Hocus Defenders

Hocus Defenders

An Intense Tower Defense that combines the heat of resisting waves of hundreds of enemies with the need to use powerful spells through cards. Each game will be unique, and you will never encounter the same challenge twice. Also, you will need to unravel the story as you progress through the different worlds as the roguelike it is.

Build, upgrade and destroy!

Prepare your defenses, and protect the Hocus Tower against hordes of enemies who want to kill Abracadom, the Wizard of Time. Summon the mighty Crystal Towers, and destroy anyone who dares to approach your home. At your disposal you have a wide variety of towers, each with a unique and powerful attack. Remember to upgrade them on the battlefield, or you may have unwanted guests in the Hocus Tower…

Summon powerful spells!

The different Tarot decks gives the sorcerer their magnificent spells. Summon terrifying meteors, fill the ground with blazing embers or create mighty blizzards. Use magic at your will, but keep in mind that fate is capricious, and the cards will decide which spells you can use at any moment…

Thanks to his powers of time, Abracadom does not contemplate defeat. You can always go back to the past, and spend the loot you have obtained during battles. The Emporium X at the tower will provide everything you need for future battles, but everything comes at a price, of course…

Travel across the kingdom!

Rally with your tower across the kingdom, and travel through hostile territories (against you). From plains dominated by terrifying orcs, snow-capped mountains home of ice-giants, and even the classic labyrinth dungeon. And since it will be difficult for you to visit the same place twice, everytime you travel places you visited may change…

Runeverse: The Card Game

Runeverse: The Card Game

New F2P card game, quite fun is like starting Hearthstone from scratch, to my liking even better since it has more strategy due to various factors in the gameplay. It is a clone of HS very well made but it has things from other classic games such as declaring attacks and blocks manually, the cards have animation on the board where the characters are seen, play card from your hand (ambush).

330 free cards for now of which very few have a random rng effect. Seasons with prizes with real money. Esta muy fácil el farmeo de oro ya que la entrada de lo que seria la arena/battlegrounds es free. Easy gold farming and free. Full friendly for F2Players.

This is a good card game. Very similar to Hearthstone, so if you enjoyed that or MTG…you’ll like this, A LOT.

If the DEVS don’t make the same stupid mistakes Blizzard and Wizards did this could be a top tier CCG. Didn’t notice any bugs during my limited play time. Game ran smoothly with all mechanics working properly for the cards used. No ridiculous cash shop prices and “elite” cards can be earned through play (the way all games should be).

Also, I was pleased to notice no political or social propaganda in the GAME I was enjoying. (*cough Blizzard/Wizards)

Anima: Gate of Memories

Anima: Gate of Memories

Despite some bugs, none game breaking, and some occasional balance issues, this is a good game, with a very appealing artistic direction, great soundtrack, and a story which does not start very strong but builds up pretty finely over the course of the game.

The game isn’t all shiny though. The voice acting, overall, is quite weak, although some character do stand out of the bunch positively, and the gameplay can be a frustrating mess sometimes as you will be ganked a lot, and have to deal with quite a lot of projectile spamming.

ARCANE RAISE - CURATOR PAGE

Intro:

I’ll start by saying that I absolutely love this game, it’s a brilliant piece of true art. There are some glaring issues which could be attributed to having a small indie dev team, thus forgiveable. But those flaws could easily be forgotten as well because of the beautiful soundtrack, amazing level-design, very challenging gameplay and a deep story with multiple endings which all have different in-game paths.

Death Cathedral

Death Cathedral

Death Cathedral is a very challenging action RPG with tons of strategy elements.

You’ll need to build a powerful army of the living dead with enemies' flesh and bones within 15 days to kill the devil lurking in the deep end of the cathedral.

The battles in Death Cathedral contain not only realistic sword fighting, but also dashing and gorgeous skills. Parry, dodge, or roll - cope with different attacks in various ways. Observe and master your skills during combats and keep confronting stronger opponents.

A wide collection of characters:

More than 40 playable characters, each with a large number of well-designed and extremely vigorous attack actions.

Decay system:

You are controlling corpses of flesh and bones sticked together with black magic. Every exploration increases the decay of the body. The dead warrior collapses when the decay reaches 100%. The increase in decay is irreversible and you can only reduce the increase by applying “preservatives”. Be aware of the team selection ahead of every run!

Roster building:

You’ll constantly lose your warriors due to the decay process. But on the other hand, you’ll be able to create new corpses with flesh and bones of the defeated enemies. This means that you won’t be able to lay back and win easily with the same team over and over again. In order to lead the team forward, you will have to adapt to changes and achieve dynamic balance.

Resource management:

There’re all kinds of resources to accquire in Death Cathedral, which are essential for exploration. However, you can’t always have it all. You need to understand what’s really urgent and make your choices accordingly.

Unforseeable adventure:

You will encounter not only enemies but also facilities to aid you, and make you pay at the same time. Be aware not to backfire yourself by interacting in wrong scenarios.

Countless equipments:

Equipments offer not only boost to attributes, they also grant powerful specialties to your warriors. To make full use of the specialties, your lineup, enemy’s attributes, the area and many factors are under consideration. Specialties may also affect the items and facilities you use.

Immersive atmosphere:

Six distinctive areas can be explored, offering a solemn and dark medieval fantasy landscape.

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!

This is actually insanely difficult at parts and takes a lot of thought to prioritize abilities or even figure out the game at the start since there’s no tutorial. MAJOR DRAW BACK though I’m not sure if this is attended but the achievement numbers don’t match up to the levels so even if you beat them all you won’t get the achievements. Really neat though gets wild when you get to the silver area and the knights are smacking your people to narnia.

Diorama Dungeoncrawl

Diorama Dungeoncrawl

Designed to be “NES Hard”, this game does indeed feel like an homage to NES Castlevanias. Occasionally, depth perception was tricky due to the perspective, but overall, I like what the diorama-like presentation adds to the formula. I’m not quite done yet, but I’m a fan of the way the challenges progresses. I’d recommend this if you have the patience for some challenging rooms with potentially “cheap” deaths (depending on your perspective).

Real player with 8.7 hrs in game

One of the more challenging games by the developer. I can’t really think of another game like this on Steam that combines platforming and the sort of action here, but it was decent to play.

You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/sZg7HmGa_XE

This is a narrative driven puzzle game / escape room. It took me a little over 3 hours to complete this game, although I did have to cheat and look up some of the solutions online as I was completely stumped. The puzzles range from very easy to challenging. However, they’re all very logical and if you play close attention, you should be able to solve them without having to look up answers online like I did.
