Vzerthos: The Heir of Thunder
This is one of those games you start and are a bit apprehensive about. It’s not a AAA, or a indie studio with 10 veterans, but rather 1 or 2 guys who have made a really nice, diamond in the rough.
Are there bugs, I’ve run across 2 map out-of-bound issues, that I reported and the dev was really responsive. Every time I start it up, I end up playing for a while.
It’s like Zelda meets Diablo. Constant progression, and a good pace of unlocking new abilities and weapons make this a really enjoyable experience. Once you get past your starting equipment you will start to feel more and more powerful, which is nice. It’s also easy to go back and get secrets you may have missed.

Vzerthos is a hybrid of a mouse-and-keyboard shooter and ARPG. The levels are all hand-crafted instead of randomly generated, and that’s a good thing because the best part of the game is hunting down all the secrets. You have a pretty big arsenal of ranged and melee weapons you unlock and upgrade, and some slightly overpowered skills you can buy with all that money you’ll get finding secrets. Secrets are also the only way to upgrade your HP max and mana max/regen so going back to previous areas to clean them up once you get more abilities is as advisable as it is fun.

Best Miner
Lucky me gets to write the first English review for “Best Miner”, which is a 2D top down retro pixel arena shooter where you shoot a bunch of samey NPCs. The quality is quite simply garbage as the screen shots show.
They chose to use obsolete retro pixel “art” as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It’s unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. Resolution and controls are locked. These flaws push this game far below minimum acceptable standards for PC.

Capsule
No key binding=thumb down. This is unplayable on my AZERTY keyboard.
The game itself looks like an attempt at a roguelite arena shooter, but very lazily done. I have nothing against minimalism, but the game is just too simplistic here. The dev should have kept working on it till it’s done.
There is literally no option menu, except for the music volume.
Lots of items listed in the menu, but no way to know what they do. They’re just there. Even after you pick them up in game, it’s not clear what they do. There seems to be stats to your character but it’s not accessible.

Short version is the game isn’t done. How not done? There are no options for adjusting window size.
The problem is someone put a lot of work into this. The art is great. The story seems fine. Combat kinda works. However it’s in a state where my 18 minutes of play reveled critical flaws; you get stuck on walls and enemies. It has keyboard movement with keyboard aiming with tiny projectiles against spastic enemies. The drop system also seems to be compromised; health drops were everywhere when at full health and then rarely showed after taking damage.

Livelock
Livelock is a Scifi Top-Down Shooter in which you play a Machine implanted with the personality of a Human being called “Intellect” and after awakening from your glorious slumber you get sent off on your merry journey to revive Humanity.
The Game currently features 3 “Intellects” to choose from :
The Catalyst which has the Ability to go for Healing but also features a Damage oriented Playstyle skillset.
The Hex whose entire build is revolved around Flatout Burstdamage , Crit , High DPS and Mobility . but very squishy.

TL:DR - This is a fun little twin-stick, ability-shooter game with some nice variety and customization, but left me wishing there was more of it. I enjoyed the game’s bullet-hell brawler feel as a change of pace from more technical games like Helldivers or longer-term time sinks like Diablo 3. Worth playing.
Pros:
+Decent class variety. Offers 3 classes which each have a primary focus, but have several ways you can play them and different twists you can put on their abilities.
+Growth feels rewarding in the way it enhances power and increases playstyle options.

The game has 30 levels.
There are six boss battle levels, and some strange mechanic levels and story levels.

Active accessories include stealth, shields, rapid fire, bombs, and mines.
Passive components include increased health cap, increased damage, increased movement speed, and decreased active skill cooldown.
Clid The Snail
In a world where only the distant memory of human existence still lingers, you play as Clid, a troublemaking, eccentric snail who has just been exiled from his home citadel. Joined by a faithful and talkative firefly, Belu, you will meet a peculiar gang of outcasts and find a place to call home. Among this new group of friends, you will discover a newfound purpose: Exterminating the mysterious slug plague that is ravaging the land.
Clid The Snail is a unique top-down shooter where character-driven narrative and mindful combat take the center stage. Through Clid, you’ll experience a story about exile, friendship, and betrayal, and live the adventures of a troublesome, unruly snail that doesn’t belong. Explore a treacherous world full of threats and challenges, where strategic positioning, precise gunplay, and enemy behavior are paramount to your survival. Discover the truth behind the slug plague corrupting the world and save the land from ultimate ruin.
Get creative with your guns, grenades, and unique snail shells to outsmart your enemies. Use the environment to your advantage and learn to position yourself to emerge victorious.
A shy hedgehog, a shaman turtle, a mute bat, a ninja frog, and a one-eyed chameleon: these are the members of Alastor. Return home after each quest to rest, stock up on resources, upgrade equipment, and develop friendships. Get to know these unique characters and unravel their past to find out the key to the story.
Swamps, desserts, mountains, islands… Each quest will take you to a new location waiting to be discovered. Help the local residents fight off the slug threat and become their hero! And don’t forget to keep a keen eye: Explore every level in search for extra goodies.
Powerful threats await you at the end of each mission. You will need to study their behavior, pay attention to detail, and choose your weapons wisely to survive these dangerous encounters.
Shooting isn´t always the answer. Use your weapons and intellect to solve puzzles, find secrets, and progress through the story. Sometimes, the answers are hidden in plain sight…
DARK MAZE

Eliosi’s Hunt
This game is a top-down shooter/platformer mix heavily inspired in Crash Bandicoot. For those who like this genre, like myself, this will be a fine addition to your collection.
This plays in a really fast pace and there are lots of collectibles to search for in each of the stages. The enemies and platforming aspect of the game sometimes feel unfair, but it’s mostly about getting used to the patterns and timing. The game also has nice speedrunning aspects.
This game was the most fun and challenge I’ve had in while. It was really hard getting 100% achievements on this game. Great experience, overall!

Great game. Fast paced and really dynamic, Eliosi’s hunt successfully preys the player’s attention to explore good-looking maps while fighting off enemies. The visuals are as great as the soundtrack, which fit nicely to each stage design. The difficulty and enemies' reactions are at a good level and the search for collectibles is fair and fun. I haven’t completed the character’s upgrades, but they do add differences in the gameplay, which affects replayability, even more if you’re a completionist or a speedrunner. About the controls, they’re very responsive and the game feels both fluid and intuitive.
