Ruin Hunters

Ruin Hunters

Ruin Hunters is a turn-based tactical game where players must lead a party of three heroes. Wander into the deep of the dungeons, defeat enemies, gather treasures, while your party grows in power.

Features:

▪ Turn-based combat (position your heroes, and choose the right skill for attack or defense)

▪ Use the environment (use it for cover, attack, or just simple push the enemy to it)

▪ Level up your heroes (learn new skills, talents)

▪ Momentum points (some skill generates points, some needs points to cast, but when the hero reaches the maximum momentum, he will be able to perform stronger actions with the skills)

The Count of Monte Carlo

The Count of Monte Carlo

The Count of Monte Carlo is a novel take on blackjack, in retro style. I think it balances difficulty and enjoyment well–it can be frustratingly hard while figuring out the peculiarities of some of your opponents, which only makes beating them more satisfying. Definitely one of the better digital card games I’ve played, with all the arcadey goodness that keeps you hooked.

9/10, buy this game if you like blackjack!

Real player with 11.9 hrs in game

It’s blackjack with a bit of a dungeon crawler RPG thrown in.

Very simple, easy to lose time playing.

Art and music style remind me of something I would have played on a library computer in the late 90’s early 2000’s

like a standalone mini game.

I would be very interested to see this what else this developer has in store, because I can’t stop playing.

Wildsilver

Wildsilver

Wildsilver is the fourth JRPG created by Great Potion Games. It will feature …

  • about 15 hours of playtime

  • an epic and emotional story with several plot twists

  • a turn-based battle system with an active-time option

  • a four-character party with a female protagonist

  • a lot of character customisation in terms of stats and abilities

  • medium difficulty with optional challenges

  • legendary equipment

  • puzzles

  • collectibles

  • quests

  • secrets

  • breakable urns

  • British English

  • continuous patches and support (as always)

Before actually working on a project of this scale, the basic design should be perfect. Feedback from actual players (you guys) is extremely valuable in determining what works and what doesn’t. Releasing a free demo on Steam seems like the best way to get as much feedback as possible in the shortest time.

The demo could be considered a condensed version in terms of gameplay. It includes most of the characters, skills, equipment, items and enemies that are planned for the full game. There’s no plot, however, no quests, no puzzles. The game elements and locations may or may not be part of the full game. That depends on your feedback! :)

Wildsilver is planned to be released in autumn 2022. There may be an early-access version.

Big Bia

Big Bia

A member of my party steps on a landmine, i deactivate it and the land mine joins my team, if the turn ends and there is not another unit over the land mine, it explodes dealing 70% of health to the entire team (basically a instant game over), and the same if it gets destroyed. One of my party members gets mad at the land mine and attacks it, killing the land mine and the entire team.

11/10 best game of all time

我是一个挨打王。

我收留了一个小女孩特爱吃东西,天天吞道具,我感觉她有一天要吃了我。

于是我努力变强,千辛万苦攒了三张图,拿到了一堆厉害的随从

我准备让她吃了我变成宇宙最强女boss。

然而我进了一个网吧,在这间网吧里经历了一场离奇的生死大战。

我和随从们踏入网吧时就知道这是个黑网吧,这无良网吧居然收未成年人。

对面挑战我们的敌人阵容齐全,上单战神,中单法王,等等等等,一百多血十几点攻击力。。不过我的保镖刘二狗现在挨打神功也有小成,就算不是个万血科加斯,也算个狂徒蒙多了,拿下他们不在话下。

正当我们准备下手,网吧里突然一声大吼

“你个小兔崽子原来在这呢!”

这是上单战神他爹来了,难不成这上单战神叫阿bin?

场上就剩这个阿bin和他爹了,阿bin他爹对网吧不太熟,进来的入口不太对,我看他离阿bin还有一段距离。有些心软了,谁还不曾经是个打游戏的孩子?这少年也就是来上个网,不至于挨我保镖这一顿毒打。

于是我这回合挂机了,心想还是等阿bin他爹带他回家做作业吧,作业做完了说不定过几年LPL又出一个顶尖上单。

正当我幻想着LPL 2023年全球总决赛上看到这个小上单战神和他爹的时候,网吧里又是一声怒吼

Scramble: Battle of Britain

Scramble: Battle of Britain

Scramble: Battle of Britain is a simultaneous turn-based dogfighting game. Set in a 3D airspace, the game features fast-paced, tactical combat with dynamic flight physics.

Luftwaffe and RAF fighter squadrons go head to head over The English Channel. Competing players simultaneously issue control inputs for multiple aircraft while time is paused.

The planned orders are then played out simultaneously: shots are fired, loops are looped, colliding planes collide.

Each turn is divided into three phases: planning phase, action phase, and review phase.

Survey the aerial battlefield, plan your flight paths, execute spectacular manoeuvres, scrub through time to assess battle damage, and defeat your enemies through masterful tactics and captivating aerobatics.

PLAN YOUR FLIGHT PATH

The two squadrons simultaneously set input controls for each of their Aircraft, adjusting their flight path and attempting to bring them into attacking positions. Setting the flightpaths works like flying planes in a real-time combat game: you’re not choosing from set manoeuvres or levels of altitude, you’re adjusting pitch, roll, yaw and throttle to create your path.

The Planning Phase is time-limited: you need to think fast and act quickly.

EXECUTE YOUR ACTIONS

Time is unpaused and your planned actions are played out. All aircraft move and shoot according to the inputs from the Planning Phase.

REVIEW THE TURN AND PREPARE FOR THE NEXT ONE

Time is paused once again. You can move back and forth through the timeline, reviewing the events of the Action Phase to plan for the next turn.

Once both squadrons are ready, the turn is over and you jump to the next one.

MANAGE YOUR SQUADRON

Scramble: Battle of Britain allows you to manage your Royal Air Force and Luftwaffe squadrons and to fly with your favourite planes. All the key aircraft that took part in the Battle of Britain are represented.

Featured Royal Air Force Aircraft:

  • Supermarine Spitfire

  • Hawker Hurricane

  • Boulton Paul Defiant

  • Gloster Gladiator

  • Bristol Blenheim

Featured Luftwaffe Aircraft:

  • Messerschmitt Bf 109

  • Junkers JU87 “Stuka”

  • Messerschmitt BF110

  • Heinkel He111

  • Dornier Do17

  • Junkers JU88

GAME MODES AND SCENARIO BUILDER

You can play Scramble: Battle of Britain with your friends or against the AI. The game features single-player and co-op missions, as well as quick skirmishes and competitive scenarios. Do battle in pure fighter-versus-fighter dogfights or engage bomber formations in objective-based missions.

Up for something different? Use the scenario builder to create custom single-player missions or multiplayer matches for endless fun.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR SQUADRONS

Make the squadrons your own: the game features in-game tools to customize your fighters with unique camo patterns and decals.

Mind Over Mushroom

Mind Over Mushroom

This is a very fun turn-based strategy game. The battles have enough difficulty to be frustratingly fun, but not so difficult that I want to quit the game forever. There is a lot of strategy involved. The character variety adds to the mechanics, as a well as the terrain. The style of the game is also aesthetically pleasing. After having it on my wishlist for several months, I’m glad I actually bought it.

Real player with 26.6 hrs in game

Liking it so far. Fun tactics game with a good amount of challenge. Graphics are simple but nice.

King Arthur: Knight’s Tale

King Arthur: Knight’s Tale

What can I say. As far as EA go (I have played extensively BG3 164.4 hrs, and Solasta 64hrs EA), that this is well worth the money for what it gives you as a taster. 77,4 hours played? Sure feels a hell of a load more than that.

The rolling cinematic is amazing, gripping and you want to skip past it just to get to starting the game, but it’s so freaking amazing. When can they make a movie out of it? Hah

The story is Mordred (you) went on a rampage across Avalon destroying and corrupting everything he could, raising a huge evil army and eventually coming face to face with the legend that is King Arthur. After an epic battle, Arthur manages to lance you in one, but being the badass Mordred is, he pulls himself across the lance in order to deal a killing blow to Arthur. Game over for the both.

Real player with 129.7 hrs in game

In general, fun game, if a little slight atmo. Assuming it gets discounted from the price of the full game when it comes out, £27 is a little steep but not too bad for what you get. I ended up playing 24 hours to complete the game (with crashes and restarts cos I couldn’t pause & save).

PROS:

  • There’s just enough tactical nuance in the fights to keep it interesting.

  • Skill tree is nice - an interesting set of options and a clever way of setting them out.

  • Rune system as weapon/armour upgrades is also nice. I like the way that you often have to do trade-offs (eg. do I accept less overall damage to get +2 Bleed, which will stack with Mordred’s Bleed skill).
