Evolver
Gameplay Synopsis:
Evolver blends competitive fighting with quantum-cyberpunk-scifi to create a world of bizarre weapons, unconventional fighting styles, and wildly eccentric characters. Fighters wield weapons such as hand-held guillotines and giant surgical lancets, and couple them with super powers and martial arts to (sometimes literally) destroy their enemies.
Evolver’s combat mechanics are unique among 2D fighting systems in that it combines elements of traditional fighters with those of platform fighters. It also replaces traditional blocking with a unique evade-and-parry based defense system. Additionally, players choose their attack sets before each round with each character having 15 unique moveset combinations. Evolver’s combo system is friendly to inexperienced players and button mashers thanks to it’s auto combo mechanic, but also rewards seasoned fighting game players who put the time into creating complex attack sequences and mixups.

TERRORHYTHM (TRRT) - Rhythm driven action beat ‘em up!
It pains me to write a negative review for this game, but in its current state, TERRORHYTHM is just not that enjoyable
Don’t get me wrong, being a fan of rhythm games, I like this game and see great potential for it, but there are a couple major issues that prevent me from truly enjoying the game
Messy calibration system
Other reviewers have covered how this feature breaks when you use controllers, but since I’ve never used a controller for this game, I’ll let you read those reviews for more accurate information. However, there is still something else that is rather done poorly.

“Easy to Learn, Hard to Master” game.
First of all, I love the art style!
There was a lot of cool design in the different backgrounds and animation. Also the weapons - (that you’ll get from enemies) - katanas, throwing discs and a giant reaper scythe that looks cool as hell as you slice down enemies).
The music is also brilliant!
Every single track here is big and thumping and geared towards making you want to move. WIthin seconds of starting up the first level, I found myself bopping along in my seat, and that set the tone for every other level. BTW, you also can add in your own songs.

Battle Girls
A short, mecha fighting story with some romance options brought to you by the Dharker Studios.
You were chosen as a mecha pilot to represent your nation in an international competition. Just to be clear, there is no mecha action here, it’s pure VN. You have several battles to go through and multiple choices to reach one of many endings. While the VN is relatively short, to complete all scenarios will likely double the length so it’s not bad. Your choice will also influence if and who will you end up with. Writing quality is acceptable but there is not enough character development here. No real heroines’ backgrounds or motivations present. Also, the main character was left as a blank slate, no sprite, no face, little to none personality. There are some slip ups and inconsistencies, e.g. wrong names used or story referring to events that did not occur due to the previous choices. Still, I enjoyed it more than expected from low budget VNs. One of better VNs from this developer.

So some background. I’m a FPS and RPG kinda person, but have played various other genres. My first visual novel was Doki Doki Literature Club, and it changed my life (good game, check it out it’s free). So when I was making a badge and got a coupon for this game, it peaked my interests.
However, instead of being just some cheap game with no depth, I was surprised to see how much depth this game’s story went into. I will admit, I don’t get the whole thing about it being a school or something, and yet they are battling other countries so they get an untrained dude to fight for them. But whatever….

Punch Planet - Early Access
(Updated review 12/22/2020)
Where do I start……. THIS GAME IS AWESOME! I hardly have anything negative to say about this game. If you enjoy 2D style fighting games, with tons of defensive mechanics and solid gameplay, you WILL enjoy Punch Planet!
Gameplay: 10/10 This game has super responsive controls, unlike fighting games ive played recently. There is no input delay, it just feels really good to play. The gameplay is very deep and intuitive, giving each player an array of customization in they’re fighting style with each character. I’ve played this game for 792 hours and have yet to run into two people who play a character the same way.
– Real player with 878.7 hrs in game
I did a good amount of research on this game before I decided to buy it and from what I was extensive combos that require accurate input but not impossible to do, well what I got was completely different. I haven’t seen anything on the recent patch so I fear the game may have died.
In the YT videos I saw combo strings were incredibly fluid and very areil nd juggle based. Upon gameplay, well, the gravity is much higher and only Heavy hits and certain specials actually stun long enough for you to complete a ground to air combo or an air to ground combo. I’ve only been playing for about an hour or so, but I hope this game hasnt died. The online lobbies are entirely empty and its just odd to see that this game would be passed over because it does have a very high amount of potentil to rock with the big wig games.

- Floating Combo
This game uses a strict floating combo system, which is no longer a fake or unrestricted floating combo.
Floating combo: refers to the ability to continue to attack the enemy after knocking the enemy into the air, in order to cause more combo num and damage.
Floating combo Limit: Observe the “four actions and two no-repeat” rule, that is, after the enemy is floated, a maximum of four actions are added, and the same action can be used up to two times. After this limit is exceeded, the floating combo will be forcibly terminated (normal attack and Jump attack is not subject to this restriction).
- Block System
This game uses a strict blocking system, which extremely tests the player’s hand speed. After a successful block, you will get a short invincibility time. The invincibility time will increase as your character level up.
In Crazy Mode, it is recommended that players use more blocks and use the invincible time after the block is successful to move. In addition, there is a short invincibility time after the blood kill, please use it with caution.
- Level Up System
In order to increase growth, this game adds an level up system. Characters gain points by hitting or props. After the points reach a certain value, they will be level up. When the character reaches level 10 and 20, certain actions will be strengthened and changed.
As the level increases, the character’s attack power and blood volume will increase accordingly. The level can be increased infinitely, and the attack power and maximum blood volume are limited.
- Weapon System
In order to increase the fun of the game, this game uses a storable weapon system. Players can collect various weapons such as AK, rifles, bazookas, etc., use them as much as they want, and put them back in their backpacks when they are not needed.
- Crazy Mode
In addition to the traditional pass mode, the game has a new ultra-high difficulty Crazy Mode. In the Crazy mode, there are a large number of soldiers and bosses, and the enemy’s attack, blood volume, and AI are greatly improved. It requires extremely skilled operations to pass the level.
- BOSS Rush
BOSS Rush mode is a mode to directly challenge the BOSS. In this mode, there is no interference from soldiers, and players can enjoy various floating combo.
This mode lasts for 12 levels, and there are even 2BOSS and 3BOSS levels behind it, which is an excellent place to level up and show operations.
About development
This game was made by a person who spent a whole year and carefully polished it. The full-time development process is very difficult and it is not easy to finish it.The original intention of making this game was to miss the arcade games that were often played as a child. Are those games that were once all the rage really going to be forgotten by history?
If you like arcade games, please support this game. If the sales volume is good, there will be a sequel version later.

Eight Dragons
It’s still in early access, but this is already one of the best fighting games i have played. It looks and sounds like it is right out of the nineties, my era, like a Streets of Rage game that Sega or the other publishers never got around to making. I really love it for that, and so many other reasons. Its a shame there are not more games of this style.
With One or Two players it is a kind of tactical game where you pick off the enemies as quickly and as efficiently as you can.
You cannot just wade in hammering that fire button. You have really got to think about it. Do i go left first or right first ?

Eight Dragons certainly has already come a long way since it’s first Early Access launch back on April 23, 2019! The team has been actively considering the feedback and constructive criticism provided by the growing community and the game is shaping nicely. At first it was a bit bare minimum, however it was still a solid experience game-play wise. Enemy collisions when thrown into other enemies has improved, Individual unique animations have been reworked for each character, the ability to pick up and throw obstacles is now present, the difficulty has been reworked, new level design elements have been added, and overall game-play mechanics have improved to further expand upon the decently executed engine that was built prior. This game has since seen consistent updates and it looks like it will get better and better as time passes.

UNPLUGGED
it is a really cool game I recommend 8/10
(100000/10 considering price)
– Real player with 4.2 hrs in game
A neat endless beat ‘em up with a little bit of mobile rhythm game DNA that wears its influences on its sleeve.
It’s a little buggy in places, but that’s easy to forgive considering this is the developer’s first game and the pricetag.
