Elmarion: the Lost Temple
A wonderful dungeon crawler, a bit like might and magic. A beautiful world, endless dungeons, and crowds of monsters - everything we love. But there is no turn-based combat (although they promise to add at the time of release). There is no big map. Unobvious increase in levels. And what I don’t like is that you can’t make a save. But in general it is quite an interesting and enjoyable game.

⭐️I do not even know. It seems like a cool game. But there are also enough cons. Some things, of course, are debatable. But here’s my vision:
⭐️Pros:
1. A fairly rare genre of party RPG in the first person. I haven’t seen such games for a long time.
2. Generation of dungeons. The idea is not new. But I was glad that it was implemented here.
3. A sufficient number of heroes to choose from, a large number of abilities of the heroes. You can make a variety of games and potentially play the game several times.

Tortured Hearts - Or How I Saved The Universe. Again.
I’m not much of a review writer, so I’m not going to do an in-depth analysis, but 150+ hours in I’ve become completely addicted to this game. As advertised, it’s old school in the larger sense of its design and flow, but it has elements and specifics that are entirely unique. It is difficult at first to figure out how some things work, so you do what pretty much all old school RPG’rs did: play for a while, figure out how things work, then start a new game for real. There’s a huge demo that can serve that purpose for you. This is not one of those games with 40 hours of cut scenes and an onscreen arrow pointing you to what you need to do next, where flashy graphics (that sometimes even work) substitute for game play. You will get quests that you will not be able to solve until well into the game, and you’ll have to stop and think about where you need to go and who you need to talk to. If you want a game that holds your hand and points you to every answer, this is not for you. If you want to solve things on your own, can handle some frustration and you value the game over flash, I think this is a great game for you.

Game has some great potential but just far too frustrating. I fully get the concept of trying not to “hand hold” to make the game more difficult, but so much of this game is just running all over the map just hoping you find the right person to talk to and trigger the correct speech line. The entire game is mostly just based on brut force.
Then there is the combat system. You have no control at all over what your team does in combat. To make it worse, the AI is horrible. You will find your team wasting mana casting a cc spell on an already cc’d enemy or casting the same spell over and over that the enemy is immune to. A strong monster will be one hit away from death and your mage will cast three straight buffs instead of killing the monster.

Army of Tentacles: (Not) A Cthulhu Dating Sim
EDIT June 20, 2016: The New Game+ DLC is here!
The DLC improves the game a fair bit in my opinion. I am a sucker for dating sims, as my library can attest. This one keeps it interesting by not letting you date everyone at once, and having the characters actually mention something about it. Unfortunately, no one appears to be polyamorous, but there’s definitely more than just heterosexuality, which I know a lot of people look for in a game. The quests here are still just as ridiculous, but I grew even more attached to characters, especially ones I didn’t know you could recruit in the base game! It’s zany, keeps the humour, and lets the player in on the inner thoughts of various characters. Also university is always a fun setting to play a game in.

Our Hero! Two
I really really enjoyed the game so much that I played it twice. The most funny part is definitely the opponents and the author has an irony and a way of creating the story that really fascinates me and made me laugh a lot (I had a lot of lol moment). A masterpiece

A really cool adventure and a well written story. Locations and musics are awesome. The combat system could be improved in future games, but it is already fun to play.

Costume Kingdom
I wanted to wait to post a review until I had completely beaten the game- (All of the achievements, that is. Though there is one side-quest I haven’t finished yet). Overall, I really enjoyed the game! I liked the stylized cartoony visuals and the fun Halloween aesthetic! The different Hallowmon were unique looking, and interesting. The open-world is large enough to make it interesting to explore, and the side-quests were also fun. The story being told is intriguing as well, and I of course won’t spoil anything in this review. The extra things you can get by collecting candy is nice too, such as unique trails, and a really cool retro-effect. I’ve had a ton of fun with this game, and I believe that I will continue to enjoy it! I also cannot wait to see what Stratton Studios creates next!

Steven Universe: Unleash the Light
I love this franchise and the light series is one of the best Innovative fun RPG I had played in years.
I was really looking forward to play the 3rd game so much after (SAVE THE LIGHT) and
here I am.
On the Downside this game was created for mobile market first so expect
downgrade from the second game that was develop for console instead.
It is like the first game (ATTACK THE LIGHT), but other than that it still have
elements of surprises of the second game had. The game feels like a little

If you’re a fan of steven universe you should enjoy this game greatly! Not technically necessary to have played the previous two, but I definitely recommend it.
Fair warning: Unlike save the light, which was developed for consoles from the start, this game was originally mobile only (apple arcade). As such, movement is restricted to just transitioning between grids on an overall map like in the very first game which was mobile only (attack the light) rather than full free movement like in save the light. Regardless, the result is a game that’s a lot more stable than save the light was on release (which, from what I recall, was grumpyface’s first venture into making a non-mobile game, and still an amazing experience)
