Undercat

Undercat

The once thriving city full of animals has been taken over by cats. They’ve enslaved all the animals and put collars on them. Those that have refused to obey have been kicked out of the city and crammed into slums. You are playing an oppressed dog named “Chips”. He grew up in the slums and recently joined a rebellion group in order to take back the city and end the cats’ tyranny once and for all.

In order to defeat the cats, you will have to save other animals who are captive to their rule. Create diversions, look for different items that can help you in your rebellion, and brawl with cats along the way.

Utilize different mechanics in order to proceed though the game. As a dog, you have an amazing sense of smell; use it to find items and secret locations.

Pick up boxes, cats and other animals, shake them well and throw them away! No obstacle or cat should stand on your way!

If crushing everything on your way is not a solution, use boxes, trash cans and bushes to hide. Use your stealth for sneak attacks on your enemies or to proceed undetected.

key Features:

  • Four main regions, each containing 8 levels to complete.

  • Co-op mode up to 2 players.

  • Purchase more than 15 different items in the shop.

  • Play various arcade games in your hub.

  • Explore the story of the city by finding artifacts scattered throughout the city.

MIBT

MIBT

Game that has kept me entertained in the last hours, that parodies the MIB saga. In reality each stage is overcome in the same way, obtaining 20 X, which are thrown by enemies when falling. But each stage is different, with different traps, and different enemies are added, that shoot, that move faster, with shields …

It can be played in solo or cooperative mode.

7.5 / 10

Here come the Men in Black…

MIB is the third release from feruloxstudios. They are quietly developing a reputation for developing quirky retro-styled classic arcade games. These are the types of games that those of us who are from Generation X (and Y) typically hold onto as key milestones in our gaming history.

Classically Challenging

One of the important reasons why has to do with just how challenging those games were. The controls would often be quite simple but they’d be nigh on impossible to master. This had both pros and cons. The aggravating con would be that they would eat your quarters if you played them at the arcade and wanted to advance. This, of course, was what they were designed and programmed to do.

Olden: Card Game

Olden: Card Game

Olden: Card Game is designed in such a way that every battle will give a different and unique experience. A mix of overpowered and weak cards in your hand and deck will constantly test you and your opponent ability to adapt and make the best out of the current situation. In order to give players a form of individuality and theory crafting outside the match, the game offers unique talent systems per every avatar that will help the player with various perks.

In this battle of entities there is no deck building and no card collecting, so all you need to do in order to enter the match is to choose your avatar and hit the play button.

For now, there is: Entity of Light, Death, Chaos and Life.

Your entity will give your troops a unique bonus during the whole length of the game.

Basic rules

To win the game, the player needs to harvest 300 value points. Your entity receives value points whenever you sacrifice your own cards.

Once your turn begins, you receive 2 tokens: an action token and a draw token. Your options are to:

  • Play a card and build your board presence

or

  • Engage in combat by attacking one of your opponents’ cards

or

  • sacrifice your own card, so you can harvest its current value.

Doing any one of these three things will consume your action token.

To consume your draw token, simply click on the main deck to draw a card, and that’s it.

For now, there are 3 card abilities, effect, passive and combat.

Effect is something that will happen only once, at the moment a card is played by the player. A card’s effect does not trigger in cases where you summon or resurrect it with other cards. Effects take place only if they are played directly from your hand.

A card’s passive ability will be present so long as the chosen card is on the board. Once the card with the passive ability is removed from the board, its passive ability will go away along with it.

Combat ability is something that will only trigger once that card engages in combat with an enemy card.

As mentioned, you can use your turn to perform an attack action and engage in combat. To perform an attack, simply place your card on the top of the opponent card. After one turn, your card value number will sink its value into the opposing card. If your card has enough value to destroy your opponent’s card, it will do so, and then it will return to your side of the board.

If your card does not have enough value to destroy an opponent’s card, it will do its damage after one turn, and then be destroyed.

You can engage in combat with cards that are already on the board, or with the cards from your hand.

One card can be attacked by multiple cards at the same time.

To win the game, a player needs to harvest 300 value points. Players can harvest value points by sacrificing their own cards that are not currently in combat. To perform a card sacrifice, select your card, and then click on its respective altar. Performing a card sacrifice will consume your action token.

Son of Nor

Son of Nor

First it’s important to note, that this title is the result of a Kickstarter project with a rather small budget. The developers put a lot of effort to make the most out of it, so it can be easy to forget that it’s just a very small indie game and should be considered as such.

“Son of Nor” is a combination of adventure, action and puzzle game built around an unique combat mechanic: Instead of using normal (or abnormal) weapons, you command the world and the elements around you using your extraordinary telekinetic and elemental-magical powers.

Ripping boulders out of walls and smashing your foes with them is soo much fun.

I have played the early access for a few hours now. The game has an original fantasy story and Zelda-like puzzle dungeons which I enjoy. But the game’s core experience is its physics based combat. You raise and lower the ground, you throw stuff at enemies, you throw enemies at enemies… you get the point. It’s a lot of fun and very rewarding. Combat can get out of hand in larger battles. But it hasn’t frustrated me yet. Simply reload and retry - I usually manage well the second time around.

Alpaca Ball: Allstars

Alpaca Ball: Allstars

Nice little indie gem with good core gameplay. It was designed with controller in mind. Playing with keyboard is possible but lacks precision in both movement and striking the ball. Has various arenas and ball types, but the single-player campaign is very short. I can only recommend to buy this one if you plan to play a lot of local co-op or during a deep sale. Online Multiplayer would be an awesome addition to the game that can justify the current full price.

I could not see where my first two hours of this game just vanished.

Super fun and super enjoyable.

Devs, if you are reading it, please consider an online mode with leadership table and other stuff. This would definitely motivate people to stick with the game and to look forward to any addons and different events.

Space Overlords

Space Overlords

Space Overlords is a third person top down brawler where you control a giant robot thing and run around a very, very small planet smashing the buildings on it and avoiding trees which are apparently bad for you.

The gameplay is very dry, smashing buildings gets boring quickly. Graphics are ok but not remarkable… at least they’re not pixel graphics. $8 is way too much to pay for something this boring.

Real player with 10.3 hrs in game

Space Overlords by 12 Hit Combo is a hack and slash type of game that does not quite manages to deliver the product desires. At first glance, Space Overlords seems decent at the beginning when you have a choice of picking overlords but unfortunately deals with a significant amount of issues. For instance, the story starts nicely but turns out to be quite generic and simple, followed by the repetitive gameplay in terms of destroying cities. Another issue I noticed was the lack of description in terms of buffs received. It usually resumes to one word which essentially you have to press and essentially guess what happens next. Another issue was the difference between overlords which is supposed to be based on stats but personally I would have never guessed due to the fact that each class seems to be the same. The game in a nut shell is kill all the buildings and destroy the attacking towers.

Spooky Chase

Spooky Chase

Spooky 2D platformer - You are your own worst nightmare as you try to collect flags and avoid getting caught by your past selves that replicate all your past movements and chase you. Fun with friends!

I really liked Spooky Chase. Not a long game or many levels, but the aspect of trying to avoid your past self is always fun. Makes you ponder whether you want to speed through it or play it safe for your future self.

It took me almost 8 hours completing the whole game, as some levels take a long time due to RNG involved. RNG in this game can feel very unfair which is its flaw, but I still think its a great game for the price.

The boss fight is also a bit difficult and it can also be annoying.

For the price, the cute costumes, and avoiding your past self is a game to get your hands on.

Very cool little game! Has a variety of content and gameplay, to play with your family and friends. Also, the team mode is very cool. What I really like is the way you can set your objectives: it’s free for all. You can try gather the best loot, try to survive, try to sabotage other players, try to kill them and steel their loot, try to gather the special loot only, try to have the best hat, etc., it’s very open-ended.

Watch out for hot-heads, might pick up some heat from the other players :) Better served chilly.

Renown

Renown

Key Game Features:

*** Fast-paced medieval survival with a strong emphasis on melee combat. 

  • From building humble farms to huge fortresses, the choice is with the player. 

  • A focus on horses, carts, and cavalry warfare. 

  • Custom armor system that deflects ranged attacks. 

  • Group systems for making Claims, taking titles, giving ranks and more.

  • Server Progression and Wipe systems, for an engaging and vastly replayable experience. 

  • Tools for Community Hosts to help tailor their servers. Future plans for extensive moddability.

  • Functioning Combat Alpha waiting for players**

What is Renown?

Renown is a multiplayer survival experience set in a vast and ever-changing medieval world. Players begin with nothing, gather resources, build a kingdom and fight to survive in the hopes of becoming renowned across the land. At its core, Renown is a first-person medieval fighting game, with a strong emphasis on competitive skill-based combat. 

Renown takes the most enjoyable and popular aspects from contemporary open-world survival games which include Building, Progression and Social Politics. These are then combined with close quarters, skill-based combat to create an immersive and engaging multiplayer experience. 

Key Game Features:

The three main gameplay features which act as the pillars of Renown are:

Combat

The combat system functions with a set of easy to learn, hard to master fighting mechanics. The system is also built so that it is very easy to understand, allowing new players to easily learn the basics. As players become comfortable with the system, their developing level of skill becomes a major source of enjoyment.

Building

The building system uses an easy-to-understand and deploy method. This allows for greater depth when creating both small and large castle or village-type structures. From a small house with only a door, players expand into fully customized castles, creating structures truly unique to the person’s ability and experience.

Raiding

The raiding system represents the pivotal activity that all types of players can undertake in-game. What’s the point in building a great castle if you can’t level someone else’s to the ground. In a way the players are always in an “Arms Race” to see who can build the strongest, smartest, and most awe-inspiring structures. We want to provide you with just as awe-inspiring weapons, siege engines and all the utilities required for an ongoing medieval war.
