Operation F.A.T.E.
It’s 2123 and robots have invaded the Earth. Humanity has been forced to evacuate the planet in search of a new home out in space. An organization called Invasion Force (I.F.) has assembled to investigate the cause and find any means of reclaiming the planet.
Enter Ark, a young member of I.F. who’s been tasked with fighting off the robots/automata on Earth, as well as reconnaissance duties. But his recurring eerie dreams as of late speak a mystery he is determined to pursue no matter what in hopes of finding answers to his long lost past…
This game (will/already) feature(s):
-
Bullet hell elements, toned down (made easier) for the general public + a unique bullet hell concept to make the game a little more interesting.
-
Random generation (RNG). Tons of it. For this game, it means:
-
A hidden, randomly generated mystery (yes, randomly generated).
-
An infinite number of bosses. Certain enemies (including bosses) are randomly generated, meaning they may have different weapon attachments, phases, and even behaviors.
-
Levels are randomly generated, as is the world map (which of course extends to different types of enemies, items, etc.)
Randomly generated dialogue options for the player to choose from.
-
A chat feature with infinite dialogue possibilities where the player can talk to the characters. This has been implemented at a basic form, but is not included in Early Access.
-
An immersive plot
-
3+ lovable characters (with depth of personality).
** If you are prone to epileptic seizures or anything of the sort when playing games with flashing lights/screens, I would advise you not to play this game.
** There are some horror elements, but they are “polite” (no instant jumpscares with loud noises).

Rick Henderson
Nice but kinda smallish game similar to sterenden (or whatever) with some ravin' music
Its fun and challangeing but i feel it could use some more work on the enemy patterns and such as you tend to get the same configuration of enemies alot and some of them have enemies coming from behind and theyre no threath at all but slow to appear and slow to kill and gets kinds boring after 10 times things like that should be reworked. otherwise it plays and feels good.

Rick Henderson
Rick Henderson brings in a familiar flavor of a classic arcade experience. Developed by Fat Pug Studio’s, Rick Henderson is an endless horizontal scrolling space shooter.
Rick Henderson is paying a big tip of the hat towards old school 16-bit shoot ‘em ups.
Gameplay: As soon as you get into the game, you will be thrown off guard because of the lack of pointers and button maps. And not only that, but the game doesn’t let you know about the states, weapons, abilities, or how to use them; you’ll just have to figure them out for the time being.

## Gang of Paws
Fun game!!! Hard, but very fitting for a roguelike. Quite unique battle system and CRAZY cute animals (obviously the development team of this game has a great sense of humour). There is a lot of content and different ways to build up your character with different spells and power-ups. A sort of strategy and action game combo!

Gang of Paws is a roguelike deckbuilder with real-time battles.
You start with the bunny and need to find a portal on each map. After beating the boss, the portal will appear and you'll get onto the next map. If your HP reaches zero, the run is over. You can get new powers, cards and upgrade them throughout your run.

## Final Winter
A fast paced rogue-like where combat is more about the amount of time lost for the xp gained. You have 10 minutes to get as deep as you can before the curse takes your life. This takes my usual approach to rouge-likes of careful, deliberate precision and tosses it out the window. The game compels you to take each floor faster than the run before to get deeper and grants you powers that help you traverse the floors with greater speed and yet the cave isn't exactly the same as the runs before.
Enjoyable, challenging and leaves me feeling accomplished after a good run, and yet still feeling like if I could only run it faster than ______ wouldn't have died. Who is next and how many can I save I wonder?
*– [Real player with 7.0 hrs in game](http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198025018002)*
Monster Fighting? Check. Puzzles? Check. Well made characters? Check. Good story? Check. This game has everything you need to keep you entertained for many hours. I have played through once (and lost) and it was very fun. I will be playing again. That being said I don't know the replayability of the game. But it is for sure worth the cost for the hours of enjoyment.

## Sweet Surrender VR
nearly 10 hours in, and I'm a HUGE fan of this game. It has some bugs, but definitely makes up for it by being one of the most fun VR games currently out there by far, in my opinion.
let me say first that the reviewers not recommending this must be incredibly hard to please, you know the type… the gamers who throw controllers, and rage about bugs.
the game just came out, bugs are to be expected. with that said though, I do think this should have been listed as early access.
I've encountered plenty of game breaking bugs, such as:
*– [Real player with 17.1 hrs in game](http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198056601286)*
I wanted to like this game a lot. But in the end, I couldn't. The core concept of the game is great, but it has too many design flaws and way too many bugs.
The Good:
- Great performance
- Chip upgrade system is fun in concept
- When firing on all cylinders, combat situations are a lot of fun
The Bad:
- Bad weapon balance. Two handed weapons are almost impossible to use. I would be astonished to see anyone actually complete a level with a shotgun. Dual wielding automatic weapons will always be the superior choice in every situation.

## Troubled Passage
Troubled Passage is a Roguelike ARPG with a very peculiar combat system based on mouse swipes. This system allows for some interesting combat encounters that feel more engaging and rewarding. The mouse is an extension of your sword.
You are set to travel across five regions and reach an old port. There you will take a ship that will take you far away. That's all you know for now. But beware, these lands are filled with undead creatures, traps and other nasty travelers. You should always be careful, even if you decide to share the road with a companion.
#### Character Creation
Choose your character appearance and select a trade. Trades are like character classes that defines with which types of weapons and types of damage your character is proficient with, gaining a buff when using that type of weapon.
#### Combat
Attacks are performed by swiping your mouse in a certain direction (up, down left or right). These swipes will trigger the combat skill that you have assigned to that direction.
There are multiple skills to learn throughout the game for each type of combat:
Unarmed
Onehanded
Twohanded (skills are missing at this point of development)
Bow (skills are missing at this point of development)
#### Loot
Troubled Passage loot system is built on the idea that "if they have it, you can have it". No longer will you get disappointed if a heavy-armored-cool-looking enemy only dropped a knife and an apple. You want that armor! Well, good news! In Troubled Passage, enemies will drop exactly what they are wearing (stats included). You can strip your enemies of everything and claim it for yourself. This means strong enemies equals strong loot.
#### Companions
From time to time, you will encounter recruitable companions that can help you in your quest. They may be expensive, but they are a great help in dealing with enemies. All companions are randomly generated, and so are their motives.
#### Rivalries
Companions react to your attitude towards them. If they get mad at you, they can become your rivals and appear later on to seek revenge as a mini-boss battle.
#### Traders
Visit traders to buy and sell items. Blacksmiths will even allow you to forge your own weapon from a list of components and manage the weapon stats.
#### Random Levels
To ensure that each playthrough feels different, levels are randomly generated. So there are new areas to explore each time you play, and loot is distributed at random. There are still some "static" levels in terms of layout due to workload, but later they will all be fully random.
