Overhaul
Overhaul is a puzzle rogue-like dungeon crawler that combines fast-paced action, quick logical thinking and rich systemic gameplay.
As Ikalee, venture deep into the abandoned Power Plant to bring the power back to your village. A place that has now been taken over by hostile and mysterious life forms.
#### Game Rules
Each room of the Power Plant is built around a grid puzzle similar to Sudoku. The puzzle is solved when the grid is filled with numbers and the same number can only be placed once on the same row and column. But unlike Sudoku, some cells indicate superiority over another cell, which acts as a clue to help solve the grid faster.
Solving the puzzle is your objective, it will grant you power ups, resources and unlockables. But the Power Plant’s new hosts will challenge your ability to think fast. You’ll have to get rid of hostile entities, dodge incoming attacks and use your items' abilities to get to the Core!
#### Game Features
-
Logic-based Sudoku-like puzzles mixed with fast-paced top down action for a unique experience.
-
Pick up enemies, carry objects and outsmart the most vicious of situations!
-
A hand-crafted rogue-like experience. Hundreds of rooms, each tailor-made to bring new challenges!
-
A rich cast of mysterious entities. Experiment and learn how they can interact with one another and take advantage of it! Some will try to take you down, others hide powerful secrets.
-
Carve your own path through the Power Plant. Each room is different, pick a difficult one for better rewards or an easier one if you want a smoother ride.
-
Each completed room will generate power. Use it to unlock new content and grow permanently stronger or save it to open up alternate paths and supports.
-
Track down secrets and breath life back into the Hub. The more you engage with the game, the more beautiful the Hub becomes! (You may even get some company who knows)
-
A carefully composed score that matches with your progression. From moody melancholic ambiance to blood-pumping melodies!

Space Gladiators
It’s a very good roguelike, and if you like side scrolling shooty roguelikes, you’re probably gonna like this. The visuals are gross and cool, and everything flows well. Controls are tight, it feels good to move around and they are responsive, and you’ll need to get good at them because this game is hard. Characters can vary wildly and you’ll have to make important stat choices because in this game it varies wildly, you can have negative stats. You can figure out what kind of builds the rng gives you and make a plan.

I don’t ever write reviews. In fact, this might be my first review ever on here. I’m only about 4.5 hours in since I picked it up yesterday, but WOW! Out of all the roguelites I’ve bought and played, this is hands down my favorite one since Dead Cells. There’s just something about it. It is so fun to play. The fluidity of the character movement in combat just feels so damn good. Unlike a lot of others I’ve played where it seems to be all about luck with upgrades on a run rather than skill, this meets a great balance of challenging without being too punishing or rage inducing. Simply playing and getting better is enough to help you get further. Thank you, Thomas, for such a fun game! Looking forward to many more hours of this and future updates and added content hopefully in the future.

Grimm: Dark Legacy
A lovely beautiful fun game to play and i like it but sadly the game sometimes hangs during play as no doubt it needs an updated patch.
What happens is you could be on a leisure hunt and everything works ok till some point when you collect or killed some creatures then when you try to kill a creature by hitting it then you find you go thru the actions of striking the creature but it has no effect as if your weapon does not make contact with the creature.
Also the same when you try to collect items you go thru the motions of collecting items but don’t collect anything even when you got plenty of space in your bag to store items.

Played Iron Man only. Got to Iceland on my 3rd try. Got 1 shotted.
The game’s good but it gets old fast. I’m not doing another try - quests are too repetitive!
Worth the price tag though, if only for the art.
That being said the game could be renamed: ‘‘Eating & hunting simulator 2016’’.
-Pros-
-Smooth controls
-Amazing art
-Music/soundtrack is fitting
-Cons-
-Only 4 quest types (find a guy, protect villager(s), gather food, kill x mobs)
-You eat non stop. For some reason your guy needs to eat far too much. Food also heals you after your full so you’re always in need of more, it never ends. Even if you end up full you’ll just get hit by something and have to eat half of your rations to heal up, which in turn means more hunting needed.

Sundered®: Eldritch Edition
After a few day’s worth of playtime on this game, I feel like I’d like to toss in my two cents on it. By two cents, I should clarify that I mean many paragraphs. this review will not be short, and I apologise. Sundered, on the whole, is a good game. There are several elements that merit critique in my eyes, though they didn’t detract from the game so much as to merit a negative review. With that out of the way, let’s dive in to some thoughts and ramblings.
Firstly, I should say also that this game has quickly become one of my all time favorites. The atmosphere, the artwork, the enemy design and storytelling all are favorites of mine, and I think they’re exceedingly clever and engaging. However, even when you take away my biased opinions, the game stands up to scrutiny, with well designed gameplay and mechanics (as well as story and the other previously mentioned aspects).

Well, you can tell by my hours of gameplay that I really enjoyed this game and got the most out of it, even the bad out of it.
The harshness of the reviews left me really unsure, in the first few minutes, no matter how much I was enjoying, the game design made me fear for what people have said, so let me clarify a few things.
TL:DR
Great game, very challenging, beautiful animation, exploration is rewarded, so is proper strategy (Change your routes and upgrade luck early, please). The randomness is not unfair, it is not unfair, your skills matter. Bosses are great, minibosses often suck. The major flaw is making the “good” path so poor, but the rest is brillant. If you want to have 1 run and the best experience, I’d say “Put the hardest difficulty and fully embrace”

Camelot was destroyed, by the Giants. You, an unknown knight, just revived by Merlin, The Wizard. Merlin gives you an important task: Restore the Kingdom of Camelot and defeat the Giants. The only weapon you have, a broken Excalibur.
Knight vs Giant is an Action RPG with rogue-lite elements that combine Kingdom Restoration with Procedural Dungeon.

#### POWER SYNERGY
Choose the right blessing for your sword, some of them will have a synergy activated, and give you extra power for your adventure
#### ENEMY LEVELING
Your enemy also leveling up to match your skill. So, say no more to boring hack and slash games.
#### REALLY BIG BOSSES
Have you been bored fighting normal size enemies? Don’t fret, the big bosses here is so massive that they can break you with only a few punch.
Knight vs Giant is developed by Gambir Studio. We plan to release it in 2022 for PC and Mac, and hopefully on another platform as well.

See you soon, Knights!!!!
CYBERUSH
I’m not quite sure what to say about ‘CYBERUSH’, it’s a manga style shooter that is very light on just about everything. You get to pick a choice of 3 weapons which are sword, gun and shotgun and you kill enemies with them then goto the lift up to the next level which seems to be a constant rotation of about 5 office style layouts. From its annoying music to the basic graphics this game is as low quality as they come, but the biggest issue is that it doesn’t really have playability to back it up. Even the money I collected in the game seemed to be for nothing. This is certainly not something I would recommend for £7.19, but if some issues get fixed it might be worth a quid or two. https://youtu.be/httvkuexin4

Lucky Tower Ultimate
You can play a very early prototype of the game right now. The prototype will allow a glimpse into the first segment of the game. The final version will be vastly improved and expanded in the coming years, so we are eager for feedback! A link to the Discord can be found in the Steam forums.
Lucky Tower Ultimate is a humor driven, narrative roguelike. The narcissistic, clumsy knight Von Wanst attempts to escape a mysterious tower in an absurd adventure. On each of the tower’s floors you’ll need to decide between three doors that reveal deadly traps, monsters, or even other prisoners that might join his escape party.
Everything and everyone reacts to the way you treat them and thus shapes your adventure for better or worse. Selfishly slash your way down and use your companions to your advantage or safely reach the ground together as a team.
Fueled by sassy slapstick humor and hand drawn graphics, the game has each run feel like an immersive cartoon.

There’s tons of characters in the adventure alphabet!
