Sacrifice Your Friends
Basically, this is the mechanics of overcooked mixed with the gameplay ideas of Gang Beasts. It super fun to dash around use and throw the weapons, some weapons are a little more useful than others, but they are all counterable. It controls well. A bunch of cool little stuff to unlock, like hats and characters, a bunch of different powerful gods to play, all with different gameplay styles. A whole bunch of beautifully designed maps/artwork, and a whole bunch of other stuff to explore. A great and simple versus game that is definitely worth picking up.

This is an amazingly fun item-arena brawler. The closest games I would compare it to are the Bomberman series and Killer Queen Black.
Your character avatar has no impact on your move set, which consists of punching, grabbing/activating an item, and throwing an item. Your associated Ancient One cult (Cthulhu, Dagon, and Nyarlathotep right now) does have a slightly altered move set, which are fitting for the time-limited avatar transformations (similar to a Smash Bros. Smash Ball). The game moves at such a frantic, hilariously fast and fun pace that it doesn’t need more than this.

So you’ve read the description and now you’re down here in the comments trying to figure out what’s it all about. Click the video above to see some of the gameplay, mechanic and hear my thoughts on the game.
Appetite for Detestation is a 3D beat’em up set in the Victorian era where you get to play as the monster reeking havoc on the citizens in order to satiate your blood thirst. After reading that description I am sure you are, like I was, hype to jump into the game and get to slaying. Well, let’s talk about the positives of the game first. The music is probably the best part of the game. It’s eerie, inviting and sets the mood for a monster of the time. The environments are also well designed; plenty of destructive pieces and platforming to be had in each level.

Musashi vs Cthulhu
Highly addictive game with a simple concept where timing is crucial for high scores. I’m not very good 285 is my highest score thus far but I can’t stop playing. I love the art style there’s a lot going on fog, torches, hanging bodies,great attention to detail. It’s a pity i die when I stare at the scenery. The audio is well done also music and ambient sounds really add a lot to the atmosphere. I’m having a great time with it and I can’t wait for more content. Good job devs Recommend

i have to say, that of all the games i have played that share this very same concept, and that been on a mobile gaming platform, playing this game in particular with a controller rather then tapping on a screen took me like 30 minutes to get use to it, but in no time at all natural progression finally kicked in and i was tapping away like a semi pro, and the funny thing about a game like this is, that it is so simple in design and game play but can be real challenging also, and is the reason why you find yourself going again and again until you get that high kill rank score and then once you get a high score your always challenging yourself to beat it, plus having an online ranking board to compete against other players makes the game even more worth while to play, and this game compared to all the others like it has that real unique spin on it where your not just tapping left and right all the time in certain tap sequences, you have to tap up, down, left, and then Y, B, A that is with the controller though, and i really like this method of control and that’s what makes this game more enjoyable to play is the unique control style plus when you get to the monsters with the extra marked points on their bodies then that’s when it gets more intense, so yeah i really like this game and i have been a fan of this type of game since playing them on mobile devices, but i have to say overall this by far has to be my most favourite one of all, so in closing i will say, that this is a simple game with a unique style of control and and challenging game play, and offers even more potential then then other games that are like it, and i can’t wait to see the story mode added and different Backgrounds, costumes and weapon skins for Musashi and last but not least i would be so happy if you add an extra playable Female Character that also somehow fits into the story mode to make her more relevant in addition to been added to the game, when it becomes available

They Bleed Pixels
They Bleed Pixels - Satisfaction that comes at a price
If you check on Steam it actually comes at pretty low price. But obviously I was not talking about money. I was talking about time (which equals money) but let talk more about why I came to such a conclusion.
So if you have read my previous review you probably guessed that I like this game because it is a 2D platformer. And yes I like platformers and I was collecting them in the past when I had time to play any games. Naturally I came across this game and loved it at first sight. And why not? I watched the trailer and I saw fast paced action, lots of different moves and attacks. I loved this simplistic but beautiful art style. It also said it was inspired H.P Lovecraft which told me absolutely nothing at first but after searching online I know all I needed. Another thing that got me really excited was the number of achievements to unlock. And my friends know that I’m a achievement-junkie. But I should have read what those achievements are about. From the tags I new it wasn’t going to be easy and I was quite ready for that. So I grabbed my controller, fired up the game and focused on my TV screen…

They Bleed Pixels is a challenging wall jump platformer, with a satisfying unique premise, quality combat and engaging mechanics.
You control a presumably troubled student at the Lafcadio Academy for troubled girls. She stumbles across a magical book that makes you have wild dreams involving a few strangely horrific creatures, several bloody spikes, and an ever present number of saws. The book also has glowing bits and pages that not only are missing, but found inside said dreams. Take heed of any such events that occur in reality, as these are not normal behaviors for books or their pages.

Skautfold: Into the Fray
Tercera entrega de la (a futuro) pentalogía Skautfold, saga indie de un solo hombre y por desgracia desconocida para muchos.
ItF nos devuelve a la misma isla donde se desarrolla el primer juego, Shrouded in Sanity, solo que en este caso controlamos al tercer caballero, Hito. Como especialista en armas, el juego se torna un «shooter» isométrico con una dificultad que no deja respirar mucho, quizás sobre todo al principio, cuando aún disponemos de pocos recursos. La variedad de armas cubre los clásicos de todo juego con disparos más unas cuantas más exóticas propias del universo de corte Lovecraftiano.

Skautfold has been a series of slightly rough gems, and Into the Fray is no exception.
I really do feel the need to emphasis how much I love the world and story Steve Gal has been developing. It has expanded game by game from one mansion besieged by the eldritch Fog to a world under threat of being overwhelmed, without losing its focus on an interesting core cast of characters. That is a difficult feat, and one worthy of commending.
As is developing games in such a variety of genres and having them all turn out at least good. First a fairly straightforward 2D action game, then an action-platformer with Metroidvania elements, and now this - a top-down shooter with the bullet-spamming, circle-strafing energy of a 90s first-person shooter.
