Breakneck City

Breakneck City

One of the reasons I love Steam is I keep finding games I didn’t know I need. I feel that developers loved the Dynamite Deka series and wanted to create a similar game but in a Double Dragon mold. The gameplay handles well with a controller and the boss fights have real character. One sword wielding foe tosses one of his blades in air to free up his hand and spit a fireball across the screen. Small touches like this indicate a love for the genre.

A fantastic throwback to 3D beat ‘em ups, a genre that is woefully undeserved given that we mainly throwbacks to 2D beat ‘ems ups that are inspired by the likes of Final Fight or Streets of Rage rather than games following the Dynamite Deka or Spikeout lineage.

Combat is pretty simple, there’s no Devil May Cry style move list, but the fundamentally solid basic attacks and a great feeling dash combine with top notch level design, clever environmental interactions, dynamic enemy types make for a really fun time.

This is shit - you take out the first target - you can’t exit down the side of the mountain where the path is? You can’t climb or get through trees, jump or scramble over rocks. The enemy can climb the slope, but you can’t climb down?? You have to go through the enemy??? Like you would in real life?? I mean how many rounds does it take to kill one person?? Even a shot to the head and they are still firing at you!!!!!!!!!! Where’s the logic???

It’s like one of those really frustrating old style games where the enemy can shoot round corners or see you long before you see them, even when you are in cover - I mean really??? Sometimes you can get stuck on an element of the jungle like behind a tree or a rock and then its like you are caught on it????? You can go half way through a rock as nothing is solid but yet you can’t shoot the heavy gunner through the trees, as the space between the trees is solid???? Good try but so far off its untrue!!!

To gamers: The game has an amazing story line tied to a challenging, I mean, really challenging mission flow. Well worth the price for a piece of action influenced by the war against terrorisms in Sri Lanka. Tips: If you are a stealth lover, use the environment to your advantage. If you go guns blazing, aim for the head. For the heavy gunner, aim for legs. Play in “Easy”, because the game is full of surprises even in easy. Play through one time on easy and then try the higher difficulties.

To developers: I can not thank you enough for the amazing, breath taking, master piece you have developed. Finally, the battles of our heroes will live on, specially thanks to the amazing challenging mission structure. I played on easy and still I was beaten countless times by the AI. Excellent work for an early access game. I could give more insights on what bugs / things I found that could use your attention. Also, the whole live gameplay can be found on Part 1 (https://youtu.be/ZkDwFmVL_9c ) & Part 2 (https://youtu.be/x5ew2167kU8 ) if it helps your QA. I played on 4K Epic settings and felt there is more room for the texture, color and resolution improvements in both cut scenes and game. Waiting for your next game to purchase :) Keep it up…!

Well..it is fairly impressive for a solo dev.

However, I fell off the map in the first level and had to restart. I then got stuck in a pit in the second level and decided to stop playing.

There is a lot of effort here but it is definitely not worth the $20 price tag.

Text to speech is not fun to listen to, especially when the English localization is poorly done.

This needs a lot of work and a price reduction.

I can’t see the entire window of the game. The weapon upgrade button is off the visible screen for my computer. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Interesting game but unfortunately the game breaking bugs make this game not enjoyable at all. The second boss (WebNav) spawns the bubbles inside its shield so is impossible yo kill it. When you defeat all the USB spawners (WebNav boss again) the camera changes making the boss just a chore.

RAYZE

Pros:

-Easy to understand and get into

-Competitive speedgame

-Visuals, amount of stats, in-game leaderboards

-Devs are pretty transparent with their intentions in the discord

Cons:

-Some levels are poorly designed, like forcing you to slow down to beat them(unless you are a god)

-No in game replays(yet)

-Lack of conclusive anticheat until the devs see fit

Game is overall pretty fun. Has a lot of replay ability if you are a speedrunner. I would recommend it as I know some of the cons are getting changed in the future. Join the discord!

(1.5hrs) I have nowhere near as much time currently as I want to put in, but this game is so fun. It looks similar to Beat Saber with the aesthetics, feels like an aim trainer almost, and is just a satisfying rhythm game. Once you get patterns down it becomes easy and extremely fun. The music is also pretty damn good, the only issue is the FOV is locked at 60.

(~11.5hrs) i am ahead of all my friends on the leaderboard for every level and all of my hours have been trying to do that….

i love it. get this game.

JUMANJI: The Curse Returns

JUMANJI: The Curse Returns

Not what I expected being honest, I was envisioning more interactivity such as those in mario party games, it’s not a bad game but it does feel lacking. After playing for around 11 hours roughly I can say I have adapted to the game-play of dragging the corresponding item to either another character or the enemy at hand, it can be somewhat challenging, especially trying to get the save every location achievement which I had to enlist the help of a friend as the Ai was not working out, this is as far as core game-play goes however.

Avalon: Sacred Crusade

Avalon: Sacred Crusade

“Beware the schemes of mortal men. For all the shortness of their lives, they lust to leave their mark. Before this hubris, even the Gods can be tumbled.” - Merlin the Outcast

To some, Avalon is an idea, a myth, an ideal, perfection; it is a place outside of time or space, an eternal edifice. To others, it is home. The Avalonians share much with Humanity, but one cannot remain in Avalon for long without becoming something… else. Long ago, in the forgotten age of The Migration, the Covenant was formed: the bridges between realms would be closed.

Their greatest criminals, however, continued to be cast out forever to languish in the mundane realm. Some lived as Oracles, Saints, or Wizards. Others we remember in legends of darkness: Sorcerers, Shapeshifters, Blood-drinkers, scattered across time.

Now though, the realms grow close once again, the veil between them weakening by unknown machinations. The Grail has been stolen, and without it, evils long buried are rising in ever greater numbers. The call to battle has gone out for the first time in this age, and many have answered it. These new defenders of the ancient Covenant must not fail, for the fate of both realms now hangs in the balance.

A Blast From the Past

Return to an era before all stats were homogenized into just health and mana. Avalon: Sacred Crusade takes heavy inspiration from popular RPG titles of the 1990s and features rich character customization that allows you to select your character’s origin, attributes, spells, and equipment.

No easy recoveries or quick wins here. Deal with a classic death penalty system where you drop your items on the ground and need to retrieve them. Experience what it was truly like to play early MMORPGs and graphical MUDs.

You may choose to adventure alone, however, the game features a robust party system which allows up to six players to work together in the same group. For the best experience, bring your friends - or make new ones in the game!

An Authentic Retro Experience

Listen to classic 16-bit Sound Blaster effects while you slash away at pre-rendered 2D sprites. You can experience all of this without the usual hassle of running a retro game on a modern system. Avalon: Sacred Crusade will run on any DirectX 10 capable PC!

Hanefield Asylum

For a solo developed game, this played pretty well. The jump scares weren’t obvious like in a lot of games, and offered a good sense of fear throughout the game. The additional content after you complete the game was great. A lot of action in a small amount of time, and added more depth to the story of Hanesfield Asylum. Definitely a great buy for less than $10.

I actually had some fun playing this - I thought it was a great premise and the spooks did work really well. However the lack of a save game is a major thumbs down. I can cope with the excessive shots enemies need to bring them down and some glitches here and there - but I’m doing a series on this game on my YouTube channel and haven’t finished the game in one go so I’ve had to go back to the start every time I want to play the next section.

Enjoyed the horror theme though, the devs nailed it.
