* Combat *
The battle proceeds in real time.
By utilizing the skills each character has learned, you can strengthen your allies, block monster attacks, and use various other means to advance the battle to your advantage.
Since the monster’s behavior can be grasped in advance, it is also important to select the skills to be used accordingly.
The skills that can be used in battle must be set in advance in the “formation panel,” which consists of nine panels.
The type and position of the skills you set in the formation panel will greatly affect the outcome of the battle.
Which skills to set and where to set them is a major feature of this game.
* Character Build *
.Characters are selected from four classes: warrior, thief,cleric, and mage.
They can be built according to five basic parameters, weapon skills, class skills, and equipments.
Equipment can also have special abilities, which can greatly change the character’s abilities.
For example, a mage who uses self-enhancing magic to wield a sword on the front lines, a warrior who specializes in long-distance attacks, a thief who reliably kills enemies through covert action, a cleric who protects the party with heavy equipment, and many other characters can be created in the player’s imagination.
* Exploration *
.In Path of the ABYSS, you will explore a world consisting of one vast dungeon and several sub-dungeons that branch off from it.
These dungeons are seamlessly connected, allowing you to come and go as you please.
Solve the various mysteries of the dungeon, strengthen your character, and aim for the deepest part of the dungeon.
* Story *
.A small ruin in East Weltorden, which has been stolen many times and eventually decayed without attracting anyone’s attention, has been the site of many horrific monster sightings.
Those who dismissed the sightings as idle gossip and went there to test their mettle never came back.
The lord of East Weltenden sent a survey team to investigate the ruins, but the results were cruel.
Rumors of the ruins soon spread throughout the land, and many skilled adventurers began to visit the area.
You are no exception to this.

G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout
I do recommend this game, albeit with some caveats.
G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout is an old-fashioned third-person shooter with 17 missions, across which you get to play as twelve characters total (six each for the Joes and Cobra). The game is obviously a love letter to the original 80s cartoon, and given the comments the developers make in the art book, they worked with what they had and would’ve make a more robust game if given the choice. If you like G.I. Joe and don’t boot up the game expecting a triple-A title, I think you’ll have a good time.

I honestly couldn’t tell you why this game got so slammed at release. I picked it up in a Fanatical Platinum bundle and powered through the whole thing in one sitting - and it was worth every penny. Definitely a budget title, but between the self-aware humor, earnest appreciation for the IP, and damn fun action (even the vehicle sections!), Operation Blackout might actually be the first genuinely GOOD G.I. Joe game!? It basically is like if Volition’s Agents of Mayhem was a linear action game rather than a sandbox grind, and it works so much better as a result!

The Monster Within
The Monster Within is a deckbuilding game that oozes atmosphere. The art and music are excellent and do a great job of putting you in the setting.
Admittedly, there are a lot of deckbuilders. So, what does this game bring to the deckbuilder genre other than a fantastic theme? First, the cards you can choose to buy are dictated by your health. The lower your health, the more powerful cards you can buy - but, of course, the closer you are to losing. This mechanism feels really good, especially because the rounds go a little longer than most deckbuilders. Which brings up something else different about The Monster Within - The longer rounds allow you to really build your deck around a theme and capitalize on that theme. The third thing that sets this game apart is that the developer is extremely responsive - seriously. Join the discord and have your bugs taken care of pronto.

At present i wouldn’t recommend. The progression in the game is based on doing things to unlock stuff (thankfully if you click on the locked stuff, it will tell you what you need to do to unlock it, in theory) sadly in reality, i have beaten the game with the scientist multiple times, it didn’t unlock what it’s supposed to, i beat the game on the blood 1 difficulty again multiple times , again no unlock, so i can’t unlock any more characters, cards or ailments until this is fixed.
What i have played so far has been kind of fun though, so if and or when this gets fixed chances are pretty good i would change my review to recommend.

This is the first game on Steam I am writing a review for. The game is SOOO meta! I absolutely LOVED it, incredibly fun and challenging! The music is great, the art style is simple but awesome! I started with the demo before the release and played through as Lord Snicklefritz because obviously he’s got the best name in the game! I jumped straight into Nightmare Mode and struggled on the first boss a little until I got used to the controls (I used Xbox controller, but I did remap some of the buttons).

I highly recommend giving this game a try if you enjoy 2D games or boss fights. The devs have been a pleasure to work with and have promptly fixed any bugs that were found. Each boss fight features unique mechanics and patterns that you have to learn and each character has their own set of attacks and abilities making each playthrough a new experience. The soundtrack is very well done and compliments the game and characters without being overbearing. The writing can be a bit cringe, but often in a hilarious way as long as you don’t take it too seriously (and you shouldn’t, because it doesn’t take itself very seriously either) and the modern culture references are very amusing. All in all, a very entertaining and well done first game release by MiSou Games. I’ve had a blast playing and my viewers and I have had some great laughs with this game. It’s an amazing value at this price and I’ll be picking up a copy for my girlfriend as well.
