Time Commando
Wow.
I was only 7 the last time I had ever touched this game, that was all the way back in 2009. I got frustrated with Time Commando because of how difficult it was, never being able to finish the game after already halfway through it and eventually gave up. I ended up losing the disc somehow and when I did decide to give it another try I never found it again nor could I find another copy anywhere else, so I gave up looking and eventually forgot the game even existed.
Then LO AND BEHOLD, 12 years later and I stumble across this game again on Steam. Words cannot express how absolutely THRILLED I was to be able to play Time Commando again!

i own it on CDROM now I own it on SteamROM
if u want the DOSBox to be in windowed mode with higher resolution, you have to go to the steam folder you installed it, like “X:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\Time Commando”, find “TC.conf” and change the window resolution to something like “windowresolution=1280x960” then either “fullscreen=false” or just Alt+Enter when it opens

Lithium City
| Follow my curator for more great game recommendations! |
Lithium City is a wonderfully atmospheric isometric twin stick action game. You play as a female warrior working her way higher and higher up in the city towards a final battle.
The game utilises guns, melee and thrown weapons and at times you will need all three. All will need to be used and due to the scarcity of ammunition you will frequently have to change weapons on the fly. Shooting is tight and easy and the various guns have the weight you’d expect. Even when everything feels far too hectic you can usually get back on top with judicious weapon use and occasionally running away! The controls are simple shoot/stab/punch with one button and dash with another, that’s it. Though the dash can be a little imprecise at times.

A lot of people are comparing this game to Hotline Miami, which is true in a way. You enter a room with a pre-set enemy placement, and try to kill everyone in there, learning and adapting to where they are and what weapons they drop and the best way to plan your assault through it.
That being said, there’s a few stark differences between the two. Hotline Miami is focused more on larger levels, entire floor plans and buildings you have to clear out, whereas Lithium City has smaller rooms. Lithium City is a bit shorter, and each level has more of a specific concept it goes with, whether it’s utilizing moving floors or defending a single room with waves of enemies running in. The biggest complaint I have in regards to gameplay would be that Lithium City is short, with only six chapters it shouldn’t take you more than five hours to beat. Which is fine, for the price, but I found myself wanting more stages that were fully open, which don’t really come in until near the end of the game. It’s also isometric, which works really well with this kind of gameplay.

Proxy Blade Zero
I find this game really really hard. But I think it’s good.
For me the experience of this game was as described, the difficulty is pretty hardcore. You have to be able to react instantly in order to block attacks, with certain enemies there is only a specific window of opportunity during which you are able to damage them. You only have a relatively small amount of health which does not regenerate and you seldom come across extra health. The first boss encounter was hard for me, but it’s sequence of attacks appeared to be very scripted. So you can basically learn when to parry and when to attack by rote, but that obviously can take a lot of trial and error which it did for me. I died a lot using that method lol. Another reason that this game was hard for me was simply because I kept pressing parry instead of attack and vice versa. I need to play more to get used to the controls and I’m also probably just not used to the Xbox 360 control. As well as that this is not a game that’s ideally played when you aren’t fully alert e.g. not after just getting up like I was when I first played. I don’t think it helped that I extra slow witted instead of my regular slow witted today lol. Anyway I’ve actually kept playing and now I’ve got the hang of the game, it helped to put it on easy difficulty. I got to the last boss which is pretty damn hard. I got him down to like 25% health but then it became even more difficult! I came close to the end but I think it’ll take me another full session just to beat the last part of the game! And that is in easy difficulty… One little thing to mention I think that boss is supposed to be able to know you off the platform where the battle takes place. However when my character was knocked out of it he just stood in midair instead of falling. It was an amusing moment =)

Proxy Blade Zero is a character action game (or hack n slash) which puts you in control of a humanoid robot named Fenrir a smaller version of Jehuty from Zone Of The Enders who can’t fly but can dash. Seriously if you’ve played Zone Of The Enders you will find the combat very similar, just on a smaller scale. In fact that combat is actually more fun that Zone Of The Enders because it doesn’t try too many things and keeps things simple.
Combat is the name of the game here. You have your parry button X (an odd choice) your attack button marked Y (Classic DMC style) and B is a delay which transforms your regular attacks with standard attacks. Using the right trigger allows you to dash and perform energy attacks.

Shing!
Shing! is a mixed bag, and difficult to place a final rating on. It’s very much a borderline case.
Good: The story and characters, while simple, are done exceptionally well. There are just enough setting details to leave you craving more. Music and dialogue are also nice. The jokes are on point. You will come to care about these silly little characters. The game has tons of charm.
Bad: The game has difficulty issues. Easy feels like it should have been Medium. Some of the optional challenges are so unreasonably difficult that I’m not convinced they’re even possible on the high difficulties. There are also a couple of places where the game fails to provide sufficient guidance (the block puzzle, for example, offers no hints).

Don’t let this comeback be for nothing
You see that? I’m using formatting here. That’s how hard I’m trying. Just get the game. It’s on a huge sale now. You’ve bought worse games for more money.
Shing! is a singleplayer and local co-op sidescrolling beat em’ up with a co-op lean, that has polished and flashy visuals utilizing a stylized aesthetic. It’s a charm and character powerhouse that goes in pretty heavy on the developers' nerdy humourous style. The polish here hits a surprising level for such an indie offering, resulting in a total package that is low on rough edges and high on fun. That is, now. I say now because the tale of Shing! is a tale of two Shings.

If you love mecha anime you will love this
Fastest VR game I have played so far. Basically Titanfall , Armored Core, and Zone of the Enders mixed together. All my Robotech / Gundam childhood dreams, the developer is obviously very passionate about mecha anime. Very fun and challenging, great music.

Hanako: Honor & Blade
I’m going to comment solely on the feel of combat since IMO that’s the most ‘make or break’ factor in a PvP game. As of writing this review the game offers 4 classes, 3 melee and 1 ranged.
The ranged character uses a bow and its pretty typical of what you would expect from such a class. Mechanics like projectile drop and needing to lead on a moving target respect the physics of shooting an arrow but they’re not overly difficult as to become aggravating. You can play back and aim your shots or you can get close and spam arrows, its a good mix of skill & spray-n-pray.

First off, the Devs have worked really hard to get this game to where it is now and it shows. When I had my first few games I had expected broken mechanics or obvious inbalance of the classes. However I was pleasantly surprised that they have a very strong foundation in place.
All 3 classes play differently with their own unique style to learn and bring out the fantasy that they are known for. Easy to pick up and learn but also some depth for those who want to truly master their classes mechanics.

Armed with Wings: Rearmed
Having played the original Armed With Wings and its sequels as a kid, I was really excited when this was greenlit for Steam. I always wondered how a small 30min or so flash game would fare and what kind of final product the developers could create.
I gotta say, the final result exceeded my expectations.
SPOILERS BELOW (Though really, the original game has been out for so long that it really doesn’t matter)
The lore behind the first game and its sequels really created a lot of creative potential in expanding the idea of this game. Now that I think about, the gameplay in the original Armed With Wings was a lot less dynamic then its successors. It got to the point where I was confused at how the Lone Warrior was able to defeat Vandheer when he was so powerful in the 2nd game.

I dsicovered the armed with wings series by pure accident and I played the games since they were released on armorgames.com. I played a bit of the first one,but I wasn’t all too into it. The next game in the series I played was…blood moon I think it was called? It was a good game,but I wasn’t all too into that one either. I was able to tell they were the same game however. Next up,I played armed with wings two,following the story of vandheer lorde. It was right up my alley. The boss fights,the atmosphere,the enemies,the five main weapons of choice you could pick. (One was endgame.) However,it didn’t have it’s own soundtrack at this point if memory serves,just used other music. Didn’t really phase me however. It had been a few years and I had found the third game of the series,this one adding some new twists on the combat system,which I loved so much. You fought with not only your sword,but now with different martial arts styles. (The god styles were the most powerful of course. What would you expect?) Lastly was culmination,which was essentially armed with wings 1 with more polish I guess? I dunno,the game was confusing to me.
