Sacrifice Your Friends
Basically, this is the mechanics of overcooked mixed with the gameplay ideas of Gang Beasts. It super fun to dash around use and throw the weapons, some weapons are a little more useful than others, but they are all counterable. It controls well. A bunch of cool little stuff to unlock, like hats and characters, a bunch of different powerful gods to play, all with different gameplay styles. A whole bunch of beautifully designed maps/artwork, and a whole bunch of other stuff to explore. A great and simple versus game that is definitely worth picking up.

This is an amazingly fun item-arena brawler. The closest games I would compare it to are the Bomberman series and Killer Queen Black.
Your character avatar has no impact on your move set, which consists of punching, grabbing/activating an item, and throwing an item. Your associated Ancient One cult (Cthulhu, Dagon, and Nyarlathotep right now) does have a slightly altered move set, which are fitting for the time-limited avatar transformations (similar to a Smash Bros. Smash Ball). The game moves at such a frantic, hilariously fast and fun pace that it doesn’t need more than this.

Fhtagn! - Tales of the Creeping Madness
My group of friends and I have been searching for a game to match “The Yawhg” for a couple years now, and the day of prophecy has come. I cannot recommend this game enough, as it became an instant classic for us. It’s fun to play solo, but the meat of the game is playing with 1-3 others. The core loop is simple to pick up, but difficult to master: pick a location, pick one of two known actions to gain stats, a random event (based on your location) happens which you need to resolve, then you pass or fail said event and move to the next turn. Failure is not punished so much as laughed at and, occasionally, rewarded.

Fun game! A bit hard to grasp at the beginning. I didn’t really like the offered tutorial. I prefer tutorials that unfold while playing. Furthermore it would be great, if the controller support was better. I was amazed as I used a mouse the first time and was able to get tooltips for the different stats.
Using a controller we figured it out by guessing. :)
Sadly this game isn’t much known, so there aren’t many mods written (although the ones that are out are hilarious and fun to play!)
Can’t wait for the update. We played with 3-4 players for 2 days and got most of the achievements (first time I was compelled to do that). But getting the same stories over and over makes it boring over time.

Crawl
One of the best local multiplayer games ever made. My friends and I have played this almost every week without fail since launch - it’s that damn good. When we meet new people who claim they’re into games, we vet them on this and see if they have fun or can appreciate the depth of game mechanics. We love this game because there’s nothing like sitting shoulder to shoulder with a pal and howling with rage at a stolen kill, laughter at a horde of slimes causing a human to suddenly play a Shmup, or roars of hype when a close bossfight comes down to the wire. My short recommendation for this game is BUY IT. But now let’s get to why you should.

Oh man. Where do I begin with this game? There’s so much done right about this game that it’s very quickly becoming one of my favourite rougelikes. Let’s just dive right into the dungeon and start chopping off the pros and cons of this insanely unique and fast-paced competitive Gauntlet-inspired roguelike.
Pros:
+Fast paced couch competition. The game is super quick to pick up and just as wasy to learn, utilizing only the movement directions and two buttons.
+Most unique idea for a rogulike in a long time. The fact that AI or other friends control your ENTIRE JOURNEY is so fresh and innovative that I honestly can’t think of a game to compare it to.

Sign of Silence
honestly a really great game for the stage its at people expect too much for an unfinished game but its great if your into the horror survival escape, yes i have found a few bugs myself like duping items and being able to climb things i should and shoot myself up things really fast and push myself through certain things but im sure this will all be deal with. before i figure all this out can i just say i fucking jumped a fair few times and also had my brother scary the shit out of me while playing it. i still give this game an easy 8/10 not just for where its at but also this could easy get better numbers in the future my only thing is i with there were more monsters its fun when you see one for the first time and dont know what the fuck to do or how it works and i feel like if there were more it would really spice up trying to take a short cut.

Let me start by saying that this game is a solid 6/10 for me, so here is my reason why.
This game has it perks but it also has it’s cons. for starters the game is great when it comes to its audio and atmosphere: The player models along with the creature models are solid, the map is great and pretty big with a lot of detail.
Now for where the game doesn’t excel at…
The game has many bugs that effect the gameplay, which in turn destroys what made the game great, the first that comes to mind is the witch. Me and my friend found a bug where the witch can’t go onto porches and into building making her less scary and it destroys the atmosphere. So if you ever spawn the witch just run for a porch or into a building, its safe there. Plus people have been leaving comments about fps problems. I have yet to run into that problem but that’s not a total surprise given that my PC is pretty solid. The items required to escape also are a bit of an issue in the game because the game becomes less difficult when you find four motors for the boat while heading south where the boat escape location.

Brimstone Brawlers - Early Access
Very promising game!
The game is beautiful, really good gameplay mechanics, nice rythm, interesting characters, this is a lot of fun no matter if you want to play it casually or if you want competitivity, both works really good!
Almost single developer so it’ll take a bit of time to reach its full potential but nothing can go wrong with so much passion! Dev is actually really active to take all the feedback from players (i’d say everyday) and really efficient so this is really reassuring to see that :).

I am not one to leave reviews, but this indie game really struck me.
I currently have a little over 5 hours in this game and I simply can not get enough and am pleasantly shocked by how much this game has to offer from replayability and skill cap ceilings. Talk about being competitive and enriching, every character has their own unique playstyle and combos that allow you to try to perform and perfect yet such a simple idea that I was able to pick up on the concepts immediately and over time have found out more and more things as I played, making me feel like I am growing with the game which is always incredibly fun.
