If you find the background distracting, turning off all the graphics will fix that issue.
Each run takes about an hour and a half. The difficulty I would rate 3/5, so if you are skilled at all with roguelikes it will probably take you only 2 to 3 attempts to beat the game.
Nice change of pace, good game!

Mad Mustache is a “template flip”, that is to say, it’s a “game” that has been produced by copying a game template from GameMaker Studio, changing a few things, then dumping the barely functional “product” on Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab. In this case it was a GameMaker Studio template for doing a simple 2D top down single screen twin stick shooter. HotFoodGames have ripped off a number of GameMaker Studio templates, and each one is lazy, low effort, and valueless shovelware garbage.
GameMaker Studio is a very poor quality game construction kit, and results in terrible games like this one.

Tunnel of Doom
A fun game with a unique premise.
I enjoy the combination of tower defense, resource management, and dungeon crawling. The setting is unique, and the story is spartan but functional.
A few points that I feel could be improved upon:
- Melee combat is very awkward. I assume this is intentional, to promote the use of defenses, but considering how frequently you’ll have to take a pickaxe to a goblin I wish it felt better to do so. I killed a couple of friendly miners by accident simply because of how difficult it is to engage. The pistol is also quite inaccurate; I again assume this is intentional, but considering how valuable bullets are, I wish they were stronger on the whole.

It isn’t bad, but very short. You can either beat it on normal, or play the hard(doomed story) which makes it almost impossible without seeing waves coming, no map and halving your health and other detriments, so it becomes about luck more than any planning.
The normal will take about 2 hours to beat and become quite easy once you get a few cannons. By the 3rd floor of normal I could afk on waves due to having 4 cannons set up, just had to attack for the mobs that were immune to being seen by the cannons.

Avencast: Rise of the Mage
Avencast: Rise of the Mage is a decent game overall, but most people wouldn’t bother with this game and would most likely try something more mainstream.
Avencast is a game about a young mage who gets enrolled into Avencast Academy, where the young mage will learn about magic and the fantasy world they live in.
! Later in the game, the academy gets attacked by daemons and you must help fight off the daemons.
The story itself is pretty bland along with most of the dialogue (the funniest thing about the dialogue is Dolcina complaining about her imp). There are quite a few sidequests that you can do in the game. Most of the rewards are near worthless because you usually find better things along the way, but it will most certainly help you because you also gain XP from completing them, along with defeating any enemies along the way.

I really dont get why this game has a low rating!!! The game is fantastic. There is litteraly nothing wrong with it!! There are no buggs, the storyline is smooth and great, always keeping you interested, the controls are perfect and on top of that they are also custamizable! (if u think that they are bad) You can even roll in the game!!!! Whats not great about that, hue xD
If people dont like to play a mage dont get this game, this game is all about mages; its a Hogwarts school like game but without wands. There are 3 types of magic, Blood magic, (spells that buff ur staff, so close combat) Soul Magic (spells and ranged combat) and Summoning (that works with both Blood or Soul, depending on what you wana go with)…….well u can pretty much guess that one. The story is interesting from the start of the game and the many hours I have played the game (at this date and time) you can tell that the game is properly thought through.

An absolute classic that isn’t even 10 years old in the roguelike catalogue. With more playable races and classes, plus combinations, that you know what to do with. Not only a permadeath roguelike but one that seems to breach the gap between arcade-style dungeon crawlers. By that I mean that 95% of every session consists of starting the game from scratch, but one could load a saved game not that it matters much as the point of the game isn’t about getting to the end but to find a combination of race and class that fits the player.

What more can I say about this phenomenal piece of art? Assuming you’ve read the description of the game in the Steam Store before you hopped on over to the review page, there’s so much that I feel and so little I can say. Let me just start by saying that it is one of my most played games on my Steam Library and I haven’t owned it for very long, relatively speaking (picked it up November 2017 during the annual Steam Winter Sale). It was a game that a friend of mine had recommended to me for quite some time but never mentioned what it was, what it was about, or any details on why it was so much fun. Truth be told, words cannot describe what keeps bringing me back to playing this game. It reminds me of a true classic (regardless of genre) game that doesn’t have a “outstanding” aspect among it, but is able to blend all of its elements into a fun and addicting masterpiece. Personally, I see this game as a classic in the sense that despite it’s young age, it is a game that keeps drawing me back. It is a game that, like Age of Empires 2 (just as a classic example), has something that is able to draw the player back to it. Maybe it’s the competitive “PVE” style that, after getting smashed by a boulder or starving to death, makes you think “I can do better”. It makes you want to go back after getting squashed and say “challenge accepted”. Maybe it’s the randomness that it throws at you. The level designs, trap placements, the monsters and the way they spawn in and react, the item drops, they all lead to a practically impossible scenario of ever playing the same game twice regardless of whether or not you picked the same class. The developers show a ripe passion for the game and listen quite well to any community feedback (which isn’t something that they absolutely have to do) and overall, are genuinely concerned about the game’s well-being. There are certain games that the developers you can tell have a lack of caring or “meh” kind of attitude. We’re seeing it now in the game industry like never before and words cannot express the respect and admiration for the developers for putting in all of that extra effort. This game took me to the point where I went and wrote my first ever steam guide about a game. I had never given it much thought before and this game sparked that interest. If nothing else, think of this game as a super-drug without any negative effects. Content comes out gradually, but in the best way possible. With everything that comes out having heart and soul put into by the creators. Overall, Barony has made my all-time favorites list (it’s not even in a genre I usually enjoy) and I highly suggest anyone just to give it a shot.

Dungless
All in all, a pretty good toy. Dungless is a 2D platformer with a procedurally generated world that will create a unique adventure for you every time that will never happen again. Fight monsters, collect gold, go deeper and deeper into the dungeons.

An excellent indie platformer in a classic 2D style and beautiful pixel graphics. Each level is randomly regenerated, even if you pass 1 level several times, each level will have a completely new map, which I have not seen in other games of this genre, and this distinguishes this game from the rest, that it will not be boring :) Nice relaxing music … Easy control, you can kill different monsters, and there are a lot of them here, from crawling to flying :)
It’s interesting to play, but it’s a pity there is no progress of some kind, and the levels all start over from the first, after death, but new, unique ones. I would also like to have added control from the gamepad and more achievements for a longer time in the game :)

Going Under
A neon drenched sugar coated cartoon comedy rogue like with a heart of rainbow.
According to the store page tags, this is an action roguelike dungeon crawler beat ‘em up. I’d say that’s a fairly accurate description. We play heroic intern Jackie Fiasco, and it is her job to descend into the subterranean levels deep beneath her new office to confront and defeat the nasties that dwell there. This involves travelling into “dungeons” beating up lots of crazy characters, and slowly unlocking new perks and skills which can then be utilised in subsequent runs.
– Real player with 52.3 hrs in game
Safe to say I really like this game if I’m looking at another dozen or so hours to get the final trophies.
Going Under is a 3rd person action rogue-like where you go through procedurally generated dungeons over and over, slowly getting more powerful to make it easier to bash and beat goblins and skeletons and demons oh my. Now, this is a well-trod path that a lot of popular games have done before so does Going Under do enough to stand out?
Most definitely.
You play Jackie Fiasco, an unpaid intern in a megacorp run Pacific Northwest, starting her first day at Fizzle; a new startup making a carbonated beverage to replace breakfast, lunch and dinner. Unfortunately, as you see a goblin steal some office supplies, your new boss sends you into the dungeons to defeat the employees of failed startups that hide underground. There’s more to it than that; it tells a simple plot and story but does an incredibly good job at satirically poking fun at techbro culture, modern office crap and capitalist conglomerates. It’s often not subtle but bluntly derisive in all the right funny ways. Jackie and her coworkers are actually pretty amusing and engaging characters and anyone who has worked a dead-end awful job is going to repeatedly feel pangs of sympathy for what they have to go through. The characters, the world, the dungeons are all really well done so that everything feels part of this well-designed whole that keeps you in the game. It’s just absolutely charming.
