Blade of Darkness
As it is the case with many other people, Blade of Darkness brings a lot of good memories from my childhood back to me. However, at the time I didn’t understand the game too well, since I was just a child. I remember my cousin explaining to me how to do combos, but after I tried to do them a couple of times, I would just proceed to spam-click the left button. Now, after so many years I finally picked the game up again and, oh, boy, did I have a blast playing through it and beating it at the end! I would say the bosses are quite a challenge, but once you get the hang of the combat, you will have no problem with butchering them. All of the classes are unique and fun to play around with. At first the weapons seem basic, but each and every one of them has its strenghts and weaknesses, depending on the character that’s wielding it. Besides the base damage and defense the weapons and shields have, there are a lot of other different “hidden” stats like range, speed, hitbox radius and so on. And there are so many different places, secret rooms and hidden areas, containing all sorts of goods - food, potions and the best of all - special weapons with unique powers and moves you can perform with them! The enemies have patterns and at first they are a bit difficult to follow, but around the mid-game you are bound to be hacking and slashing body bits left and right. There is nothing more satisfying than dismembering Orcs and leaving their remains in a puddle of blood!

Blood Spear
No game in the steam catalog can compare to Blood Spear. Having thousands of hours in other steam games, i have decided that this game reigns superior above all. No one should pass up playing this game. A Breathtaking experience, honestly, the convoluted story at the beginning begins to piece itself together as you play. The game play flows well and with non linear areas, you can play the game the way you want to play it. The music is phenomenal, and is comparable to soundtracks of other great triple A games. The idea of a ranged combat is so fresh and different in a convoluted genre of sword hack and slash games. This game CANNOT be compared to the souls games, they are the yin and yang of souls likes. Dark souls being bleak, cold, dark, and repetitive, while Blood Spear is fast pased, high octane, intuitive, as these new ideas are added to the legacy of these games. I hope that this inspires other great Spear-Like games and is a genre i will be keeping up with for years to come.

When a game is soo good that being free seems wrong
-
Third-person Hack and slash
-
Short
-
Great atmosphere
-
Inventive combat mechanics
-
Easy to learn, room for skilled-play
So, if you are still here… Let’s get down to it:
@Chris:
Nobody said it was easy, it’s such a shame for us to part…
Blood Spear is often called a student project… hence why it is so short and free, but make no mistake, winning first prize at ISART Digital Montreal 2021 is no small feat, and calling this a student project is a grave understatement. Picking obvious queues from the likes of Dark Souls, Soul Reaver and more, you get a third-person hack and slash campaign that won’t overstay its welcome, with an easy to learn throwing mechanic (charge and quick-fire) backed up with two inventive skills that add strategy and healing abilities, this compact package leaves you wanting more.

10/10 do not hesitate to buy if you have people for couch co-op available. Absolutely fun with me and my girlfriend who doesn’t like games.
Basically like “who shot the sheriff/murder/wink murder” you played as a kid but with more blood.
Quick to pick up controls are easy, Likelyhood this will last for 1 - 3 hour game sesh with a large group of friends its that fun. More people the better but just 2 was great fun and all game mechanics still work with minimum amount of people.
Will be even more fun with a group likely next two weeks i will update when i have a party.

This is a very tentative thumbs up because the game is decent fun, but it’s marred by technical issues (walls with no collision detection, sound bugs, black frames) and a couple gameplay flaws (the camera). Here’s hoping future patches address some of these concerns.

If you’re using doors instead of blasting through walls, you’re doing it wrong. It’s a nice take on a twin stick shooter where you can’t kill or defeat things by shooting at them, but instead shooting them into things.
I love all the glitchy visual effects. Game is very light on story and humour is definitely very weird, but I’m liking it so far.

Runic Rampage - Action RPG
As I always start my reviews, play the game in English and don’t watch the translations. The Italian one is awful like every other one, so let’s stick with English.
This one is an action RPG with good graphics - I love them, 3D and with a view from above which allows you to see enemies and everything that surrounds you, since the fights are those of a hack ‘n’ slash and you don’t have a party, but a single dwarf XD.
Price is quite high (7€) so, get it on sale if you manage to!
The gameplay is really great and 100% joypad supported, so you have lots of combos, lots of equipment upgrades and most of all you’ll never have to deal with many sidequests or paths.. it’s a straightforward game with levels and bosses of increasing difficulty (never too hard, actually) and for a game like this to me it’s really good!

I’ve put in only an hour and a half into the game, so take this review as an estimate of what you’ll feel like after that amount of time:
PREMISE:
There isn’t a ton of storyline to this, but there’s some. You’re a dwarf fighting to find your lost brothers and (I assume) become the hero your father wanted you to be. You have to conquer four Acts, each broken up into three chapters, each of which has three maps - except for the last, which contains a boss fight. You collect gold, which seems to accrue across death (ie. no gold loss upon getting squished). You also pickup single-use powerups as well as temporary bonuses from single use statues. Finally, you also get skill points, with which to level attributes (str, agility, defense and greed)

The greatest writers of all time are fighting each other in the arenas that were inspired by their work. Each character can summon his own “magic” arena where he becomes the boss of the level for a short amount of time. Each character can be knocked out with one hit in standing in “danger” zone. Once the “magic” arena is summoned by one of the 15 combatants - the fighting game becomes an arcade while the “boss” player is trying to defeat the opponent before the magic arena time runs out.
Included game modes:
-
2x Speed mode - a good way to train superhuman reaction
-
Prophet mode - turns the game into a turn-based strategy in a way. Both players blindly enter the string of commands without knowing the commands of the opponent. Once the required number of commands is entered both characters start executing them.
-
Retro mode - Pixelated graphics, old but gold.
-
I know Kung Foo - AI game mode where the AI is trying really hard to loose to you making it look as cool as possible.

Amazing game, please install this game and support the dev
He is working his ass of to perfect it and it needs more support

This game has huge potential. When it plays right, it’s addictive. The slow-mo 3D aim needs work, but the core game works pretty well. Some fine-tuning to the controls, more levels, and additions to the gameplay especially with the gun-fu moves (Adding more) this could go from a good game to a great game. Hope they update over time and soon. They have something here.

MENTAL
This has to be one of the coolest looking but worst playing games ever. It’s not just rough around the edges, it makes you bleed. From starting the game (it prompts the default Unity resolution and quality selector but doesn’t have the Index resolutions on it) to the absolutely horrible controls.
For instance:
The main menus are cluttered and start really far from you. The game also doesn’t properly detect the controller type so you have to manually select it. There is almost no sounds in the game, which when you turn the music off, because it’s really blaring, the tutorial was silent up until the point you break the walls.

first i want to address the bad reviews. there is a option in game for turning slow mo off when jumping.
second there is more content that a hours worth, i have no idea who could beat survival, the COD zombie like mode, in a hour.
there is wonky controls, but the weapons are fully articulated. so there will be some work needed there.
This game is definately growing on me. at first the clunky controls and some of the action being so chaotic was a bit difficult to deal with, for instance movement is too convoluted, and when your trying to make decisions at breakneck speeds it gets annoying. also theres some wonkyness with weapon handling, which is odd, and some physics issues ( im all up for slowing down the entire pace of the game, have a little more slow motion time, and making the physics heavier, so it feels like im really whacking them, then some grab zones need some reconfiguring.
