After a defeat by the Banshee that was once Jet’Laya’s sister, Aegon and the Troupe retreat to the Friendly Arm Inn to recover and regroup.

I do this for a living and for fun.
I Need to Buy Me a Gamepad
When you start playing Crumble, one of the first things the game does is to recommend that you use a gamepad. Despite this, I played through the whole game using keyboard and mouse. After achieving this amazing feat, I’m beginning to regret this decision.
The Screams of the Banshee
Aegon and the Troupe joined Jet’Laya in the search for her lost sister. After travelling through orc-infested woods and hordes of the undead they have finally found her. Unfortunately Jet’Laya’s sister is no longer in the realm of the living, and now the Troupe must face her wrath.
I Finished Overload’s Campaign
After some effort, and lowering of the difficulty, I’ve finally finished Overload’s main campaign. Here are my final thoughts on the overall experience, and musings on whether I’ll continue to play this game in the future.
Forest of Forgotten Souls
The Troupe makes their way into another forest far to the east of the Sword Coast. Jet’Laya senses that she is close to her sister, but the trees hide many ghasts and ghouls, and wyverns roam the surrounding plains.
Another Speedrunning Game
I was getting frustrated with Overload after a huge difficulty spike in the last few levels, so I decided to take a break from it and try out another game. Crumble is a simple game with a simple premise: keep rolling forwards.
Wood of Sharp Undead Teeth
Aegon and the Troupe continue their search for Jet’Laya’s sister, moving deeper into the Wood of Sharp Teeth. They tested their mettle against the orc tribes living on the edge of the forest.
Overload: A Frustrating End
I’m getting close to the end of Overload’s campaign and it’s hard. Really hard. I don’t mind this, as games are supposed to get more challenging as you progress. There are, however, a couple of strange design decisions that are making the experience a little frustrating.
Overload’s Titanic Difficulty
I’ve been playing through Overload and having an extremely fun time. It’s not perfect by a long shot. The game can get frustrating to play at times. But when you start getting a grip on the mechanics the game can prove to be very rewarding.
Butchering Orcs and Orogs
The Troupe return to the Wood of Sharp Teeth with Thorfinn, their new berserker ally and the brave, brave Sir Garrick. This time they are better prepared and do well fighting against the orcs that infest the place.
