Crime Stories 2: In the Shadows
Nice little game with enough content for some hours.
This is a true casual game. You nearly can’t lose it. The only bug I found is that sometimes it can’t identify that there are no moves left (it counts blocked items playable).
The score…..if you like it…but than it repeates a few tunes too much.

Crime Stories 2: In the Shadows:
Your name is John Doyle, an ex-cop who is seeking revenge for the death of his family. The trail leads you to New York City. On the same evening that you are investigating one of your leads, you hear a loud female voice shouting “Freeze. . . drop your guns” coming from an alley close by. Without any hesitation, you rush to the alley and find two young men pointing a gun at each other. The female officer is positioned further back, moving her gun from one gunman to the other. Within a second, all hell comes loose, and shots are fired from both gangsters. One bullet hits the officer in the leg. You run towards the officer to assist her as one of the gunmen is down, and the other slowly makes his escape. Right at that moment, you know you are going to be involved in a case with the New York Police department. Would this case help you to find additional leads on your family killer? You’ll have to find out in Crime Stories 2: In the Shadows.

A really fun game once you get used to the controls. There’s tons of power combination and pretty good outfit customization that makes it loads of fun to recreate existing superheroes or come up with your own and run around feeling powerful. Very rough around the edges but worth it if you love superheroes and/or roguelikes

Purchased this game for $1.99 today based upon the video of the game play as I love RGS (Run & Gun Shooters) like this and it's not half bad. My only gripe is that you have to play the game with the damn keyboard using WASD for directions and the J button to shoot your gun and the K button to jump. My suggestion to the programmer is to put in controller support. With controller support this game would be totally fun to play instead of just "neat". It's the game mechanics of SHINOBI with the look and feel of Rolling Thunder or Dead Fox: Human Weapon (Codename Viper) but with a Satanic Occult twist to it. I like the main character's name is Sgt. Kick Ass. *LOL* It's $1.99 so one can't complain too much, if you're willing to adjust to the WASD +J&K Keyboard layout (to me fingers are too close), I'd say Buy the game. I really do hope in the future it gets controller support. It could't be that hard to do.

I couldn't stand it for more than a couple of minutes. The game is ugly, repetetive and looks horrendous, it plays out sluggishly and boringly. The music that starts playing when starting up the game is some stock shreeking that stabs into my brain.
It is a great, A-Grade worthy programming project for a highschooler. But it is not anthing more. It is not worth asking money on steam.

#### What have you gotten yourself into now?
**When Richard, the town farmer, finds himself at the center of his wife's murder, it's up to him _(or you)_ to figure out what the hell to do.**
You live on a small island village, with friendly people, law enforcement, and your wife.
Everyday starts the same, harvest yesterday's crops, give them to your wife, and plant some more. Forever and ever, maybe sometimes you head to the market to pick up some tools.
But one day, that all changed, late at night, you lash out at your wife, and kill her. As you feel her pulse stop, you have no idea what to do. Will you turn yourself in? Or will you hide, stealthily avoiding punishment.
Make your choice in the First Part of this 2 game duology.
Meet friendly faces! Make friends, make enemies! Make your own story. With endless possibility to how your scheme will end up, there is no way you'll make it out of this scot-free, as you'll have more than just your wife, taken away from you.
Replanted is primarily based on the "Evil Farming Game" myth.

## Brawler
A classic-style beat em up made by a small team. Impressive! I enjoyed the three heroes and great variety of enemies. They looked realistic; almost like digitized actors. The music was catchy, and stages were fun. The cutscenes with the reporter, hero, and the ending were a nice touch. I felt it could use voices for landing hits, continue, difficulty setting, and maybe free lives, But well done on this indie game.

## Wave Break
_A fun and unique take on THPS style game._
* Be warned that the game has a very steep learning curve, especially if you've never played a THPS game before. If you have, you should feel mostly at home, but the game does offer unique twists and differences in gameplay that you will need to get used to and master.
* There is a lack of tutorial apart from the very basics, and there is a lot of vital information that the game doesn't tell you apart from the occasional tip during the loading screens.
*– [Real player with 8.2 hrs in game](http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198067501350)*
TLDR: This game is a lot fun playing solo or splitscreen with friends, especially for fans of THPS looking for something new and different!
Let's get one thing out of the way, this is not a 1-1 recreation of a THPS game, and it isn't trying to be. The controls are familiar if you've played those games, but a bit looser (Byproduct of riding a boat rather than a skateboard) and there are some differences like initiating automatics (this game's manuals) or reverts that while easy to get a hold of will require some conscious effort to not rely on muscle memory for at first if you're a veteran of that series. However, outside of its clear influences, this game has a style all its own! The visuals are fun and colorful which are a nice contrast to the more muted color pallets of other games of this type. The characters are animated well and the written dialogue doesn't take itself all that seriously adding some charm to it. If you are a fan of Synthwave music this soundtrack is heaven, pairing very well with the art direction making it very easy to get into a relaxed flow with the mix of chill and upbeat tracks. I've had fun with the campaign maps I've played so far and am looking forward to the rest. The single player will have you completing more traditional goals like high scores, collecting letters, landing specific tricks and even collecting secret tapes, but there are also a handful of "story missions" for each level that have you completing tasks that showcase some of the more unique gameplay features in this game like the slow motion shooting while you complete various Miami Vice influenced objectives based around running product and encountering undercover cops. From my brief experience with the park creator, I have high hopes for what the community adds to this game over time through Steam Workshop content as there appears to be a wide variety of options and I can see multiple people collaborating on a park in a session together being a lot of fun! Multiplayer has been a chaotic blast and having a deathmatch option adds some nice variety to the standard time attack and free skate modes. I would however like to see more game modes from both skating and shooter games added in the future for example graffiti, HORSE, capture the flag, king of the hill, etc. Overall I would say if you are on the fence about this game based on what you've seen so far, I can confidently say it is exactly what it advertises itself to be and the quality is there so please do yourself a favor and give it a shot!

## Rubber Bandits: Christmas Prologue
Fun PVP with friends. The game itself currently features three different maps to play, each having slightly different layouts. The matches are pretty quick (lasting a couple of minutes) and there is not a lot of stuff you are able to do besides fighting, BUT… When combined with friends, this game is a blast! It is fun and stupid, the more players play - the funnier it gets. And this is just a prologue, I cannot imagine how fun the full game will be

This game made me loose some laughts I haven't lost in a while! Really fun to play with friends! Specially if you like the rival style of the game, that makes you compete harder with your friends. You can also switch teams and team up!
I can easily recommend this for all ages, it's funny, practical and doesn't take much to understand and to play!
It does not get any funnier than this! (Maybe on the full realease)
