Ruin Hunters
Ruin Hunters is a turn-based tactical game where players must lead a party of three heroes. Wander into the deep of the dungeons, defeat enemies, gather treasures, while your party grows in power.
Features:
▪ Turn-based combat (position your heroes, and choose the right skill for attack or defense)
▪ Use the environment (use it for cover, attack, or just simple push the enemy to it)
▪ Level up your heroes (learn new skills, talents)
▪ Momentum points (some skill generates points, some needs points to cast, but when the hero reaches the maximum momentum, he will be able to perform stronger actions with the skills)

BRAVELY DEFAULT II
When I wrote my initial review, I played ~6 hours and was skeptical of the game. My opinion has changed for the better in the intervening ~82 hours and I… kinda recommend this game, but not as part of the series it stems from:
It is an alright game, but not a great Bravely game. I played Bravely Default and Bravely Second years ago on the 3DS and they were the reason I bought this one. This is heavily influencing my view of the game, especially my list of negative points.
Positive:
- It has good performance overall, though one optional vulcano-themed dungeon was kinda laggy for me. The game lost the high detail background textures of towns one time at around 36h playtime and had one blackscreen at 70 hours (both fixed with a restart).

Bravely Default II (Steam Port) Rating
Overall Score: 9.1/10
Rating: Excellent
Note: This was for my first playthrough of Bravely Default II in 2020. I have
finished many square-enix games and expected this to be similar to an old
FF game.
Graphics
☐ You forget what reality is
☑ Beautiful - The art style of this game is very simple, similar to a mobile
game but many of the landscapes are beautiful. The job system designs are
unique and eye catching. The best way to describe it would be pleasant and

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.

Highly Recommended
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)

Blessings of No-more
So first off this game is a challenge! Expecting anything less would be stupid. While it may be challenging it still quite fun, its got a pokemon-esque combat system and some cool builds you can make with the blessings. I really enjoyed the character design and the art! If your up for a bit of a grind and a challenge its definitely worth the 99 cents. Pro tip, you decide to get the game make sure you equip your first blessing right away!

As someone who has seen this game evolve from its ‘RPG combat’ prototype form to that game that it is now, I can confirm it has since come a long way. It’s become its own game by now, with all kinds of neat features and gimmicks. It’s a nice homeage to classic JRPG combat within a more western style roguelike RPG.
You start out with next to nothing in an unkown realm, and you’ll have to fight your way to the exit. You’ll have to find blessings and fight monsters to grow in power and up your stats in order to survive the quickly growing power of the enemies. Every area is guarded by some form of boss monster which you’ll have to get through, but to get to him you’ll have to fight your way through monsters and mini bosses. For those confident in their platforming skills there’s also hidden areas where loot and powerups can be found through jumping puzzles. However, die once, inside or outside of combat, and you’ll have to start over.

Mind Over Mushroom
This is a very fun turn-based strategy game. The battles have enough difficulty to be frustratingly fun, but not so difficult that I want to quit the game forever. There is a lot of strategy involved. The character variety adds to the mechanics, as a well as the terrain. The style of the game is also aesthetically pleasing. After having it on my wishlist for several months, I’m glad I actually bought it.

Strike Team Gladius
Strike Team Gladius is a typical Wave Light game, and in my book that’s a good thing. The story serves as the framework for the game campaign’s 40 combat missions, so it’s all about building a team and tactical combat. Finishing the campaign twice took me about 100 hours.
There are 12 different classes, each with a male and a female version. They all have different stats, skills and abilities. You choose 6 of them and off you go. After each mission your units get EXP points and after roughly 5 missions they get an upgrade - if you can keep them alive, that is.

Update:
The game has improved tremendously in early access and a lot of the rough edges have been removed. And the difficulty curve has been mostly smoothed out. A tutorial has also been added that helps quite a bit in getting the player oriented. Two new classes (exo armor troopers) were also added an are a lot of fun! And now it is out of early access!
Definitely recommended for fans of tactical turn based games!
Original Review:
Strike Team Gladius is a solid squad based strategy game by WaveLight games. Your 6 squad members will fight aliens in a variety of outdoor environments, with a large variety of allies and enemies. It is currently in early access and has some rough edges, but progress has been fast on sanding them down. Definitely worth a buy if you are a squad based strategy fan!

We Are The Caretakers
This game is a great concept, and the Afro-futurist aesthetic adds a layer of depth I did not expect. Yes, it is early access/beta, so there’s bugs, but the dev team is available nearly 24/7 to discuss problems and hear feedback. This is indie game development done right, and what is already a good game will be an outstanding final product as a result. Think of the early access purchase as a long term investment that is going to pay off soon!
tldr: buy this. support indie games, and immerse yourself in Afro-futurist sci-fi!

One of my friends said this game is sci-fi super soldier park rangers and that is spot-on.
The combat is a blast. The game is still buggy in early access but that doesn’t block it from being a beautiful and fun experience. Also - that music, man. So. Good.
Check it out if you like: Final Fantasy-esque combat and graphics and music, Divinity Original Sim’s combat, rhinos, park rangers

DRAGON QUEST® XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age™ - Definitive Edition
Ignore my gameplay time, I played through this twice on the Switch version at almost 200 hours on each.
Dragon Quest XI is one of the best video games I have ever played.
In 1986, a bunch of Japanese game designers came together, took the RPG elements that were floating around in PC games at the time, combined them, ironed them out, and (mostly) streamlined them, and created a Famicom game not quite like anything before it. To ensure its success, they got Akira Toriyama for the art and character design when his manga, Dragon Ball, was flying off shelves. Pioneering the RPG sub-genre that would be known as the JRPG, Dragon Quest was born. Admittedly, the original hasn’t aged fantastically but was perhaps revolutionary for its time. The series was continued and, by Dragon Quest III in 1988, it was perfected. Every entry has taken the formula and added new layers, sometimes removing previous layers, but it still has the same rock hard core.

Before I get to the “good/bad” stuffs of this game, I want to note something that might make this game not your cup of medicinal herb tea. It’s “old-school”, so to speak. Visually sure the graphics looks pretty and all but the story and gameplay elements and even the music feels classic. It doesn’t bother me too much but probably because I’ve played several past DQ games since III. “Modern” gamers or first-timers to DQ however might dislike this.
Other reasons why you might dislike this game would be:
