Nosferatu Lilinor
At first glance, you might think Nosferatu Lilinor is a cute pixel platformer, like a kiddie Castlevania. Quite to the contrary, it’s a nail-bitingly difficult, heavily retro-inspired puzzle/action game, far closer to Solomon’s Key. It makes no apologies for its skill ceiling, which requires you to outwit a variety of stronger, faster, and deadlier enemies, despite having various vampire powers at your disposal. Undoubtedly fans of 80’s arcade games will find a nostalgic satisfaction here, but modern gamers may have a harder time to appreciate its value.

BloodRayne Betrayal (Legacy)
If you are familiar with the Bloodrayne series, then I must first warn you that it plays nothing like the previous games, an open mind is required should you decide to purchase. This is a challenging platform brawler that has 15 stages in total, not a Metroidvania with free roam. You can obtain secret skulls that can extend your life bar or bullet count, but you won’t unlock new move sets or level up.
In terms of graphics, I feel the screenshots didn’t do it much justice. While it may look like a flash game in still frames, the animation is extremely smooth and pleasant to look at. The stage backdrops are detailed and befitting in most cases, while the blood splatters never gets old. I do have some gripes on the lack of variety though, as every single enemy of the same type will look the same every time, not even a colour swap, this was just plain lazy.

OK, look at screenshots. That’s it. End of the story. BloodRayne: Betrayal is one of those rare games that look almost exactly as they feel. What can you expect from something that looks like this? Naturally, a tiny little spin-off that has pretty much nothing with the original series. Might & Magic Heroes, Assassin’s Creed Chronicles, HALO: Spartan Assault, Magicka: Wizards of the Square Tablet… You know the drill. And even though this game is not really important as a part of the BloodRayne series? Gameplay here sure does deserve your attention. See, BloodRayne: Betrayal is a game from WayForward Technologies. The guys who made the very first Shantae, Contra 4 and surprisingly great Aliens Infestation. And even though BloodRayne: Betrayal is not as good as those games above… it tries. It sure does.

BloodRayne Betrayal: Fresh Bites
Pros:
-Fluid and fast-paced hack & slash 2D action
-Game supports up to 120fps
-It works fine on both keyboard and Xbox gamepad controller
-Laura Bailey and Troy Baker are back to play as Rayne and Kagan
-Game can now render sprites at true 4k resolution (3840 x 2160)
-Decent blood & gore physics
-You can now select difficulty between Classic and Standard when starting new game
-Combo attacks and Dash mechanic feels smooth, snappy, and responsive
-2D artstyle was perfect; I love the atmosphere, filled with enriched music

A lot like the good old Castlevania games with difficult platforming and all. If you get good with the shmoovement you can pretty much fly across levels and the combat is a lot of fun.
My main complaint is how slowly Rayne turns around. I can’t tell you how many times I try to turn around and shoot only for the turning animation to be canceled and shoot off screen. PLEASE devs reduce time to turn around by half and combat would feel great. Also adding the Japanese main menu art as an option would really put a chef’s kiss on the entire package.

Damsel
Overview
Damsel is a small indie action platformer game created by Screwtape Studios. The game shines in fast-paced action, which will not let you breathe on the hardest difficulty. Although you play as a Damsel, the only ones who are in distress are the Vampires you fight.
Pros & Cons
Pros
-
Hothead difficulty offers the best experience as it is required to be fast and precise.
-
The variation of enemies and environmental barriers is satisfying enough for the whole game.

Let me preface this with a statement, I am not usually into sidescrolling platformers, and am inexperienced with other games of this genre.
I went into this game really unsure of what to expect. It had a badassed looking vamp hunter with corporate zombies. I liked the humour of it, I went head first into a rabbit hole.
I can’t stop playing! For a new game, it is getting regular updates and the changes that are being made is only making it better. The length of the levels means you can put in a good 20 mins of gameplay in between whatever you are doing and feel acomplished, however, on many occasions i’ve accidentally sat here for a couple of hours, trying to beat my high scores.

MELTY BLOOD: TYPE LUMINA
as a person who has lots of sex all the time, i can say that this game is 100% accurate to having sex with sexy women. like i do. everyday. this game did not make me horny however. i am not gay. i just have too much sex with real women to spend more than 15 minutes in this game. on the other hand i would recommend this game to people who do not have sex (unlike me because i have lots of sex with women a lot) as there is a naked woman in it and she is naked. she kinda looks like one of my many girlfriends who i have sex with a lot. i have lots of sex. i also an very handsome and women ALWAYS want to have sex with me because i am very muscular and handsome and very good at video games. all my girlfriends say im very good at sex and playing video games and being handsome. one of my girlfriends asked me to have sex with her but i told her i was playing a sex game instead so she started crying and became a lesbian and killed herself because i did not have sex with her. i have sex with women. not men. i am not gay. i am very cool and handsome so girls always have sex with me because i am very cool and sexy. my penis is very big. all my girlfriends like my penis because it is very big and i am very good at sex with my women. every woman ive had sex with is very sexy and so am i. i have lots of sex. i am also very handsome and sexy and i have lots of sex.

Melty Blood: Type Lumina is an excellent first fighting game for anyone looking to learn the basics without being overwhelmed, but it’s also an enjoyable game for fighting game veterans. Though the base roster is a bit limited given the price tag, the mechanics, art, animations, and general gameplay are all top-notch. Beginners can get their feet wet with auto-combos, and then gradually increase the sophistication of their gameplay by using more difficult combos and taking advantage of the many enjoyable game mechanics like Heat and Moon Drive. Most importantly, the rollback netcode makes it easy to find matches against people with good connections even if nobody nearby plays the game.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate HD
MIRROR OF FATE REVIEW
Welcome, again, to another instance of Steam Library reviews by Oniell Ford! (Never mind the altered name and avatar. It’ll go back to normal in due time.) As usual, the blacked-out areas of the review are spoilers, so avoid them if you want to experience the thrills of the game yourself.
This time, we’ll be reviewing “Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate HD”, the second installment in Mercury Steam’s “Lords of Shadow” trilogy. As many of you know, my review for the previous “Lords of Shadow” installment was pretty negative. Unlike LoS 1 and 2, Mirror of Fate turned out to be a much better game. Without further ado, THE REVIEW!
– Real player with 56.8 hrs in game
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow: Mirror of Fate is the second game in the Lords of Shadow Trilogy. After I played the first game- which I found to be a great first step albeit not without some noticeable flaws- I was looking forward to playing its sequels. And when I got to Mirror of Fate, it did not disappoint.
Whereas the first Lords of Shadow was primarily a hack and slash beat ‘em up with Prince of Persia style platforming, Mirror of Fate combines the combat of the first Lords of Shadow, the platforming of the original Castlevania, and the exploration of the Symphony of the Night-style Metroidvanias, mixing them all together to form a playstyle all its own.

Vampires Dawn 3 - The Crimson Realm
Vampires Dawn 3 is a more than worthy successor to the previous games of the series.
The story and characters are great, and some twists are simply spectacular. I enjoyed a lot the magic system with runes that can be combined to unlock different spells and to explore combat tacticts. The game world is believable and although there are many funny moments, too, the dark setting is one of a kind and the plot got me hooked from the first moment till the end. Especially the quite long prologue is simply phantastic.

andauernd in die Städte porten zu müssen wegen Blutmangel während des Dungeoncrawls.
