Action, Adventure, Exploration!

With planets to explore and creatures galore, Planet Morph is an experience for everyone. Level up, unlock abilities, solve puzzles, and fight until your last breath. And, with difficulty modes, casual and hardcore gamers can change the gameplay just to their liking.

Aeternum Quest™

Aeternum Quest™

I enjoyed my time. It’s a simple, charming turn based RPG that has an emphasis on relying on your captured monsters to summon in combat to mitigate your MP limitations and give you more options!

I’m not sure what to add really. It’s easy to be extremely critical with it though. Some of its secrets have such a high level of effort involved that they feel like they are paced as being far too late game to properly attract attention. Maybe I spent too much time grinding, but by the time I was close to finishing the card collection, I was already overlevelled. Several of the other side-quests have this kind of issue.

Final Stardust

Final Stardust

Choose Your Element

Final Stardust is an anime like JRPG that aims to bring a new perspective to turn-based battle systems by introducing many new features such as Saiments, Synergies, Turn Effects, Dynamic Music, Voice Acting and more!

Synergy

This is how you deal the “big damage”. Every synergy has a cost and you need to consume stacks to be able to cast it. You get a stack by using a spell and its element will be the same as the used spell, meaning that if you use a “Mars” spell, you get a “Mars” stack. After multiple turns you will get enough stacks to cast a powerful spell, a.k.a synergies!!!

Saiment

You can’t use items in battle, only saiments. Saiments are similar to items but they have their own system. At the end of every turn you draw a saiment(randomly from your deck). Every saiment has an “effect” that you can use instead of casting a spell/synergy. Every saiment you use is consumed and you can’t use it again(unless you start a new battle)!!!

Sealing

Sealing new monsters(a.k.a Planos) isn’t about luck but about strategy. You need to use “Sealing” saiments and survive long enough to be able to fill up the “Sealing” bar to 100% and acquire the new Plano!!!

Anime Moment: Ultimate Draw

Final Stardust is filled with anime moments and this is one of them. This mechanic allows you to get any particular saiment you want from your deck(can only be used once per battle). If you are a fan of anime, you are in for a treat!!!

Kindred Fates: Combat Arena Alpha

Kindred Fates: Combat Arena Alpha

I am hyped for the future of this game.

If you wanna buy it and you are scared of the price, dont forget the price includes alpha, beta and full game access.

Buy it If you believe in the devs (they are the best devs you can dream of) and you want to support them.

This is only PvP but the full game will be an Open World Monster Battling RPG. Keep in mind that this game in its current state has bugs and isnt perfectly optimized (alpha). I just cant wait for the beta and hope many more people gonna buy it so the PvP community to test Alpha and Beta becomes bigger.

Real player with 207.3 hrs in game

Edit: With the alpha being out for almost a year now I got to say the game is still fun and the devs are great!

Gameplay

We will start off with the general gameplay and how it feels.

The gameplay is a fast paced real-time action packed gameplay, A style very unique to a monster taming game. But Skymill does not stop there, they also have what has to be my favorite part of the game, Types as a play style. What this means is that instead of your normal “Fire deal x2 damage to grass” that we see so often Kindred fates instead makes it so that its your player style that counters the type not your damage. This leaves much more room for player skill than other games. Here is an example of what I mean when I saw types as a play style.

Athenian Rhapsody

Athenian Rhapsody

Athenian Rhapsody is a new comedic RPG game in which you’ll explore the world of Athens! It is a turn based RPG with intense and fast paced real-time-dodging. You’ll be faced with many challenges, and you’ll have to fight your way through the world by either fighting, or awkwardly trying to make friends with the enemies through pick-up-lines, mean jokes, memory games, and other strange and funny interactions. You’ll also be faced with many vigorous mental challenges, with mind bendingly difficult puzzles such as “Push Button” and “Spell Richard”. There is a vast amount of activities in Athens that do not fall under the RPG category as well, and will catch you off guard.

There are a large amount of enemies you’ll have the chance to battle, all befriendable and all with large amounts of unique dialogue. Some of the creatures you’ll develop a strong bond with will join your party, and you can switch to them in battle! They also have different abilities in battle, so you may want to swap party members depending on the situation. Well, assuming you’ve made friends with them instead of murdering them for their EXP… There are 16 possible followers for you to discover, as well as numerous alternate endings and story extensions based on your decisions ingame.

There is something for everyone to enjoy with lots of unique and engaging battle mechanics, a large amount of characters with their own stories and interactions with the world, and some intensely tough challenges down the line as well.

Soul of Giga

I love this kind of games, short to the point and with a lot of hope for future titles. Everything can become bigger and better! Hope you like battles with mini armies cause that’s what this game is like.

Real player with 10.9 hrs in game

This is a very well designed battle monster game with beautiful artwork and a simple but effective gameplay. Extra points for being fully playable with just the mouse.

Also, about the bad review someone left saying there’s no autobattle, said feature unlocks after finishing some quests, after an hour of playing or so. However is not autobattle like an autochess, where you deploy your gigas and they autofight, is the classic “after you three-star an area you can skip the battle and get the rewards” feature.

Dark Forest: Lost Story VR

Dark Forest: Lost Story VR

Experienced on the Oculus Quest 2

You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/r9lO-ZJu9Og

This is a horror game for VR that currently only has 1 of 2 story chapters available. The story of Baba Yaga can be split up into three different parts, plus the intro. Whole thing took me approximately 1 hour, but I took the scenic route (which leads to many deaths unfortunately). I think you can easily finish this game in 30 minutes otherwise.

The intro is just really walking from point A to point B while some scary stuff happens. The first part is simply figuring out how to get through the level (finding the key and where to use it) and you may come across the Baba Yaga and she will kill you if you don’t escape. The second part is mostly chasing sequences where you have to find enough obects hidden within the areas. The last part is a horror stealth section where you have to figure out the patrols of enemies who hear very well, but can’t see.

Mighty Vikings

Mighty Vikings

Mighty Vikings is a game where you are the captain of all Vikings. Here you have to travel and rid the world of evil. You also have to find a ship to travel and a good arsenal to repulse the creatures. I liked the atmosphere, graphics and the variety of enemies. In general, I recommend to all Viking lovers.

Real player with 1.7 hrs in game

Charming little game (hold onto your suspension of disbelief with guns in the Viking Age lol) that plays well enough in the basic mechanic sense, has an endearing little graphic style and intriguing world to explore, but I hope the dev is coming back to it; there’s an overall coherency loss in the game’s presentation and flow. The Main Menu opens with “Continue” (haven’t played at this point) or “Play Story”. The first option just drops you unceremoniously into 3 or 4 “Kill All The Things” maps that I wish you could wander around a little more (invisible walls are the bane of gamers everywhere) and the story mode crashes alot or otherwise stops working, which is unfortunate because it IS charming and has some interesting if basic “what do you do?” options on the quest. It’s cheap though, so it’s not like you’re taking a huge hit for a little charm and the hope for some more to come to it.
