A game to congratulate. The main character pulls you into the game either by the playability or with the story. The scenarios are diverse and wake up your attention - the music also. You can “play” with the time of the game and stay by the small games and quests inside of it. It’s fun. I love it.
I miss the times when games were made to leave something to the player. I miss games like this.

Carpathian Night
The plague of Dracula’s army continues to spread across the Carpathians, growing stronger with each victim it claims. Those who attempt to resist are met with a fate worse than death. If Dracula is not stopped, he will bring everlasting night to the world.
Only two champions have answered the call to bring divine justice to Dracula and his minions. Abbot Dorin, warrior monk and leader of the Kelemen Church, and Irina Dracul, vampire, pyromancer, and ancestor of Prince Dracula, have joined together to drive back the army of the dead and hunt down the legendary vampire himself. Zombies, vampires, werewolves, ghosts, and demonic beings of every kind await all who dare trespass into their master’s domain! Those who survive the horrors of the Borgo Pass will reach the gates of the ancient Castle Dracula, where the real nightmare begins!
Carpathian Night is a tribute to retro horror side-scrollers and the classic monster films that inspired them. Battle your way through legions of iconic monsters, avoid deadly traps, uncover the secret history of your monstrous foes, and face the legendary Lord of the Vampires within his own ancestral home! Answer the call, mighty hunter, and drive the wickedness back from whence it came!

Ninja: Rise of a Hero
My love! I miss you so much! The sneaky Dracula kidnapped you on the eve of our wedding… All my life I’ve trained for this moment! And was not ready for it…
I can endure any pain and take any blows without moaning!
I can imitate the sounds of any animals and birds!
I cleverly climb trees and swim in the water like a fish!
I am impeccable in Ninjato and the art of throwing shuriken!
I can see perfectly in the dark!
And I could not see the enemy in the daylight…

Citadale - The Awakened Spirit
Scanlines should be a mandatory feature for all retro-style games. It adds so much to Citadale.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU3qTfPmGjU
If you want to see Citadale and its difficulty in action, watch my video. Take old-school Castlevania, add a second item slot, the generosity of checkpoints, and a couple of odd design choices. Stages can be tackled in any order, with the castle acting as a sort of hub. Bosses are painfully difficult.
You have a shield that is sometimes useful. If you pick up a subweapon, I hope you were paying attention because the one you just had is gone. (This is my only serious complaint. I wish you dropped the previous one so you could switch back, especially with the two slots available.) Some enemies bleed poison that will hurt you. Being deliberate and having good timing is the key to everything.

I wanted to like this game but I couldn’t… Graphics are fine, music is OK, animations are meh, enemy IA non existent and story, I didn’t gave it the chance.
IA is the main reason I’m not recommending this game. Enemies seems to move randomly or using some kind of pathfinding algorithm in order to reach you, which some times is just painful. There’s a boss who will move immediately after being hit, sometimes it will move in your direction… sometimes it wont, aaaand if you enter the room without a subweapon you can throw upwards you might end up dying of boredom waiting for the boss to move down so you can reach it. Also I don’t recomend it because I hate instakill spikes…

Janosik 2
Janosik 2 is a continuation of the story put in motion by the first game. The famed Slovakian highlander and robber Janosik just finished a quest to rescue his comrades and is now on the path to defeat even more enemies – both mythical and historical. This time around, it’s not the band of brothers that’s missing, but rather Janosik himself. Caught with an ingenious ruse, our hero must rescue himself, his beloved and make new friends on the way.
STORY
Accompany Highlander Janosik, Bogdan the Werewolf and a cloak-wrapped Vampire as they explore the dark and trap-filled castle von Zur, house to the nefarious kidnapper Baron. Trek through dense mountain forests that are home to feral dogs, headless skeletons and more, all bent on making your life harder. Bear in mind though, that there might be something even more sinister waiting for you at the end of the journey…
A bigger adventure
Three new chapters, each one bigger and filled with even more gameplay than the whole original Janosik game - and filled to the brink with new characters, enemies and environmental threats and traversal options
These Walls Were Meant to Be Broken
For the first time ever, use the powerful club of Bogdan the Vampire to smash walls to smithereens and enter places formerly off-limits
Die, Die and Repea…die Again
Lightning quick reflexes, good muscle memory and thinking two steps ahead will sadly - not be enough to finish Janosik in one sitting. But at least the checkpoints are plentiful and restarts - instanenous
Is This A Joke to You?
A highlander, a vampire and a werewolf enter a dungeon… and emerge - hopefully - with the Highlander’s rescued bride while meeting, fighting and defeating everyone and everything that stands in your way
Scenes That Cut
Enjoy the short breaks in an exhilarating experience by admiring the cutscenes that signify important events of Janosik, beautifully presented in all their full, 100+colors, hand-drawn and animated glory. You wil never skip a cutscene featuring a mountable sheep again
Get Collecting
The legend says Janosik robbed the rich to give to the poor. Janosik 2 makes good on that first part, with a real dearth of treasures, coins, diamonds and other precious stones to grab from the coffers of the manacing and power hungry villains of the game

Shikari Rising
Better prepare yourselves to die!
Shikari is tagged as “souls-like” and although I have only played a few of the Dark Souls games, this is the first game in the “souls-like” category in this graphical look that I have played.
You had better keep your focus here as one too many wrong moves and you will die, enemies in groups are brutal and some lone enemies are quite formidable, and bosses hit heavy and can hold their own no problem.
This is in early access and although I have not made the best progress over 12ish hours in game….the current development of Shikari Rising as it is now seems very stable, I have had no crashes, no bugs big enough that I have noticed to alert me, minor things that with time could be sorted out “looking below” is the only action that does not seem to do anything for now or yet, but that is not game breaking at all, and there is quite a bit to enjoy here for a early access game, despite a lot of dying, I am enjoying the game!

Both the visuals/animations and music of Shikari Rising are already really lovely. As a fan of monsters, I love their design.
I’m not too good at these kinda games, and still need to practice more, but I’m enjoying it a lot; it’s very fun and quite difficult. I recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a challenge. :)
I’ve also encountered no bugs so far, and that’s a huge plus.
