Elixir of Life
I like the game, parts are a bit tedious though. It’s nice to able to either have the battle automatically go, or you get to choose who attacks what. Let’s just say the grind is real in this game. Your armour constantly will break so you have to make another set or buy from the shop. Finding some ingredients/ parts for recipes is a bit hard at least for me. For fishing you need to get leaves and sticks, why are leaves so hard to find.

Shadoworlds
Deafening silence in the deep darkness of space.
The Magna 6 system is home to the most advanced weapons lab the universe has ever known. Two months ago, communications with the orbiting facility mysteriously went dead without any warning. If the cutting edge weapons in the station were to fall into the wrong hands, the results would be cataclysmic. Knowing that quick action is necessary, but unaware of what terrors might have caused the break in communication, you are called in to lead a small team of brave but expendable explorers through the imperiled space station with a mission to ascertain the fate of its crew.
Krisalis Software and Teque London’s gripping isometric squad-based sci-fi action RPG follows your team of four explorers as they trek through the dark environments of the Weapons Research Facility to uncover the mystery of what went wrong. Each member of the team is chosen by the player based on their strengths and weaknesses, as well as their personality and individual history. As the leader of the unit, you have full control over the inventories and actions of your squad, even down to deciding when to use headlamps to illuminate the darkness. But watch out – the inky blackness of space hides friend and foe alike.
-
Traverse the dimly lit corridors of the Weapons Research Facility and beam down to the planet surface for terrestrial excursions.
-
Craft weapons by combining interchangeable items found on your mission and use them to battle against hostile defense robots and other menacing threats.
-
Marvel at the real-time dynamic lighting powered by impressive Super Photoscaping lighting techniques. Watch lamps and explosions cast lights and shadows on the environment, and use your squad’s headlamps to illuminate puzzles along your route.
-
Take full control of your team of explorers as you manage their inventories, guide their individual actions, and keep tabs on their life-giving fluid levels.

The first few times I played this game, I really had no clue what I was doing.
then it slowly started to click, now I’m having a great time playing this little game.
First off, this game should be needs to be played with a Controller, be it Steam or Xbox, it’s just easier. (I had problems with it not responding to my keystrokes on my laptop, controller use is near flawless (you’ll occasionally charge an arrow and have it drop as if it didn’t register the charge.)
The idea is you’ve been killed, but your soul escapes the underworld are you come back to life. you choose a “challenge” to keep your life, be it killing your killer, making money, or killing monsters, amongst other things… additional challenges unlock with subsequent playthroughs, you can only start with “Killing your killer” or “exchange your soul for another”

Blacksmith of the Sand Kingdom
Fun combination of turn-based party RPG with crafting and simple storefront management. The early gameplay felt a bit repetitive until class options open up and your ability and equipment choices expand, and from there it was more enjoyable as new strategies opened up.
The game was developed as a mobile game, and has a lack of mouse support. The keyboard-only gameplay took a bit to get used to, but overall it isn’t that big of an issue.
Apparently the game is available at a lower price point on mobile, so if you’re looking to save a few bucks and don’t mind playing on a smaller screen, that is an option. At the time of the review I’m progressed about 40% through the game, so if you plan to do a completionist run, you’re still going to get plenty of time out of this one for what you spend. From a value perspective I’m still quite happy with it, even if it doesn’t exactly feel like a $20 game. I’d definitely recommend picking it up during a sale.

Overall gameplay’s great. Story is meh, I actually skipped a lot of side quest dialog, and that’s coming from someone who usually reads pretty much everything in every game he plays. Battles are really easy, auto battles clear all of your random encounters, boss fights are a bit harder, but still pretty easy.
The class system is in general, what keeps me playing. It allows a lot of customization, one main class, one sub class, stats are decided by your main class, while sub class modifies it a bit. You can fully utilize active skills from both main and sub classes, while passives are freely assignable across ANY class. There are no class requirement at all, like none, after you unlock a class you can just switch to that class, grab some skills, move on. While this in itself isn’t bad, some sort of investment would be nice to make me feel like I “earned” the skill(for example, say you play a fighter and want that 2Hsword passive, you just switch to an elementalist, grab the skill, and you’re good to go, you spend literally no time into elementalist at all).

Doom & Destiny Worlds
Was a huge fan of the first two games, so I was excited about diving into the world of Do&De again. Crafting games aren’t normally my favorite, but this one keeps things simple enough that I can manage (no hunger/thirst meters, THANK YOU), I’m also not a fan of item deterioration, but it makes sense with the crafting. so far I’ve explored 11 different islands. the puzzles are pretty straighforward so far, but the crafting really drags out progressing the story, especially when your weapons and armor break and you have to make new ones.

Doom & Destiny Worlds third part from the D&D series. In this part we will find a completely new approach to the game. First of all, an open world which is very large. Many of different islands with challenges and lot of strange monsters to defeat. Crafting is also new thing. You can create all your equipment. Lots of weird potions to kick up your nerds. Being able to build and destroy almost anything. Simply a wonderful adventure for hours. Just Gigawesome game! I also recommend the previous parts which are just as great as this one. I already have, and you?

Knight Eternal
Fourth game in the series. Even though the third one is my favourite, this improves on all aspects except writing, which has always ranged between tolerable and terrible, and music, which to be fair I muted 10 seconds into the game.
Your characters get a skill tree, which is a nice touch and offers more options. Considerably easier to deal with resource management, like mana, a quality of life much needed. Tactics, even the same ones from the previous game work better, stats are more meaningful and in general combat as a whole feels more refined. Unfortunately the difficulty doesn’t keep up with all these changes that make you life easier and let you better tailor your party to your preferences, that’s why I still prefer the 3rd one.

I’m not good at leaving reviews, so I’ll just lay out my thoughts.
I liked that the battles went pretty quickly.
I really liked how this and finding light have mechanics similar to the Final Fantasy Legend games, if I remember them correctly.
There was a large amount of abilities to use and I was always excited to find a new one. Items that gave a lot of abilities were particularly coveted by me. I did wish there were more abilities, but the ones that were available had enough variety that I never felt bored by them.

Dungeon Rats
Dungeon Rats is a pure combat game set in the universe of Age of Decadence. Like it’s predecessor, it promises to force players to make hard decisions and weigh every tradeoff.
The first thing you’ll notice when playing the game is the excellent, atmospheric music, almost perfectly complementing the game’s main menu screen. Most of the in game scenes, however, err towards too dark for easy visibility, even somewhat hindering playability.
While shallow in comparison, the conversation trees are highly reminiscent of Age of Decadence’s conversations; detailed, lore-heavy, full of unsaid implications, which were one of the best qualities of AoD. Unfortunately, as Dungeon Rats is extremely linear, it could not embrace the full scope of these conversations.
– Real player with 106.1 hrs in game
Important Note: I played through Age of Decadence several times before playing this game, so my experice may vary to yours. I only played this game on “Hard” (default difficulty) and “Solo Mode Hard”.
Overview:
The game consists of approximately 50 battles, which are set-pieces. There are no random encounters. This makes it a game about learning what the encounters are about. Playing the game for the first time was challenging and I did not learn my lessons that defense is more important than offense. I also learnt later that it is ok for some of the early companions to die (although you don’t want it to happen often).
