Rise of Humanity: Prologue
I recommend this to fans of turn based games who are cool with card based attacks. This is basically a free demo of the full version of Rise of Humanity, and it accomplished its goal of getting me interested in the full game which I have now wishlisted.
Here is what you need to know:
+High quality graphics detail, great antialiasing, as well as decent music and sound effects, but as for graphic performance…
-Ultra graphics setting @ 1440p on my RTX 3080 maxes out the GPU with an average of ~90 FPS? Its not like I can zoom out wide, so I was hoping for something a bit closer to my 165 Hz refresh rate.

Changed the audio settings aaaand… it’s gone. Completely. Reinstall did not help. I’ll probably try it later, with version 1.x. Unplayable atm.
=========
upd.: the bug was fixed fast enough, devs are surprisingly interested in feedbacks, and gameplay, nevertheless still being buggy, is promising.
I’d like to see less pointless actions in battles, like move to the shoot distance - use card - click on the single enemy instead of use the card on the enemy on click. Or drag card on yourself if this is the only option to use it - on yourself. Also planing a chain would be better imho then use cards one by one.

Atomic Cards
Some of the reviews for this game are allegedly fake. I am here to provide an honest review from a layperson who enjoys card games, roguelites, and roguelikes. This game is decent; however, I will hesitantly give it a thumbs down because of the lack of options. Be aware of the following… Firstly, this game needs a seizure warning; some random events cause the screen to flash in all sorts of colors. There is a lot of needless clicking; you will be clicking boxes or crates several times, providing either food, medicine, or ammo. There are no volume controls or any options, honestly. This is likely due to the engine used to create the game, which the developer mentioned in the community forum. (https://steamcommunity.com/app/1701140/discussions/0/2954915322322930678/ )

The game in its genre (card RPG game), in my opinion, is very good. There are many different characters, constant events and complex moral choices that will definitely not let you get bored.

Infinite Way
| Click here to read my full Review of Infinite Way! |
Infinite Way is a deck-building roguelike in a post-apocalyptic world.
At the moment, there is no story and no quests. All you do is travel on a world map ‘til you get in a battle or find a camp.
In a camp, you can heal for water which you get after every battle. There is nothing else to do right now.
The battles are turn-based. Balance-wise it’s not in a great spot right now. The “block” cards get your armor up. They are good in the beginning but totally out of balance when you get deeper into your adventure.

Rise of Humanity
Super fun game for X Com and Deck Building fans. Seems difficult at first, till you learn the amazing combo’s you can make (just make sure you don’t damage your team mates … too much !)
It’s still early access so there’s only 6 story missions yet, but there are side missions up for grabs!
Daily challenges are also a hoot, Hoping to see some real battles for the top of the leader board!

An interesting twist on XCOM2…
XCOM2 but with cards, is how this game can best be described. Now, this game doesn’t have the budget behind it that XCOM2 had, which almost automatically means that it’s going into a gun-fight with XCOM2 but this game is armed with a pistol and XCOM2 has a hellfire missile launcher… not very fair, but that’s the fight that the devs have chosen to engage in, and good luck to them… they’re gonna need it.
Pros: #1. Very good graphics (I’d say it’s almost as good as XCOM2)

Cards of the Dead - Prologue
+1 🆓
– Real player with 2.5 hrs in game
Simple Roguelike with inventory management as main focus. Similar to Dungelot. Great to pick up and play. Very easy (I’m casual player).
I could possibly unlock two additional characters (with different environments?). Problem is, I don’t find a way to save my progress.
Still, very nice prologue.

DIMENSION REIGN - ROGUELIKE DECKBUILDER
The game feels a bit especially on the boss as :
-
The boss has a large amount of hp - it is hard to combo break stun the boss.
-
The boss can one-hit kill your heroes.
-
With 1 & 2, it is hard to defeat the boss without taking any damage.
Hence you need higher weapons to defeat the boss
Minor user interface improvement would be great:
- When level up the hero the numbers should be in this order x/y where
x is the total number of orbs collected
y is the required orbs to level up

DIMENSION REIGN is a story about Karen and her brother Edge The Shadowhog who, so dissatisfied with the customer service at their local Stop N Shop, decide to go on a rampage arguing their way up through the chain of command: From disgruntled employees just trying to calm them down, to dozens and dozens of managers, to security officers trying to politely get them to leave, all the way up to the CEO of the company so that their many dozens of nonsensical, self-centered, and outright bizarre complaints can be heard.

Zombie Strike
honestly i have only played 3hrs and that was from first login. i will be continuing as i have no reasons yet not to. consequently, this review is subject to change
the incredibly naive will quote this as a pay-to-win game, which is utter nonsense. only game i ever played (in 40 years of gaming) that falls into THAT category is zynga’s poker game which you could win actual money playing…….. as long as you were an american living in america. you can pay but you don’t win anything.
this game does NOT target your wallet……..that’s just cheap. no, this game is SO overly priced it targets your savings account :D

废土黄昏 Dusk of the wasteland age
#### What kind of game is this?
This is a zombie simulation of the end of the environment to survive the game.
The background of the game is one year after the zombie outbreak.
Players will play three different roles, searching for supplies in an abandoned hospital building to survive.
Each character has its own strengths and weaknesses, which will affect their chances of survival.
The materials in the game are displayed in the form of cards, which are mainly divided into weapons and consumables.
When fighting, random moves will be generated according to the characteristics of weapons to deal with the enemy. Weapons are durable, remember to maximize the use of weapons unique moves to win.
Players will lose their health, physical strength and spirit after fighting, moving and strengthening the room for rest.
After fighting in an empty room, remember to supplement your own state, otherwise the depressed state will bring serious negative buffs.
Finally, in addition to zombies, there may be a small number of survivors in abandoned hospitals.
They will be your companions or… Powerful and terrible enemies.
**(developer’s Note 1: because the game mechanism is slightly complicated, I hope you can open the second column of the main menu interface “survivor log” before playing, in which you will record the detailed game playing methods.)
(developer’s Note 2: This is the first game developed by the author. We plan to upgrade this game to a multiplayer game in the future. Please include the existing shortcomings. We will continue to polish the game according to the comments and suggestions in the future.)
(developer note 3: game communication QQ group: 171849189)
(developer note 4: the game will be unpacked and remade on the day of release, and it is expected to be completed within 2 to 3 months. The playing method will be greatly changed. If you like the current version, after the new version goes online, you can send me a private message in QQ group or email to get the original version. Suggestions and requirements for the new version are also welcome.)**
Ancient Enemy
No other words can describe this game other than amazing.
I already adore solitaire, and this game’s take on it showed me a perspective of which I thought I’d never see. In fact, I feel the trailer doesn’t do the game justice, because while it looks like a slow and boring game of solitaire, it actually is a game filled with bits of satisfaction when you get a great hand and are able to do half the enemy’s health in a single hit. I also love how they managed to create a build system, that while not complex and mostly interchangeable, does allow certain styles of play. For example, mine started as careful defense followed by a counterattack in the right moment, but evolved into creating enormous combos and decimating each enemy before they could even touch me. For example, I beat the final boss without taking a single hit. Spells are overpowered only if you play your cards right (pun intended), and enemies remain a threat while still being bearable and enjoyable. The difficulty scaling is very slow and steady, so none of the fights I faced felt like complete BS, while still being challenging victories (mainly in the pursuit of more stars). As of this review, I beat Relaxed mode in 10 hours.

I beat the game and now i can make a full review of it.
The game is ok, with a good progression (maybe in the end you become too powerful) and
and an easy difficulty. Basically combining the cards in increasing or decreasing value and following the colors you build combos for more powerful moves and defenses.
There are also consumable items that honestly, of all that I had, I used only bombs and life potions and I was very good with it. There are also cards with extra powers that influence the combat cards and equipment cards, that like the consumables, there are only 4 or 5 that really have an interesting advantage, the rest is rubbish.
