Wasteland 3
This is a fun, mildly complicated party-based, turn-based game full of various strategies & tactics, with a large focus on combat tactics. You can play on hard-core mode & min-max everything, or just play casual & have fun with various builds.
The setting is post-apocalyptic, & you gradually fill out your squad of “Rangers” on your team. You mainly choose their weapons & skills, ranging from beefy (or speedy) melee specialists to glass cannon snipers who deal death from afar. Or go in between with pistols, automatic weapons, & machine guns. Skills, aside from the weapons mentioned, include dialogue specializations, explosives, science stuff, stealth (not very fleshed out, but useful for sneaking up on enemies), dealing with robots, taming various animals, etc. Pretty much every skill is useful.

I’d highly recommend it. It most definitely feels like a combination of X-Com style combat and Fallout post apocalypse atmosphere. I very much enjoyed the story, voice acting, music and plethora of choices. I liked both DLCs because they both added time to the game, blended well with the main story AND added a new mechanic in each case. I did three full sessions with a good-ish and bad-ish run on Ranger and a November Reigns min-max playthru on SuperJerk. Once you get a feel for the game, it becomes much easier. I learned new things in each playthru too about both game mechanics and story choices. I was pretty impressed with one in particular where I found out about a special type of armor you can get. In my last playthru, I tried to get it but because I pissed off the wrong group of people earlier (which I never thought would matter), they STOLE it from me later. I was both bummed I didn’t get it and happy it was a “thing”.

A really great game if you love RPG. It is really complex and challenging. It also provide you with flexibility to finish the game, be it flexibility to develop characters, freedom to completing quests and puzzles through various ways, and also variety of combos to kill your opponents in battles.
Storytelling is good. The best part is the quest design, especially the early main quest in Act 1. Several mid-end game side quest will be boring but the main quest overall is still fascinating. I also love the humor in the dialogues and character interactions.

Bombix
I don’t recommend this game because the bosses have op weapons that shoot through walls and freeze you so you can’t move and they do that every single turn until they decide to drown you. Maybe remove the broken icicles from the bosses then I’ll change my mind because that fucking Pirate that has come back for revenge always spams me with that shitty weapon. Thank you for your understanding, please fix your game. Sincerely, Riigniits 3

Are you kidding? This game is a joke, a bad one. First of all, it’s a cheap Worms rip-off, the game was originally named “Wormix”, and even had worms in it as playable characters some time ago. Of course, such shameless violation of copyright wasn’t unnoticed by Team17, the original Worms creators, so the developers of this game just decided to change some object textures and rename the game to “Bombix”. Second, the actual gameplay is frustrating and overall crapy experience, devs tried to make this heavily strategic game, but it came out as 50/50 between luck and skill, it’s like trying to play chess, but instead of chess figures you have jumping frogs everywhere that turn everything into mess! I’m just being honest here, don’t waste your time here, unless you want to feel crappy after playing this.

Pit People®
Pit people is a game I really want to recommend, but has a lot of major problems
that will keep it down.
To start off I was looking through common criticism of the game. and I found the most common 2 problems, is the game being repetitive, and the game not being very in depth, or having shallow gameplay. The reason people find this game so repetitive is because this game was designed so you will win with any strategy, and with any teamcomp in pve. even though this game has all the different units with all their different strengths and weaknesses, the average player has no real opportunity to explore this in pve, they can’t really explore how in depth the game can be, with all the different strategies and teamcomps you can do. the pve both never ramps high enough if difficulty, or at least not often enough for the average player to come across it, and even the few times the game does get difficult enough, if they do have trouble with it, there best choice won’t be counter pick units, it will be their highest level units. The game actually incentives using the same teamcomp because of the leveling system. your highest level units will outperform your lower level ones. so the game punishes you from trying something new. No shit everyone finds the game repetitive. The entire leveling system is just poor game design, and the way the game counters this is by making pve overall way easier than it needs to be, so you can get away with just about anything. so people will either mindlessly through stuff together, and just place everything in range to attack something. or they will stick with all their highest level units, and never explore other units. This is why people think the game is shallow and repetitive. either keep doing what works, and just do whatever because you can. insane mode is hardly more difficult and gives hardly any more loot, and that loot probably won’t be what you are looking for, so there isn’t really a point in ever turning it on. and permadeath mode is just grindy. because you need to keep capturing new stuff.

Pit People is a good game. I really did enjoy everything about it when I first started playing it.
QUICK SUMMARY:
When it comes to the plot and the writing, the game is clearly not trying to take itself seriously. This is one of the strenghts of the game: It’s silly and absurd, similar to that of Borderlands 2. The artstyle and the voice acting of the game, definately adds to the silly nature of the experience, and it skillfully made. The gameplay, while not perfect, is still polished and good.

HELLCARD
Hellcard is a cooperative roguelike deckbuilder that can be played in both Singleplayer and Multiplayer modes. The game takes place in the paper dungeons known from Book of Demons, but its main mechanics revolve around deckbuilding and fast-paced tactical turn-based card battles.
What makes HELLCARD unique and different from games such as Slay the Spire is that monster placement actually matters and can be used to your advantage.
In HELLCARD we’re planning to support co-op battles with up to three heroes facing Archdemon’s hordes. You’ll be able to descend into the dungeons solo, recruit computer-controlled companions or join your friends or strangers in their battles against the hordes of hell.
If the above features get you excited, be sure to wishlist the game now on Steam. Otherwise consider wishlisting anyway - who knows, maybe we will get you excited along the way!
About Return 2 Games series
Return 2 Games is a series of unique mid-core games inspired by the golden days of PC gaming. Each R2G title is a tribute to a single hit game from the ’90s: a reimagining of a single universal story for a brand-new audience, using modern means and innovative, often vastly simplified gameplay mechanics.
HELLCARD internally started as an idea for a new game mode inside Book of Demons (the first game in the R2G series), but we soon realized that it’s a much bigger design and that it should be executed as a separate stand-alone spin-off game. If you want to learn more about Return 2 Games or support us in the development of the series, visit the Supporter Pack store page. On release, HELLCARD will be a part of it.

Across the Obelisk
If you are input deck building games and would like to play with up to 3 friends then you will simply love this game. It is so varied in all runs we had ( 30) and it is still fun to experiment with new deck ideas, improve strategies and learn from each new weekly challenge.

This game is a great little deck building game with some RPG stuff thrown in. Don’t listen to the reviews that say you HAVE TO GRIND to beat it, I was able to beat it on my third run and that was just learning what the cards and debuffs/buffs do. Plus it has co-op!

THE GOOD:
Starting up was super easy. We only needed one copy of the game so I downloaded it, we all downloaded the app (onto our Galaxy S7 Edges) and connected to my wifi (on 2.4Ghz because my 5Ghz seems to sputter sometimes with everything I try to connect to it), started the game and put in a label, started the app on our phones connected and hit “Start” on the game (on the PC). We waited for only a few brief moments for each player to get their starting dialog and get connected with the other players. It was literally that easy.

pros:
-
The local co-op. A unique opportunity to play the game on one screen with 5 friends. Players are not required to sit at computer or hold a joystick. Each player can take their favorite place in the room and play with their smartphone.
-
The battle. Interesting and intense battles with multiple abilities and friendly fire.
-
Semi-turn-based combat provides time to think over your tactics and at the same time, there is virtually no waiting time for other players or enemies moves.

The AI is very stupid and only does bad trades without attacking face. I like the card design and I am having fun farming.
