Blessed Surface

I sincerely believe this to be a great game, and both it and the developer show a lot of potential. From the pleasant music that I can happily have in the background for hours at a time, to the wonderful pixel art of the characters, creatures and environments, to the sublime atmosphere that they all culminate in, I enjoy it all to an extent that I really did not expect. This is an absolute gem among similar Steam games, and the diligence of the developer is admirable.

With the Exchange update, the game is in better shape than it’s ever been; each update from the Overhaul until now has been better than the last, continually enhancing the game and polishing it as much as possible. Combat is fast, smooth, and responsive (just turn directional attacks on,) and due to the unique weapons compiled with the corpse and heart systems, has a level of depth that is simply staggering.

DO NOT BE DECIEVED. THIS GAME HAS EXTREME POTENTIAL WITH ITS DESIGN DECISIONS, EXPLORATION, SECRETS AND LORE CAPABILITIES AND COMBAT.

When you first open this game up it will appear clunky and dislikable. A feeling of powerlesness will come upon you as you’re not even capable of getting past the first tutorial step.

Then slowly but surely you begin to understand movement, controls, physics, mechanics, weapons, armors, abilities, everything. The learning curve is slightly steep but very very rewarding.

Infernal Radiation

Infernal Radiation

This game is really something else.The gameplay is conceptually different from anything i’ve ever seen,it is a form of rhytmic bullet hell where you get to attack and defend and must choose wisely everytime before you make a move.The enemy variety is pretty wide and the game also benefits from an intriguing story that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

The current length of the game is somewhere between 3-4 hours and it has a lot of replayability value.I enjoyed it greatly and the price is fairly cheap.

At the time of review I have 5.7 hours on record. This is a difficult rhythm game with RPG elements, where the character progresses between demon encounters and, in order to defeat each demon, has to learn the rhythm of the attacks.

There are NPCs which offer opportunities to level up and purchase items to improve the character’s attributes. Items involving slowing the demon’s attacks are quite useful!

The graphics are effective in reflecting the demon-infested island and the darkness wrought upon it. I particularly like the comic-style text boxes which impart much of the story. The NPC and demon encounters are well-scripted and humorous.

ExSpire

ExSpire

ExSpire is a bullet hell dungeon crawler where time is a currency. Explore what makes you tick, manage your seconds, and climb The Spire to undercover its secrets. Create an adventurer, roll your stats, and fight your way up by surviving the tests and challenges trapped within levels of this dangerous tower.

The Spire: A fresh and new experience every time. Explore vast dungeons full of challenging encounters, dilemmas, and situations designed to pressure you to use your time efficiently. Every level is procedurally generated and designed to gradually increase in difficulty and react depending on how much time you spend. Despite the rewards that await, every adventurer inevitably falls to The Spire. Will you be able to climb to the top?

Time As A Currency: Everything from the items you buy, people you meet, the doors you open, and even the time you use deciding just how to spend your time, all bring you closer to your doom. Killing the enemies that inhabit The Spire will surrender their seconds to you, allowing you to continue your climb. As hard as you might try, eventually the timer will hit zero, how long can you survive?

Bosses, Enemies, Items, Encounters: Choosing what you do with your time is just as important as how much you spend. Throughout The Spire, you’ll encounter challenging enemies, interesting items, and moral encounters, all of which will tax your precious seconds. Only those who choose well and quickly can survive, and eventually challenge the bosses inhabiting The Spire.

Beautiful, driving, originally produced OST: The entire soundtrack is produced by talented EDM producers in Seattle. Listen to powerful electronic music to accompany you on your climb of The Spire.

Airstrife: Assault of the Aviators

Airstrife: Assault of the Aviators

Nice game with a beautiful hand-drawn world. In Airstrife: Assault of the Aviators, I loved the ability to create and upgrade planes, and the fact that the game can be played with friends. I advise everyone! 10/10

Real player with 4.5 hrs in game

Assault of the Aviators - a game in the old genre. I haven’t played such games for a long time. Previously, such games did not have a co-op mode, which got bored very quickly. Now I saw this game in the recommendations and decided to play it with my friend. We played all evening and none of us got bored. The game has a choice of planes and branches for pumping weapons. Nice drawing of models and good music ^-^

One Pixel TWB

One Pixel TWB

2D platform game with minimalist graphics in Pixel art, your goal is to climb the castle while defeating various bosses that try to prevent your passage. With each floor you pass the game will present you with increasingly difficult bosses to defeat, add this to dialogs that portray the history of this universe and an extremely difficult difficulty for the vast majority of people.

To defeat these bosses you have the following abilities:

  • Create Platforms Underneath You.

  • Shoot.

  • Dash.

  • Jump and Duck

  • 2d Movement.

The graphics of the game has a focus mostly on the colors black, white, grayscale and red, in some parts of the game other colors may appear but are almost null.

During the game you follow the point of view of the White Pixel who is having his city attacked, you as a good emperor must stop the enemy and if you have a thirst for knowledge can try to find out what caused all this chaos.

One Pixel The War Begins is our second game presenting this very interesting universe of Pixels, unlike its older brother this game has a much wider variety of Phases, mechanics, Enhancements, Characters and more.

Also the soundtrack of the game is absolutely original of us.

Solbane

Solbane

Solbane is a boss-rush space shooter that blends the retro arcade experience with modern RPG elements, preserving the arcade gameplay feel with upgraded modern visuals.

Journey throughout the solar system in a story-driven setting to eliminate 18 bosses, each with its own complex mechanics that will regularly demand a change of play style.

Evolve your spacecraft and gameplay from a vast arsenal of 96 abilities and three pilots, each with their own unique solutions to deal with the threats of the Solar system.

  • Play as the Aggressor, Valkyrie, or Architect through a threatened system and bring an end to the solar destruction.

  • Make your own ability build which is designed to heavily alter your playstyle depending on the abilities you’ll choose.

  • Every boss is vastly different from one another, having different strengths and weaknesses, which will require you to adapt through trial and error.

Build example #1:

When playing as the Aggressor you can customize a melee-based build which involves getting very close and personal with the adversary. This class has a giant hammer attached on its front that can be rotated around the ship, making a devastating whirlwind. Coupled with other short-ranged abilities, it embraces a high risk high reward gameplay.

Build example #2:

The Architect can have a rapid-fire playstyle by utilizing as many drones as possible. These drones are mini versions of the Architect and the more they can be generated, the more projectiles will be launched at your enemy. Strength in numbers is what this build is all about.

this game is the best thing to happen to me. it incorporates the difficulties we face in our daily lives, like the boss spamming fiery death 4 times in a row. it teaches us a valuable lesson in sacrifice and brotherhood. the game itself is poorly made, but that doesnot stop the mastermind behind it to convey a gruesome and unforgiving world he definetitely had in mind. in conclusion 10/10 basically dark souls.

I mean, it’s free, but I kinda still want a refund.

I like the art style, and that’s pretty much it.

Level desing is horrible. Movement feels really clunky. Also, your character will keep clipping in platform edges all the time, the collision check really should be improved.

I love difficult platformers… but my god this is the most annoying kind of difficulty. I have never seen one game overuse timed blocks to this extent. I wouldn’t mind if the background music matched up with the blocks, but it doesn’t. Having to keep the correct rhythm going in my head for over half the playtime is just tedious.
