A neat little shared splitscreen game where two players completing on various game modes. It is a simple game where each person only has one button to use, A for the left and L for the right side. There are also plenty of different game modes to battle a friend with, from races, sports like golf, soccer and archery and duels. The graphics and visuals are also simple with its 8 bit style which adds to the arcadey aesthetics. Though, it is only really playable if you have another person as that is how the game is intended to be played. Though an addition of an online mode would definitely be great so then you would be able to play with each other online as opposed to it being only a local game. Though overall, it is recommended if you want a 2 player versus game and have someone else to play with. Some time can be sunk into, having a bunch of casual fun as there are plenty of challenges you can play against a friend with. It is fun to have in short bursts and come back to from time to time.

Super basic. Doesn’t seem like there’s much to the tactics except “hold the fire button down until you die then click New Game”.

PROS:

  • A decent variety of enemies. There are about 3-4 different skins for each monster, but they each have varying attacks and behaviours to keep things interesting.

  • A large selection of craftable perks to potentially obtain.

  • The controls handle well. Dodging and attacking feels responsive and enjoyable.

  • Action-packed generally speaking. Enemies spawn in waves throughout a day, but if you take too long, the next wave will spawn in to keep you on your toes.

  • Satisfying and appropriate sound effects.

Great little arcade game. It’s difficult and has a lot of random elements that can make it anywhere from challenging to near impossible, but with games being so fast/short and the ability to restart in a couple of seconds it’s not normally frustrating.

If you like old school keyboard bashing this is for you.

-Additional Game Mods

-Translations FR ES IT POR BR DE

(-And eventually a level editor, because… why not?)

Street karate 3

Street karate 3

A very interesting Walking game with an equally interesting soundtrack. The game is similar to games from consoles from the 2000s. But this is only a plus-the game causes a lot of nostalgia. Despite the genre of “indie”, this game can kill several of your hours.

Real player with 10.6 hrs in game

We will play as a karate player who will have to fight a large number of opponents exceeding his strength, but we will have at our disposal additional weapons, such as rebar or knives. In addition to the usual throws, jumps, grabs, our hero has a combo punch with which you can scatter opponents in a circle.

The game will please the drawn graphics and cool soundtrack.

Reminds me of Double Dragon meets a cartoon from yesteryear, a fun, silly romp!

I enjoyed the gameplay is simple and casual but most of all the art. It was so cool to feel like you are in an old cartoon. I will keep on playing it to move to the other levels.

Lux mina

Lux mina

In this unique roguelite platformer, you can create an individual playstyle by enhancing your loadout and combining many different runes.

Kill enemies and improve your loadout to master the dungeon!

Gather runes to improve combat skills

In Lux mina, 20 different runes are giving you abilities and increasing your stats. Your loadout can include 4 runes. There are active and passive runes, available in four tiers.

  • Active runes give abilities and new attacks

  • Passive runes increase or boost stats

Runes can be dropped by slain enemies, found in treasure chests, or bought with orbs at the seller at the end of each stage.

Your loadout is the key to master the dungeon!

Push through different stages

Each stage is randomly generated and has its own biome, so you are always discovering new surroundings. That is why two runs will never be alike.

Fight a variety of enemies

Out in the dungeon are twelve completely different types of enemies waiting for you to be slain and looted. Each fight drops orbs or runes to enhance your loadout.

Earn upgrades to boost your stats permanently

Each run gives you credits to unlock new skins for your character and to increase your base stats. Therefore, you can dive deeper into the dungeon with every run!

Story of a Gladiator

Story of a Gladiator

Story of a Gladiator is a small arena beat ‘em-up game in which we try to avoid getting a bloody nose.

The story is told quite quickly: Our family and friends are killed by the Romans and we manage to escape so that we do not end up in slavery… or worse. Finally, we spend the day with fighting and drinking alcohol in the company of shady ladies - until one day we meet a famous gladiator who gives us some advice on how to become a great champion ourselves. And so our first fight of many begins in the arena…

The game is very fun and interesting, we definitely need more Gladiator games as there hasn’t been any good one’s in modern times, it’s very sad that such genre is not being looked into by developers and game studios. Ryse of Rome had gladiator mode, but it’s not like Gladiator Begins/Road to Colosseum. I am glad this game came out, and hopefully people show interest in this game, so we can get more of this genre.

As for the game

The game is very fun and actually very hard, my only issue with it is the lack of story and in depth customization, the game feels very limited in that aspect, it’s not even as good in terms of depth as sword and sandals to be honest. The graphics are amazing, the armour looks very nice, I just wish there was more depth to fight styles, weapon, character customization, story arc, training and maybe companions and such in fights. There is a lot the game can do, I played all the levels and have 3 stars in all of them, took me 9hrs total play time

The game has interesting mechanics and the right difficulty level that manage to grab your attention and make you want to keep playing.

There are very satisfying moments when you combo elements and snowball the entire run. But it can also become frustrating when the RNG plays against you.

In the end, its a nice game to play and would benefit a lot from having a coop multiplayer!

A Delightful Twist on the “Perma-Death” Idea.

I Enjoyed this. It’s $7.99. Decent. Not much else to say.
