Destroy the Dummies
I highly recommend this game, it is a very fun game it is a game with a lot of strategy fast reflexes and a lot of cool and unique levels and rooms. The creator definitely put a lot of effort and time into this game it is hard but in a good way. Sometimes you just have to accept your gonna lose and just try again. Anyways I highly recommend it great job creator.

Due to this being an indie game I feel like the more reviews the better, so you can improve your future and current work.
Notes: I would have enjoyed some atmospheric music, but as I played I found that I was so focused on the combat (and the horror) that I didn’t really notice the lack of music midway through the game. I loved the lighting choices you made, they were all really pretty and atmospheric. : ) Level 6 and 15 were crazy hard, super challenging I had my boyfriend help me win them, but if you were aiming for a challenging game you definitely succeeded there. The flashing lights on level 10 and 16 were a bit much, but definitely created a creepy ambiance. I really liked the level deign for the final level (17) the colors and assets were great, and the heath potions were super cute they reminded me of tomato soup! I didn’t really use the speed boosts myself, but my boyfriend did so take that as you will.

Nyaa-kuza!!
The UI, level hub, and main menu art assets are absolutely gorgeous, and it seems like there’s a lot of content to play through. There are a ton of different characters in the dialogue sequences but I don’t think it gets to the point of being overwhelming. I also really enjoy certain aspects of the combat, like choosing between different kinds of weapons (including a catzooka??!), and the falling clothesline; I hope there’s more interactive environments like that. It’s so obvious that hours and hours of love went into the making of this game.

I love the art style of the menu and character portraits as well as the music, however the sprites for the fight section just don’t really match everything else. In fight segments, I found you can easily just push against enemies and swing your katana at them which prevents them from attacking back. The boss fights however gave a better fight.
Personally, I think it would work better with a non pixel-like look for the fight segments and change the fights to just boss fights, each with their own moveset as even on Hard, the regular enemies were no threat at all.

Slice, Dice & Rice
Disclaimer: This game has no online support so keep that in mind when you look at its mixed review rating
Slice, Dice & Rice is 1on1 2D Fighting in it’s purest form.
On the surface, the one hit kill mechanic may seem arbitrary and make some characters feel unbalanced compared to others, but if you take the time to learn
a) the different functions of your 3 attack options (vertical, horizontal and heavy)
b) the parry button and your movement abilities
and most importantly
c) how these first two options flow, link and cancel into each other

I am a man of my word, it would appear the issues below have been ammended. I can recommend this game!
This is my first negative review on Steam. Hopefully not permanent as the basis of this game is great but is only let down by button response. And seeing it’s a game based on dodging, timing and parrying it doesn’t leave much hope.
It’s a fighting game similar to mortal kombat but you only have one hit to kill. Against friends it’s great as you can have a laugh at others misfortune but against the CPU you really notice the input issue. A mistimed dodge, parry or jump can be lethal so for it not to happen when you ask is a deal breaker.

Gladiators Manager
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1505940/Orc_Warchief_Strategy_City_Builder/
Gladiators Manager is a game set in the ancient Roman Empire that leads you into a brutal world which can only be escaped through death or wealth. Should you choose the latter, you will rebuild a failing school of gladiators to forge your path to glory. You begin with managing a school on the edge of bankruptcy and slowly expand it by adding and upgrading buildings. Providing the best staff and facilities for gladiators fighting in your name will quickly pay off. To succeed in arenas you need to prepare suitable equipment and teach your gladiators skills that allow them to survive. Test your might on less prestigious arenas before you take on the mightiest warriors of the known world in the Roman Colosseum. Further in the game you will be facing diverse challenges. Your best gladiators might die or retire as you pursue significant goals, such as earning the patronage of the local governor. You might also be forced to relocate your school to avoid local conspiracies and seek fame in more wealthy regions.
If you remember that fortune favors the bold we will soon meet among the Roman elite.
Expand your ludus (gladiator school) to unlock new weapons and training options for your future champions. Will you take massive loans and try to make fast money on risky bets or will you ensure that no coin is wasted and all losses are calculated?
Acquire and train your slaves to have them become true gladiators. Combine different schools of combat to create the deadliest of combinations. Teach your best ones to use signature gladiator weapons such as the net and trident. More advanced techniques will come in handy when facing multiple opponents or against the claws and teeth of arena beasts.
Gladiators fight in simultaneous turns – before each turn you choose the best move for the gladiator to counter a tactic chosen by enemy AI. Enemy behavior will be radically different depending on what your enemy is fighting for. Is it gold, glory, or the pleasure of taking lives?

Realms of Eternity
This is an impressive start to what might be an amazing game… I agree with some other reviews that the content is still in-process, but just by people who like to swing swords around and cut stuff, or shoot bows (which is actually very accurate in stark contrast to the sword-phasing in and out of contact) there is a ton of data still left on the table to be collected for refinement.
I was really impressed with the introduction of the messenger ninja, and the overall environment. Also, I had the bow & arrow mini-game freeze on me… I went back, since I was close to high score, but it froze again. boooo… Another thing with the mini-game, is that some of the enemy ninja freeze/glitch where you can’t kill them. Thus, you can not progress to the next wave.

I know this game is in Early Access and I hate to give a negative review when I can see that the developer is actively developing the game. However, what’s available right now is just not enough and it’s also not very good. It’s a nice start to what might be a good game, but I have to review the game that I played.
What’s available right now is two things. A very simple sandbox where you can cut pieces of wood / bamboo and some fruits & veggies with a sword (2 handed or 1 handed). You also have a bow & arrow wave shooter mini-game, that’s very similar to Holopoint … just not nearly half as good.

Escaping Hell
It’s a fun indie game that mixes up its presentation and has a unique sense of style. I like the theme of being kind to yourself and how the gameplay supports that.

GLADIUM
Hey! If you enjoy short and sweet reviews, follow my curator page [url]here![/url] I am an independent Curator providing reviews and insights to the games that need the spotlight! Thank you! :)
Gladium is the project of Eirik Wiklund a one man developer studio and yes, the game reminded me of Domina , a strategy game where you took charge of a Ludus, training and preparing Gladiators in a management approach, where the fights were simulated. Both games enjoy the pixel art style and that’s where the comparison should end.

This is quite a difficult game to review tbh. It is a very unforgiving game, some of the bosses you will fight will kill you many times, the part that some people may dislike the most is it’s grind system to be able to defeat the bosses or even try another go at them (you gain blood points to trade for perks and for another chance at a boss if you fail), meaning that if you lose to a boss you will have to play either normal mode or horde mode to try again, making the game VERY repetitive. You will also earn gold to unlock new equipment, which is necessary to try different strategies as you cannot fight all the bosses in the same manner (at least I advise againts it). Ultimately I’m giving it a thumbs up because I had fun the whole 14 hours I played and I even got a little addicted, the theme helped as I really like gladiator style fighting games, but be warned, if you get frustrated easily this may not be for you.
