Swing Lord

Swing Lord

This is a game that understands why games like Jump King are so great. It’s not about the frustration of falling, but the achievement of climbing and making areas you struggled with in the past feel trivial due to your increased skill. Currently I’m approaching the end of the game, but felt like giving a review after the amazing and terrifying mechanic that happens at the end of the second world [won’t say what it is of course]

There has only been one jump where I have wondered if I did it the intended way [some long sideways jump in world 1], everything else has felt buttery smooth. Really great game, I will do my best to spread the word about it! I even hope we get some continued support for it if it gets popular enough. More worlds perhaps?

Exorcised

Exorcised

One of the best TD games I played for sure!

It’s easy going, it has elements I’ve never seen in any other TD game (like the genius alliances), gives the game a whole new meaning and fun, I also love the upgrades in and out of the levels, the whole theme is fun, the characters (towers) and their looks are awesome, I simply love it.

Hope you guys are planning to keep updating the game with more towers, powers ups and such!

Exorcised is a newly released Tower Defense game.

The game is set in a Japanese fantasy world, with many versions of Japanese females clothed in cultural Japanese style as the towers, and with demons as the enemies, no story or known plot in the game, so lets move on.

The game is pretty straight forward, like many other Tower Defense games, the enemy move on a fixed path from one side to the other and you, as the player, need to place those sexy female towers to eliminate them.

There are several kinds of towers, each with somewhat different stats and characteristics which could be upgraded later on, and some different enemy types and bosses.

Ticket

Ticket

Don’t let the initial presentation fool you - this is an incredibly creative 2D platformer with unique visuals and an outstanding soundtrack. My first playthrough, I constantly found myself saying “the next level couldn’t get any weirder than this” only for the game to do just that.

The only caveat is that some levels are a bit obtuse and frustrating to figure out without a guide - but that’s something you can find easily enough.

– Real player with 30.8 hrs in game

Ticket is the product that challenges your preconceived notions of what games are about. It is certain that the so-called seriously taken game reviewers would not be able to give acclaim to this game, as it does not follow the conventional rules of high quality game design. This tells about the sad state of gaming industry rather than about Ticket though. If you are the person who thinks that good games follow strict rulesets of certain design-economic and mathematically measured criteria and are usually some sports titles followed by a running year number or the latest installment of a well-established series, then Ticket might not be for you.

The Ditzy Demons Are in Love With Me

The Ditzy Demons Are in Love With Me

TL;DR: You won’t find a story if you’re looking for one. But if all you want are part slice-of-life and part romance and all the fluff, you’ll enjoy this one.

The Ditzy Demons Are in Love With Me is one of the longer VNs I’ve played, thanks to the sheer amount of content in each of them.

(mild-major spoilers ahead as I elaborate.)

The first half of the game (the common route) describes the daily life of the MC and the heroines in a more slice-of-life goofy style. Each of the girls have sufficient time spent exploring their exterior character:

When the entire underworld loves you.

Preclaimer
  • This is an Adult Visual Novel, which is why I consider the R18 DLC part of the whole and will include it in this review. If, for whatever reason, you aren’t interested in this kind of content or aren’t legally allowed to play it, you should look for another game.

  • Since many Visual Novels are similiar in a bunch of ways, I’m gonna review this one on a few common aspects, trying to both include references to other VNs and give independent explanations.

Drip-drop… she is coming for you…

TW: graphic content, horror elements

Game’s premise:

**_You play as a typical attractive main character who appears to be tired of daily dose of love confessions coming from fellow schoolgirls.

After rejecting one more girl being close to bringing upon you her romantic confession, you stumble upon an odd dressed girl outside of school who seems to have been taking a look at you for a while, maintaining her distance.

After bringing to you some questionable information about having intentions of keeping you safe and spelling a so-defined-by-her spell on you, she leaves you stating that you will find her punctually after school at the same spot._**

– Real player with 2.5 hrs in game

Wet Steps takes you for a short yet intriguing ride with some rather nice horror elements. It’s well-paced despite being so short and provides you with different endings that are quite good. However, it’s not without faults.

First things first, the writing could use some work. Now, the description is pretty decent and has character – which is kind of vital as it’s written in first person. However, it does something strange, and after consulting several people on it we all agree: the italics for thinking makes no sense. If the text was written in third person for the description and so on, putting italics on thinking would be understandable here. But since it’s already in first person, it instead disrupts the writing.
