Unferat
An amazing game, the village feels alive and everyone does there own thing. the magic system is complex and a little tough to master making you feel like your not just saying words, your saying arcane spells that are easy to mess or screw up. you are not a combat mage. you are a summoner, necromancer, alchemist, warlock. the entire strategy of the game is planning. knowing how and when to strike. do you gather an army of the dead and storm the town, slowly pick them off with poisons, make the forest and roads impassable with evil trees so they slowly starve. or make a portal to hell that there own deaths will fuel. its a wonderful game that allows for a bunch of different play styles. i am waiting for more from this wonderful dev

Behold!
Honestly this is a very simple game. But simplicity does not equal boring.
The game is basiclly a fun little twin stick shooter with chaotic and metal feeling to it’s gameplay.
It’s not complicated and it’s not hard to understand.
It’s just simple fun.
The game is incredibly cheap, so thats all i could ask for 3

The Basics:
Nice pixel art, rocking music, funny sounds, satisfying death animations :)
Xbox 360 controller works nicely.
The game should run on any toaster of your choice.
The Gameplay:
You are a monster which breaks loose between two armies, your task is to survive by wiping out said armies.
Waves of diverse enemies will be thrown against you ranging from several kinds of melee guys to archers to mages and (mini)bosses like giants, minotaurs etc.
You will shoot 4 kinds of rays (picked randomly, 1-2 at a time) with different effects to kill stuff. Furthermore you can jump granting you invincibility while in mid-air and crushing enemies beneath you when you come down (has a cooldown). Finally you will eat enemies whom you touch replenishing your health by 10 each time (again beware the cooldown).

Kharon’s Crypt - Even Death May Die
This game is genuinely good and deserves all the attention. Whether you’re an old-school lover or you’re new to the genre and style, this game will surprise you. The team has worked very hard on the game and the result is a good game.
It will be out of early access when the devs are sure there are no catastrophic bugs or crashes. It will also come out on Switch!
The game itself is very inspired in old gameboy dungeon crawler titles and while it might feel difficult at first glance once you get used to the mechanics and controls it’s not that difficult. I believe everyone should give it an honest try!

The game is really fun and challenging, the music is awesome and it gives og the perfect vibe. The lore is suprisingly detailed and it’s worth reading it all.
! I think it’s a little funny, that you see a cute slime, and then the necronomicon says it’s human pulp.

Iratus: Lord of the Dead
Grinding and RNG are what the game is about. Clear levels several times on different difficulties, facing the same enemies with slightly harder stats. If you find achievements important, consider that you’ll also need to spend $15 USD or whatever Wrath of the Necromancer happens to be going for or order to get 100% achievements in the base game list because it requires the DLC.

42 hours in this game. I’ve finished one campaign in normal difficulty, so:
-
The game is good.
-
Combat is quite tactical and interesting,
-
If you’re not into difficult games in this genre, the normal difficulty is fine (it can be quite challenging but you should allways have enough ressources to overcome if you messed up). Otherwise, I can foresee that higher difficulties can give a good challenge.
Also:
- One campaign is quite long. 6 floors and each floor took me a few hours on my first run. Not a problem in itself, but I was surprised as the game was loosely classified as “roguelike” therefore I expected shorter time for one run. I can however see that these very long runs can be a turnoff for some players, so I mention it.

Overlord II
I’ll order by pros, cons, summary and conclusion to make this as uniform and readable as remotely possible. Spoilers have been omitted out of respect for those with prying eyes.
+Minions are as nuts and jovial (albeit only to you/allies) as they’ve ever been
+Absolutely gorgeous visuals compared to the first game
+More original comic remarks from Gnarl and your mistresses to keep you chuckling, along with the hilarous antics of others complimenting the overall tone of the satisfying precipice to the game’s inevitable cessation

I enjoy the Overlord series. A mix of high fantasy and parody that’s only a few pedophilic steps shy of Xanth, you play as the titular Overlord, an evil master of a swarm of multi-colored minions, who sweep across a fantasy world, sewing death and destruction in your wake. You control your Overlord and your minions simulatinously, walking across the battlefield, slinging spells and swinging your weapon of choice, while your minions fill a cannon fodder role, exactly as willing to run into the heart of an impossible fight for you, as they are to put anything and everything they can find upon their heads.

Tyranny
Oppression, whether as fiction or as reality, seems unavoidable no matter how Tyranny is associated as it is difficult to love this game despite how players (and possibly Obsidian) feel pressured to accept its rulings. It will remain a mystery whether Obsidian had set their ambitions too high, again, and they were forced to release the game early, or if Paradox’s meddlesome content updates and DLC “expansion” model soured its reputation. After a year of patches, DLCs—which claim to be expansions—and hundreds of hours to see what Tyranny has to offer, the overall value remains questionably excellent. As a result, I can only recommend Tyranny on a steep discount or in a GOTY bundle to get the definitive experience. This is an act of kindness towards its crimes that allows players to enjoy all that Tyranny’s reign has to offer while also avoiding to give it the axe.

i make it short. its a love/hate relation. if they would fix some combat elements i would write a glowing review for it. as you see i am nearly 100 hours into the games so i definitely love some aspect. the reason why i cant recommend it right now are some combat related flaws where it will depend entirely how much youre willing to take if this game will work for you or not.
the +
- story aspects. its obsidian. expect nothing more than a world living up to its lore where every decidion has an impact on the story. thats awesome. thats the main reason we are here.

The Unliving
The realm of the living has been corrupted to its core and a storm is coming to change the world order. This storm is you, a mighty Necromancer, a sorcerer who denies death and leads the legions of the dead. Clerics and lords hope to hide behind high walls, but there’s no stronghold to cover them from your wrath. Smite hundreds of those standing in your way and turn them into your tools on the way to a greater purpose.
The Unliving is a dynamic rogue-lite action RPG with strategic elements. Raise the undead, use numerous spells and explore a mystical world, all realised with darkly extravagant pixel-art.
TURN ENEMIES INTO YOUR UNDEAD ARMY
Each fallen foe can be resurrected and added to your army to create unlimited legions of the dead. These re-animated creatures have their own unique abilities, such as the undead Priest whose blessings in life, will now curse your enemies in death.
CRUSH EVERYONE IN YOUR WAY
Only some of the living are helpless victims, the rest can retaliate against your forces. They hold the line, move in large groups and wield powerful abilities too. They cherish their lives and will not fall easily, so unleash hell as the Undead Lord to bring them to their knees.
CONQUER UNCHARTED LANDS
The world is randomly generated for each run and is richly populated with an array of creatures, artefacts, secret rooms and deadly traps. Each part of the world is occupied by a variety of living inhabitants - invade villages and slay feeble peasants to reinforce your army or engage in a desperate fight to the death in the swamps against formidable foes.
UNRAVEL THE MYSTERIES OF NECROMANCY
Collect cryptic notes, force answers out of your enemies and study the writings of the ancient artefacts to gather the lost memories of the Necromancer piece by piece as you reveal the nature of his immortality, the secrets of his phylactery companion and find out the grim truth about the supreme hierarchies of the Church.
BATTLE EPIC BOSSES
The powerful creatures of this shadowy world will do all they can to stop you. Each boss has a unique fighting style and set of abilities, meaning deftness in combat and strategic thinking will be crucial in emerging victorious from these grueling encounters.
DIE AND RISE AGAIN
The ability to deny death itself is the greatest secret of the Necromancer. Another mortal strike is merely a setback for him. Take a lesson from your death and don’t let your enemies catch you the same way twice.
DARK FACETS
“Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away”- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
This game is, thus, just about perfect.
It feels like one of those tower defense games from a dozen years ago, or maybe one of those games from the eighties where the ideas of the writers far exceeded the capability of the gameplay and graphics (like Might and Magic: Book One), or maybe a demo that comes on the cd of a full game (fun, but it leaves you wishing for more than what the limited experience provides), or maybe that one poorly-translated foreign game with a strangely-intricate storyline you got from a garage sale twenty years ago that you wish you still had so you could explain to people why you like to pretend “funceame” is a real word.

I was expecting Dark facets to be similar to the old flash games like Age of War or Stick Wars; And it was! Only much more boring. Age of war and Stick Wars had a fairly fast play style, but dark facets is incredibly slow paced. It takes a long time for resources to gather, a long time for units to march, longer to kill enemy units, even longer for your units to chip away at an enemy building. Then they just have to move to the second building (Of five). It feels less like i’m playing a game, more like watching a series of gifs that i switch between occasionally.
