Dashwalk Dueling
Dance your sword across the arena while trying to keep your feet on the ground in this fast-paced platform fighter. Its minimal mechanics and visuals are the foundation for complex ground movement, creative combo routes, and fast-flowing combat! Choose from eight supers and reversals to dismantle the competition.
Intricate Combos
Dashwalk Dueling’s combo system lends itself well to 50/50’s and frame traps, although some simple combos still existed throughout, as you carry your opponent across the stage with jab strings. Players will darken when in hitstun to help you to understand combos intuitively, alongside a combo counter that will give you clear feedback on your combos and strings.
Guarding and Parrying
Dashwalk Dueling has a deep guarding and parrying system. Players can hold a guard against their opponent, and at any time during that guard they can dash away, release the guard to parry, or guard poke, to help them to react to an opponent’s option and parry. Guarding on its own does nothing but open up these options, if you are hit while guarding, it is the same as being hit while not guarding.
Grounded Movement
Dashwalk Dueling’s combat is built around grounded movement. When you’re hit offstage or run offstage, you can jump back, otherwise, no jumping is allowed. This encourages spacing heavy grounded play with any airtime being a struggle for your life.
Powerful Training Mode
Dashwalk Dueling’s training mode is built with labbing and competitive play in mind. Features like frame advantage, move frame data, hitbox displays, per frame simulation, an adaptive combo counter, and more are included and togglable.

Puyo Puyo Champions
This game is puyo straight through. No Tetris, no influx of rating and offers some pretty good tutorials for beginners. I find this much better than Tetris because it’s more than an RNG battle when you vs Puyo as a Tetris or Tetris as a Puyo. That’s all the positives I can give because this game is overrun by bugs and the ones where they can destroy your experience as a player, even for a beginner.
For starters, the ranking in the game is more refined to the point where you are not seeing huge rating changes like in PPT (Puyo Puyo Tetris) and they’ve actually fixed it so that you aren’t getting matched up by a person way stronger than you. The ranking system matches you with a player near your skill level, but here’s the thing, the skill level could be vastly big still, even for a beginner. I’ve been matched with people in the 3000s while I was a 2200 and it completely ruined the experience for me as a veteran puyo player. The fun thing is that you can’t just back out because it locks you into a 30-second agreement to battle each other, which I find not needed because of how many times I and other players bumped into these high levelled players. I even faced against players more than 500 rating points below me and I feel just awful being forced to battle against them. I feel that this is maybe because of the lack of players since steamcharts says that mainly 30-40 people play this around the world per day, but you can get matched up with people from the other side of the world and start lagging, making you do wrong inputs. I do say the 30-second rule stops people from delaying to accept the duel and even gets rid of AFK players which is a plus for this game when it came out from the update. I enjoy playing against others around my level but if I’m going to be decimated by a guy way superior than me, then it’s no fun. This evolves into a few other problems and bugs that are introduced into the ranking system, which is where all the bugs are found.

$10 for what makes PuyoPuyo so fun: the online battles.
If you’re a new player, like, BRAND new to PuyoPuyo, I’d recommend that you hold it off for a little while before buying it. Not to get it on a sale, but for when new solo content gets added in the form of free updates. Since as this game stands of the time I’m writing this review, 90% of its content panders to multiplayer, while the rest are just freeplay CPU battles. No story mode and such, which is to be expected considering the budget price.

It might seem like a very simple game, but there are some really nice and creative mechanics for you to discover. Then you will be able to compete with others in the leaderboards and beat their insane scores. If you like Tetris (who doesn’t?), you will like this even more. And I am really looking forward to the mobile version of this fun little game!

It starts slow and relaxing and after one two mistakes it becomes ugly.
If you like tetris or Tile-matching video game you will like this one.
After the update that ads chalenges I started playing it more often.

Bravery Network Online
-
“Ok, I have the advantage here. My Digital Attack is strong against the fighter they have out right now…”
-
“If they notice this, they will probably tag out into their other fighter with a high Digital Defense stat, meaning I won’t do much damage and they will have the advantage again…”
-
“If I predict their switch, and switch to my other fighter in the back with the high Physical Attack stat, I’ll keep my advantage and then be able to set up the win”
If you like this sort of turn based, mind games type combat, then you’ll love Bravery Network Online (BNO) !! It has a good selection of available fighters (with more on the way) - all with their own pools of possible attacks and tricks they can use. You can build up your team of 5 fighters and fight online against other people in both casual and ranked matchmaking. There are some story and single player elements, but BNO is mostly designed around PvP and playing online - at least at this point in early access.

I wrote my first review when I only played 5.8 hours of the game, and even then, I had a blast with the game. Now, with 195 hours in and getting 3rd place in a community run tournament, and running a tournament myself, I came back to revise my review.
The gameplay is much like competitive pokemon, you and your opponent bring in a fighter, and you select a move without knowing the opponent’s selected move. However, what I find most interesting in this game is that it does not have the random effects that can happen in pokemon. Statuses are not applied by chance, a critical hit is not random, and neither are misses, which are parries in this game. However, other reviews will talk about this at length, so I’d like to focus on another side of the game.

ZEROED
Everyone who developed this game worked super hard on and the effort absolutely shows! They are on top of catching and fixing every little problem and making sure the game is in tip top shape. Absolutely recommend to anyone and everyone that loves high speed racing, intense competition, beautiful scenery, and bright colours!

Zeroed is a flying/racing game about speed, combat, and strategy. Definitely a unique gaming experience unlike anything I have ever played before! Takes a little getting used to, but once you do, you’ll be right at home. It’s a great solo experience, and with a team based multiplayer game mode in the works, I really see that as being the true meat of the experience in this game. The sky is the limit for this game, and I’m excited to see this game flourish!

Puyo Puyo™Tetris®
A Brief Summary
Overall, this is an amazing puzzle fighter, with a good amount of content to keep you coming back.
The Casual Experience (Singleplayer)
As a puzzle game crossover it does its job. The Tetris and Puyo mechanics are solid. It has everything you’d expect in a Tetris game like score, time attack and endless modes, plus a few other competitive modes (my favorite of which being Swap). The game even has a charming little adventure mode that’s actually a pretty good introduction to all the various modes in the game, and as a new player the adventure mode was actually relatively challenging.

I don’t even know where to start with this masterpiece.
Ever since 1991, this game has amassed an amazing group of loyal followers who enjoy perhaps every single installment of the game. This is one of those video games that only gets better and better with each sequel. It’s a competitive puzzle game, and when I mean puzzle, you gotta think carefully and use your head to carefully but also swiftly stack your puyos in such a way that you’ll be able to make create amazing chains as they erase themselves one after another.

Very good for an indie game. It’s simple, but really entertaining. The felling you get from going through all those track, each with unique styling and themesong - it really gives you chills :D. I hope this “arena mode” will get developed further, I also hope for new levels in the future ;).
