DepowerBall

DepowerBall

DepowerBall is a competitive party platformer where the fate of every matchup is influenced by fast-paced gameplay and tactical decision-making.

Every match, each player starts with the same set of powers to try and accomplish their task of pleasing the Dragon Queen by feeding her delicious treats! When a player wins a round, he or she will earn the Queen’s favour, but will earn the wrath of the other players as they vote to take away one of the winner’s powers! Get ready to screw with your friends as you take away the powers they hold most dear and hilariously watch how they deal with the consequences!

In the world of Depowerball, you will need to adapt to the changing conditions, or get left behind as the other players take advantage of your weakened state!

Welcome to the pit.

River City Melee Mach!!

River City Melee Mach!!

It mostly reuses the same engine from Super Sports Challenge, but instead of several events it’s all-out fighting with a few new features. While that means it isn’t the most ambitious game on the devs' part, it’s still more of the proven good gameplay. Lots of characters, moves, and unlockables. Each team has a different storyline, and semi-randomized opponents adds a LOT of replay value. On the downside of things, the keyboard layout shares the same flaws as Super Sports Challenge (U, J, O… and cannot be remapped) but at least the controls are responsive. Controller support also looks grim, but if you can circumvent this with JoyToKey (or something similar), this game is lots of fun!

At first I have given a negative feedback to this game considering how I loved the Kunio series soo much, because the ai in endless mod was not responding. The good news is there is a small change in that. Developers are active, and I appreciate that

Cannon Brawl

Cannon Brawl

Nearly 200 hours in this game and if you look through my steam games, that doesn’t happen too often.

This is a great game for competitive RTS, the down-side is the community is rather inactive but does have its moments when it can get really busy!

Basically, think a game like the Worms game in RTS form with “towers” that you can upgrade. Although there could be more of a selection of weapons to use, the limited amount keeps a good balance and still gives a good variety mixed with all the types of characters you can choose from.

Test your caliber! Cannon Brawl is a 2D battle between two airships for control over territory and resources and with the enemy’s castle as the final objective. Gameplay wise I would describe it as kind of like real-time worms, the player must balance tower cooldowns with expanding and rebuilding structures. The game features a good range of characters and towers, with a handful of towers being selected for use at the start of a match by each player. The graphics and sound are functional and the multiplayer works fairly well. I’m personally a big fan, I think it’s well balanced and frantic, with a broad range of strategies being available and lots of fun.

Shape Arena

Shape Arena

This game is criminally underrated. It has a very simple premise, but is a really fun game to get used to with the different abilities for each shape. Me and a few friends love this game. The graphics and controls are simple but good, and the chalky aesthetic is really cool. Wish I could play it more but alas, COVID. #staristhebestshape

SuperTanks

**Important!!!!

Fixed “Error 0xc00007b” which happened on 64bit Systems!!!**

Party game for 8 players. Game is about fighting against opponents with tanks using various weapons.

First player always play using keyboard where others can use joypads. Preferred are xbox pads. (Full support for all kinds of joypads is not guaranteed)

You can fight in teams (from 2 to 4 teams) or deadmatch.

Weapons are bullets, lasers and bombs.

Players can collect bounses with different effects.

To make tank temporary faster you have to press special button. Using speed depletes your energy bar.

Energy bar is also used for firing laser so you have to decide what is more beneficient for you: laser or speed.

Beta online play. ( To play online as server you need open internet port 45544 or change it)

For now online play is only with keyboard.

Fight’N Rage

Fight’N Rage

Good game overall, takes a lot of things from classics maybe to the point where it starts hurting the game own identity.

Gameplay is a mix of classic beat-em-up with a few mechanics from fighting games, most enemies are archetypes you will recognize if you’ve played SoR1-3 and Final Fight, also features branching levels.

Has a fairly spiky difficulty curve (some level branches in particular are much harder) and has a really high difficulty ceiling (less so than say SoR2 but not by much), lower difficulties accessible enough for most to have some fun (especially easy mode which is almost insultingly easy), difficulty curve turns to a cliff once you start looking past hard mode which means most won’t ever see the last two difficulty levels.

Being a child of the 80’s and 90’s, there was no shortage of beat em‘ up games. Titles such as Streets of Rage, Final Fight, and Double Dragon were all the rage and kept you entertained for hours on end. Sadly, the current gaming landscape is nearly devoid of games such as these. Outside of a few gems that are still years old, beat em’ ups are pretty much dead. Thankfully, Indie developers don’t know this and are still cranking them out. This is where Fight’N Rage comes in!

I only recently heard about Fight’N Rage, and that was only due to me looking at another game – which I won’t mention. Instead, I began to see comments about a little-known game in development. One that had quite the following. My interest piqued, I started to search for the game and found little information. Buried beneath dead websites and Reddit posts, I found the name of the developer and the title – Fight’N Rage. A game that inspired by countless Beat ’em up titles from the past and puts a spin on it. There are references to those games littered everywhere as well.

Fireboy & Watergirl: Elements

Fireboy & Watergirl: Elements

Everyone’s favorite elemental siblings make an amazing return.

Alongside the original 4 temples, There are 3 more which makes for a grand total of 7 to play through and master.

The game is much more sleek and remastered, but it still doesn’t lose the magical feel of playing any of the past ones, not even forest temple.

Real player with 10.9 hrs in game

Worth every dime. Fireboy & Watergirl: Elements matches fun and addictive gameplay with challenging and innovative puzzles. With levels ranging from teleporters to ice, light sensors to green goo, Fireboy & Watergirl: Elements is ludicrously entertaining for two players and allows them to have an enjoyable few hours solving puzzles as the titular gaming mascots; Fireboy and Watergirl.

Kraken Smash: Volleyball

Kraken Smash: Volleyball

I love this game! It’s got the right amount of competitiveness to keep it fun and ongoing. If you like Lethal League, you’ll love playing this game with friends.

I’d love to see some sort of mini game for solo to act as a sort of tutorial but also something that allows a single player to enjoy the game more when playing by themselves. The bot is a little hard but I feel like it being hard really teaches you how to play and get better.

The only thing that truly bothers me is the specific, animated orange background that’s extremely distracting towards the bottom. It’s still playable, but it’s too similar to the ball color when it reaches the second hit. Other than that, I haven’t run into any other issues yet!

Mayan Death Robots

Mayan Death Robots

This is one of those games that are very easy to pick up but very hard to put down again.

It combines a Worm’ish vibe with Tetris-like terrain building tactics, and even a little Lemmings (talking about giving a huge salute to the Classics).

The game just lives and breaths the creator’s love of gameplay, indie artwork and good ol' fun-to-play.

Even my ‘only AAA games are cool’ children are super fans.

Mayan Death Robots is a game that just begs to be played on your game evenings with buddies. It’s a world of fun to

Real player with 23.1 hrs in game

Mayan Death Robots is a wonderful game to play with friends/family, it’s a lot of fun and laughing your ass of is pretty much guaranteed! It’s a lot of chaos, but in a good and entertaining way.

From time to time you have to bury the hatchet with your opponent to take on the mighty Mayan gods! Who (sometimes literally) really shake up the game! You can also destroy your opponent’s core in a lot of different and unique ways, and every robot is unique and has a certain playing style.

The game has a lot of character, the sounds/voices, the Mayans, the annoying Spanish mammals, the game play, graphics and let’s not forget about the humor in this game. All the little news reports in the main menu are definitely worth reading! The storyline itself is also really funny.
