Actraiser Renaissance
First of all, this is a QUINTET remaster. The mere fact that this game exists is a tremendous blessing for a certain cult fanbase.
The obvious bias aside, is the game good?
Short answer: Yes. Long answer: IT COULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH MORE
It’s obvious that a lot of faithful effort was put into remastering this game. From including Yuzo Koshiro’s amazing soundtrack and accompaniment to the astounding artwork given to the many characters, menus and intro cutscene. People put their sweat and tears into this, and it shows in that regard.

A great example on how to make a remake. Renaissance does an excellent job of bring the original SNES games action and town sim into a modern era with new graphics, classic and remixed soundtrack, and expanded story that makes you feel more immersed in what was a somewhat bare-bones world before.
The new artwork is great and the story telling is actually quite deep. Everything reads like a positive psalm with the writing really showing some great character development and overall storytelling. Which is good as all the new characters do little gameplay wise. The story is the only way you will interact and learn about the characters and their backstories.

Kingdom: Classic
This game is simple, but addicting. I wasn’t sure it will last me for more than few hours, and I usually don’t approach games thinking that I’ll stay up all night playing, but I got lucky here. This game is all about management and choices. It’ll start innocent, but quickly becomes pure evil the more you hold on.
Gameplay
You control most of the things indirectly. You’ll start small, and you’ll make a lot of mistakes while trying to get bigger. I can’t promise you that you’ll get hooked the same way I did, but after having few tries on my own, I’ve started seeing the game differently. It is based around trying it over and over, and I didn’t get sick of it. Despite what I’ve heard, every part, even the beginning, becomes an endurance run. Since you have to control everything, you can’t stop.

So, after over 40 hours spent playing the game I felt it’s time to finally write a review.
First of all, I really enjoy this game tremendously, but I’d say it’s not for everyone. If you read other reviews, you probably have a good idea what the good part of the game is, nice art, awesome soundtrack (first time I ever bought a game OST, and not regretting it one bit). These are the two things I think everyone can agree about.
Then it gets more tricky. The gameplay isn’t for everyone. It’s literally discover everything for yourself. including how your own guys behave, even how your own horse behaves.

Regions Of Ruin
tldr: a fun unique game that brings back memories of Kingdom combined with a skill based open world RPG. Enough available content alrady in the Early Access version, lots of unique areas to visit, enemies to fight, quests to do, loot and resources to collect in order to gear up fight bosses, level up and unlock more skills to complete quests and build your dwarven kingdom.
If Kingdom and Elder Scrolls had a baby, that would be called Regions of Ruin. RoR is hevily inspired by Kingdom but it’s a completely different game at the same time, it’s a side-scrolling RPG where you explore, fight, level up, and build your town. The world has a ton of unique areas, quests, loot and resources waiting for you. You will die a lot or you can change the difficulty if you are not into fighting signigicantly better than you enemies, you can visit and complete each area in the order you chose and you can recruit mercenaries to assist you in combat and workers to farm resources for you.

Overview
Regions of Ruin is good game that combines many different video game genres. This game includes: platforming, RPG elements, real-time battles, city-building, horde survival, and puzzles. Unlike other games that have attempted this kind of hybrid, this game succeeds in creating a great balance between every element. Every system plays into each other, though there are a few flaws with some systems. Sounds is enjoyable and satisfying. The graphics are pixel are and look a bit basic, but it works as intended. Everything is easy to discern from one another graphically. The story is quite interesting, but if story isn’t the player’s favorite element, they can skip most dialogue and story with ease.

Regions of Ruin 2
Enter a vibrant open world as a Dwarven hero to take on the task of reclaiming forgotten lands and ruins. Conquer the over-world of its rich resources and delve into the depths to uncover the secrets behind your ancient past.
In this sequel you’ll find a vast improvement to the landscapes and ambience of the game’s environments as well as a more versatile combat and skills system. Regions of Ruin offers a unique side scroller experience in that you have the freedom to roam an open world similar to Elder Scrolls' classics Oblivion or Skyrim. Explore, loot and discover hundreds of unique areas and quests at your pace.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising
Eiyuden Chronicle Rising is a town-building action RPG set in the same world as Eiyuden Chronicle. It weaves together the pre-war tales of various characters who will eventually become your companions in Eiyuden Chronicle.
The game will introduce a portion of Eiyuden Chronicle’s cast of characters in an original story with thrilling action and engaging town-building elements.
There might even be some small perks for players that link the game with Eiyuden Chronicle.
Craft The World
I had my fair share of fun in Craft the World, only matched by infuriating frustration it never failed to induce.
Dwarves are beyond dumb. They run from fights they would win and they stand their ground when they should flee. When equipped with ranged weapons they tend to get in close then run away in direction the enemy is coming from ending up in the middle of a horde of hostiles, then obviously being unable to get to safety without your intervention (open a portal if you have mana or take control of them, go through the enemies and hope for the best). This also occurs to melee characters as they flee.

This video pick might seem strange since it’s episode 18, however I felt that it would give you a good idea of what the game is like. If you enjoy exploring a new game for yourself, then you perhaps don’t want to watch it!

Ratropolis
Call me a dues-paying member of ‘The Cult of the New’ when it comes to genre mash-ups like this. I can’t get enough of them. When Slay the Spire came out and combined roguelites and deck-builders I was hooked for 100+ hours and even back in my pre-COVID table-top gathering days, deckbuilders (Dominion/Thunderstone) were my favorite. The combination of control and RNG is so delicious and it’s exciting to see all of the ways developers are using this in either quality design or just experimenting with a gimmick.

A very tentative recommendation. In terms of my play-time, I’ve completed most content (including wave 120), so I feel I’ve enough experience with the game to give a moderately informed review.
In a nutshell, this game is a very polished game that reminds me of my days playing free games in the heyday of flash. Take a Newgrounds defense game and add a massive layer of professionalism and that’s this game. You play a defense game where your units, economy, and development are linked to a deck built throughout a session. It is hard. You will lose a lot. But there will be an “ah-hah!” moment where you understand what the game wants from you and suddenly it will be rare to lose.

Very easy to binge this unless you get stuck on a level. I personally think it’s the perfect difficulty; you can breeze through some of the levels, and some may take you a little longer, but overall I wouldn’t say this game will make you want to rip your hair out of frustration.
Doesn’t really require too much thinking as I find myself repeating the same actions over and over again. I kind of just click stuff and watch the animations unfold, but it’s very satisfying when I complete a level. You can play it mindlessly or you can choose not to – it’s pleasant either way, especially with the music.
