. But those are the games that we picked out today, right, for all the Trey Wars and everything. gentlemen, what did you think? This is our first trial run for the show. This is a total dry run. We just started right now. This is the pilot. We're going through everything for the first time. It's really good. Okay, you guys liked it? Yep, definitely. And I'll maybe make, and also, if there's any feedback or anything like that, to look at, great concept. So this is the idea, right, guys? So also, before I do this, huge shout out to Peckys. Obviously, everybody else, like Fern. Rich, tips, everybody that's like helped me kind of like do this a little bit behind the scenes,

my other mods as well, free jam, J, et cetera. I don't want to go over everybody. There's been a lot of people that have helped make this possible. And yeah, huge shout out. Thank you guys. Really appreciate it. We wanted to keep the show really small in scope in terms of what we're doing. So what our goal is is to do this show on a regular basis every single month.

Every month we do a show like this. So that way, there are the new indie games that come out. Every single month that people don't really get a chance to really know about because there's no big game showcase happening. And I'm going to try to do one of these once a month for like an hour or so. I think this one was a bit more than an hour. That's going to be an hour to an hour and a half. That's generally the plan. If the show gets more popular and a lot more people want to watch it,

we might even broadcast a show to a separate area so other people can watch it at the same time. We're kind of going to decide that as it happens. We also have a website that we're using. in order to aggregate everything. We haven't done all of this yet because obviously this is our first episode and we haven't done everything. But clearly what we're going to be doing is we're going to have roachcounsel.com is the website. If you want to be involved and you want to be one of the people that came into, you know,

comes into like making decisions and choosing games and everything, feel free to apply because we are going to be taking more applications so more people can be part of the show and do everything. But yeah, I mean, honestly, like, I think this did really, really well. And I'm happy. Recores Discord. It does. It requires Discord just so it's easy for us.

And also, like, this is just, it's that way everything is centralized in one area, right? So, yeah. Ken Roach Council vote on new judges? Yeah. I mean, I would maybe let them vote and then maybe we'd do it, do it twice a month. It's too much. I think once a month is the best idea. And I feel like that would be the best way to head.

Yeah. Give me one second. Just one second. Talking to the production team. There it is. And so I'd make sure everything was good there. It's really good and it's accomplished it very well. Yeah, definitely, man.

So, yeah. And again, huge shout out to Pekkes and everybody else that set up the event and all that. Great job, obviously. And yeah, definitely awesome. And there it is, man. So did you guys like it? And was that good? It typed so fast.

Sounds like stenography? I don't type that fast, right? I love the artwork. Yeah. So we're going to be doing this once a month, and it's going to be for smaller games, etc. Feedback is that the audio must be equalized between all clips. I know we're going to figure out audio is probably the first thing that I'm going to think about. And then we're going to figure things out past that and then, you know, kind of evolve beyond there as much as possible. So not bad for first go. Yeah, we're going to apply to get involved. Roach Council. And you can also join. It's on my Discord. And as more people get involved and there's more people that are aware of the show, this is, you know, primarily for indie games, games that wouldn't have a place on another showcase. And so we're trying to do this as a regular basis as kind of, honestly, it's beneficial for me, too, because it gives me an idea on what kind of games my viewers want to see, too.

So it's beneficial for everybody, and that's basically the plan, right? And you should pick one game at the end that's chudworthy. We're thinking about doing a rating system, but right now we're kind of trying to slow roll this, so we don't kind of scope creep ourselves into, you know, not being able to do the show. So, like, my mentality was like, okay, step one, do the fucking show. Get the show out there. Do the first episode.

See what people think. Rather than trying to, like, spend fucking, you know, five hours theory crafting on how to do it better, right? That's at least the way I'd say it. So, yes, that is the plan. But I'm going to call the day and relax for a little bit. And tomorrow, I'm not sure what we're going to do tomorrow. But I did want to make sure that I did this episode. because it was either going to be today or Friday,

but I was like, well, let's do it today, and we're going to come back and do it and do everything else, Copsop. We'll watch one tomorrow. I don't want to watch one every single day, but we'll watch one tomorrow. How about that?
