Phoenix Force
If I could describe this game in one word… it’d be…
Lazy.
Look, I wanted to like this game, I love boss arena bullet hell games. One hit kill? Bring it freaking on! Taste the full color spectrum of mythical birds with unique elemental stuff? I’ll get my box of cereal ready! HELL YEAH WE’RE GONNA PECK SOME… oh.
So by boss Arena you mean have tough (high hp) enemy sway side to side with an attack gimmick. Ok…not much of a boss but ok…do they multi phase at least? Well if by multi fast you mean they throw in an additional attack and attack faster then…sure. They have a “Final” attack that if you do enough damage to them you can bypass…and that’s about it.

First of all: This is not a classic Shoot’em Up, because all you will be doing here is one bossfight after the other. There is no real story behind it, and if there was maybe a small table of text in the beginning of the game, I have totally forgotten about it, as it doesn’t matter anyway. This game is about pure action and reaction spread across 100 levels and even more challenge levels (if you dare to try them).
Although each of these levels consists of a relatively small amount of assets when it comes to background or enemy types, they are mixed up constantly so the game manages through this restriction to give the player a completely new challenge on each end every level. Where in between there are next to no loading times, wich makes the game nonstop action and because of that very enjoyable and fast paced itself.

ASTRO AQUA KITTY
Surprised this doesn’t have a higher rating. Maybe people are disappointed because they are comparing it to the first game and this game is very different. The first game was great because it has these crunchy controls with old school arcade-paced levels. This game is not like that. Unlike Milk Mine Defender, where you can only go left and right in an infinite loop, these are open maps where you have to hunt around and collect specific things. Also unlike Milk Mine, the powerups are not temporary but are items which can be collected and upgraded. Personally, I love it. It’s like if Star Fox was a 16-bit rpg with all the little side-quests and boss battles. But if you were expecting a continuation of Milk Mine, I can see why it would be disappointing.

Now I have finished it, I can say it worst its price. It is a very lovely sequel and a quality product for an indy title.
ASTRO AQUA KITTY is such an improvement compared to the previous one.
Now it is an Action RPG shoot-em-up with classes and multiples weapons. An immersive and even more cute artistic direction, a minded and polished level design that increase in size level after level and give you various tasks, all served by very good musics.
Devs made it with great care and you can feel it.

Primal Carnage: Extinction
Beginning/P2W?
For a game that went quiet for about a year, its begun updating again with new events, a new dinosaur class, and new rarity. Im going to be entirely honest despite my love for the game. There is a significant skill gap in this game for those who are just starting it. While this game is cheap the store imo is a good bit overpriced with mutations being nearly 10$(does not exceed this) and regular skins ranging from 3$ to 6$.
While the store is expensive or not you can go about purchasing skins a different way and utilize the market to negate this if that is your only worry with purchasing this game.

I’m not even going to touch on balance issues and glitches and whatnot; there are plenty of reviews that cover these things in depth. While I’m sympathetic to the fact that the dev team has neither the manpower, time or money to actually do anything but they try to push on regardless, there are plenty of issues I cannot turn a blind eye to.
Like many others, my biggest grievances come from the community itself. However, despite what many reviewers say about “roleplayers ruining the game,” I have in my time rarely encountered roleplayers outside of RP servers (which I do not use at all). It’s almost as if you have to actively search for these things, imagine that!

Space Debris
This is a great party game for rock-blasting retro space fun. I love the drop in/drop out feature and the massive number of gamepads supported.
There’s also a bit more to it than you might expect:
Several ships to choose from, each with their own unique style
Bring dead allies back to life
Collect space dust to power up
Collect debris from destroyed alien ships to unlock new ships and upgrades
Play it now! you know you want to.

My life as an archeologist
Every run will help you go further in the archeological treasure hunt, in this clicker roguelite blending the simple mindless entertainment of the clicker with the ever-renewing fun choices of a roguelite, where every single decision can help you reach the final boss or hasten your demise.
With 60+ types of equipment and 60+ fully animated monsters to loot them from, you will be able to mold your character as you choose by improving a wide array of stats and gaining unique abilities!
Every single boss you slay, up to 10 per run, will let you choose one artefact from a pool of three. These artefacts will help specialize your character as you wish, by giving her attacks a chance to do explosive damage, allowing you to stop time, gain a ferocious turtle buddy, or a healing fairy to help you to deal just a bit more damage before you die.
Three classes to choose from every run:
-
The bulky zoologist: This heavy hitter knows the enemy’s weak point and specializes in deadly poison and survivability!
-
The cunning ethnologist: This ancient technology specialist knows how to maximize her results when using long forgotten machinery and managing her own energy to do it again, and again!
-
The never-alone theologist: Why attack enemies on your own when you can call on ancient spirits to do your dirty work faster while you relax?
Finally, even dying is not the end of the world! Every monster you kill during your run advances your research, and with enough coins you can even acquire some of their powers!
Grand Class Melee 2
This is one of the best local multiplayer games that I have ever played- period. I played the first Grand Class Melee on my friend’s Xbox 360, and had such a great time, because there is so much freedom in your character, and in countering the other characters- and that means that every game is unique in how you have to play. It means that gameplay can be incredibly meta and powerful, or cheap and gimmicky. This game is very similar to the first, but almost exclusively an improvement over the original. The lack of split screen games on the market makes this game a real treat to play, and is an excuse to get friends to be together. If there are any negatives to me, they’re the lack of online, and the strength of the homing projectiles. The online is admittedly a not crucial, but the fact that these projectiles, which usually only move in 4 directions, are able to move any which way for a nearly unlimited time, it just too strong to not pick if you play to win. But overall the game is great, and I won’t stop playing it for a long time.

I don’t want to be cruel with the developers and say that you shouldn’t even try this game. But well… you probably shouldn’t.
Even thought you can see what they tried to do, an arena fighter with different characters and abilities, in the end it is not satisfactory. It is kinda confusing to understand what is going on, since the UI is so simple that doesn’t even explain things to you. The combats are VERY unbalanced and the game is not fluid. Not to say that the AI is just unbeatable (you’ll only win by the unbalance factor).

Krunker
THIS IS A MOVEMENT BASED FPS GAME. I’m seeing a lot of bad reviews about speed-hackers and there’s no such thing. Think of it sorta like Titanfall’s movement. Slide hopping is the main movement mechanic and certain weapons and classes allow even more movement opportunities (shotgun/rocket jumping, wall jumping, wall grinding).
As someone that’s played the game for about 2 years now, I can attest to how addicting the game and its mechanics are. The community is tight-knit and welcoming (especially on Twitch), there’s market and trading features similar to CS:GO, there’s a comp scene with weekly cash-prize tournaments, there’s loads of ways to customize your game including custom mods, scopes, and overlays, and there’s an endless amount of content to be played with the thousands of custom games people have made.

Krunker is a hard game to get into. Public lobbies are full of stompers and custom games need basic understanding of game mechanics that, of course, no one tells you about. Im going to try to explain the basics of the game, in case you dont want to make your own research.
The most basic thing you need to know about is slide hoping. Its easy to download the game and in your first game get confused, seeing everyone around you flying like if they were cheaters. Most of them arent. You see, unlike in games like Quake or Counter Strike, strafing wont matter while slidehopping. Landing while crouching will make you slide, providing you a nice speed boost that you can chain to do a “slidehop”. Jump, hold shift and a few seconds after you land jump again. This is something you will do a lot. Actually, all the time. Get used to it. Also keep in mind that some classes like the SMG can walljump or “rocketjump”…? with the shotgun.

Bloody Efforts
Imagine your own mighty Heroes and make them REAL in Bloody Efforts.
Story:
_There were two Ancient Gods - Known and his older brother Unknown. The elder God created a whole world with mighty Elements and the younger one gave this world a life with all forms we know. Unfortunately, there was a conflict between the brothers, which turned into the battle. Clash of the Gods disturbed the world balance and brought many cataclysms upon all the races. The Elements began to fight each other and what is worse, a new ominous being appeared – the Hollow.
Until then, only a fraction of humanity managed to survive. Probably everyone would have been dead a long time ago, but something unexpected happened to the races. A new kind of people appeared, called Apostles. They are significantly different – stronger, faster, but the most remarkable is their ability to subdue power of the Elements. Some of the Apostles fight to restore order and peace once again. Others cooperate in achieving common goals. There are individuals who want to find remnants of the Gods or even get along with the Hollow, devoting their souls in exchange for new horrific powers. And who will you choose to be?_
