Jurassic Fantasy
I really enjoyed this game!
At first I completely missed that you could put points into your stats by clicking on them so I moved around at the lowest speed, attack and defense which, needless to say, didn’t go well at all.
However, once I figured out how to increase stats it became 100x more enjoyable!
I eagerly await Jurassic Fantasy II!

I’m really enjoying this game, but each time I play, the game ends up going to a black screen at some random point (typically ~10-20 minutes in) and it shows a picture of a sad computer. There’s no way to back out of that and return to the game. I wouldn’t mind so much if there was a way to save/not start over every time it happens. Any assistance would be appreciated!
4/22/21 Edit: I’m sorry, I really like the game, but I have to recommend against it at this point because it keeps crashing before I can finish it.

Code of the Savage
“Sails on the horizon… Why they came, we did not know… Destruction, chains…"
Code of the Savage is a tale of vengeance and survival. After escaping a slave ship, you have found yourself in chains and washed ashore on the island Kingdom of Daneth. You must find your way in a brutal and unforgiving world where nothing is black and white.
Code of the Savage is a no-holds-barred classic western style RPG. Inspired by the greats from the 80-90’s with a modern flair. There is a strong emphasis on player freedom through social and moral interactions… Will you choose to firebomb the brothel, the church… Or both? Will you do it for money, glory or just because?
In Code of the Savage, you and the main character are totally new to Daneth. Explore the land and discover its rich history and lore.
I wanted to create a role playing game that brought me back to my gamer days as a child on the C64 and MS-DOS PC. There is just something lacking in today’s RPGs that I miss. Tired of micro-transactions, and randomly generated worlds; I am creating a world that is handcrafted with purpose. Essentially, I am creating the game that I want to play.
Code of the Savage includes a great emphasis on NPC interaction. Each NPC in Code of The Savage has their own story, their own character portrait, and a daily schedule. They will, go about their daily lives, going to work, eating and sleeping.
Level up your character and adventure forth to discover the treasures, history, and people of Daneth.
-
Open world - A large open, seamless, non-linear, hand-crafted world for you to explore. Including day and night cycles, and weather.
-
Exploration - Discover towns, cities, hidden caves and dungeons. Unravel the rich lore of Daneth.
-
NPCs with depth - Meet a rich cast of NPCs with a dynamic branching conversation system. NPCs remember your name and react differently depending on the situation.
-
Dark themes - Code of The Savage doesn’t hold back on what some may consider offensive content. If you’re easily offended, Code of The Savage is probably not for you… This is not a “slay the dragon” and “save the princess” RPG.
-
Player freedom - There are various ways to progress through the game, with no right or wrong answers. Morality in Code of The Savage is not black and white. You decide what’s right, and you decide what’s wrong.
-
Adventure - Battle giants, undead and other creatures, hunt to gather resources, or go on a murderous rampage, the choice is yours.
-
Combat - Fast-paced dynamic combat system which is real time with pause. Combat encounters happen in real time, without loading to a separate combat screen.
-
Inventory - An intuitive and easy to use inventory system. Any equipment and armour the player is wearing shows on their avatar.
-
Controls - Smooth grid-based movement. Easy and intuitive mouse and keyboard controls.

Lionheart: Legacy of the Crusader
It’s a good game. It’s not great because… because the ending part of the game had to be rushed (studio ran out of funds) and it’s felt. Where Barcelona and surrounding area is lush with story with great amount of choices and consequences, somewhere after the middle the game becomes very linear with no consequences of any action you perform – or already have, minor or major. You can still influence the ending but it all feels so… well, cut, be it Good or Evil. Healthy imagination allows rich foresight into what it could’ve been and, and… Ah, the bitterness of bliss. The game is so close to awesome.

This game is a bit of a mixed bag. The beginning in Barcelona is a lot of fun, visually appealing (despite aging poorly), decent voice acting and overall fun. There are issues in the start area, mainly talk your way out or fight it out. Many skills are totally irrelevant and the import/export mechanic allows for some rather interesting builds. After finishing France, the studio was running out of money and it shows, the voice acting almost totally disappears and the quests just become a slog through dungeons packed with monsters. It turns from a fun and reasonably light Diabloesqe RPG into a brutal slog that is a major pain in the A** to complete. If it was not for the easily abused import/export mechanic I would have never finished the game. BTW fix the texture bug on Windows 10 devices it’s frustrating to see, also so form of multiplayer servers would be greatly appreciated.

Nox Archaist
maybe 5 years ago, I purchased the complete Ultima series from GOG, and played them from Ultima 4 onwards (I didn’t consider 1-3 as worthy of my time as the Avatar was introduced in 4). Why would I do such a thing? well, I had played bits and pieces of most of them, but never finished them as a teenager (except for ultima 6). It has always been on my bucket list to finish them all. Well I got through 4 to 7, before I ran out of steam, but I loved every minute. Ultima 5 was the best in my opinion.

Edit: Just Finished my first playthrough of the main storyline and it was so fun and satisfying, even the grind was fun because there were so many places and unique creatures to kill. I’ll keep it short so no spoilers but I will say if you enjoy the seeking and speaking to the NPC’s and really building the world through interacting with it you will love this game.
Saw this game and thought it would be very cool to play a game along in the realm of my first CRPG’s, UltimaIV was the first computer game i tried in my life.

Serpent in the Staglands
A friendly reminder that taking on a pack of wolves with a kitchen knife, or single point in a first level spell is a bad idea.
Serpent in the Staglands is a modern ‘old-school’ style crpg in both look and feel. Gone are the arrows of patronization, the quest log, the terrible bland puzzles that a brain dead toddler could figure out, and in is a true return to form of open world crpgs bursting at the seams with love and attention to detail. For a game made by a team of two people, it is one of the gaming masterworks of this decade in my eyes.

Serpent in the Staglands starts of with you, the Moonlord, trapped in a mortal body.
With very little info you set out throughout the Staglands in order to put the pieces of what happened together.
From the get go the story pulled me in, I really liked the mystery and the continuous search for clues to figure out who trapped you and why.
Being in mortal form also strips you of your powers as a God and this is a very refreshing take on the genre: you’re not the typical hero which everyone asks for help, you’re just a peasant which most people ignore.

Back To Hell
This plays just like one of those free flash games from ten or more years ago where they throw together some clip art images and monotonous music for ten minutes of “gameplay” with no real challenge. If it weren’t for the death scene, I would think this was a toddler game. The team made a couple of bug fixes last year but what this really needs is a ton more puzzles and content and a better selection of public domain music tracks–and a faster walking animation so you don’t have to bounce and spin everywhere.

I actually super enjoyed this game it was an absolute banger it took me forever how to figure out how to use the items because I’m dumb but had a ton of fun playing through it controls pretty well and cursive’s a bit hard to read for me I’m a bit out of practice it was an insanely short game but for 49 cents I feel like I got a good return on my money. my play through here: https://youtu.be/d9g57Q8p4fw

CELLAR | Rags and Knife
This is an odd little roguelike. It’s a very zoomed in map that is on screen and the aesthetic is very lofi pixelart with letters for the monsters. It’s kind of ASCII plus but barely plus. There’s some cool music that sounds like it came from a niche 1970s horror film.
I’m not sure how much procedural generation there is in the levels. There seems at least to be several set areas like the start and an area later with a fight in progress before you get there.
There’s different weapons to pick up and armour- just one armour for the whole body like “hoody” or “rags”. The weapons break. When you kill stuff you get xp and when you level up you can pick one of two skills.
