Attack Heroes

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

Umineko: Golden Fantasia

A caveat: I played the game an hour after release, this review is the day after. Supposedly bug fixes are being done on the game, my opinions may change if the game is fixed.

An excellent game in many regards, but the version has new netplay that replaced the old. For many, playing online is unplayable - even when the previous version (non steam ver which I’ve played hundreds of hours of) worked fine with these players. For some, the new netplay works but there are some egregious problems.

1: someone joining a full lobby can disconnect currently playing people.

-EDIT: Most of the Japanese text issues are already fixed, and the remaining ones (credits, system voice unlock message, replay save prompt) are being worked. Now all those people who couldn’t play the game because the move list didn’t say “Sommelier Finger” instead of “ソムリエフィンガ” next to the clear picture of a quarter circle backwards + A/B/C can train in peace.

On to the actual review:

PROS:

-ROLLBACK NETCODE. It still has its share of minor issues to iron out as it gets wider usage, but what has been implemented here is vastly superior to the original Japanese PC version, and more than most poverty games get. (Did the original releases of Chaos Code and Blade Arcus even have netplay at all?)

Green Dragon/グリーンドラゴン

Green Dragon/グリーンドラゴン

Green Dragon is a side scrolling beat em up featuring 16-Bit Retro graphics and a banging techno sound track.

If you like games similar to streets of rage, final fight and of course Double Dragon you will appreciate this game.

The game is still in early development and its literally only half a level long and prone to bugs like enemies walking up a building, towards the sky out of the player boundary, and also prone to random restarts, but its already showing some awesomeness.

I especially cheered when the game paid a little Amiga homage on boot up, nice touch DEV :)

Please follow United Critics for quality reviews

Good things:

The game is working or at least the first part of the first level that was made so far. The sound and music is also working. Character sprites for one of 2 characters are also working and sprites of one enemy that we meet are also working. There is also 1 weapon you can pick up, 1 food item and 2 items giving points. You can walk and hit with fist or jump or even jump and kick! Pixelated graphic is nice and good looking. The good thing is that you can finish the game and get all 5 achievements right now in under 15 minutes.

Million to One Hero

Million to One Hero

I am having fun with it, but don’t get your hopes up for new levels being made. I had this game for about 1 1/2 months and have only seen 1 other person make 2 levels (the game has a lot of older levels though). Also, I have like 3 to 4 people clear the levels I have made (only can see who has cleared the level and not failed it.) , and people can’t up vote a level until they have cleared it.

You can also increase your rank by doing task in other players levels ( kill baddies with a bow, or collect orbs), but the rank doesn’t seem to do anything that I am aware of. Good luck trying to get a task done though if players don’t use certain things in their levels.

Another underrated lever editor platformer, Million to One Hero hits a great balance of fun platforming and adventure-based story. While the editor can take a bit to learn, it has a few key additions that separate this game from other level editors, such as NPCs and dialogue. It also features an adventure creator, where you can string multiple levels together to make a larger story.

As is, Million to One Hero is a solid level editor game, and while it could use a bit more work to make it great, it is certainly one worth checking out and I heartily recommend it.

Temple with traps

Temple with traps

The entire game is one map with fifteen rocks to collect. Rate 0/10 Do not buy! This game does not deserve a price tag unless there are 100 levels or more content. The name has nothing to do with the game play!
