Shaype
Shaype is a fantasy role-playing game with an emphasis on player dictated character creation, combat playstyles, dialogue, and story outcomes. The ability for the player to create and develop their own character and world is at the heart of Shaype’s design, presenting diverse role-playing and alignment options.
With Shaype, we wish to create a true role-playing game. Our focus in development is for the player to feel as though they exist in an engaging world where their decisions matter.
World
- A major goal for Shaype is to provide an engaging setting and atmosphere. Despite the friendly artstyle, Shaype will explore dark/adult themes, allow for diverse character alignment options and pose morally grey situations in a violent land.
Player Choice
- Gameplay will be multifaceted and reflective of the player, with significant world-changing options in dialogue, playstyle, and quests that are driven by the skillset and choices of your character.
Combat System
-
For combat, we are developing varied weapons and divisions of Magic which will each possess their own skill trees and abilities.
-
We want to provide a challenging experience that rewards the skill level of the player. Combat mechanics are designed to be easy to learn but hard to master, testing the ability of the player to find openings to strike.

Struggle For Talyria
This game has a classic JRPG feel to it. I am so far finding myself invested in the story line and what happens to most of the main characters. The music seems home grown but that just adds to the positive indie feel of the game.
The combat system doesn’t have a wait system which at first was a bit of a shock but the game seems to be balanced around it and did fine easing me into it by the time things started getting difficult and I had to use more than simple attacks to succeed. By then I had rearranged my spells enough to know exactly where to go without having to think about it.

I just finished the game and wow… this is a fantastic classic RPG. Specifically the story and dialogue blew me away. If you like fantasy novels mixed in with some mystery drama, this game is for you. And also just as importantly, this game doesn’t overstay it’s welcome. It’s FOCUSED (which can’t be said for a lot of modern RPG’s where 80+ hours of fluff and unnecessary side quests is common). Also, the combat is solid. At first the active battle system threw me off, but there is an option in the menu to make time pause on your character’s turn, which I appreciated as it made it more tactical.

Your Show Has Been Cancelled
This game just keeps going. At least as much content after “finishing” the game as before. Really well put together 3!

I was not expecting to wholeheartedly enjoy this game as much as I did. From the amazing soundtrack to the laugh-out-loud humor (not even joking) to the real sense of growth in power as you progress, this game will remain near the top of my list for indie games for years. Best of all, you can feel the passion from the creator with every line of dialogue.
If the price is a bit daunting for you, I’d definitely recommend it on sale.
Overall I’d give this game a 8.5/10 - a game I would highly recommend, and I hope to see more from this developer in the future.

TIME IS MONEY

Kilta
It’s a single player auto-battler with RPG, strategy, and roguelike elements. It’s an ambitious project that combines several of the most rewarding elements from each genre. Currently the game is in early access with a typical “run” taking 45 minutes - 1 hour upon successful completion.
The development team is very responsive on Steam and their Discord and has already released several patches since the game was launched last week. They are also working on making the game accessible and fully playable for the visually impaired, which I think deserves a positive recommendation all on its own.

Think_
Think_ as a game is pretty mediocre. Although the game does have a few slightly relatable emotional moments, it lacks in it in lack of gameplay, it’s price (it should be worth a dollar or two or nothing at all), the abyssmal sprite work, glitches, and just in general play value or replayability. The game can be beaten in probably half an hour and is not worth the price it has. After being beaten, the game seems to leave you in a soft lock which leaves you with no way to play the game. The game lacks charm and all and all, the only thing I enjoyed in it was the music, when it wasn’t blasting my ears out of course. 2/10, would not recommend.

I’m a sucker for short games with bad graphics, what can I say? The music is pretty good too. Only complaint is that the game doesn’t allow you to play it for a second time. I wanna see what happens if I name my character Paul :(. I don’t see an issue with the price, I just wanted to get rid of some money ngl.

Nyaa-kuza!!
The UI, level hub, and main menu art assets are absolutely gorgeous, and it seems like there’s a lot of content to play through. There are a ton of different characters in the dialogue sequences but I don’t think it gets to the point of being overwhelming. I also really enjoy certain aspects of the combat, like choosing between different kinds of weapons (including a catzooka??!), and the falling clothesline; I hope there’s more interactive environments like that. It’s so obvious that hours and hours of love went into the making of this game.
– Real player with 1.4 hrs in game
I love the art style of the menu and character portraits as well as the music, however the sprites for the fight section just don’t really match everything else. In fight segments, I found you can easily just push against enemies and swing your katana at them which prevents them from attacking back. The boss fights however gave a better fight.
Personally, I think it would work better with a non pixel-like look for the fight segments and change the fights to just boss fights, each with their own moveset as even on Hard, the regular enemies were no threat at all.

The Viking Way
The Viking Way; an ambitious project that aims to bring a Viking experience into the 3D RPG world. Upon playing I could see the amount of work being put into this project, through their slowly chipping away at every unpolished surface in the game with every update.
It’s Medieval times, when the Vikings rule the high seas and warring factions fight for new land and dominance over other factions. This is where I come into play; I am about to set off on a journey to represent the Faction Ribe and make my father proud.
