Ironlights
sadly, there are too many issues with this game to recommend it.
the concept is alright, though i do think the weapons shattering while you’re blocking kinda defeats the entire point of blocking with a weapon
and even then, you’ll have some good games, you’ll meet a knight who swings properly, and damn near cuts you in half with his projectiles, a duelist who deftly parries and thrusts, a crusader who is close unpredictable with his master over the ball and chain, or a reaper like me, who blocks and seeks openings in your guard, forcing you to adapt quickly.

Ironlights is actually a pretty awesome game. For those who have looked up the steamcharts and fear the game is dead. Most of the players are on oculus and there’s crossplay. So those numbers can be misleading.
The game is probably the closest I’ve gotten to actual fencing in a vr game (It’s not super close, but it’s better than the other sword games I’ve tried). The game prevents the wiggle wand style of sword fighting which is awesome. The singleplayer ai is fairly competent as well, so there’s a lot of fun in that. There’s also a seemingly great community here as well.

Dredgers
This is tough, because I love this game and it’s concept. It’s so fun! I have a lot of praise for it.
Unfortunately, I feel like I can’t recommend it at this time for two reasons:
-
Missing basics like any type of saving, which pretty much everything I’ve played since the days of shareware has had, seems quite sloppy. The display of the amount of hours I’ve played isn’t really correct: most of that has been on pause because I didn’t want to exit and lose all my progress on the run.
-
Do you know how my last run ended? No? Neither do I. Based on all the information I had, it didn’t make sense. Many key things are just not explained, so new players are going to go through several baptisms by fire, creating a lot of frustration.

Pretty solid roguelike with emphasis on speedy playthroughs and choosing your next step, though that can be its weakness too. Its big selling points are the 30+ races and crazy class combinations which are very very satisfying to play with, as well as actual honest-to-god necromancy where you can have a zombie horde if you want. Or you could skip zombies altogether, dominate the minds of your enemies, send them at your foes, blow up their (animate or inanimate) corpses into a huge mess when they die and then revive them and your former foes as skeletons. Full crafter build is viable, and thats before we get onto races. Pretty much anything that spawns in the dungeon is something you can unlock and play pretty quickly. Only exception afaik is the slime MAN (you can be a regular slime) but I suspect that’ll be implemented in time.

Infinite Dungeon Crawler
This “review” summarises my early impressions after having played this game for about 6 or 7 hours. I may update it when I learn something worth adding or changing.
Edit: Having played more than 30 hours, I find the game more interesting than before. I’ve updated my review, but decided to put the update in a forum post.
My original review:
In a nutshell: I recommend this game wholeheartedly to all players who are willing to adjust to somewhat unusual game mechanics and to cope with sometimes lengthy turn-based fights. And I recommend to try the free-to-play version first. Go through a few fights, and then make up your mind. Be prepared for some initial frustration, because fights can be lengthy, with both you and your opponent missing most of the time. You may decide that this is too boring and not worth your time. But you may also take it as a motivation to find out why there are so many misses and what you can do to hit more often - which is not so difficult once you understand the game mechanics and rules better. You can experiment (the fighting log tells you exactly what is going on), or you can read the great guide which you can access via the Steam Guides section of the game. There is also an interactive tutorial, which focusses mainly on the fighting system, but may be a bit too abstract to be used for your very first fight(s). It may be better to start playing without the tutorial, and to play it after your first, say, two or three fights, or in conjunction with reading the guide.

Bloody Efforts
Imagine your own mighty Heroes and make them REAL in Bloody Efforts.
Story:
_There were two Ancient Gods - Known and his older brother Unknown. The elder God created a whole world with mighty Elements and the younger one gave this world a life with all forms we know. Unfortunately, there was a conflict between the brothers, which turned into the battle. Clash of the Gods disturbed the world balance and brought many cataclysms upon all the races. The Elements began to fight each other and what is worse, a new ominous being appeared – the Hollow.
Until then, only a fraction of humanity managed to survive. Probably everyone would have been dead a long time ago, but something unexpected happened to the races. A new kind of people appeared, called Apostles. They are significantly different – stronger, faster, but the most remarkable is their ability to subdue power of the Elements. Some of the Apostles fight to restore order and peace once again. Others cooperate in achieving common goals. There are individuals who want to find remnants of the Gods or even get along with the Hollow, devoting their souls in exchange for new horrific powers. And who will you choose to be?_

Switch Fighters during the Game
Player needs to strategically choose their Band of 6 Apostles before the Match. Apostles are not equally matched and fit various roles (Warriors, Shooters, Tanks, Mages, Supporters, Assassins etc.). They get serious advantages or suffer disadvantages in different battle scenarios.
Killing is not everything (MOBA-like)
3-phased Modes with various Objectives make an opportunity to think tactically about the next move. Defending the base, setting the trap or outsmarting in Apostle choices can be the key to victory.
Chivalry: Medieval Warfare
Chivalry…where do I start?
When I first heard about the game in late 2012, I knew I’d be hooked. Unfortunately, my computer couldn’t run it at the time. Flash forward to when I had a new computer come May/June of 2013, and I was having the time of my life! Foolhardy, yet visceral combat, amazing voiceovers, and the most in-depth melee combat I had ever seen at the time…it was remarkable. The combat was very in-depth, yet nobody was quite above anyone else at the time. Timing and footing was everything. My goal as a player at the time was to reach level twenty, and unlock all veteran helmets for each of the four classes. (Keep in mind that there was zero customization at this point in time, apart from switching from default to veteran helmets, which didn’t work half of the time)

After all these years, reaching level 54, I cannot recommend the game. I have 500+ hours on this, and all I can think of is remembering the good times. I hate this game so much because I used to love it to the point it became my most played game for almost one year. I’m gonna tell you why you should avoid this game that has become deteriorated over time (and has become less valuable than it was at release):
The good times, that was when this game didn’t have regular crashes (it had none in fact). Now it crashes EVERY FIRST TIME you join the game, you Alt+F4 and then you have to again load the game. THEN it’s very likely the server you wanted to join is full. You have to wait. Then it’s possible that it crashes at the character screen etc… It’s also possible to simply crash mid-game. I once had over 16 crashes while waiting for the server list to load. This never happened at the start.

Grand Class Melee 2
This is one of the best local multiplayer games that I have ever played- period. I played the first Grand Class Melee on my friend’s Xbox 360, and had such a great time, because there is so much freedom in your character, and in countering the other characters- and that means that every game is unique in how you have to play. It means that gameplay can be incredibly meta and powerful, or cheap and gimmicky. This game is very similar to the first, but almost exclusively an improvement over the original. The lack of split screen games on the market makes this game a real treat to play, and is an excuse to get friends to be together. If there are any negatives to me, they’re the lack of online, and the strength of the homing projectiles. The online is admittedly a not crucial, but the fact that these projectiles, which usually only move in 4 directions, are able to move any which way for a nearly unlimited time, it just too strong to not pick if you play to win. But overall the game is great, and I won’t stop playing it for a long time.

I don’t want to be cruel with the developers and say that you shouldn’t even try this game. But well… you probably shouldn’t.
Even thought you can see what they tried to do, an arena fighter with different characters and abilities, in the end it is not satisfactory. It is kinda confusing to understand what is going on, since the UI is so simple that doesn’t even explain things to you. The combats are VERY unbalanced and the game is not fluid. Not to say that the AI is just unbeatable (you’ll only win by the unbalance factor).

Setting Sun
Setting Sun is an Co-op Rogue-lite Dungeon Crawler.
It’s set in a universe during the Japanese Edo period where Yokai roam the world freely.
The land is in turmoil because the Shogun rules with an iron fist.
A couple of wanderers answer the call to help mankind and fight the source of the corruption together.
THE SHOGUN’S DOMAIN
Traverse through a randomly generated room-based dungeon covering multiple zones on your way to the castle.
Several different types of rooms can be discovered on your way to the boss like enemy rooms, healing rooms, gamble rooms,…
THE SHINTO PANTHEON WATCHES OVER YOU
You have a chance to discover Dragon Shrines in the dungeon which will allow you to alter your abilities for that dungeon run.
So each time you start a new dungeon run you can try out a different build.
REBUILD THE VILLAGE
Aside from the dungeon the game also contains a village.
The village is like a sanctuary for the player where he can roam around before and after dungeon runs, talk to NPCs, buy upgrades, craft gear and more!
When you first start the game, the town is pretty abandoned.
But along your travels in the dungeon, you have a chance to find new characters to recruit to your town which unlocks new features.
For example finding Masamune on your travels will unlock the blacksmith in town and will allow you to craft new gear with better stats.
THE WANDERER
Multiple classes are planned but the first playable class in Setting Sun is the Ronin.
A Ronin was a Samurai without a master. An expert in the art of sword fighting but one who chose not to honor the code of the Warrior and thus considered “on his own” or a vagrant.
MAIN FEATURES
-
Slice your way through a procedurally generated dungeon
-
Master a skill-based fighting system
-
Learn the ways of the Ronin class (and several other classes planned)
-
Fight the Shogun’s army, thiefs, Yakuza and even Yokai
-
Try out different builds each run by discovering new blessings
-
Play the game solo or couch co-op
-
Recruit new allies and bring life back to the village
-
Unlock new buildings and features in town
-
Find new patterns to craft different gear sets or cook new Sushi dishes
-
Enjoy a unique trapanese soundtrack
-
Take a relaxing bath in the hot springs

Nasty Rogue
Hello game dev!
You’ve made a pretty fun game, honestly I would recommend it, though right now I feel maybe the price is a bit too high for what you get, though achievement hunting and trying all 3 classes definitely pads the play time a bit.
With that said though, your Hardcore Achievement seems to be bugged right now, I heard from someone it only works on slot one? I made my first character on slot one, normal difficulty, and made my second, a rogue, on the second slot hardcore mode, got to the very end and no achievement?

I think this game has a huge future!
I saw the game on one stream, decided to download a pirate and watch the game, after playing 6 hours passed completely, then decided to go to steam and see if the game is developing and was very pleasantly surprised to learn that it’s just an alpha!As a result, I bought the game in steam, and re-passed on the expert at 100%
and I’m going to re-try the game on hardcore after adding a character slot!
Pluses:
1 nice voxel graphics
2 good sound
3 interesting but still unfinished combat system (Dark souls + Trove)
