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!

Rogue Harvest
Something happened. You wake up in a forest. Now you have to survive! Run, the ents are coming!
This is a great game and try to be cautious, surviving the first night won’t be the best. I started to think the best way is just running for your life. This is a complicated survival game or complicated and funny survival game where you have to create the best shelter to avoid the enemies at night. Yeah, they are not so great at day but the skeletons.. and other things, you know. They going to destroy your shelter. Now you know!

TL:DR: Cheap but fun roguelike survival game, some way to go before it’s finished, but well worth the price with the current content! 7.5/10
Review
Rogue Harvest is a roguelike survival game, with permadeath and gameplay similar to that of hardcore Minecraft or Terraria. In Rogue Harvest you play as the survivor of a plane crash fighting to make sense of and survive in the hostile world in which he’s found himself. The gameplay is fun and currently semi-deep, there’s several tiers of content for each item (from 2-4 depending on the item) and you are free to create some awesome looking houses to defend yourself with.

Spirit of ARX
To the ill-fated souls imprisoned within, ARX is a labyrinthine fortress of anguish and misery. But a single spark of hope within one brave spirit might just be enough to put an end to ARX’s reign of malice.
Break the chain of torment
Many a spirit restlessly roam the halls of ARX. Awaken the soul of a foolish adventurer, of a humble servant or an untimely guest to try and earn back your freedom. To do so, you must venture downward, into the belly of the beast, in order to defeat the ultimate evil lurking in the catacombs below.
At the start of every playthrough, choose from a random selection of spirits, each carrying their own unique abilities and boons.
Into the fray
Angry spirits, enraged ghouls, bedeviled rats and many more guard your vengeful path to salvation as each hand-crafted, procedurally generated level becomes progressively harder the further you go. Look out for beguiling traps, secret treasures and snarky ghosts!
Relics and Weapons, and Spirits — oh my!
But do not fret - ancient relics, as old as the bones beneath your feet, will help you on your journey and might just give you the edge you need to succeed.
And should you happen upon a kindred spirit, try and help — you might be surprised by the result.
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.

Castle of no Escape 2
Key provided by SaveorQuit.com. This review has been abbreviated to fit the steam character limit. You can read the full original version of the review here: https://wp.me/p8lFHx-8Lw
Castle of no Escape 2 is not afraid to make fun of its own retro aesthetic. It pulls off its stylistic approach to the point where even its unintended bugs look like a throwback to the classics it pays homage to. Not only that, but it does this all while still managing to put a fresh spin on old ideas in order to become something unique in its own right.
– Real player with 16.1 hrs in game
This game is a short, polished retro roguelike gem that borrows effectively from style and design elements of Nintendo-era (and older) games but also adds its own distinctiveness and charm. The ability to ignore a lot of the combat if you want, the openness of the levels, and the entire game occurring on one screen (with no menus and very little text once you are playing) are probably the rarest qualities of this game when compared to others of this genre. I was also impressed by the number of monster types that had unique game mechanics associated with them. The combat atmosphere was reminiscent of an old TSR game or the ancient battlechess game Archon. I can’t remember the last time I encountered a sprite-based centaur.
