Familia
This game is the beginning of a new epic, in the short 16 hours I have played it all I can think about is where this story could go, and where it will take me. Playing the base game was immersive and wholesome to say the least. From reuniting a family of strong warriors to fending off a tyrannical empire, it is a rollercoaster of emotions that leaves you wanting another ride time and time again. And thus, Plus Mode offers to suffice until the next leg of the journey is developed. With new loot, harder bosses, and a dense lore to dissect. I can not wait to begin another adventure with these lovable characters and delightful soundtracks.
– Real player with 51.9 hrs in game
Excellent RPG with heavy influences from old school JRPGs such as Breath of Fire, Final Fantasy, Suikoden and more. It pays homage to the games that inspired it but never gets too heavy handed with the tropes. Pixel art is excellent and the world is beautiful and alive. The combat system is standard RPG fare and is smooth and accessible to the player.
Only issues would be to make sure you have an SSD because I suffered major framerate drops because of my HDD loading speeds. However, this did not impact my review of the game. It was still playable.

Monster Tribe
Monster Tribe fuses strategy combat with rpg systems, item collection and dungeons filled with puzzles to pull the player into its world. But ultimately, this is a game all about exploration. The island of Akama is vast and wild, reclaimed by nature over many years. There are mountains, beaches, forests and mines, along with some scenery much less familiar. Remnants of vast ruins can be seen all throughout the land. In order to explore these strange - and sometimes dangerous - lands, you will need the help of the Ateyan. By binding your spirit to these creatures, you will be able to uncover the many secrets Akama has to offer. You will use the Ateyan to battle your way through the wilderness, and along the way there will be many unique resources to collect. Your tools will help you scavenge for rare ores and logs, and forage for food in the trees and beneath the waves. Resources will be a huge aid to both you and the Ateyan that choose to follow you, allowing you to unlock special fusion forms and power up your party. Once you feel ready, the player can take their team of Ateyan to one of the many Towers present throughout the island, to try to tackle the strange and mysterious dungeons and puzzles that await them there. Beyond these epic challenges lie answers to the mysteries of the past, and possibly a way forward for the people of the present.
In a vast ocean landscape, a lone island sits. This island is called Akama by its people, and it is a very special place. It is the home of not only its native people, but also strange creatures called Ateyan. The Ateyan appeared on this island through a magical Rift, and continuously draw energy from it. Using this magical spirit energy, the Ateyan have manifested wonderful powers of all kinds.
The player will embark into the land of Akama and relearn the secrets of the past. Along the way, you will use the unique powers of the Ateyan to restore a balance that had been tipped a long time ago, and reveal truths about the island, the creatures, and the people who inhabited it long ago. There is much more to the history of this land than the stories that have been passed down. Will you journey to the heart of this world to see them for yourself?
Battling is a key aspect to Monster Tribe, and so we put the utmost care into making sure we got it right. Battles are fought with teams of Ateyan on a small grid battlefield, with each team occupying their own side of the field. There are many complex elements to the way these battles play out, but we have done everything we can to make sure that they are not only deep, but accessible and fun to play through. Below we will detail many of the nuances of the battle system for those hoping to dig their teeth into the meat of the game.
Akama contains many biomes filled with spaces for all kinds of different creatures to fill unique niches in its ecosystem. But, it seems that besides fish and a few birds, no animals live on the island. Instead, small balls of light roam around the wilderness, barely even visible to some - and not at all to others. They are called Ateyan, and according to history they are much more than they appear to be. In the ancient past the Ateyan appeared, through what is only referred to as The Rift, and they exploded in population and diversity all through the island. For many generations they lived alongside the people of the island, and there are descriptions of all kinds of magical, powerful creatures capable of incredible feats. But it seems somewhere along the line the Ateyan and the humans drifted. The Ateyan remained on the island, but only their spiritual essence could be seen; those same strange balls of light. The rest of their existence fell into a space between this world and the world of the Rift, and there the Ateyan could continue their lives without the disturbance of humanity. It is in this form that they stayed. Now, even their very existence as anything more alive than the rocks and rivers - has come into question. As the player will discover upon beginning their journey, this couldn’t be further from the truth.

Volseons
Volseons is an RPG/turn-based combat type of game set in a land-locked country called Dynanzium. Take the role of Lerdstrat, one of king’s most loyal servants, as an opposing faction sets him up for the assassination attempt at king’s life. Use powerful monsters known as “Volseons” and venture around the world in search of redemption and truth.
Being creatures of immense power over the elements of the world, Humanity has found many ways to manipulate and control them in order to build up their civilisations and advance technology, while also using their power to wage war with other human factions.
Features:
-
Journey through a prologue story arc which sets the tone and backstory of the main game (planned for release in 2019).
-
Fight and Capture multiple unique Volseons, all with their own traits. (With a lot more Volseons to come!)
-
Challenge powerful opponents as you take on a slew of difficult enemy teams where your strategy will be awarded.
Our story
We are proud to be here with our first major game that we want to continue developing. Currently, we made this prologue as a proving grounds of our idea as a side project in our free time. Next up, we want to get to the next level: going full-time developers, and for that, we need help!
For our planned developments for Volseons, please see below.
Planned features for Volseons:
-
Detailed character arcs over six story epics. Following a number of characters across the world of Dynanzium, in Volseons you are not simply playing one character or one party of characters, you will instead experience intricate stories of multiple characters from different civilisations and factions as they interact and wage war with each other, seeing the good and bad in every major character instead of seeing characters as one note heroes and villains.
-
Five epic regions to explore and beyond… in ONE game! In 2000, Pokemon Gold featured two existing regions to explore which certainly made the game feel really epic. Unfortunately, as Pokemon games expanded and spread across multiple cartridges and games consoles, players cannot visit these old areas on the later versions of the game. We have built a structure which will allow us to release new regions, areas, Volseons etc into the base game, allowing players the freedom to go back to the old regions and as well as to allow us to update the old regions with new content, allowing us to make a true expansive and epic world.
-
Six years of planned content. Volseons, by nature are adaptive, growing beasts. Our game will reflect this as we release a steady flow of content over the next six years. We plan to release each story epic around a year apart from the last one, each epic will come with a new region to explore with the exception of the last one… which will be something truly special. In addition, we will release additional features and balance adjustments to the game periodically.
-
The progress of this prologue will transfer to the main game, this prologue will give players an early opportunity to give us feedback for improvements of the main game as well as allowing early adopters to capture some rare Volseons for later use!
-
A whole encyclopedia of monsters (that we call the “Necromonium”), with around 30 Volseons already in game with their own unique passive ability and typing combinations which gives each Volseon it’s own unique flavour. In addition, each Volseon has their own expansive moves pool. Volseons will be released regularly in each major update and may also be released in events.
-
Truly challenging content. We are creating a strategy RPG that will have meaningful difficulty settings and optional challenge modes. For an example of this difficulty, a boss fight on a higher difficulty setting will use drastically different Volseon team compositions that are made to challenge the player much more than the normal difficulty, no inflated stats rubbish here!
-
Challenge modes will introduce additional challenges such as introducing permanent death to your Volseons if they are defeated or restricting the amount of Volseons you can capture and use like a “Nuzlocke”. Many more challenge modes will also be included that will give hardcore players very meaningful feats to accomplish.

Dungeon Scavenger
RECOMMENDED : Ratings 8/10 (Very Enjoyable, Great price to enjoyment ratio).
Dungeon Scavenger was a really fun and enjoyable Rogue-like dungeon crawler that I enjoy very much.
This game provides an interesting twists the the regular rogue-like dungeon crawler, using many different game mechanics. There is also great replayability because the user can chose to play one of 8 interesting classes, which are extremely different in all aspect. There are also 4 different difficulty mode and the “Impossible” difficulty is as the name suggest : it’s impossible to play it directly. The challenge is to support your character in the impossible mode with money and other resources from your other character. I spend many hours farming “skill point potions” using my other characters and then sending them over to the character in impossible mode.
– Real player with 99.2 hrs in game
TL;DR: Simple and relaxing dungeon crawler that can see you putting in dozens of hours on a single class run, let alone twelve of them.
Dungeon Scavenger is one of those gems of a game that fully embodies the old adage of ‘less is more’. Although the forward face of the game makes it seem like an outdated slog, in practice it proves to be a highly enjoyable experience.
Gameplay consists of moving a highlighted square across a randomized grid layout with encounters that differ every time you rest and/or reset the dungeon through events; whereas combat is simply pressing buttons with the goal of maximizing damage output and minimizing damage taken through the use of class-specific spells and enhancements to increase your strength or hinder that of your enemy.

Final Stardust
Choose Your Element
Final Stardust is an anime like JRPG that aims to bring a new perspective to turn-based battle systems by introducing many new features such as Saiments, Synergies, Turn Effects, Dynamic Music, Voice Acting and more!
Synergy
This is how you deal the “big damage”. Every synergy has a cost and you need to consume stacks to be able to cast it. You get a stack by using a spell and its element will be the same as the used spell, meaning that if you use a “Mars” spell, you get a “Mars” stack. After multiple turns you will get enough stacks to cast a powerful spell, a.k.a synergies!!!
Saiment
You can’t use items in battle, only saiments. Saiments are similar to items but they have their own system. At the end of every turn you draw a saiment(randomly from your deck). Every saiment has an “effect” that you can use instead of casting a spell/synergy. Every saiment you use is consumed and you can’t use it again(unless you start a new battle)!!!
Sealing
Sealing new monsters(a.k.a Planos) isn’t about luck but about strategy. You need to use “Sealing” saiments and survive long enough to be able to fill up the “Sealing” bar to 100% and acquire the new Plano!!!
Anime Moment: Ultimate Draw
Final Stardust is filled with anime moments and this is one of them. This mechanic allows you to get any particular saiment you want from your deck(can only be used once per battle). If you are a fan of anime, you are in for a treat!!!
