Lost in Random™
As much as it pains my heart, I cannot recommend Lost in Random. While it started off as a visual feast for the eyes, embodying the art style of Tim Burton and feeling like playing a live-action version of The Nightmare Before Christmas, the game was clearly rushed to production, and its quality suffers heavily because of it.
Here are the major detractors for Lost in Random:
- Repetitive game play, lack of variety (the card mechanic and its related interface are unnecessarily difficult to navigate and, when you finally do figure out how it all works, you will get bored)

Lost in Random is a gorgeously crafted adventure in a fairy tale world, with lots of Alice:Madness Returns vibes and a Burton~esque art style.
Without spoiling much about the story, you live in the world of Random, a kingdom with 6 districts that’s being overseen & ruled by an Evil Queen. You control a cute girl named Even, searching for her sister Odd, which gets “abducted” in the beginning of the game by the Queen to her castle.

Erannorth Chronicles
I got this game for free because I won it as part of a modding contest for Erannorth Reborn. So I had to put effort into making the mod and win the contest. So it wasn’t really a handout.
This is the best deck builder RPG I ever played.
The character creation alone allows a degree of freedom that no other game like this can hope to achieve.
“A-Stranger” and “DaGibus” reviews already say pretty much of what I would say myself (and much better than I would too). So I will point at their reviews instead. Let’s just say I agree with them.

Edit: With the introduction of Pariah mode I’m having a lot more fun and feeling a good sense of progression. I’m getting some loot rewards that I can’t use yet which is a great motivation to keep going and get stronger. It was really tough to start out in that mode so I ended up starting in Quest mode until I felt I had good enough healing and crowd control to move my toon from the Book of Heroes to Pariah mode.
This is a really fun deck builder for people who love theory crafting and min/maxing character concepts. Many combinations of customization to explore. I like that you can play in different game modes so if you want to explore a world map you can do that, but if you’d rather just get to the tactical fighting you can run a gauntlet instead. You can also customize a lot of game parameters such as the number of enemies that will arrive in a typical encounter, etc.

Andor - Wrecking Dawn
Although Andor is not so competitive comparing to other hot card collection games, it is still a choice to take an easy free game in Andor. The true game can be start in hours after you know its rule by some detail introductions, and a good news is that basic cards (white and blue) is easy to get, as you can get tons of packs in many ways. I see this game still has problems, but they are willing to fix it if you report.
– Real player with 133.7 hrs in game
For playing several card games like Hearthstone, Faeria, ESL, etc. I must say that I enjoy my experience in Andor so far.
The game is very promising …
The graphics and the music are good. The gameplay works well and the system is original on some points like having to discard cards to get mana unlike the majority of games of the genre where it increases automatically every turn. The system of rows and lines of attack as well as that of spells and counterattacks are also aspects of the game that are new and enjoyable. Deck and strategy possibilities are many and varied. The single player campaign is quite long and already offers many challenges.

Deepest Chamber
2 days in is too soon to give a full evaluation, but I am certainly enjoying this early access game. It’s a crowded genre, and this game is not without its similarities to others. However there are stand out aspects to this game that I greatly appreciate. The enemy combat prediction is unlike I’ve seen before and very enjoyable to dive into for each of the classes. Each enemy has a variety of various abilities, each tied to its own cool down timer, and fully visible. Building my decks as i get to know the enemy better has been a joy to evolve.

Deepest Chamber is an interesting title, with great visuals mixing elements from Darkest Dungeons and Slay the Spire.
I agree with a lot of the reviews, both hoping to see the development of the game in the future, but also the negative side, such as lack of card synergy, trinket management and cluttered UI.
A downside I would like to add is the evolving difficulty.
- Whenever you complete a certain amount of kills of various enemies, you will be able to “unlock” them into more opponents you will meet in future runs.

Fate in the Darkness
As planned this is an RPG-sandbox in board game style, with a gothic fantasy atmosphere.
А living own life world, which you can interact through the game character, attended events, tasks and game deck.
The goal of this project is to port board game.
In this time the gameplay is a journey through the main game location.
This demonstrates the work I have done, from scratch.
The game is raw.
Core aspects such as: generation of game characters, map-pocessing algorythm, most part of AI logic and e.t.c. are mostly done. But still in need of optimization and content. Also there is a dungeon map-generator, but it’s unfinished and not integrated.
**Graphics will be changed and balance will be updated. Plenty of dialogs, events, tasks, items and objects are gonna be added.
Have in plans to add co-op up to 4 players and map-creation tools.**
Since it’s my pesonal project - I can change/add/delete any part of it if I see fit.
