@Review:

In the House of Silence is a simple yet challenging Rogue-Like, with hours of content, featuring a tormenting plot of the House of Silence, the most dangerous location in The Night Land. An effort to find its dark secrets.

However, In the House of Silence, its silence feels more lonely. It is the only known video game to be inspired by Hodgson’s famed story. Hopefully, over time, we’ll see more, just like In the House of Silence.

Robo-Boy Risky Venture

Not the best, but a nice pixel platformer, with obstacles, one of which is definitely taken from the game Plants vs Zombies, which is pretty cool. Of the disadvantages, only a too fast character, which is hard to control, but you can get used to it over time. 6/10, I advise you to play if you need to kill time.

To be honest, I expected that, like all platformers, this game will have the same problems as other representatives of the genres, but fortunately, this is not the case and the game is definitely worth your attention, especially for such a paltry price :3

Unholy Alliance - Tower Defense

Very nice game. I love defense games. And I played a lot of them. The developer has worked hard to make it the best. No buy to win. Just strategies and fun. Thanks to the developer.

Obviously early days, but a promising Tower Defense - keeping me more than amused!! (Bought the game after trying the demo.)

Good Tower and Ability upgrade paths. A very good variety of enemies with different attributes - you will have to think.

Will try to update further in.

Haustoria

On the main menu screen there’s New Game, Continue (a previous game) and Bonus Area. Upon starting a new game you’ll find yourself besides a stone wall, nearby are some colourful buildings and homes. Snowcapped mountains are in the distance, with a big bright sun shining down on all below. From here you will have some information about what keyboard keys will allow you to move, jump and interact with to help you on your way.

Loved the artwork and music in the game. The puzzles were also really fun, and I enjoyed the thumbtack mechanic. Definitely recommended!

Gachimuchi Life Simulator

Honestly, I expected more from the game, I didn’t like the music and there’s little gacha in common, the world didn’t like it either, it’s kind of open but at the same time empty

Yes, sometimes I want to spend an evening playing a game dedicated to my guilty pleasure. Perhaps someday I would like to have all the gachimuchi games in my library. As for this particular one, one of the advantages is minimalistic graphics, which allows you to run the game on any computer, the presence of game achievements, and my favorite sounds from the gachi. Nevertheless, the developer still has a lot of work to do.

Davyria: Heroes of Eternity

Overall, I recommend Davyria, but I don’t think it would suit everyone. The combat is very challenging, and requires a lot of practice and many deaths to become accustomed to.

A key component of the game is the boss fights. There is 12 total boss fights and they each are extremely hard. It took me at least ten times on most fights to defeat the bosses. Much of the game’s excitement and reward revolves around these boss fights, and at times they can be frustrating. My general strategy for boss fights was to try and learn the attack patterns of each boss, and find out after which attacks he or she was left exposed. Most bosses were vulnerable after certain attacks. You should try and find a way to break down boss fights because they are the cornerstone of the game.

Updated - This game was abandoned and never really finished. It has major balancing issues. It is okay, but needlessly frustrating. It is a shame the developer gave up.

As of now, I am five hours in and trying to beat the third of 11 bosses. I am a Dark Souls junkie so I wanted to try this game out. It’s a solid isometric dark souls. Skills and equipment are simplified compared to dark souls. Killing enemies gives you XP that you spend at shrines to level up. When leveling, you can increase either strength, agility, health or stamina. When you die, you lose half of any unsaved XP and it is gone forever. By resting at a shrine you can save your XP so it isn’t lost when you die.

A retro Lovecraft themed FPS that I was really glad to see got a demo in the last Steam Next Fest - one of my favourites - and the main product is more of that eldritch goodness.

tl;dr, good game at present, can be a great game with some improvements - solid 7/10 currently. I really liked it and I’m looking forward to more.

Pros

Game controls very well. Character is fast and fluid, which suits the backpedal/strafe style required.
Gunplay is excellent, guns have good feedback and they feel effective.
Graphics are excellent. Enemy design is unique and enemy telegraphing is fairly clear. Level aesthetics are varied.
