Gunnhildr
Awesome game, plays sorta like a scifi Binding of Isaac, really cool, high difficulty curve at the start.
Unique about this game - Weapons have infinite ammo, but can overheat, in order to reduce heat you need to jump and dash, sort of a “Move or Die” type mechanic which keeps things fast paced. Really awesome Idea, and something that makes it stand out amongst other games of the genre.

Although marketed as a story driven game, what first excited me about Gunnhildr was when I read it was a first-person shooter rogue-lite, something I’d never seen executed well but certainly something I’d love to see executed well. Unfortunately, Gunnhildr doesn’t quite deliver… yet.
Story
Where Gunnhildr does deliver is the story, which is no surprise when the game is marketed as a “narrative shooter”. The story is arguable the most polished part of the game, there is a lot of interesting lore to unravel about Norse gods and the world of Gunnhildr. However, it’s how the game tells the story that is an issue. It is a complete overload of information. The number one rule of story telling is “show don’t tell”, Gunnhildr shows nothing and tells a lot.

One Shell Straight to Hell
(Review was updated on Dec 2021) I’ve spent many hours alpha-testing this game and decided to buy it on release day. Here are my thoughts so far, a list of positive and negative elements:
The good stuff:
-
Uniquely witty main character.
-
Good variety of unlockable skills and lootable guns, be it primaries or secondaries.
-
The setting: a terribly haunted mansion property set in the 1910’s - 1920’s.
-
The Padre’s voice actor probably smoked 10 cigars and drank too much whiskey. Fantastic.

One Shell Straight to Hell
There’s a brand-new Roguelike indie title on the streets; One Shell Straight to Hell. One Shell Straight to Hell lets the player experience the best of two worlds with its well-put-together Roguelike dungeon-crawling gameplay with a touch of base defense elements mixed in.
At first glance, the game seems to be simple enough with its Procedural Generation World. But as you cross the first stage after finishing a base defense wave, the game becomes something much more.

ok, hear me out.
this game is an amazing concept, and it's fun, but it's not out yet :(
but, seriously, cinnamancer studios (not like your going to read this) please buff the shotgun! in it's current state it might as well be a melee weapon, that doesn't register half the time, but a melee weapon would be great when you're out of ammo (wink wink nudge nudge). and also maybe add light to guns when they shoot? not a necessity, just a suggestion. and maybe add recoil to guns, that knocks your character back? maybe you can even hover/glide with the recoil? again, all of these are just suggestions, but please, if you do anything BUFF. THE. SHOTGUN,

## TERRACOTTA
[](https://steamcommunity.com/linkfilter/?url=https://discord.gg/VK6mzkS)
Terracotta features a huge number of unique puzzles that will test your creativity. The mysterious ability to channel your YIN allows you to switch realms, paint with light and form walls, activate ancient mechanisms and influence your surroundings freely in a variety of interesting ways.
You will encounter 9 unique bosses, each representing different traditional values, elements of nature and universal laws connected to the phases of the Qi. Each fight will symbolize a different theme and will require you to craft a distinctive strategy using your set of skills in a creative manner.
You have a distinctive ability to switch between the realms of YIN and YANG:
* YIN represents the ruins of the mausoleum as you’ve found it - where the warriors are just dusty terracotta figures and the walls are dead and empty. It embodies darkness, solitude, tranquility and isolation. It's the domain of logical thinking, in which you can take your time to devise your strategy as well as prepare and shift your surroundings – channel your energy to create walls, activate mechanisms or summon the power of the elements.
* YANG, on the other hand, represents the afterlife of the Emperor Qin. In this dimension the spirits are fully awakened and ready to protect the tomb with all their might. It’s the realm of light, rush, disorder and life. In this reality you’ll have to focus on your physical skill while executing the strategy you have prepared. You will have to be as swift as the wind, running, dashing and leaping forward to avoid enemy attacks or collect the sources for YIN.
The game works as a pendulum and finds equilibrium through the endless loop of change between both dimensions.
You are an unarmed soldier, awakened by the energy of Tao deep within the ruins of the mausoleum, surrounded by thousands of warriors that consider you a threat. However, your goal is not to defeat any of them; your purpose is simply to restore the equilibrium of energies once broken in the underworld and lift the curse enslaving these valiant souls.
The game is deeply inspired by the aesthetics of traditional Chinese paintings and takes a deep dive into the history of the Qin dynasty, depicting both the great deeds and the obsessions of the Emperor. Immerse yourself in this captivating portrayal of one of the most fascinating pages of Chinese history from the erection of the Great Wall, incredible military victories, to the unification of the language and the burning of books, all set within splendid gardens full of art and accompanied by a gorgeous soundtrack inspired by traditional Chinese instruments.
In the real world, the Terracotta Army wonder of Xi'an is truly astonishing not only because of its magnitude, but because no two warriors are the same. The game captures the same essence, presenting you with 8,000 unique enemies designed separately and hand-drawn in pixel art.
