Oaken
The world of Oaken is a mythical place, existing in a not easily defined space and time. It is stretched among the branches of the Great Oak. Its inhabitants are spirits which listen to the same voice, called the Oak Song.
The loss of that voice strats a series of events leading into a struggle which may either heal or destroy the Great Oak.

As a Dragon lover, i picked up this game because it would have been a nice addition to my library (or hoard, since we’re talking about Dragons).
Also the game game seemed to look nice.

NEOVERSE
At its core, Neoverse is a Slay-the-Spire-esque “roguelike” deckbuilding game where you play cards to clear combat encounters across three acts of increasing difficulty, each one capped off with a boss fight. It aggressively invites comparisons to its dark fantasy predecessor, being more similar than many others in the same narrow genre.
However, despite the fact that it saves a lot of effort by way of imitation, Neoverse is a rather different experience to play.
For one, Neoverse is more forgiving. Some negative reviews complain about the difficulty spike of the bonus boss, but while that encounter does require more care and preparation than anything else in Neoverse, it’s still nowhere near the teeth-grinding frustration that you get in many games with “Roguelike” elements that expect you to fail over and over until the RNG winds blow fair and you’re able to assemble that perfect winning combo. I’d go so far as to say that until you start pushing the harder content like higher-level Transcendent Universe runs or Challenge Mode, the game is actually pretty easy… at least if you have a good instinct, either learned from playing or transferred in from familiarity with the genre, for what to do in general. But, I would say instead that Neoverse feels much more ‘fair’ than most other members of the genre.

One of the best Spire-type games out there!
Without a doubt. If you like Slay the Spire, you’ll love this little gem!
The setting of the game puts us in a futuristic, post-apocalyptic “universe” where mankind stuck its d#ck in crazy when everything was fine and dandy as it was. As a result, humanity finds itself in QUITE the pickle with multiple realities slamming into each other like a night at the local rave club - only it’s not fun and drugs are nowhere to be found. Monsters, and God knows what else, start pouring through as dimensional shifts smash realities into each other and try to find a balance amidst the chaos. Naturally humanity was NOT ready for this level of f#cktitude, and - as could be expected - that which once WAS is now a complete, dilapidated mess.

Awaking GODSOUL
GODSOUL game concept
The love that stems from the heart, the firm ideal and dedication, will eventually turn into strength,
Link people who resonate, awaken the power of “God Soul”, defeat evil, and move towards freedom…
From now on, I will never be dictated by others
Type: Mythical Beast Girl x Campus Legends, Card Game + RPG Development
Background story
In a fictional city “Dream City”, the near future with advanced network technology.
People’s free time is constantly being taken away.
In the school, uniformly compulsory fees for supplementary lessons have been continuously extended for students to stay in school.
Moreover, advanced technology is abandoned, and unspoken rules are implemented to implement old systems such as “meal tickets”.
In enterprises, young employees have been forced to work overtime intensively for a long time, “voluntarily” killing their youth
During the break, people’s thoughts are also controlled by mysterious forces…
Most young people are enveloped by confusion, evasion, submission, and drifting with the flow…
The few people who firmly believe in themselves have been reluctant to be ordinary since they were young.
Even if they are rejected by others, they still fight for their ideals and people’s freedom.
They are “rebels” who are different from ordinary people. They will connect with your soul and compose the myth of rebellion.
Reality + Different Space Dual World:
Developed network technology, the real world of mild cyberpunk
People’s perception of thoughts, resonance, fantasy, and other worlds,
There are all kinds of “souls” and “devils” in different air.

Can’t give this one a good review, sadly. The bits and pieces seem nice, but it doesn’t make for a fun gaming experience.
The art and music is perhaps the best aspect of the game, the controls work fine as well.
That said the game feels very under-documented, and the games do not seem very fun or balanced, I win every time without even knowing what I am doing.
Perhaps the biggest weakness is that you cannot gain experience points except in multiplayer, and I have never been able to find anyone else to play it with.

From developers
I am an indie game developer and this is my first time to make game.
I want to make a game I’d like to play, after all I am the first player.
I wish it has beautiful characters which you could enjoy,
I wish I am not only an outsider of history, I build story through each option.
Arcanium: Rise of Akhan
I’ve only played a few runs so far, but this is already my favorite roguelike deckbuilder of all time. It’s the first one I’ve played where you actually, crucially, get to build your deck. Let me explain.
You know how in most of these games, your deck consists of literally every single card you pick up throughout each run, causing the driving force to become finding ways to remove cards from your deck, lest it become a bloated mess with zero synergy? And once you realize that, you’ll usually pass on cool or interesting cards unless they fit 100% seamlessly into your current strategy? Does it ever start to feel a little disappointing when it seems like your entire deck plan for a run is determined by the first few cards you get, because of those design choices? Enter Arcanium.

–This is a really good deckbuilding roguelike game.
–They are testing MAJOR rebalancing and mechanics changes. The early game feels prohibitively difficult now, even on easier difficulties. I’m not a fan of the recent stuff. Many, if not most, characters feel helpless early. It feels like players have fewer viable options than they used to. (PS: With major changes, some of this review might be out of date, sorry).
–The max deck size of 12 cards feels too restrictive. Your deck composition doesn’t change much over time. Of the 36 cards you’ll end the game with, 12-18 will be starter cards. Maybe reduce the size of the opening decks?

ARTHA
the game doesnt even work!
– Real player with 7.9 hrs in game
** Not sure what language this was made in, but do not buy if you plan to play in English**
No worthwhile tutorial, very very poor translation means card mechanics are a complete mystery with cards acting in bizarre fashion.. sometimes doing one thing, sometimes not doing anything at all. The performance is also pretty bad. I can’t really figure out any mechanics that work properly.
A shame because there is a lack of non-p2w card games out there.

Card Hog
10/10: Highly recommend
Playing this game from the very first day of release I can say this game has a huge potential.
Buggs are fixed within few hours and new content is added nearly every day.
Even though game mechanics are simple as you spend more time playing you can master these mechanics and find your own way playing this game.
Based on your skills one run can take from few minutes up to hour and more.
For now, you can play few modes:
Endless Dungeon Crawl - 3x3, 4x3, 4x4
– Real player with 17.9 hrs in game
This is a great game when you just want to play something for 15 minutes. This is a card game but not one where you have a deck of your own and play cards on a field. Instead there is a grid of cards randomly chosen from enemies, weapons, healing potions, and more, and YOU are one of the cards! You move around the grid up, down, left, right by clicking on the card next to you that you want to go to. If there is an enemy there you’d better have a weapon otherwise you take damage equal to the enemies HP. Your HP is 10 and you need to be careful not to take too much damage because healing potion cards do not always show up when you need them. If your HP goes to zero, you die. Other helpful cards are shrines that make every enemy on the board poisoned or on fire for a few turns. There are also spikes to watch out for. They go up on one turn then down on the next. You can walk over them when they are down (it looks like ground with a bunch of holes in it) and that neutralizes that threat. Some enemies move and follow you as you take your turn but most stay where they are so you can maneuver around them, grab a weapon, collect coins and then come back to kill them. But each move you make creates a space for a new card to appear and it could be an enemy, a weapon, spikes, healing potion, or just flat empty ground.

Hadean Tactics
Incredible replayability and there are so many tactics you can come up with :D
– Real player with 222.2 hrs in game
Hadean Tactics came out at the perfect time as the logical conclusion of the recently prolific autobattler and the currently “in-renaissance” roguelike genre, marrying the two genres with such fluidity and cohesion that it really makes you wonder why we dont have more games like this
If you enjoy any of the two genres and had little to no exposure to the other, this game is a great ease in, and if you are like me, and played almost every autobattler and roguelike available, its great fun time
The game follows the traditional roguelike structure, save from the initial card unlocks, there are no permanent powerups that are carried through the runs.(save for your knowledge)
