Planets Battle - This is a copy of the game - Battle for Sea 3D. The problems of this game are the same - poor AI, a crooked camera, poor design and an overpriced game.
This game will not even be played for free.
I do not advise her to buy, a waste of money.

Agarest: Generations of War 2
Agarest: Generations of War 2 is the third installment of the Agarest series, which are coming from the Playstation 3 console. It’s a tough RPG with many different elements from another ones of its type, and it’s really tough to learn to play. And it has dating sim elements, which are the main feature of the Agarest series.
Graphics
The graphics are ok, the characters animations are simple, like almost 16-bit animations, but when the characters speak with each other, their animations are a lot better, with good quality anime animations featuring their facial expressions while their dialogues are shown at the lower screen. Also, the CG pictures you earn through the game are really well done, showing the girls at sexy situations (but without any full or partial nude).

TL;DR Version
- I like the game but cannot recommend you playing as its a love it/ hate it kind of game. Proceed with research in hand before contemplating whether you should buy it (MasterLL’s channel has a playthrough of the PS3 version of his youtube channel if you want to see the game in action.)
Full thoughts
Ok so this is a weird one.
The game has a fun combat system that can take a little time to get your head around. The flashy attacks, and fluid sprite animations are a joy on the eyes. Despite the fact some attacks can take a silly amount of time to complete, you may just end up never skipping them because they are so over the top, they’re fantastic. Japanese anime like attacks at their finest.

Pendula Swing - The Complete Journey
Pendula Swing is a very beautiful game, and I really loved the way that it combined fantasy with the roaring 20s and how it delved into everything from sexuality and gender with datable male and female characters to disability issues and even class and race issues.
I think my overall problem with the game, though, is that it does so very shallowly. It touches on and represents all of these different and important topics, yet never really goes in-depth related to any of them. Additionally, character and relationship development also feels a bit more shallow as well, based on pick and choose sets of dialogue options that make said development feel more rigid and rote than organic. There are immersion elements and story development areas that could be stronger.

I was looking forward to this game and I really tried to like it, but I just can’t, in good conscience, give it a good review. The concept is great, but sadly, was poorly executed in this game.
Everything the dev tried to achieve with this game is just so half-a$$ed, to put it simply. It mixes American 1920s culture with a fantasy setting, but it doesn’t actually fully capture 1920s culture. It captured the essence and aesthetics of it that people like about it, but in reality, that’s such a small portion of what the 1920s were like.

Agarest: Generations of War
Since this is currently my longest played games on Steam and maybe you won’t find a person with a longer hours count in the review section, I think I am kind of obligated to give this game a bit of review. The recommend vs not recommended system on Steam is fundamentally flawed. I would only point out what kind of games this is, and you decide for yourself whether you like it or not.
1. This is the type of “Wikia for the win” game. Don’t let my hours count fool you. I spent at least 50+ hours on researching for all the tricks, crafting and story route on Wikia. And this is very typical of your old-school RPG or JRPG in general. You need to do homework, you need to do research. The hours you spent outside the game is MUCH MUCH more important than your gaming hours. If you are the kind of person who just go and immerse yourself in the game world and you don’t care much about research game mechanics, this is bad for you.

After 213 hours and reaching the “normal” ending, it’s time for a review. To start with, it wasn’t a perfect experience. The game is rough around the edges and you should only buy it if you enjoy grinding a lot. There’s plenty of it. Endless hours of mandatory leveling and gathering materials. But Agarest has enough redeeming traits to make up for this.
Short version
-

-
lots of fan service

huge selection of characters

nice character animations and good music

Super Army of Tentacles: (Not) A Cthulhu Dating Sim
Humanity was destined to fall. Your people, the Great Old Ones, were legends among the humans. Tales were told about their might, and whispers rose of how they would one day claim the entire human planet as their own. Of how mankind would simply go insane at the very sight of their malevolent beauty. Finally, the day came for the armies of the unspeakable horrors to rise.
Like, that was it, though. They got their butts kicked. Humanity won. Somehow. It was really, really embarrassing.
Play as a young monster who has only ever known life under human rule. Between finals for University and figuring out who to take to the winter prom, not to mention memorizing your lines for the big school play, you already have a lot of pressure to deal with. Now add the destiny of freeing the Dreamlands from an occupying army. That’s rough. In addition to the school year, now you have this whole giant RPG adventure to go on, complete with quests and stats and skills and party members and blah blah blah!

很不错的游戏。建议买来试试玩，非常喜欢。。

Interesting little time management/dating sim game. The art and sprites are pretty original. There are a few points that could be polished and maybe add some saucier H features, but overall its quality is above other chinese games of the genre. I believe this is the first title published on Steam by the dev, I’m certainly in for future releases or more DLCs for this title.

Your amazing T-Gotchi!
This game is AWSOME! If you are a gamer like me who loves games like Doki Doki Literature club and Danganronpa, (Basically games that have mature topics like death) then I definitely recommend this game for you! Its short but sweet, and its pretty cute. The Tamagotchi you are taking care of has a sweet personality and can be a little possessive (fine a lot but still who can blame her) To be honest, its not worth the 5 dollars, so try to get it on sale (I got it at 50% off). As I said above, it looks like a cute game so if you are looking for exactly that, I do not recommend you play it. Happy playing!

well, this game was certainly an interesting mental test and an exercise to futility…
(SPOILERS BELOW)
it was an emotional rollercoaster, and while at first i had hopes of giving her a happy or a better ending, all (early) attempts ended in disaster.
then, i tried to earn the other achievements, so i had to treat her badly in order to complete the games achievements.
it was a very thought provoking game, and it got into some very dark places.
its strange how you see a digital character, a character that doesnt exist, and yet it can cause you so much sadness when she suffers or when she is feeling hopeless and alone/depressed.

Demonheart: Hunters
If I loved the first one deeply, this sequel disapointed me so I cannot recommande it, even if I enjoyed so much the prequel.
The good things :
-
We find back everyone, Ari, the Raze and Brash. I though we’ll meet Tunes another time as we see ihim n the trailer but he takes no part in the new senario.
-
Nothing change for Bright, she can still be good or bad, defiant or kind and can flirt with the recurent characters from the prequel.
-
All characters had kept their original personalities and way to speak, Ari is still a kind witch loving everything speaking about demon, Brash is still the cold obsessional knight deeply in love with you, Raze is still a childish demon looking for attention, but they also changed and it feels like they matured with past adventures.

Initially, I wasn’t going to write a review for this game. I expected to play it, like it, and move on because I generally have a hard time explaning why I like things. But this is a very difficult case. Something I’m really struggling with after playing Hunters is this thought: was Demonheart actually bad all this time and I refused to notice because I… liked it?
After playing through this game 4 times going on 5th, I find that I have less and less good things to say about it. So let’s first get one thing out of the way. Do I recommend you buy and play Hunters? …Yes. Even yesser if you have played the prequel and liked it. I would be lying if I said I didn’t have fun on my first playthrough. I would be lying if I said I hated the addition of combat, exploration and flower gathering for ability upgrades on my first playthrough. No, I actually loved all of that. On my first playthrough. Which took me somewhere around 8-9 hours to complete with me taking my time, exploring everything, disarming each and every trap, picking every single flower I could find and killing all the mobs I could reach with my shiny poisoned daggers.

Heads Will Roll
Summary: A text-based RPG with static graphics, but beware that even on normal difficulty it is challenging and has a high degree of randomness, which is just as it should be for a game about a mediaeval foot soldier. If you are OK with that then give it a go, its a lot better than one of those walking simulators that pretend to be RPGs these days.
Summary for those who have played A Legionary’s Life: The obvious differences are that HWR has graphics and you can save and reload, but the main gameplay difference is that in LL an attack only costs stance/energy if you miss, while in HWR it always costs stance/energy. Hence in LL you often end up just making the same low-risk attack every turn, whereas in HWR you can’t do that, and this plus the varying attacks for different weapons makes combat in HWR more varied than in LL.

A lot of game for the money.
A hybrid cross between a “Choose Your Adventure” and a single character, turn-based battler.
It’s an engaging mix and when it works, it works quite well.
Unfortunately, the game is quite buggy. I have yet to make it through an entire run without encountering a game breaking bug ( usually at the end of a battle ). Since you can’t save during battle, you are sometimes forced to replay the same battle multiple times. This can be tedious or frustrating depending the difficulty and length of the battle you have to repeat.
