ShiroKuro’s Adventure
Full 100% play through here: https://youtu.be/yYWNYHEWwwo
This is a pretty short cute game there’s not much to it, but it’s pretty entertaining. I wish there was more to the level up system besides health and attack power like abilities and what not. The game gets pretty challenging when you get closer to the end and have to do your best not to step on the wrong tiles. I really feel like the dodge mechanic pausing after the dash is complete really took a lot away from the game that could have made it more fluid and fun if it allowed you to move immediately after the animation completed. The Final Boss at the least should have his own sound effects/music he looked pretty silly finger waggling to the happy go lucky music you’ve listened to the whole game. Overall though I think it was worth the $3.00 it definitely takes some getting used to and the mechanic of controlling them both is challenging/fun to learn.

Halluci-Sabbat of Koishi
This game is a horizontal scroll action game of sword war system, with fast pace and high difficulty.
In 《Halluci-Sabbat of Koishi》, you will play the Satori monster Komeiji Koishi in Touhou Project, a soldier who is ordered not to quit, returns until the enemy is broken, and an adventurer who runs around in order to hold a witches' Sabbat.
You help the human witch find the precious potion material, and make enemies with the illusory mushroom family and many undeads. As you go deep into the miasma overflowing magic forest, in order to fulfill the agreement, you will lose yourself and embark on a dangerous journey.
Explore the central hinterland of the deserted Gensokyo, feel the cruel law of the jungle, and confront the enemies who kill your sanity in the dark and distorted world. Use the “unconscious” ability to launch various assassination mysteries, show the skills of monsters, cut and shuttle up and down in the fierce bullet battle, and have a fierce confrontation with the enemy.
Battlefield is a place where corpses are piled up. Only with the belief of death can we live. If you want to live, you will die.

LandTraveller
See the full review here: https://saveorquit.com/2021/01/14/preview-landtraveller/
The simplest explanation is “It’s Minecraft in Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past’s perspective.” Also, there’s a story mode with a linear plot in the procedural sandbox world, and you play as catgirls. You’ll probably enjoy it around as much as that elevator pitch appeals to you.
It’s SNES-inspired sound and graphics aside, LandTraveller is an “and the kitchen sink” dabbler in many different genres, including some born after the 16-bit era, and not all of these ideas play well together. LandTraveller wants to have the base-building of Minecraft or Terraria, however, it doesn’t want to let you actually use those for fighting bosses like in Terraria, and in Story Mode in particular, bases are almost entirely just a storage bin and crafting bench. Why bother customizing something you only see for 5% of the game? LandTraveller wants to have difficult twitch combat focus like a roguelite such as Binding of Isaac, but it has old SNES controls instead of twin-stick shooting, making the game character too difficult to control for some of the high-precision combat it demands. RPG mechanics mean that level and gear can render enemies that were one-hit-killers toothless, further undermining twitch-based action focus. In fact, since movement speed is also based on RPG-style stats, and there is no “run” or inversely, “slow down” button, a slow character (bears) might find it impossible to evade attacks, while fast characters might find platforming or just plain fitting through the one-tile-wide doorways nearly impossible, as it’s extremely difficult to line up on a single block when your character is only a couple pixels narrower than a block.

This review is for Story mode using the beta version with the latest updates. You can opt into this version from game settings in Steam.
Seems like a great game so far. I’ve run into a few bugs but overall it’s been pretty enjoyable - moreso than I expected.
There are plenty of open world crafting sandbox games but this is one of the few that is also a complete RPG and didn’t just contain a few RPG elements. There’s an Explore mode that leaves the story out. It also has multiplayer, which I haven’t tried yet.

Surprised this game didn’t get more reviews.
This game plays somewhat like a Mystery Dungeon game, but at the same time an action RPG.
First of all, when you start the game you are greeted with an extensive options menu. You are able to optimize the game’s screen and sound by quite a bit, which feels really neat. Once you start in the game, it immediately brings you to it’s gameplay. The gameplay consists on moving around the field, when encountering enemies, you have the options of attacking head-front or performing counter attacks when they turn yellow, which happens when they attack you and miss.

When I heard vgperson translated it, I figured I’d give it a chance. (He translated a bunch of horror games like Ib, The Witch’s House, Mad Father…). And this is pretty good so far! Maybe a “One Way Heroics” meets “Card Captor Sakura” meets RPGmaker? No? Well, others will describe it better. I’ll just say check out the demo if it sounds curious to you. Maybe a proper review after I finish the game.
PS: the developers have been silently and quickly patching every issue I’ve encountered. They must be ninjas.

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.

Adventure Field™ 4
TL;DR: My view on this game might change after I beat it, however for now, I don’t recommend this game unless you are okay with highly repetitive and shallow gameplay.
The game feels… very shallow. It feels like one of those mobile games made with Unity by amature indie devs. As far as I have experienced, the game does not have many content.
Enemies are the same one over and over again, dungeons are just the same maze with doors that only differ in layouts, NPC dialogues are mostly the same, 90% of side quests just require you to bring them certain items, story and characters are bland (the game is clearly made in Japanese and the translation although much better than machine translation, so feels a bit awkward. I tried looking for a way to switch to Japanese language, but it seems like the game only offers English, which is strange).

This game has a lot of potential! Feels like an old school RPG with a puzzles, strategy, and exploring. There are grammatical and spelling errors which I would have no problem helping out with (for a small fee of course ;) ) Overall the game has a lot of depth, good music, and some minor mechanical issues. If you are looking for a break from the latest RPG maker rehash this is a great buy.
