Heart in the Dark
The story accompanies the alchemist and magician Leonidon on a journey through time.
During a magical ritual a dimensional gate accidentally opens and Leonidon is dragged into the portal and lands in a distant future where machines dominate.
There is a millennia-old conflict in which the machines try to change the planet to optimal conditions, but nature has its ways to defend itself, unfortunately the machines are slowly gaining the upper hand. But when Leonidon appeared in this dimension, he had to realize that he was the last man of flesh and blood. Then he decided to use the last reagents that had been drawn into this dimension to create a sword in a magical ritual that was powerful enough to free the souls trapped in the machines.

Anima : The Reign of Darkness
The Opposite of PoE!
Playing Path of Exile since 8/2011, it slowly derailed for me from hack and slash to build (or better copy) , buy , and now study bossfight phases and anounced abilities.
If you want to go back to the roots and frag some stuff 2 sec. after you logged in and dont want to plan heists or syndicates or 10 other timewasters - this may be your game for the next hours.
pro:
-
copied the right stuff from 20 other games for a unique feel
-
nice Itemsystem ( merge the stats of 2 items and upgrade items 40x 5% in Power)

This game is an ode to the original ARPG’s like the original Diablo. It’s a ton of fun and I’ve blown almost 10 hours into it already and seems like I’ve been playing for a couple hours tops. The drops are fun and even has lower level legendary and set items to loot and at just a bit over $10.00 is well worth the price. So far at early leveling I have one large tower like dungeon with
many different levels to explore and quests given in town with merchants and NPC. It’s a fun
game and I see a lot of mixed reviews. I think considering the price and the fun it’s well worth $10+

Grim Dawn
This is one of the best Action RPGs ever made.
You will not regret buying this, especially on discount which occurs pretty often.
The developer, Crate entertainment, supports this game even now, even when everyone thought the game reached its pinnacle of updates and polishing, there was a patch with tons of pages of fixes & changes for the better recently.
No microtransactions, no stealthy practices, this developer is simply what every other developer should be. And every expansion is massive and adds tons of content for the price.

To me the most atmosphereic of the ARPG games. I am weird but I just was never into D2 very much and I had the disk version and got the missing DLL bug after about 6 months..
But back to GD. Of course there is a grind. And I use that word properley because you are gonna have to do the same areas more than once to handle other areas. not too bad though. The sound is great, I LOVE the music but some dont. The effects are top notch imo. The graphics are gorgeous imo. But I dont own any next gen games so…

BERSERK and the Band of the Hawk
DO NOT BUY this game unless you are a huge Berserk fan (buy it on sale).
Cons:
-Its a game focused on extreme repetition, killing and killing thousands of extremely weak masses of enemies. Slash, repeat, slash repeat every single level.
-You need to play it on hard right from the start to find it a little bit more enjoyable and even then it is almost impossible to lose in any scenario.
-Scenarios have nothing special on them, they are closed, completely plain and need no exploration at all. Very repetitive.

This is a game for Berserk fans, if you’re after a more filled out hack and slash game there are better options out there. I enjoyed myself playing this title but I’m an old Berserk fan. Like similar games in the genre it can get boring once you beat the story and try out the other modes just slashing apart humans & monsters repeatedly, the different play styles of characters and the various objectives do make it more interesting, and it is a great title like others in the genre to play while watching or listening to something on the side.

In Darkness
I’m liking this game so far. I rarely do reviews but I thought I would on this game. I thinks it’s quite unique and being a Ratling is different kind of character that personally like. Most evrything seems to be wrapped up pretty tight and the fact that it’s early access means more on the way. Keep up the good work.

Camera feels very close to the ground and at a very steep angle, makes me feel like im staring at the dirt.
Please add an option for camera distance at least.
Also the first mission in the air ship is buggy as hell, keep getting stuck on nothing and dying.
Other than that, pretty good game.

Lichenvale
There are dreams and there are nightmares. There is death and there are swords and spells to stove it off. What will you do when dark specters come for you tonight? Players find themselves in the role of a young woman who is being trapped in her own nightmares. Can you find your way through the labyrinths of darkness, or will you be trapped forever?
Inspired by 90’s hits like Hexen and Quake, Lichenvale is a first person hack and slash offering: fast-paced melee action mixed with the tactical use of spells and dashing around your enemies. This singleplayer title will feature a story mod with up to 10 maps full of various progressively difficult mobs, regional and main bosses, as well as some light puzzling. Those seeking an adventure are awaited in the New Game+ mode.

The Spirit
Played a fair amount of the game and shows tremendous promise, if you’re a fan of a the Diablo series or into rogue-likes this one is for you. Graphically pleasing to the eye and immersive levels keep you invested! The game is promising with much more to come!

All right so I will say this, I do recommend this game. I would like to see a few changes to enhance the fun and difficulty of it. 1. The enemies need a buff, I really only had a challenge at the very end of the game. 2. the save for equipped weapons and items needs to be fixed, not game breaking because you find enough loot to replace them. I did have fun and it was entertaining, and for the price you cant really ask for more. The game is overall short, but again fun, so that is what matters. I want to see more from Dark Faction Games!

Midjungard
NOTE Sometimes depending on the amount of players you’ll be put into a game with wrong teams(everyone is blue for example). In this case PRESS THE SEMICOLON (;) key to change teams. Everything works normally after that.
This is an amazing game!! It’s a fantasy hack and slash pvp. It really is reminiscent of Tolkien. You can choose from three avatars, a huntress, a swordsman, or a smith, and all three have different capabilities. It’s first team to seven points, or the game ends after 15 minutes. Check it out, for 10 dollars it’s worth well above it’s price. For anyone who likes fantasy or knows someone who likes fantasy, buy this game!!!

This game is amazing! It’s really fun, with only a few changes I would like to see. First of all, the matchmaking is a little bit inconsistent. Sometimes when I loaded in it was only me in on open world, while other times I was with players. Also, when you load in all players will be on the blue team (this is a bug and will be fixed). So, a temporary fix is to press the “;” key, which changes the team. Other than those few issues, the game look beautiful and is extremely engrossing!

Axilon: Legend of Artifacts - Prologue
Ok, so after playing through this three times i think some words can be said.
At first do not expect a game in an early state. It feels more like a Techdemo with a rough concept and if you judge it with this fact in mind, you get something quite enjoyable for a half an hour.
Overall you have three levels, each different with setting and the graphic is quite nice.
The combat system can be frustrating cause it feels clonky, same with the overall movement but if you can get behind the flaws and check how to avoid damage (the shield depressed me, just step back and attack after enemys swingy swings) it is ok and playable.

Buckle up it’s going to be long review.
First of I have been following this developer group - AzDimension for a while and right of the gate I wanna say - guys focus on one game, your team is small already and it shows in quality of games.
Now for the Axilon. I played game in English and Azerbaijani versions.
Positives
-
Actually nice for what is essentially basic demo MVP (Minimum Viable Product)
-
Graphics are pretty looking but cave seems huge downgrade except for rocks inside
