Redeemer: Enhanced Edition
A really good punch-through-them-all type of game. Brutal, bloody and very straight in what it does. The story motivation is quite basic: some high-tech mercs burned your village and you have to bring that fire back to their base, right on your fists. It’s not a really thorough story, and the English version of texts ain’t exactly Shakespeare (neither does original Russian text or any other language in that game). But surely it’s not about “story” that people actually buy those games for, it’s about gameplay. And with that Redeemer is pretty. Especially for the given price. Well, maybe “pretty” ain’t a proper word, as this is all about throwing punches and kicks, bashing and squashing your enemies heads and blasting some stuff on the way…

Enter the Дракон
Redeemer is an old-school action title from a Russian developer Sobaka Studio. The player embodies persona of Vasyli - an ex-mercenary, turned a Tibetan monk on a quest for inner peace. Vasyli’s attempts at achieving equilibrium will be cut short, as the game opens with monastery getting invaded by a military force. After roughly 20 second-long hesitation Vasyli returns to his old ways. Now there will be blood, guns and very outward bouts of violence up for the player to deliver. What could possibly be a better way to apprehend a man capable of ripping somebody’s head off with his bare hands? Send in waves of poorly armed grunts, expecting them to beat their quarry into submission, because of course it is.

I did not have a history with Top-Down Shooters (also known as Twin Stick Shooters) until Hotline Miami. Since then I have started to enjoy them more, especially with Nuclear Throne. I usually saw them as cheap little games that had very little to offer, but those aforementioned games and a few others (Enter The Gungeon) have put them back on the map. However, those heavy-hitters are already so good that one might find it difficult to break some new ground. And yet, Mr. Shifty comes and seduces with a mechanic that just feels perfectly at home with this viewpoint: a “blink” or “teleport” ability, that you might know from Dishonored’s Corvo, X-Men’s Nightcrawler or a few MOBAs that borrow it from WarCraft III’s Warden hero.

## ELE RAMPAGE
Really fun and challenging mini-game using some of the Epic Games Paragon Assets I'm familiar with - the bosses in levels 2 and 3 were particularly enjoyable to navigate around.
Looking forward to what comes next

Destroy the city as a P.O'd elephant?
Didn't know I needed this,but I sure as heck did.
The games store page already sums up the gameplay quite well: 3min to score 300 points,people give 1pt while cars give 10\. Level 2 and 3 have indestructible enemies to avoid while making your carnage quota.
The game isn't overly difficult,I won with several retries in about half an hour.
Once you figure out where the cars are, it gets a lot easier.
Stomping around while people run screaming is very satisfying,although a nitpick is your hitbox,it seems to be just your feet that destroy things, while your tusks do nothing.

## Runic Rampage - Action RPG
As I always start my reviews, play the game in English and don't watch the translations. The Italian one is awful like every other one, so let's stick with English.
This one is an action RPG with good graphics - I love them, 3D and with a view from above which allows you to see enemies and everything that surrounds you, since the fights are those of a hack 'n' slash and you don't have a party, but a single dwarf XD.
Price is quite high (7€) so, get it on sale if you manage to!
The gameplay is really great and 100% joypad supported, so you have lots of combos, lots of equipment upgrades and most of all you'll never have to deal with many sidequests or paths.. it's a straightforward game with levels and bosses of increasing difficulty (never too hard, actually) and for a game like this to me it's really good!

I've put in only an hour and a half into the game, so take this review as an estimate of what you'll feel like after that amount of time:
PREMISE:
There isn't a ton of storyline to this, but there's some. You're a dwarf fighting to find your lost brothers and (I assume) become the hero your father wanted you to be. You have to conquer four Acts, each broken up into three chapters, each of which has three maps - except for the last, which contains a boss fight. You collect gold, which seems to accrue across death (ie. no gold loss upon getting squished). You also pickup single-use powerups as well as temporary bonuses from single use statues. Finally, you also get skill points, with which to level attributes (str, agility, defense and greed)

## 6 Feet Behind
Make monsters clash with each others to win. Cool arcade gameplay with horror aesthetics and 4 distinct campaign (game-modes). But sadly it's gets old fast.

## Fallen Angel
Lucifer has returned with only one thing on his mind – claim the seat from the _**old man**_. However, this will prove a daunting task. The gates to God are locked, and only the decapitated heads of the Archangels will open this lock. Time to get some payback on these self-righteous fools.
##### _**Devilishly fast action**_
The fast-paced combat, reminiscent of _**Wizard of Legend**_, is what initially drew my attention. And, I’m happy to report it passed with flying colours. Your first run should take about six hours, depending on how much you explore and how good you are at separating Archangels from their souls. One important thing I can't stress enough - ⚠️**DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT PLAY THIS WITH A MOUSE AND KEYBOARD!**⚠️

UPDATE:
As time has gone on the game has gotten more updates, and bugs are continually being fixed. If you have tried the game previously and were turned off by minor things, please give it another chance. It's a solid experience, and now at a standard price of $15, it's even more worth it.
Oh man where do I start?
tl;dr
Fallen Angel is a great game and is definitely worth your time if you're a fan of stylish-action/hack and slash style games. The combat may not be as in-depth as something like Devil May Cry, but it's still a solid experience for being from such a small team.

## Whiskey & Zombies: The Great Southern Zombie Escape
Loving this game so far. Super fun top down game, kinda like a slower and more suspenseful version of Hotline Miami. The game is fun but also super hard (almost to the point of frustrating, but I keep coming back for more). Never screamed so much playing a game I think. The zombies sneak up on you and the horde is real!!! A good combo of strategy and fighting.
100% recommended!

Fun as hell, I played it on comic con like three years ago and bought it the other day. The game is still really buggy but I know it has potential.

## Robot Warriors
This game is incredible. Had me hooked from the choose your character screen. Absolutely worth full price, incredible music and looks beautiful with the graphics on ultra. Contains hours of exciting gameplay and can be quite challenging at times but that just makes it more fun. 10/10 would recommend.

## ARENIX
Start in a small box arena, little slow-moving skulls appear and you shoot them. Guns spawn randomly and you pick them up and they quickly deplete after 10 shots or so. Try to pick up new weapon or you're helpless. Guns appear and disappear seconds later, and you move so slowly you can rarely get across the map to even pick them up before they disappear.
I'm a complete sucker for twin-stick shooters, it takes a lot for me to Thumb's Down a twin stick… But since this game is incredibly slow, unfun, RNG heavy and one-dimensional I have to say no. Nothing fun about this, needs months and months more work to be even remotely qualify as a good time waster. Not expecting AAA for this price, but at the same time you don't expect to be bored to tears within 2 minutes.

## Fisticubes - One Button Boxing!
[I've edited my review since the game brought new updates. All small edit notes are like this]
Think "Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots", but instead of robots, it's cubes who bounce around in a retro Nintendo 64-like world. It's a game with strong arcade roots - you don't have long cutscenes, no stories, you just get told how to play and jump in. It also reminds me of mini-game classics like Mario Party, a popular franchise back then which birthed many titles on the N64\. If you want quick, mindless fun, it's one of those games. If you're at home with a friend and you're bored, you can avoid a dull evening with Fisticubes.
