Gigapocalypse
[url] Please see my curator page for more games that are well worth your time[/url]
Approximate amount of time to 100%: 35h+
Estimated achievement difficulty: 2/10
Minimum number of playthroughs needed: This question is hard, but I would say 9 since you have to level up 9 Giga’s to lvl 50
Is there a good guide available: I made a guide, which you can find here

I really like this game! Though, there’s some minor stuff i really hope will get updated (and with this being in early access it likely will!)
At the time pf this review there are 3 gigas and 4 worlds
What I like
This game reminds me a lot of how some old classic flash games used to play, but with more polish and gameplay. When rampaging the attacks feel responsive and good, especially as you upgrade them more. It feels great to upgrade your giga and I personally don’t mind the quick bits of taking care of it as a baby for bonus mutation points. I love the pets system too, and how adding decorations to your giga’s home gives bonus stats. Also, despite the game being in such early access it feels like it has enough content to be worth the price even though it doesn’t even have half of the planned amount of content!

I really want to see this game succeed because my friends and I absolutely love 8 Bit Fiesta, but it needs many more minigames as there are only 5 right now. I would not currently recommend until more content is added, but I want to support the devs.

Raid on the Zone
Been playing this a couple of times now, and I’m very fond of it being so close to the original Raid on Bungeling Bay, even though it has been enhanced with more intelligent AI, which also makes it a bigger challenge. I haven’t beaten it yet, but I’m going to! Lots of good gameplay and replayability. Recommending this for everyone who likes to shoot stuff and have fun!

I really enjoyed this game as it resembles the old Raid on Bungeling Bay, which I have enjyoed a lot as a kid. The game is hard but loads of fun! :) Highly recommended for anyone with a trigger finger.

Holy Stick!
Holy Stick! is a 2D multiplayer fighting game, which lets you cut your friends’ legs with a machete or blow their brains out using powerful guns. Experience unique playthroughs every time you play, thanks to multiple gamemodes and crazy modifiers!
-
Innovative and unique damage system - stickmans can lose arms, legs, torso and head. Each of these losses forces you to change the way you play - without legs you can only crawl on the ground, while lack of hands makes you unable to use weapons. Improvise, adapt and overcome your newly acquired disabilities!
-
20+ game changing modifiers - adapt to the always-changing environment! Gravity might go nuts, the floor will become lava and guns will rain from heavens. We turn each match of boring TDM into an adventure, that will both suprise and challenge you every time!
-
A vibrant arsenal of firearms, explosives, melee weapons and some spicy options, like a psychedelic gas grenade. Put them to good use while shredding your enemies to pieces!
-
Hybrid multiplayer! You can play any way you want - standard online with your friends (or anons), old classy splitscreen (up to 4 players) or a mix of the two! Yup, you can have 4 players on one device and 4 on another and play together over the Internet. WARNING: NO SINGLE PLAYER MODE!
Space Shooter
This is a good arcade style game. It will take a little bit of practice to use the control and get use to the movement. Survival will challenge you, easy at start, difficult later on as every survival mode. For .99, definitely recommend.

This is a fun and colorfull game that is worth playing. However, it is pretty difficult. I enjoyed playing it.

Jungle Rumble
No settings, no info, bad controls and poor design.
Not recommended even on a sale.

Lucky me gets to write the first review for Jungle Rumble.
Jungle Rumble is a “template flip”, that is to say, it’s a “game” that has been produced by copying a game template from GameMaker Studio, changing a few things, then dumping the barely functional “product” on Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab. In this case it was a GameMaker Studio template for doing a simple retro arcade shooter/platformer/ripoff of Contra (only worse). GameMaker Studio is a very poor quality game construction kit, and results in terrible games like this one.

Attack Heroes
Attack Heroes is a stylish non-stop action game where the heroes take turns attacking. During a hero’s attack friendly heroes can join with their helper attack if available. Also: cute anime style.
The PROS outweigh the cons
-
Unique gameplay!
-
Many enemy types
-
Cute style with big Chinese text on the screen
-
Fun enough story. 2 of the main characters have enough personality
CONS
-
Just 4 girls in the game? And 8 guys . . .
-
If you think you play a level, and then continue to the next level and continue with the story, no! You usually need to play the same levels again to complete challenges that are only available after beating the level once, and your character may not be strong enough to stand enough of a chance to beat the next level.

Surprisingly good
Basically a parody of Japanese style games, over the top animations, over the top music
RPG elements, unlockable characters, good steam integration with cards and achievements
Overall good effort
Some minor issues, some parts untranslated and a lot of the translations are pretty bad, slightly shonky controls in places but still great fun
Edit: in late game the shonky controls are really annoying, sometimes pushing a button just doesn’t execute the move (event though I started really slamming the buttons to make sure they are being pressed) even and it instantly ruins combos and just makes things super annoying

Alright, so you found this game in the Free Games section or maybe you came knowing it’s a new game by mighty XWILKINX. As a person who played the game since its very launch, first on the Web-version, then on the itch.io version, and then here, I’m here to reroute your journey elsewhere, as you most likely won’t find what you’re looking for - a game you can play and enjoy. This review is focused on multiplayer, as IMHO singleplayer is extremely boring.
Let’s start with the positives tho, as game actually sports a couple of them:

–-What you are initially reading was written before 1st prestige, further down (indicated by obvious line) are things added after the initial review and will likely be updated as my play time goes up—
Having played BRAIN/OUT, another 2D shooter very similar to this for countless hours, honestly I think this game is way better than B/O in a lot of ways. This game is what B/O could’ve been had it not been neglected and tried to be every single popular trend in the gaming industry to stay relevant. It really is a shame how B/O ended up in its current and most likely unrecoverable state. But enough of B/O’s current state. Lets look at the positives of WHY this game is B/O but IMO better.
