Cloud Chasers - Journey of Hope
Cloud Chasers is a text-based adventure that incorporates survival elements, map exploration, and a flying mini-game. I think the game is pretty decent when it comes to resource management and storytelling, although the controls for the glider are a bit wonky. The goal is to get across the desert which includes 5 separate levels with randomly generated events. If one of your characters dies, you start over. However, the game is not particularly hard as I was able to beat it on the second try (in less than 1 hour on normal). Since many of the achievements are attached to unique events, it does have some replay value because you can’t get everything in one run.

At $4 this is a good game. Perma death rogue lite, FTL-lite, prequel to the excellent Airheart. However, it has very little action (passive glider flying avoiding bad buys and their bullets) to collect water aka cash.
I completed it in 4 hours and don’t really feel compelled to play again soon. There are items that are worthless except for fufilling dialogue options. There are a few basic upgrades for your glider that make the water collection mini game much easier to almost trivial when the gilder is fully upgraded.

Sublevel Zero Redux
Amazing game. Brings back fond memories of the mechanics of the Descent series (before Freespace), but with it’s own unique take on the 6DoF (6 degrees of freedom) genre. The feel of the movement and combat is just right, and the game strikes a perfect balance of high speed action and item/resource management of an roguelike rpg. The game rewards skill greatly, and encourages you to conserve your ammo and use each of the many weapon types to their maximum effectiveness. Repair kits are uncommon, and take up vital (and limited) inventory space, so crucial decisions must be made about what to keep and what to leave behind. There is also a surprisingly deep crafting element, allowing you to combine weapons, hulls, and ship components to create new ones. These items, especially weapons and hulls, can dramatically alter your playstyle.

Fantastic game.
This sounds obvious but the best thing about the game is simple feel of moving about the environments and firing the weapons. It is really well nailed, really tight and fortunately this game follows up on that by giving me a depth of reasons and excuses to keep exploring: later levels having new tougher enemies, new environmental hazards to interact with, unlocks and upgrade choices (that often adversely effect something else), a developing crafting system. There are also (and least interestingly) findable text logs that allude to the storyline. All of this feeds into giving you a strong motivation to continue that original gameplay loop that is so satisfying and forms a very tight and efficient experience -considering in 4-5 hours I’m usually not out of the tutorial in a AAA style game.

Undungeon Arena
Hello! In this masterpiece game I studied everything for about 9-10 hours! And I found 1 funny bug :)! There were more interfering bugs, but I won’t tell you about them. It’s a bug like this! I carried the worm from portal with the help of a paratrooper (he can push him, but he follows me. Into the arena. And I hide behind him from shots! Developers, I advise you to make it so that it cannot be pushed even by other NPS. Please note and fix this bug.

I’ve been waiting for Undungeon since the beginning of the year and Arena standalone was a nice discover and add to the game urge.
A nice way to spend your time and get your fighting skills ready for harsh Undungeon worlds.
I love unique art and atmosphere in this game. Devs put a lot of soul and love into it.
As someone who doesn’t really play fighting types of game, fps or rts, anything requires smashing your buttons and quick reaction, I find Undungeon fighting system pleasant, unique and innovative.

Star Shaman
Awesome soundtrack, mind blowing graphics & a few surprises along the way. Very suitable for kids.

Awesome game. Not an expert but I would say the people behind it had a real creative vision. A lot of VR games are just tech marvels without any substance. On this one there is a story (light but still there), beautiful soundtrack, really nice graphics, etc. I can’t wait to see where the updates are going to bring. One major plus : For any kind of audience, male and females, kids, etc.

Plasma Puncher
It had everything to be a great game but unfortunately CHEAPNESS destroys this game
So much annoying, bad or just unfun stuff:
-
horrible hitboxes
-
enemies spawning INSTANTLY inside you and hitting you while invulnerable
-
2 enemies spawning instantly in your surrounding and blocking your character
-
lack of sound queues (bomby spawned in the middle of a pack? guess you’re dead)
-
lack of clear mechanics (what the fuck is that ovni mini boss)
-
some enemies are just frustrating to deal with, specially those with invulnerability and the ability to damage you at the same time

XANARTHRAXIA
Overall:
Funny indie game with nice retro graphic and sound.
Game process:
-
You need to pick a glyph with similar picture that showed to you
-
There are time limit to choose the right glyph.
-
Every level time limit become smaller.
-
If you choose right glyph - you hit monsters, if not - monsters hit you.
-
Sometimes you get a level-up and boost some of your skills (HP, Attack, etc)
You can beat the game for 1 - 2 hours.
After you beat the game - you can play Hardcore mode.
That’s all!

I picked up this game because I was drawn to the art, which is terrific, and the simple gameplay. The gameplay turns out to be even simpler than I thought, but it’s strangely compelling and surprisingly addictive. Most will find it way too simple, but if you spend time with it, you appreciate the subtle intensity and challenge.
You’re simply clicking on the symbol presented above, but there’s really more to it than that. It’s not about reflexes and skill, it’s about maintaining focus. The length of your run depends on how long you can remain focused. So in that way it’s quite challenging to go for long runs. Even though it demands concentration, you kind of get into a trance-like groove with it. Again, oddly addictive.

Descenders
A great game that feels very rewarding without being a huge time sync. You can hop on for an hour or so and have a alot fun and actually make progress. The trick system play similar to the Skate series, where you use stick position and bumper combos to pull off a variety of tricks. As far as progression its rogue-like, you can only crash so many times in a run before you go back to start, although you will get cosmetic items based on points at the end of the run. There are multiple levels that you unlock, plenty of bike-parks to cut your teeth on and have fun with. Plus a very solid soundtrack to accompany you throughout the game. Worth the full price in my opinion!

If you enjoyed roguelike or extreme sports games, you will like this game. The game is just straight up fun. This is not a racing game, it’s a freeride downhill biking game. You can choose whether you played it safe or take the risk to do the crazy stunts you want to do. The developer is also constantly updating this game with new stuff like cosmetics or new bike parks or even a whole new challenges. This is really the best biking games to have ever existed.

Descend Into a Rich Underwater World
You start out on a massive orbital space station that has found its new home in the dark belly of the post-apocalyptic ocean. Manage your oxygen supply and gear durability as you search for valuable resources on the highly radioactive surface, inside treacherous dungeons, and at the bottom of bone-crushing deep-sea areas. Infested by horribly mutated bloodthirsty creatures, the salty waters are no place for a picnic.
Research Murderous Fauna
The severe radiation bursts changed scores of ocean inhabitants forever. Chemical reactions altered their bodies making them more tenacious, powerful, and aggressive. Hunt them down, research their DNA, and use it to create your own helpful pet monster.
Scavenge and Craft to Survive
To gain a tactical advantage against the hostile environment you need to explore. Scavenge the remains of long-gone civilization, craft diving gear, and medicine that will increase your overall chances to succeed. Discover deeper and further layers of the ocean to get rarer resources and craft more advanced items.
Become an Indestructible Fighting Machine
Your life entirely depends on “ichtis”, a polymeric diving suit powered by a robotic exoskeleton that is designed to sustain the perils of the deep. Modify the suit with radiation filters, additional armor plates, harpoon guns, chainsaws, other weapons, and modules. Get more experience, level up, receive access to ultimate gear, and improve your character’s stats to lead mankind to its rise.
Interact With Other Survivors
Take quests and bounties, trade, and cooperate with other players in order to overcome threats lurking in the darkness. Challenge opponents in fierce PvP battles to show your fighting superiority!
Make Yourself Heard
