Shadowlings
Shadowlings had a nice appeal for the first 15 minutes. It looked nice and felt nice. The way combat is done felt like something new. Sadly the initial appeal wears off very quickly and slowly declines into a boring grindfest. You get loads of money and XP with no real need for either of them. I kept waiting for game to become more interesting, but it never did. I even thought the final boss was just a prelude to the real boss. After an easy 1min fight you get a few lines of how you are now the leader of your clan, which btw you were the only survivor of…

Really good game, simplistic but lots of strategy involved. I’m lazy and that’s all I want to type for now, but overall it’s highway robbery at .99 cents. I kind of feel bad buying it that cheap. I think 5-7.50 USD would be a perfect price for this. I’ll come back later or tomorrow when I’m sober and expand on what I think could be improved on a bit. All simple fixes too. Anyways, highly recommended, great 2d top strategic swordfighter game.

Super House of Dead Ninjas
Few games epitomise the cultural style of 1980s American film and television as well as Super House of Dead Ninjas, the fast-paced, blood-soaked action platformer from Megadev. Based on the 2011 flash game House of Dead Ninjas , the game challenges players to enter a tower known as the Ziggurat of Infinium through the roof and descend down its hundreds of floors, battling the tower’s demonic occupants in a frenetic quest to discover what lurks on the ground floor.

A wonderful game to get, perfect for any fan of old SNES action games of frantic action and pace.
Rewards skill.
Challenging, but after time it becomes easy, luckily there is a harder mode for the true ending. Then an even harder mode to get out of DLC (on sale now). Finally a never ending mode to go for high score or just because you are having so much fun.
Small tasks to do in a game or through games that challenge you to do better (or just keep playing) to unlock items that can help you out. All optional for the most part.

Cross Soul
Full playthrough somehow got through the main story thankfully (once it uploads): https://youtu.be/0lurypHHc6U
Honestly I don’t think this game is bad as the reviews, but there’s some problems in the game that should have been addressed 1.you have no I-frames so when you’re in a monster house room they can just instantly end your whole career 2. when said career is ended you can have a glitch to where when you go back to the dungeon your character insta dies (restarting the game fixed that for me 3. enemies go through the walls which IS TOXIC AF 4. some enemies seem to crit? Or I just got booty pounded by enemies stacked on top of each other at the same time which is also lame 5. those little bunnies that constantly like to spam heal are a cancer upon society. Overall the game plays pretty well and the story was interesting from what I could understand obviously english isn’t the first language, so they did alright considering. The game doesn’t explain a lot of things that can make you think you’re stuck which is frustrating I literally watched the cutscene with future anubis like three times because every direction I went to took me to that cutscene before I figured out to use the fast travel to get to the next area. For free though it was fun-ish

Rise of Mavros
Really enjoyable and solid game to pass some time. You can directly go ahead and slash some enemies to freshen up your mind. Also, there is a great Early Access management. It is easy to see where the game is heading, thanks to the roadmap. Frequent updates, quick fixes and amazing new content added constantly. Thumbs Up!
– Real player with 9.7 hrs in game
This is a really well developed roguelite game, where you experience a third-person combat system, while you are trying to survive through the waves and build the necessary skills in order to complete all the levels. Of course, the game is in early access and it is not totally finished. I really enjoyed playing Rise of Mavros and it is getting better with each update. I had some issues with the targeting system, where sometimes the targeting system locked on to the weirdest location, but it is finally fixed and works as intended. I haven’t experienced anymore issues and now the game-play is really satisfying. I just think that we need more content (skills, maps, characters etc.) Thankfully, the Roadmap addresses all the necessary stuff and seems like we are moving on the right track as we are getting new skills and assets quite frequently.

Setting Sun
Setting Sun is an Co-op Rogue-lite Dungeon Crawler.
It’s set in a universe during the Japanese Edo period where Yokai roam the world freely.
The land is in turmoil because the Shogun rules with an iron fist.
A couple of wanderers answer the call to help mankind and fight the source of the corruption together.
THE SHOGUN’S DOMAIN
Traverse through a randomly generated room-based dungeon covering multiple zones on your way to the castle.
Several different types of rooms can be discovered on your way to the boss like enemy rooms, healing rooms, gamble rooms,…
THE SHINTO PANTHEON WATCHES OVER YOU
You have a chance to discover Dragon Shrines in the dungeon which will allow you to alter your abilities for that dungeon run.
So each time you start a new dungeon run you can try out a different build.
REBUILD THE VILLAGE
Aside from the dungeon the game also contains a village.
The village is like a sanctuary for the player where he can roam around before and after dungeon runs, talk to NPCs, buy upgrades, craft gear and more!
When you first start the game, the town is pretty abandoned.
But along your travels in the dungeon, you have a chance to find new characters to recruit to your town which unlocks new features.
For example finding Masamune on your travels will unlock the blacksmith in town and will allow you to craft new gear with better stats.
THE WANDERER
Multiple classes are planned but the first playable class in Setting Sun is the Ronin.
A Ronin was a Samurai without a master. An expert in the art of sword fighting but one who chose not to honor the code of the Warrior and thus considered “on his own” or a vagrant.
MAIN FEATURES
-
Slice your way through a procedurally generated dungeon
-
Master a skill-based fighting system
-
Learn the ways of the Ronin class (and several other classes planned)
-
Fight the Shogun’s army, thiefs, Yakuza and even Yokai
-
Try out different builds each run by discovering new blessings
-
Play the game solo or couch co-op
-
Recruit new allies and bring life back to the village
-
Unlock new buildings and features in town
-
Find new patterns to craft different gear sets or cook new Sushi dishes
-
Enjoy a unique trapanese soundtrack
-
Take a relaxing bath in the hot springs

A nice introduction to bullet hell games for a small child and a fairly fun casual game. Don’t purchase this AND Abiko the Miko 2 – they are seemingly identical games.

Shing!
Shing! is a mixed bag, and difficult to place a final rating on. It’s very much a borderline case.
Good: The story and characters, while simple, are done exceptionally well. There are just enough setting details to leave you craving more. Music and dialogue are also nice. The jokes are on point. You will come to care about these silly little characters. The game has tons of charm.
Bad: The game has difficulty issues. Easy feels like it should have been Medium. Some of the optional challenges are so unreasonably difficult that I’m not convinced they’re even possible on the high difficulties. There are also a couple of places where the game fails to provide sufficient guidance (the block puzzle, for example, offers no hints).

Don’t let this comeback be for nothing
You see that? I’m using formatting here. That’s how hard I’m trying. Just get the game. It’s on a huge sale now. You’ve bought worse games for more money.
Shing! is a singleplayer and local co-op sidescrolling beat em’ up with a co-op lean, that has polished and flashy visuals utilizing a stylized aesthetic. It’s a charm and character powerhouse that goes in pretty heavy on the developers' nerdy humourous style. The polish here hits a surprising level for such an indie offering, resulting in a total package that is low on rough edges and high on fun. That is, now. I say now because the tale of Shing! is a tale of two Shings.

Straimium Immortaly
If you like roguelikes that are done in a room-to-room format like Rogue Legacy or Pixel.Loot.Again, you should enjoy this.
If you liked Straima, you should enjoy this.
If you look at the video above and are amused or curious about the art style, you should enjoy this. The sound style is totally my thing too.
If you are looking for a hardcore roguelike, maybe give this one a pass. Unless more is added, the game isn’t too difficult to complete, and while there are unlockables, there aren’t all that many, and even fewer that significantly change the gameplay.

This was what I was looking for for so long… It turns out I’ve found my niche. Crazy s*** that makes no sense.
You would know if you would like this game just by looking at it. If the visuals seem… offputting, but the gameplay/tags tell you you want it, you should still get it.
In this game you will find:
-
A design choice that makes you swear you were high
-
Aliens that talk… well, not neccessarily “cute”, but in their own way. Whatever this item description means to you: “Worky Banga: Useable to magically changely item levely.”

Infinite Dronin
Let me start by saying this is not a game I usually play or would enjoy. It is just not my type of game. But.. that being said I put in about 28 hours just last week. At the moment of writing I am top 2 of the world for both maps. And I have played on twitch with support from the number one and getting sabotaged by the number 3 of the world.
No about the game. It is an infinite shooter, where you level up your support drone and fight enemies. Your main character starts at level 1 each run. A run lasts until you die. And as the title states the levels are infinite. Enemies keep getting stronger to a point that getting hit by a tiny monster on a very high level can take you out in one shot (though I haven’t gotten that far yet). So typically you will be doing longer and longer runs. After every run your drone gets xp and levels up, giving you more health and damage (allowing you to reach higher levels). It can be very grindy when playing alone. But it also has awesome Twitch integration, so other can send their (high level) drones to help you out and give you enormous health/attack boosts. Even people without the game can send drone to help and they will also level up. If that person later buys the game. They will start with their already leveled up drone. So sending a drone to assist a friend has two benefits: it makes the run easier for the player and you level up your drone without doing a single thing (other then sending it).

As written in the description Infinite Dronin is a roguelike hack-and-slash game. You fight your way through waves of enemies in consecutive arenas - always at your side your little steel buddy.
First of all the game does something right, it’s addicting: after every run you want to start a new one just to reach the next arena (and you were so close…). You get used to the enemy movements quite fast and with every level up of your drone you are able to get further. During a run there are plenty of different skills to choose from so every run is unique. As I don’t have a Twitch account I can’t really test and review the Twitch integration, but based on other reviews/gameplay videos it seems well implemented and a lot of fun.
