Son of a Witch
Originally, I found this game on the the Nintendo store while browsing for local multiplayer games I could enjoy with my kids. I was drawn to it due to the above but also due to ts great art style and the randomness each game offered. Being an avid Diablo fan going on decades, this really appealed to me.
My three girls and I have a blast playing this and there are not a lot of buttons to remember so the basics are easy to pick up for younger children. I have beaten barbarian challenges with my 3 year old and shes even saved me! Although her favorite is the Alchemist so technically her “friend” saved me.

All around a great game.
TLDR: Magic has 10x more potential than melee and archery. the +1% magic per cast potion needs to be scrapped.
My only gripe with the game atm is that magic can be massively overpowered late game. I have finished all 7 acts (the last being the desert) multiple times now as a magic user, and probably wouldn’t have even needed to look at the screen to beat the final boss (which would be really hard as melee/archer).
The potion that gives +1% bonus magic everytime you cast a spell can be so easily abused. If you get it early on you can just hold onto a voodoo doll (or anything will a low magic cost) and spam it.

Beacon
Updated Added 3/24/2019
Keep in mind this is a game still in beta phase, so it’s not quite finished. I’ll likely update my review as Beacon continues development.
I absolutely love top-down shooters and Beacon is no exception, in fact, it makes me appreciate them more. I’ve stuck around playing since it was released on Itch. It’s changed quite a lot, such as additions of enemies and bosses, loot areas, and of course all the bug-squashing, both technical and literal. It’s a little terrifying that there’ll be even more enemies and bosses later, which means plenty more ways to die, but hey, mutations are a thing.
– Real player with 68.5 hrs in game
Beacon has a nice low-poly artsyle, a pretty good soundtrack, and interesting writing and ideas. It has some weird design choices regarding weapons and enemies, but is over-all rewarding, if not occasionally frustrating due to a few enemies.
The gameplay is pretty typical: you can use 2 guns, have 1 equipment, 1 consumable/held passive, a grenade type, and as many passive non-held items as you want. You can smack things and dodge-roll, too.
The big game idea is that, when you die, you use DNA pickups you collect from enemies and can “mutate” next run… Or you can do what I did and beat it without mutating, which is pretty doable. Mutations change how the character looks/acts/stats and how the character reacts to items and story elements.

Code name: Star Prison is a high-degree-of-freedom hack, slash, shooting and magical dungeon game. The player is almost never locked in a fixed room in the game, which brings a high degree of freedom of combat and breakthrough experience.
The main features of the game:

Once as a science fiction writer, the wonderful plot is also the highlight of the game, and the final ending will take many weeks to truly be revealed.
In the Star Prison, players will also prepare a large number of well-designed level gameplay and props, characteristic NPCs, various elite monsters, and bosses, making the game experience worthwhile.
Message from the production team:
The code name Xinglao is an independent game carefully developed by Neon Cell Studio. The working group promises to continue to update and bring more high-quality content to players.

At first I was going to return the game as I didn’t enjoy it but once you learn how to calculate depth in game and get used to the speed and movements of your character and the enemies the game is very good.
It has a lot of different upgrades that you can buy between rounds. Your character may start being slow but it will get as fast shooting, moving or killing as you want (if you get enough vaccine in the level).
Each time you beat the game you unlock new upgrades that will be available the next time you play. There are 3 different characters, each one with different stats for a different approach to the game (slow and powerful, fast but not much power or balanced),

A Casual Rogue-like Action Adeventure
-
Visually the game looks great, I really enjoyed the graphic style
-
The gameplay is a bit slow-paced but fun and works well.
-
The upgrade system is great, at the end of each stage you get to invest your earnings into an upgrade of your choice which can dramatically improve your chances of getting further in the game. (you want to balance between damage, movement, and health/defense)
-
Very Binding of Isaac “feeling” although a bit easier and requires a lot less knowledge of the game (as in you don’t need to look up wiki guides to get through this game)

Tallowmere
Ok, I played about 5 or 6 lives as soon as it installed then had a break to compose myself… after 30 mins or so I was like “I need to get past level 5” so I jumped back in for another frantic axe whacking rampage. Then my goal was to conquer the double digits which is when I started realising that approaching enemies with a little more tact goes a long way.
Positive thoughts so far (from a laymans perspective):
Replay value! The randomly generated levels and loot provide a different challenge each time
– Real player with 64.5 hrs in game
I’m always chasing roguelike dungeon games, even though most of them end up pretty bad. The reason I do this is because every so often, I find a game like Tallowmere!
I absolutely love this game. It’s equal parts fun and frustrating. You really learn and develop your tactics the more you play. You have to figure out the best way to use your weapons, and what weapon is the right weapon to use in any given situation, and even once you’ve learned that, you have to be careful not to get too cocky or careless, because mistakes can kill!
