It’s very similar to Slay the Spire and Monster Train but you’ll like it more than either of those if you prefer a dark aesthetic. The music and story are also more substantial here than other games in the genre. You get access to 3 classes (basically archer, fighter, invoker) which determine the type of base deck you’ll play. Every class is broken into 3 subclasses (i.e. invokers can be summoners, blood mages, or necromancers) that each have unique passives and a unique subclass ability. It’s honestly pretty remarkable how each subclass feels very distinct from its counterparts.

Ufflegrim
Great game, has a lot of replay value and the soundtrack and visuals are charming as well. This game deserves more attention. It’s easy to play but hard to master and has many different ways to play. If you like strategy, RPG, rouge-like or card battler games than this is something you should at the very least try.
– Real player with 25.4 hrs in game
Ufflegrim is a unique take on turn based tactics, and i approve greatly.
You play as more of a summoner, each creature you summon will fight and die for you. You can also play creatures on other creatures to make buffs. Drop effects and Place effects drive this game, and make many unique, and interesting synergies you can build decks around. Though you can attack things yourself, and attacking things is a way to pull creatures from your deck to summon, it’s not your main source of damage, and doing so too often on a floor is likely to get you killed.

Obsidian Prince
Reviewed in early access: I’ve sank many many hours into this game by now. The Mechanics are solid, the concept works and the voxel art is gorgeous and that’s coming from someone who never liked voxels before. The game is quite packed with fairly unique concepts, such as a druid whose big thing is mold. If you enjoyed Into the Breach, the combat in Obsidian Prince is also about getting hit as little as possible, while maximizing the damage you do. Obsidian Prince is quite excellent in what it sets out to do and there’s new and exciting things coming out regularly. The devs are clearly passionate about the project and it shows.

I interviewed Sigrid and Mattias from Unleash the Giraffe about their work on Obsidian Prince back in February (here ). Since then, I’ve logged over 200 hours on the various test and alpha builds they’ve put out, and I’ve killed more purple zombies than you can shake a pointy stick at.
I’ve provided a fair share of feedback, and it’s fair to say I’ve gotten to know the developers and their game fairly well. As such, I’d say it’s fair to question whether I’m really able to provide a critical and unbiased review of their game – so I won’t even try.

The Amazing American Circus
Target Audience: Those Willing to Take the Lows With The Highs in Card RPGs
Summary:
This is a recommendation in essence, but for a specific subset of people.
I’m going to be straight up from the get go here: The Amazing American Circus is one of those games that I want to love up and down, but ended up being the biggest thorn in my side due to what happened during the review period. To say that I faced some of the worst bugs: specifically saved game bugs, in my review career would have been an understatement: I had 8 separate runs break wildly in that period where I could not continue to make progress. While those bugs seem to be fixed now, I have a form of PTSD at this point. Every time I play, I’m waiting for the game to break again. Hell, even the video I made had a major bug in it. There’s a reason I have around 40+ hours of gameplay without actually beating the game, and to say it hung over the experience would be an understatement to say the least.

This is not a Slay to Spire, this is not a Monster Train. The Amazing American Circus is not a roguelike-roguelite card game, it is more like a card game built around a campaign, with some management sim built around it, in which you need to cover the costs, upgrades etc from the incomes you get during the shows.
If you more curious about the game, and want to check a short, ~20mins long video in which I showing what content you could expect from the game with one circus show (card battle) included, then here is mine:

Broken Universe - Tower Defense
I have changed my mind!
Why I changed my review:
-
The Devs are super engaged with there community!
-
The game already has a ton of content!
-
The art style is really nice and easy on the eyes!
-
Thought a limited soundtrack, its good whats there!
-
Game gets regular updates almost every day!
-
Extremely customizable gameplay!
-
Very easy to run, and super responsive.
That’s not to say its perfect!
There are a bunch of annoying things in the game.
– Real player with 104.3 hrs in game
This is a really solid tower defense game. The devs update it to fix balance issues and the game is very polished. Sometimes when I rush into a level and use my usual strategy I can skate by but there’s a lot of times where I have to change my strategy or invest in upgrades to complete a level.

Zombie Strike
honestly i have only played 3hrs and that was from first login. i will be continuing as i have no reasons yet not to. consequently, this review is subject to change
the incredibly naive will quote this as a pay-to-win game, which is utter nonsense. only game i ever played (in 40 years of gaming) that falls into THAT category is zynga’s poker game which you could win actual money playing…….. as long as you were an american living in america. you can pay but you don’t win anything.
this game does NOT target your wallet……..that’s just cheap. no, this game is SO overly priced it targets your savings account :D
