After playing the mobile version (which is great by the way), this definitely feels easier but also more fun with some added movement options. It’s a fast paced shooter/platformer with some replay-ability and different characters each with their own playstyles and bosses. Overall, not too heavy on the bullet hell aspect.

The translations to English isn’t perfect, but still understandable and the UI was clearly designed with mobile in mind and could use some adaptation to PC/controller/mouse.

Coming from the free mobile release, I’m gonna say it right here: the PC version did not meet my expectation. I do recommend the game still if you can go past the issues, or at least play the mobile version.

The controls just hardly translate well from touch screen to controller (or keyboard). Also, since the game got no way to change your controller deadzone, it’s very easy to have the experience messed up by a very slight drift of your joystick, making your character jump in a direction even doe you want him to jump without moving.

Gimmick in the Chaos Dimension

Gimmick in the Chaos Dimension

Fun little maze climber. Each enemy has their own behavior type and learning what to do in each situation and which powerups to use to get as far as possible is satisfying!

Gimmick in the Chaos Dimension is a delightful romp back to the times of coin-op arcade games. Times where you put in a quarter, went until you died, then did it again. Except now there’s also skills that you can level up between games! Nothing could stop me from unlocking every achivement. I streamed it for hours. There’s even record keeping of your best runs! I can’t wait to see what they do next, and look forward to the next Gimmick game!

Deep Dark Dungeon

Deep Dark Dungeon

Fantastic tune but Very Bad controls, the character stops moving every time you press a weapon button shame the monsters dont. Could have been a great game otherwise.

I still recommend this game though the devs seem to be less active from what i hear.

To be honest the game is unplayable if you just use the keyboard, mouse would have helped but its as if the devs didnt even test this game out and just wrote it. If the most glaring of issues is noticed within 1min of playing and ignored,it says to me they dont care a hoot about this game.. check out their website that tells you everything you need to know about this train wreck

Bard’s Gold

Bard’s Gold

I am a big fan of rogue-like games, simply for the challenge posed by them. Bard’s Gold is no exception to that rule. When I first picked up my controller, I died nearly instantly. I felt silly, dying to a stupid bat, so I picked myself back up and went in again. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve died thus far, but I’m enjoying every obsenity-riddled moment of it. The slightly randomized feel to the levels helps you learn where secret treasures are, how to navigate through the obstacles, and ultimately, get your treasure so you can buy upgrades. I have found this much more enjoyable because there is a somewhat unpredictable nature to the levels themselves. The enemies are always the same, regardless of the layout, but each different scenario gives you a better idea of how to kill the monsters around you.

Note: I was given early access to the game.

Bard’s Gold is a slow-paced platformer with a high difficulty. It stars Bard (the player) attempting to get his family heirloom back from a nasty goblin who stole it. Bard must travel through four worlds, each containing seven levels in an attempt to obtain his treasure. The game is fairly hard and punishes you for making a mistake, but it’s not the kind of punishment that would make you overly upset. Patience and level memorisation is required in completing this game.

Garbage Crew!

Garbage Crew!

Garbage Crew! is a game about chaos! You work in a team with up to four of your friends and an angry garbage truck driver. Your job is to empty garbage cans and containers. Sadly your contract doesn’t state what kind of work you are required to do, so your manager loads you with all kinds of extra work including firefighting and forest work. Naturally you are completely understaffed and your short tempered driver has no intention of stopping the truck and wait for you just because you couldn’t empty all the garbage cans while extinguishing a raging wildfire. Luckily there are heaps of powerups that help you with all these tasks, so your stress level won’t reach dangerous heights.

Gameplay

Garbage Crew! is a roguelike action game so to progress to the next level you not only have to make a fight plan on how to coordinate your operation but also unlock and buy powerups that make your life much easier. To unlock the next level you need to complete all three incentives and finish the level in time. If you’ve made it in time and cleared at least one incentive you unlock a new powerup that will help you advance on your next run! While in game all kinds of unexpected events occur so make sure you come prepared to adapt to all circumstances! After all, you are doing like 10 jobs at the same time!

Return to your timeline

Powerups are nice and helpful, but with great power comes great responsibility. One promising contraption that the crazy professor living behind the dump came up with should have enabled you to slow down time. Sadly but expected things don’t work out according to plan and the powerup teleports you back in time! Despite there being a lot of garbage to take care of in the past too, you obviously want your old life back which leads you to a chaotic journey through time!

Multiplayer

Although you can play Garbage Crew! on your own, the game is most fun when you team up with your friends! Therefore, Garbage Crew! supports local multiplayer with up to four players. Don’t worry you can also play with your friends that don’t live near you thanks to Steam Remote Play Together which requires just one of you to own the game!

Garbage Crew! Will be released in 2022 as Early Access starting with three brand-new levels in completely new eras!

Void Vikings

Void Vikings

An interesting game… Recommended for a fans of twin-stick shooters looking for something a little different.

The core concept of paying back a student loan by pillaging local star systems is both unique and provides some tactical options. Should you pursue an expensive yet effective degree and struggle to pay back both the principal and interest, or settle for a cheap but shoddy education and focus on upgrades? Ultimately, you need both the education and the upgrades, but the premise disguises what would otherwise be a transparent grind.

Fun, polished little arcade wave space shooter with a couple of modes including a ‘diablo’ style randomised loot system, customisation, leader boards, and several distinct ships to fly.

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!
