100-Level Dungeon
I can’t remember what floor I’m on(it is either in late 70’s or early 80’s of floor level due to the battle room being completely pink color), and after I win the Crimson Paladin battle, the rock doesn’t disappear from the exit of that room, causing you to be stuck in the room with no way out. I can’t find a way to get in touch with the developer of the game to inform him of this, and hope he will see this review of mine about his game and will respond back very soon. No other floor did I encounter this incident on. I was going to recommend this game after I beat the game, but I won’t be able to beat the game until there is an update that causes this issue to get resolved. Until such time, I will have to skip playing the game since there’s no way around the rock/boulder blocking the exit that I can see.

Alone: Recode
After my first play-through ending in just under 17 hours with 18 hours total for the game one word to describe it. WOW!
Story:
The story seemed very sudden at first but it was expected since you are collecting yourself finding your friends steadily. Learning their style and what they should be used for as you get some time to learn each character. The diversity in the characters is your standard, healer, mage, tank, dps, and general purpose-ish. I expected more colorful dialogue from such colorful characters. After boss fights a few times I would go to the hub and see for any dialogue but was met with the exact same script each time. Some more development to care for them would be nice. A certain character that essentially swaps sides the tiny bit of dialogue we get with them was just enough for me to like the but it was too late. However the characters feelings for that double agent matched mine and i give them credit for that.

I love the FF vibes but this game definitely has its own identity. Love the Feel for each character, story and combat wise. Battles do require you to think and some cannot be rushed, especially the Boss Fights which is a plus. Overall this game does feed you Nostalgia craving with Fresh ideas!! Not a bad game and definitely Recommened

Arcante
Somehow reminds me of Might and Magic 6 (although others might say it more resembles M&M 9 ?)
Anyway, there were multiple games of this genre (first person, fantasy world exploring, party based RPG)
Probably a rare genre nowadays.
We all know turn-based party-wise crawlers, or top-down RPGs.
Arcante feels like a variation, that wants to keep the action (free movement) of the M&M 6, but at the same time modernize the clunky spell casting (which required the player to pause the game, even with memorized / active spell, to get the upper hand).

This game has the the old Might and Magic vibe. Could use a bit more content, more quests, characters, and story but I am enjoying some nostalgia. If you are looking for an old fashion romp through fantasy ville give it a try.
Finished it up. Took ab out 9 hours. Didn’t find a use for the bird head statue or the second city riddle, but the ending was…interesting. Still mostly enjoyed it despite some quirks. Very old fashioned might and magic approach to the genre, but it was a fun romp down memory lane. To the creator, good luck and I hope you are successful enough to try again.

Dead Age 2: The Zombie Survival RPG
I have edited my review and changed it.
I was finally able to complete one full play-through and reach one ending to the story.
I might play again to get a different ending.
There are pros and cons to the game and my original review was quite negative and at that time I did not recommend the game. After having finally been able to complete the game, my opinion has changed.
PROS
-Art work is really spot on for the game and goes well with the style
-music is quite enjoyable and appropriate for the areas and scenes
– Real player with 159.7 hrs in game
After 100 hours of playing Dead Age 1 and Dead Age 2, I would personally recommend picking up and trying out the game if you check these three boxes (Which lucky for me, I do):
1.) You are a fan of turn based RPG’s
2.) You like Zombie games
3.) You enjoy those old text-based adventure style flash games
Other than that I wouldn’t recommend you get the game because you’ll probably get tired of the combat pretty fast, the story is mediocre at best, and the survival/rpg elements are done decently but not enough to keep you playing just from those alone.

far light
A game inspired by the jrpg of the nineties of turn battles, however it has something new like choices and freedom but like everything of the nineties do not think that you will find things easy.
interact and explore the game this is the biggest premise in this game of ten finals because even the main missions are not shown only commented by the npcs and the choices be careful what you choose after all.
you can end up as a slave or as the queen of your country this game is all interactable from buying a store to having an extra income to counting the truth to an old friend of your father will all give some kind of consequence whether it is good or bad I hope you like this experience different from other modern games

Angel Made
There isn’t much I can add compared to the other reviews, just a short (selective) list of pros and cons:
(+) Decent playtime (at least 20+ hours)
(+) A lot of different skills for party members to use; skills can also be leveled up by using them (though this time around, it’s nearly impossible to reach maximum level with even one skill). Cooldown time for skills makes the battles more strategic, although it only comes down to “rotate your best skills” instead of “sp*m your best skill all over again”. Nonetheless, the process and enjoyment of getting stronger is one aspect that this developer regularly nails.

I am far from being finished with this fantastic rpg and am hoping that I am not even halfway through yet (played 24 hours so far). Following in the steps of Shane’s previous great rpgs, Angel Made hits the mark once again with a great story, smooth and challenging battles, and characters that you can enjoy in your party. The fishing, mining, etc. aspects are still fun to do and need to do for quests and crafting. One of my personal favorite features is no fighting while on land or ship. You are free to explore the world and find where you need to go without the constant fighting travelling to your next destination. And in the dungeons/towers/forests etc. there are many varied enemies so you do not get bored like other rpgs with the same creatures over and over again. Battles are well designed and using the various features of each character strategically you can win the battle with full hp and even extra hps and other goodies for the next battle , thus saving from using healing/mana potions. Magic gets stronger while using it and finding books and equipment you can add various magic to any character. Nice touch. So once again I am fully immersed and thrilled with Angel Made. Thanks again Shane!
