Despot’s Game: Dystopian Army Builder
Catch of the game is the PvP ladder. After you beat the last boss, your winning team will be matched against teams of other players in the king of the hill ladder. This adds so much replayability to already amazing looking and all around solid game. Even if RNG plays a big part, there seems to always be new strategy to beat the top dog in a rock-paper-flamethrower-scissors way. Atleast so far in early access each season brings new balance, new enemies and new mutations to play around, so meta keeps changing and it makes the game feel fresh.

This game, like most autobattlers, suffers a huge issue from the AI being extremely basic.
Everyone only running forward and attacking, regardless of what class they are. Your healers with no attack and 2 armor charge the enemy as brazenly as your tanks, and will have a higher speed then they do so they have to go pretty far back behind them to not reach the enemy before your tanks.
Then there is every unit’s way they use abilities, when they get into a certain range of the opponent they just use it, regardless if they’re in range or not.

The Happy Little Virus
Disclaimer: A copy of this game was provided by the developer.
The Happy Little Virus is a top down shooter with dark humor.
You play as a virus and the objective in every level is to steal the data. Killing all the enemies isn’t required as you can sometimes rush around them. There are a total of 6 weapons to be unlocked, but only 3 of them end up being relevant due to their range and one of them sometimes bugs out. Some levels feature replicators that spawns other viruses that count as extra lifes if you die, they can be told to follow, stay or you can swap to them.

I got this game for free to show it to my community on stream. At first I was very skeptical however we had great fun. I have not played the complete game until the end so I cannot judge how the story would end and how many maps you would have to beat.
What to expect from the game?
A top down shooter with a cynical story plot and several details in text which could actually be out of real life if you think about it. You have to get used to the controls and it is certainly not a game where you can just rush through every map even if you are tempted to do that.

Brrrainz: Feed your Hunger
This game is Brutal!! But oh so satisfying. It is not a game you can just grab your horde and mindlessly attack enemies. It’s a game in which you literally need to plan your attack. It took me forever to pass the second level. Mistaking it for a casual game I attempted what I call “Lazy Playing”. I just kept dying x_x
However, when I started putting a little bit of thought into it I was able to finally advance and then some! The gameplay is pretty refreshing and I’m enjoying it a lot! Highly recommended!

Fatal Paws
Is your cat a murderhobo?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5cDk-cDNiI
If you want to be spoiled, go ahead and watch my video. Fatal Paws puts you into the role of a jaded teacher who picks up a stray cat from another planet. Dive into Pokemon style cat-vs-human fights in-between an overly dramatic plot that makes about as much sense as a bad horror movie. As a tribute to Fickle Sickle’s cat, it’s touching. As a game to buy, I can’t recommend it. But if you decide to, there is a cat video waiting for you at the end.

OMG this game is so fun and so cute. If you are a cat lover you will enjoy this game.

Margonem
Oh boy. This is weird to review. First off, this game is a niche Polish browser MMO. Lots of people on the original web Polish servers. Not so much here. As you can imagine, there’s not a lot of international players. Most people (who already played/still play the Polish version) are Polish. Not that it’s a bad thing, but the population is incredibly low.
For the game itself, it’s fun. It might be nostalgia speaking, as I played this game a lot when I was younger. Playing it now after so much time it’s still as it used to be, with some improvements in graphics and the UI.

Plusses and minuses in equal measure I think. But for me personally more on the minus.
Some of the plusses:
-
Simple and neat graphics.
-
Sandbox nature of the map is evident, and this gives a positive ‘adventuresque’ feel, which I like
Some of the negatives:
-
Text too small. Waaay too small.
-
Every other thing you want to do in the open world requires you to pop over to the Premium Store and burn a hole in your wallet. Don’t tag it as ‘FREE’ when it clearly isn’t - there is definitely a ‘FREEMIUM’ tag available I’m sure.

Endless Horde
Cheap, Challenging and Fun but lacks Developer support
Positives
-
Game Cards
-
Not one game/redo is the same (objectively you have to defend the scientist/s so they spawn at different locations)
-
Fun and short your not thrown into massive amounts of HUD
Negatives
- Bugs (as of writing this review)
*Zombies become immortal after a certain wave, 7 10 or 11
*Zombies AI paths wrongly, get glitched walking/stuck against walls, enter aggro/running mode even tho object isn’t in line of sight and is over the other side of the wall

I love the attempt on a fresh take on tower defense. We really need those attempts. Sadly, I don’t think it worked out very well this time.
Most commonly seen in tds you steadily build up your defenses and get stronger as you go. It’s about composition and timing.
But here it’s about losing all your stuff as slowly as you can. I know it’s a vague point of critique, but the constant feeling of impending doom; it’s not if you’ll lose but when, bundled with some pretty hectic mechanics. I feel scrolling around the map clicking loot-boxes before they disappear(!) is disappointingly boring, if not straight up awful gameplay.

Game Studio Simulator（我要做游戏）
I made a guide for switching to English, but I wouldn’t bother. I’ve played some machine-translated games and managed to enjoy them, but at least I could usually puzzle out what they meant. This is too incoherent to be playable, and shouldn’t have been released as available in English in this state.
On the other hand my eight year old found English like “eat chicken game then optimize performance” and choosing between “Dream come true” and “Happy to rude” utterly hilarious.
His input: “It’s rubbish English, isn’t it?” and a lot of laughter. He is right.

Game Studio Simulator is a nice game where you can build your own Studio and grow and grow with the time. I dont played much now, but the game is 10/10 ;)

Fluff labs
I actually tied out this game genuinely and the instructions in the tutorial can be slightly confusing, and the Transformer table is not labeled like the rest of the equipment which is a tad confusing.
The real main issue is though that when you submit the products at the end of the tutorial or the end of the first level the level end screen is completely bugged and doesn’t work, even on the tutorial.
Otherwise for a free game I was actually kind of digging the basic concept and somewhat silly story. Shame I couldn’t try the harder levels

Killer Bean
After being betrayed by the Shadow Agency and learning the truth about their evil ways, Killer Bean has made it his life goal to destroy them. Yet this is easier said than done, as Killer Bean will face armies of enemies, and mysterious Shadow Beans who are better trained and more powerful than him.
This is a third person, roguelike shooter. Every time you start a new single player campaign, everything changes. The locations change, the missions change, the characters change, the bosses change, and most of all, the story changes. Characters who you trusted before, may turn against you. Enemies who tried to kill you, may end up helping you. Simple missions can turn into deadly traps. No two campaigns are the same.

I received this game in part of a bundle with Evil Bank Manager (which I did enjoy).
If I had paid for this game separately, I would be upset, which is saying a lot considering it’s $1.99
There’s no actual point here.
Sure, your’re supposed to select actions to raise funds and overthrow the government, but it really makes no difference what you do eventually you win the game. In 1.7 hours I have beat the game three times (simply because I was missing one achievement and that was bothering me) and the end result was no different regardless of if I thought out my actions or just clicked through everything.
