8089: The Next Action RPG
Been testing this since literal first alpha build so take this with a bit of “bias salt” if you want, but my honest opinion:
-
Game is great. Both in VR and non-VR modes. (I played primarily in non-VR). It’s riding on 5089 success and it does so very well imo. Phr00t’s charm is strong in this one.
-
Butter smooth controls, little bit of jank here and there, but otherwise game is great. runs smooth, framerate is stable and fairly well optimised (literally ran on GPD Win2).
-
Gameplay is pretty good. It’s fun to annihilate alien bugs with stealth kills or just shoot groups of enemies with whatever shotgun-sniper-mortar automatic weapon you make. Plenty of good combat abilities to make combat even more fun.

As of writing this review I’ve only been playing for 10 hours, but I seriously could see myself playing this for many more. Don’t let the graphics keep you from playing this game if it seems interesting to you, because once you get used to it, the potato looking bad guys reactions start to give it a certain charm. The real reason to play this game is the gameplay and the core game loop in this is pretty amazing. Primarily it is a game where you want to make your stats and gear’s numbers go higher, and to do that you have to continually venture further into difficult lands. As you progress the enemies grow stronger and you face different and interesting challenges that change up your gameplay. You can’t just rush to the higher level zones and scrape together better gear though, instead you have to activate each new area, which unlocks all the vendors and quests for that particular difficulty level. Supposedly this continues infinitely, and I have no reason to doubt it.

Ecstasy Elf Shotenken -Naruru’s Sexy Adventure-
Very short and not much adventure or RPG-elements, game takes place in a small town without much locations to explore and without character progression.
Art-style is cute and there are silly elements in the story, but it is over before it really begins.
If you get this in a sale then it can be worth it.
Remember to patch.

Good sexual content doesnt justify a lousy game, but a lot of DLSite devs think thats the case.
Really weak and short sadly, I did like the fighting system and the art, but I wish they would have expanded more on that and also made it more difficult later on tho, it was piss easy.
The game tells you that you shouldnt do anything lewd to get the happy ending, but it literally doesnt matter, in the last fight you can choose the ending you want, whether MC got defiled or not.
Some parts of the game arent translated, its a nice touch imo, but feels a little half-assed.

Leyline Knights
If you like Roguelikes like Hades, you’d enjoy this. A couple of patches can get it working well cause I did encounter a couple a couple of bugs (in fact I only stopped playing because of one). I didn’t quite understand what are the things you select before you start the “Dungeon Run” but its fun. Managed to fight (and not always defeat) a couple of bosses which from my experience in 1 hour of play were all different so that nice. Also I have no idea how you can get back with your gems, I wanted to buy some permanent buffs but when I died I always lost everthing (not sure if intentional but usually you get to keep a small percentage if you don’t make it till the end)

I’d recommend this game, it’s a nice action roguelike game with a nice replayability value through the possibilty of different builds.
Your goal is to climb the Great Tree to do so you’ll fight enemies through different areas and maps and fight your way against bosses.
You have access to numerous upgrades,items and combining various elements to help you through it and advance to the next level of an area.
You’ll encounter NPCs that will help you and tell you a bit more on the lore.
You can also tailor your playstyle with the purchase of upgrades and such.

WizardPunk
Had a good time, reminded me of Custom Robo quite a bit which I loved as a kid. I didn’t play with anybody, because it’s not online multi, which kinda sucks. But the single player had a lot to do. The guilds are a bit awkward to get through, but playing with a full build on day 6 was pretty sweet, lots of things to think about, pretty complex. Looking forward to future patches!

Fast, fun, satisfying fighting game that incorporates a nice blend of different character progression elements. It’s quick to learn but difficult to master and there’s plenty to experiment with. I’m partial to Ignissa but Vito is a close runner up. Looking forward to future updates!
