Powargrid
(I was killing my voice in this probably shouldn’t do that again haha)
Nothing beats a good day by Racism between different flavors of jelly beans.

Powargrid is exactly as it sounds, your goal is to build the most efficient power grid of lines weapons, power sources, and more. all in the name of your “flavor” of life. because you are blue… da ba di da ba DIE!, and all other colors are evil… for no reason that you need to concern yourself with.

TLDR: This game has been worth it for me, and I would recommend you and a friend to get it.
The campaign for this game is very fun and has several twists. The only way to win is to try and try again until you have found the perfect build order. There is a lot of humour and the devs obviously put some time into the storyline. The campaign really helps you learn the game so that a tedious tutorial is not needed (it is within the campaign and is not tedious).
The multiplayer has potential. Currently, there are only 1 v 1 battles, but the devs have stated that more options are being worked on. 1 v 1 battles are fun; my friend and I have probably played 10 matches since we bought the game. We have both observed that if we could have a lot more fun, however, once there can be 4 player free for alls and 2 v 2 matches.

War of the Human Tanks
Battleships and chess with lolis.
Fantastic fun, interesting story with many twists and several endings, engaging gameplay that demands strategic thinking and an incredible soundtrack throughout.
The game’s story is told through visual novel format, which sets the state of affairs and the stage for the battle to follow. Battles are fought in real-time, but with a sort of turn-based system that runs on ticks, for example after giving a unit orders to move you must then wait for it to radio in asking for new orders before it can be moved again. Battlefields are presented as a grid of octagons, and before the round commences you must first place your units as in Battleships. Each unit has it’s own special properties and characteristics similar to chess, for example some may move 2 spaces at a time whereas others may only move 1, or one unit might only be able to attack horizontally whereas others must attack at least 2 spaces ahead of itself. The aim of each battle is to eliminate the opponent’s ‘Command Tank’ before they destroy yours which, regardless of how many units they have remaining, wins you the battle. The battlefield is covered by a shroud as seen in most real-time strategies with sight range varying between your different units, so early game tactics may usually consist of Battleships-esque artillery strikes into the dark hoping you’ll hit something, as your units gradually advance closer to the enemy, thinning out their ranks until their command tank is within firing range.

The first time I saw War of the Human Tanks, I was put off by how obviously low-budget it is; that was a huge mistake. Apparently, the art style just needed some getting used to, because once I got into it, I thought the graphics were actually pretty good. There’s full voice acting, fun animations and even some really catchy music that makes me itch to buy the soundtrack.
But what about the meat of the game? That, for me, comes in two packages (or perhaps Amasson boxes): the story and the gameplay. Let’s get this out of the way: The story is awesome. I loved it. This is definitely not a “skip-the-dialogue” kind of game; in fact, after a certain point, the story became the main appeal. It’s simultaneously lighthearted and grim, with a really interesting setting that ends up being much more detailed than you might suspect at first. There are four endings (two main paths, with two endings each) that all end up being pretty radically different and are all fantastic in their own way. I’m really in love with the setting, and all the little things you can learn about the rather disenfranchised battle-androids they call Human Tanks; the story really exceeded my expectations in every way. The translation is great, and the writing is clever, funny and serious when it needs to be; some of the big twists were huge gut-punchers. I’d definitely say the story was maybe the best part for me, and it’ll stick with me and inspire me for other personal projects for quite a while.

The Tower of Wowers
Oh boy where do I start? Yes, there is plenty of crude humor to laugh at all throughout the tower. But that says nothing about the actual gameplay. And it plays like proper good RPG. There’s secrets hidden in not-so-obvious places and those are always a treat to come across. If you want gear, you’re going to have to fight for it. There are loot chests, but don’t expect to find weapons in them. Admittedly, I am not the best person to ask about turn-based games in general, but in the words of Todd Howard, “It just works.” Other than the odd bug I came across, which is fixed, the fights are balanced and the controls are easy. And if you like the feel of a buttons and joysticks, controllers should work just fine. I would say the soundtrack is a major selling point (The desert type theme is my favorite, funny how it is in many games), it’s just the whole thing is awesome. The enemies are the most creative and diverse selection I’ve ever seen, probably because they have little to do with each other. And that also brings up a point, there isn’t a huge amount of lore and storytelling. That’s not a bad thing, just something you should know. So, I definitely would recommend this game.

I fully expected to go into this game and rip it to shreds, but its such a shitpost meme game that it quickly grabbed my heart. The crayon drawn enemies are amazing, several variants are around with more xp and currency, and its extremely well done. For the companies first game, the price tag is perfect and it fully deserves to be played by as many as possible. I interviewed Barry during my gameplay review and play through on my twitch channel, and the game is just a work of love for the absurd. 10/10 Buy it and have a great time for a stupid low price!

Mugen Souls
Just like its demon-turned-angel character, this game has difficulty deciding what it wants to be. Which is unfortunately, as it is a good game. It tries to sell itself on its “sexyness” when in fact, it is hardly present. It tries a lot of gameplay mechanisms but does not really perfect any of them. And I guess that it unfortunately is partially reflected on its score.
So, first, contrary to what the screenshots would suggest, this game has very mild and sparse “sexy content”, to the exlusion of the bath scenes that concludes each chapter. In fact, once you’re past the 1st chapter, it becomes an after-thought story-wise. Maybe the result of the censorship (?), but in my case that striked a good balance.

A game as absurd as it is full of kinks and innuendo as it is fun.
NOTE 1: Pressing R2 can skip battle animations! or you can disable them entirely in the config menu. This is very important for making the grind go faster.
NOTE 2: The free DLC is nothing but OP items that make the game impossible to lose. Disable DLC in the title screen menu before you press New Game if you want to enjoy playing through it vanilla.
Now, onto the review!/Mechanics Summary!
The story can be described in two words: Galactic domination. You play as (say it with me now) a loli heroine who has amnesia, but instead of saving the world you’re going to 7 different planets subjugating each one along the way. This is done by finding the strongest people on every planet and forcing them to join you. Like all Compile Heart games you’ll end up with a large cast of different personalities who are all hilarious to see interact with one another. Sounds fun? It is. Until the grind.

Peace, Death! 2
Sequel to Peace, Death!, (h)e(a)ven more fun !
Simple game when you start, but it gets harder more you push through your quests (with 4 apocalyptic knights) and other side quests.
Your main quest is to put at the right place in Heaven or Hell or Purgatory a list of 6 people you can see (sometimes demons, angels, hunters, etc etc).
Each of them have there own particularity and sometimes it could be a bit tedious to think and decide correctly.
On the latest levels, you really have to act fast (and precisely) or you get ejected in few seconds !

Good game. 8/10. Would like to have more interactions with other characters and more quests from them. Biggest plus for me: there are no time restrictions (except catastrophes, but they do not impact the grade of the level).

Disgaea 2 PC
With the recent release of Disgaea 4 on PC I figured it was time to offer my own thoughts on the ones I’ve played since this series is one I’ve come to enjoy a lot over the past couple of years. With that said having given the first game a review a while ago it only made sense to give one to the second one as well. So what are my thoughts on this game and should you play it considering that 4 & 5 are already available? Well time for me to talk and find out.
So as you start up a new file for the first time, just like in the first game, you’re given a voiceover explaining the current situation. An evil Overlord known as Zenon has corrupted the land of Veldime. A once peaceful world, Zenon’s influence has corrupted all human life, slowly turning them into demons and robbing them of not only their humanity but memories as well. All except for one young man, Adell. In an attempt to undo the mess caused by the God of All Overlords, performs a ritual to summon the all-powerful demon……..only to mess that up and INSTEAD summon his one and only daughter Rozalin. Furious over essentially being kidnapped, she demands our battle loving, firey red haired hero to escort her back. From there it’s up to the two to find Zenon and have whatever happen, well happen. Of course being a Disgaea game, lots of wacky antics and comedy filled turns occur along the way. Which is to be expected but I’d say that the story is a bit more on the serious side. Like the first game it has a healthy amount of comedy injected into its story beats but it early on it has a set goal for our protagonists and for the most part what you do in each “Episode” has something related to either developing our cast or working towards that end goal “Find Zenon”. It’s a fine enough story on its own and gets the job done even if its nothing outstanding. The comedy helps liven things up a bit and i did chuckle at some of the jokes and humor even if I felt like the cast overall wasn’t as good as the two trios from the first game and that the story didn’t have the emotional impact the first one had either. Kind of a shame but it’s certainly not a terrible story either, even by the standards of this series.

Remember, “Your Mileage May Vary” in regards to this port, but I believe that this time around performance is way better on launch than Disgaea PC was. Great job NISA!
TL;DR: I wholeheartedly recommend Disgaea 2 PC for $20, especially if you’ve played Disgaea PC. (Buy it so we can get future Disgaea games on PC :D)
–———————-
Let’s get introductions out of the way first, dood:
Disgaea 2 PC is a port of the PSP remake of Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories, called Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days. (Lots of confusing names thrown around, I apologize! Basically: PS2 - Cursed Memories PSP - Dark Hero Days PC - Disgaea 2 PC) Disgaea 2 PC is much more of the gameplay from Disgaea PC, but improved.

Disgaea PC
Note: If you’re able to, get “Disgaea 1 Complete” on the PS4 or Nintendo Switch instead. Since that one has remastered sprites & additional features which will make your experience much more enjoyable, also includes additional characters.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always had a fascination with numbers going up. Seeing small numbers turn to big numbers is something I absolutely love in video games, and Disgaea is the perfect game for this. They go overkill with numbers. Personally I never write reviews, but I have to for an amazing game like this. I’ve gotten every single achievement for this game so I believe I have a good idea of everything this game contains.

As of the moment I’ve never completed this game to the end. When I do - and I’m sure eventually I will as I do enjoy it - I’ll probably redo this review. But for the time being it has left me with an impression.
I won’t spoil anything in detail.
My look into Disgaea
You basically take control of a trio of protagonists in this game. Laharl (prince of the underworld), Etna (one of the prince’s demon vassals), and Flonne (an angel). The basic jist of the story is Laharl spends his time in the game exerting how awesome he is by winning fights - which is pretty accurate to how the player themself probably feels as well. The other two protagonists mostly spend their time trying to bring about a softer side to the prince. There are a ton of plot holes throughout the game’s story but I don’t feel they matter since the game never tries to take itself seriously. It’s always cute, silly, or badass. Things as random as having to fight the Power Rangers takes place in this game after all. It’s never really serious - at least not as far as I’ve gotten.

An ambitious attempt at a fair price. I am sure it would be interesting to someone. That someone isn’t me. Awkward controls with an overly ambitious combat system that fights against the auto battle function make every fight a mess of menus and repetitive movements. Challenging fights that make even random encounters dangerous yet never reaching a state of being unfairly overpowered. Even the bosses have a decent difficulty curve which make any party wipes the player’s fault. Sadly the actual game isn’t engaging enough to make you want to level up. Then you have a story that barely makes you want to see where it is going. I can safely say most people will quit out before giving it a chance to establish itself.
