So the game this week is a little gem called "Realm of the Mad God" and oh lord is it awesome. Realm of the Mad God is a top down, 8 bit MMO Shooter. If this sounds weird to you its because it is, but that at least makes the game worth checking out.
Basically, after doing a short tutorial you spawn in a hub world populated with a few entrances to the game worlds. Up to 65 people can enter the game world at a time and you're all sort of in one huge party with the aim of killing the Mad God.
So you create a guy, give him a name and a class and go questing. The pace of the game is fast, and I mean REALLY fuckin' fast and after the first few levels the enemies get tough. Finding people to group with (which is done automatically by standing near them) is super important for survival. So go forth, collect loot, and after you kill enough shit, you get teleported to go fight the Mad God. Winning gets you loot and fame which you use to upgrade your guy and unlock more classes so you can go questing with different equipment sets and abilities.
However, the real kicker to this game, the thing that makes it really interesting, is the fact that there is perma-death. That's right, if you die in this game you lose your guy and all your loot and have to start right from stage 1. Granted, levelling to the cap of 20 is super fast, but losing a load of fame and items is still as bad as a spiky stick to the ballsack.
So give it a go, you can play it for about 15 mins and still get good progress in but the game is addictive as all hell.
The game can be found at http://www.realmofthemadgod.com/ or you can play it off Steam if you have an account there, so have it!
