War of the Human Tanks
Battleships and chess with lolis.
Fantastic fun, interesting story with many twists and several endings, engaging gameplay that demands strategic thinking and an incredible soundtrack throughout.
The game’s story is told through visual novel format, which sets the state of affairs and the stage for the battle to follow. Battles are fought in real-time, but with a sort of turn-based system that runs on ticks, for example after giving a unit orders to move you must then wait for it to radio in asking for new orders before it can be moved again. Battlefields are presented as a grid of octagons, and before the round commences you must first place your units as in Battleships. Each unit has it’s own special properties and characteristics similar to chess, for example some may move 2 spaces at a time whereas others may only move 1, or one unit might only be able to attack horizontally whereas others must attack at least 2 spaces ahead of itself. The aim of each battle is to eliminate the opponent’s ‘Command Tank’ before they destroy yours which, regardless of how many units they have remaining, wins you the battle. The battlefield is covered by a shroud as seen in most real-time strategies with sight range varying between your different units, so early game tactics may usually consist of Battleships-esque artillery strikes into the dark hoping you’ll hit something, as your units gradually advance closer to the enemy, thinning out their ranks until their command tank is within firing range.

The first time I saw War of the Human Tanks, I was put off by how obviously low-budget it is; that was a huge mistake. Apparently, the art style just needed some getting used to, because once I got into it, I thought the graphics were actually pretty good. There’s full voice acting, fun animations and even some really catchy music that makes me itch to buy the soundtrack.
But what about the meat of the game? That, for me, comes in two packages (or perhaps Amasson boxes): the story and the gameplay. Let’s get this out of the way: The story is awesome. I loved it. This is definitely not a “skip-the-dialogue” kind of game; in fact, after a certain point, the story became the main appeal. It’s simultaneously lighthearted and grim, with a really interesting setting that ends up being much more detailed than you might suspect at first. There are four endings (two main paths, with two endings each) that all end up being pretty radically different and are all fantastic in their own way. I’m really in love with the setting, and all the little things you can learn about the rather disenfranchised battle-androids they call Human Tanks; the story really exceeded my expectations in every way. The translation is great, and the writing is clever, funny and serious when it needs to be; some of the big twists were huge gut-punchers. I’d definitely say the story was maybe the best part for me, and it’ll stick with me and inspire me for other personal projects for quite a while.

41 Hours
Serious Sam… with a weird girl following you around
Pros: Good graphics
Gun modifications
Open World
The bullet-time is pretty dope
Some RPG elements
Cons: The RPG elements (skills, leveling, etc.) can be a lot better
Mindless waves of enemies spawning all around you
Needs more guns (like a sniper, shotgun, hand cannon, etc.)
Enemies have aim-bot like a mofo
The building mechanic needs work, as it’s unwieldy
Is it the best game ever? No… but is Serious Sam the best game ever? No, it’s not either. I’d really just compare this game to being a slightly worse Serious Sam… so for the price, it’s good if you’re looking for a game similar to Serious Sam.

41hrs Review
Its hard to give a review for this game as i did receive it for free via gift purchase from my brother and also this a game made by a small team and by what i can see and feel when playing the game they did not have a AAA budget.
So i finished the game on the pro skill level took me just over 7hrs to finish but keep in mind i have played tons of first person shooters and tend to finish games quite quick. I liked the game it has some frustrating moments which i will get too but overall its quite decent and for $20 bucks aussie dollars its not bad value.

Great flash game, and still great now; I might be biased having played this game who knows how long in the past, but I’ll always be excited seeing flash games break away, especially with flash now dead. Can’t wait to see if these guys or other flash game creators will bring along their (other) work for the later generations to see them.

Safe Not Safe
Ever wondered how stealth games of the future will look like?
This is how. Safe Not Safe reinvigorates the genre in several fundamental ways.
Meaningful exploration
Every mission is a completely new procedurally generated level. Explore freely and find your own way to the goal without a pre-designed solution.
Worthy Opponent
Powerful AI controls the whole base and commands robotic security. The AI is adapting to your actions and builds smarter and stronger defences on the fly.
Real Challenge
Rogue-lite elements are challenging but fair. No saves during the missions – success depends only on your plan and the way you combine your skills and gear.

Caveats:
-
The game is buggy and glitches. A LOT! And the devs will not (be able to) fix it.
-
The game is short. I have no idea how you can spend 45 minutes in a playthrough as stated on the store page. Realistically it will take you around 30 for your first run with failing a lot of jumps and not knowing where to go. Subsequent runs should scratch on the speed run goal time of 15 minutes.
-
You can get Mirror’s Edge and its sequel on sale for the full price of this game. (At least in Euro.)
That being said, I still recommend it. The developers were pretty upfront about the state of the game, its shortcomings and their lack of support. It’s a student project by graduates. Would have been nice if they released it for free, sure, but the price is cheap enough to forgive the lack of polish and content, especially on sale.

This game has a lot of pros and cons, but I still recommend at least on sale. But even at full price, it’s cheap, and has replay value, especially when the cons get addressed.
Pros:
-
FANTASTIC visuals and art design!
-
Fun gameplay design, that allows opportunities to mix things up if you want to.
-
Many routes, for high replay value, and to challenge yourself with the fastest shortcuts.
Cons:
-
MANY moments of bugs with clipping, getting stuck, and inputs not working very well.
-
VERY abrupt and unclear ending, though it was expected for a student project with a time limit.

Red Rust
Red Rust is retro-style side-scrolling game which uniquely combines fighting mechanics with shooting mechanics. The game is heavily inspired by 8bit and 16bit hits of the 90s, but it’s being developed with the modern player in mind. Tons of great animation, hand-drawn backgrounds, variety of in-game situations and powerful soundtrack!
It’s the year 1984 and you control Agent Red (or just Red), a soviet KGB officer who has been sent to the West on a secret mission. She is an attractive but brutal and cold-hearted girl! Over the course of the game she learns to understand her own emotions and the unfamiliar world around her.
Robo Terror
There is not one guide, not one video, and this game doesnt even show up on a search engine. Do you know why? Because the developers made it so hard its intended to piss you off so bad you break something.
– Real player with 7.3 hrs in game
The double jump doesn’t always work, but the game itself is fun. There are no settings in menu. Don’t expect it to be easy, it’s quite hard and will require some skill. But for 2€ it’s very good little platform shooter.
