Fit For a King
Fit For a King is a relatively short game but is definitely an enjoyable experience. The whole game is centred around the summit that you will be throwing and your main goal is to outspend your rival.
Like the trailer says, you can pretty much do anything, from executing a foreign ambassador to marrying a literal piece of sh- ahem refuse.
At times it can seem a bit aimless and it can be hard to find the clues to get things you need but otherwise is quite fun and definitely worth a play.

The game has a weak and slow start, don’t let this dissuade you. The controls are dated and supposed to feel like a mid to late 80’s crpg, but are way more straight forward and easy to understand then those ever were back then without 200 page manuals. Once you can get a good grasp of the controls the game opens up and the gameplay starts. For the most part it’s a puzzle game with some loot hunting in it. The humor is pretty good and the mix of both serious and silly just strikes that perfect balance. It’s only really down fall and biggest selling point is that it’s short and sweet and complete. It left me wanting more, which is rare for most game these days. It made me want to give ultima another shot or some other Crpgs. I guess some minor things that made me sad was that while there was a ton of lines for the NPCs I wish there was more , and by extension more tasks or quests. (Spoiler) Another minor thing was that it’s never explained in game that some walls can be walked through as a sort of secret entrance.

Lakeview Valley
The Elevator Pitch:
It’s like “8-bit Horror Groundhog Day: The Game.”
Only, it’s really more like “Groundhog Week”, and you’ve traded the meteorology for murder.
The Meat & Potatoes (& Amy’s Cookies):
I absolutely LOVED Lakeview Cabin Collection, so when I found out that the sole developer of LVC, Roope Tamminen, had just recently released his latest game, I couldn’t wait to give it a try.
It quickly and effortlessly surpassed my already-rather-lofty expectations…
-There is a staggering amount of content in this game.

Lakeview Valley is a refreshing take on the genre of Small Town RPG games that I have thorougly been enjoying. After playing more than 45 hours of it I haven’t even brushed the surface of what this game offers and am still getting a handle on what I’m doing.
You play some guy who moved to a new town where nothing is as it seems and you can choose to be whatever you want. I think this game is amazing and I can’t believe I didn’t pick it up from day one.
Want to be a normal guy living a normal life and get to know people and be helpful in your community while remodeling your home? Do it!

Damned Daniel
Overview
Damned Daniel is a wonderfully hilarious and vulgar comedy RPG from the Red Mouse Studio. It follows an alchemist known as Daniel who is stuck trying to turn his failing business when he’s given a mysterious tome that promises success with enigmatic costs. It’s a turn-based RPG and while the game struggles with the turn-based combat, it succeeds with clever writing that takes the player on a funny and yet, disturbing journey to help Daniel achieve his dreams of success.

This game is hands down awesome just to start off with. For fans of RPG games I highly recommenced this game to everyone I knew as it has a story that honestly with leave you on the floor laughing until you can’t breath. The combat is fun, Engaging, and is literally teaming with funny hind jokes that you have to understand to appreciate. The amount of time and detail, love and care, and overall dedication to those playing it is easy to see in the world you are playing in. The creator filled the world with characters and details that will make you want to play the game a second time just to relive it all. The game play is like most RPGs in terms of basics but takes it a step up with extra attributes and beautiful art style. Please if you have good humors and I love RPGs do yourself a favor and buy this game !

Metal as Phuk
This is not your typical RPG Maker “jrpg”, with your standard typecasted heroes. The characters have well written personalities and interactive dialogue that is just unseen on most “jrpg’s” (and that statement is not exclusive to rpg-maker games, I mean rpg’s in general). While the plot and the direction are somewhat linear, the pc’s are what make it gold. It’s like reading a really good book with fleshed out characters that say things that bring the game to life. I have rarely played rpg’s that actually have dialogue interaction with enemies and bosses throughout the battle itself, and the dialogue is not repetitive. It is rich and full of humor, sprinkled with jokes and funny innuendos throughout the entire game. Moreover, it abstains from the beaten path of stereotypical backgrounds and played out motivations. Pontius, one of the main characters, is not a stereotypical mage and almost sets the stage for what good things you can expect for the rest of the game.

RPG Maker - I start with this - most obvious and for me it usually keeps me a bay.
That would be the only negative.
Now let’s look at what is good in this game.
Story - not too complex, not too plain. Just enough to make player tied to the developing progress and expand the game beyond fight&survive.
Humor is sometimes for a bit more mature audience, but even kids would get it and is not bad at all. Dialogues between (later) four party members are pretty cool.
Combat - we all know RPG maker combat, and this one is best of breed (what RPG maker can offer). Not to bad, not to difficult, not too easy. Graphics - you can see on screenshots, I like it. Skills and Spells are well balanced and each next level each char gets new spell or ability.

The Evil Farming Game: Replanted
All screenshots are of alpha builds, and are subject to change.
What have you gotten yourself into now?
When Richard, the town farmer, finds himself at the center of his wife’s murder, it’s up to him (or you) to figure out what the hell to do.
You live on a small island village, with friendly people, law enforcement, and your wife.
Everyday starts the same, harvest yesterday’s crops, give them to your wife, and plant some more. Forever and ever, maybe sometimes you head to the market to pick up some tools.
But one day, that all changed, late at night, you lash out at your wife, and kill her. As you feel her pulse stop, you have no idea what to do. Will you turn yourself in? Or will you hide, stealthily avoiding punishment.
Make your choice in the First Part of this 2 game duology.
Meet friendly faces! Make friends, make enemies! Make your own story. With endless possibility to how your scheme will end up, there is no way you’ll make it out of this scot-free, as you’ll have more than just your wife, taken away from you.
Replanted is primarily based on the “Evil Farming Game” myth.
