Super Grave Snatchers
Raise the dead. Kill people. Raise them, too.
There are also spells like fireballs and soul tornadoes, if you don’t want your minions to have all of the fun.
Campaign is not long, but there’s a sandbox mode and a survival mode that you can unlock, also.

Super Grave Snatchers is a short, beautifully retro, necromantically witty and very engaging game.
The controls are simple enough, and fairly intuitive. On higher difficulties, the length of the game makes the creative permadeath fun rather than a chore (I recommend at least 2 Cheat Death items, because you basically have 1 HP). On lower difficulties, well, it’s a blast to just run around necromant-ing everything in sight. :D
As for the musical score - ::chef’s kiss::

Lucius II
After being in the Psych Ward for six months, the doctors decide shock treatment is the best for young Lucius and that’s where things go wrong. Sadly, you don’t get to see what happens next but judging by the blood on the walls and the dead body sitting next to you with the deliberator in his chest one can only imagine…
Unlike the first game where each person has a specific way they need to be sent to Hell, the sequel gives you the chance to explore the possibilities with a wide variety of deaths ranging from poisons, explosions, mind control murders, and flying oxygen tanks that are almost impossible to aim. My favorite kills so far have to be combining water on the floor with the deliberator, and using the nail gain which is pretty much a one-shot kill for each nail you have at your disposal. The hardest kill method is the oxygen tanks I’ve mentioned, because there’s no easy way to aim the sucks on the cart they use and the item keeps moving after you’ve stopped moving the cart. I could kill with a Dixie cup and some string easier than the tanks.

Things i liked:
-a few of the cutscenes
-the creativeness with kills
Things i Didn’t like:
-The audio mixing
-The voice acting
-The story
-The pacing
-The graphics
I would give this game 3/10. I bought this game when I was younger. I remember watching people like pewdiepie and other channels play through the first game. The first game had its issues but you were engaged with the story and the gory kills. The main issue was it’s linear nature. You didn’t have any freedom with your kills (this is important later on so remember this). In 2015 Lucius 2 came out. Youtubers played it, however not as many did compared to the first game. This was a sign. I watched pewdiepie play through it and it looked like fun. I bought this game for $2.99 in 2016. At the time I didn’t have a strong enough computer to run it. When I booted it up it would just be stuck on the tutorial with a terrible frame rate. There was also an error that would just crash the game and would let me close or uninstall the game. That is the reason why it says i spent 18 hours in this game that only takes two hours to beat. The year is 2020, I got a new PC and saw this game in my library and i figured it was time I finished what i started in 2016. I booted up the game and slowly began to realize the problems with this game. I was struggling to push myself to finish this game. I wasn’t able to finish it until 2021. I deleted it and considered giving up at least 7 times. You might be confused by that last statement. Is this game hard? hell no. It is just so hard to sit through. I kept wondering when it would be over and it never was (Of course there is an ending, that was just hyperbole). The story didn’t feel as intriguing as the first one. Unlike the first game your training wheels are off and you have complete freedom in what you can do. This is a major flaw of this game, with this freedom you begin to notice flaws. A mechanic this game features is lifelines. As you are being captured/caught you can use a lifeline to become free and you are given a chance to run. I don’t understand how many lifelines you have but this removes almost all the challenge in this game. I went back to watch pewdiepie’s series and i slowly noticed him not enjoying it as much and pointing out some of the games flaws. What happened to the game I saw when i was younger. I guess I was just stupid and overlooked things. I understand that they did the best that they could and I understand that the game company is rather small. However that doesn’t change anything, a bad game is a bad game. This is the low point in the Lucius series. Lucius was an interesting game that grabbed a lot of people’s attention with it’s unique premise and gory kills. Lucius 3 had laughably bad graphics and a weird convoluted story. This game is the worst thing any game could be, forgettable. I remember only two things. The first thing is the opening cinematic. The second is Cr1tikal. Yes, Cr1tikal the youtuber. He voices a character in the second to last level. Cr1tikal also voices a character in Lucius 3. Besides those two things, i can’t remember a thing. Duke Nukem forever is terrible but people remember it. Same goes for Mass effect Andromeda and anthem both were laughable bad and people still talk about the issues in those games to this day. If you want a game about killing and being stealthy pick up Hitman 2016, stay away from this game.

Lucius III
DISCLAIMER:
My 74 hours of playtime are pre-launch testing.
This game comes back to L1’s roots in two ways:
-
A focused, more cohesive narrative
-
Less sandbox and more linearity (which helps keep the game on track)
STORY:
-
The game feels like an interactive movie with it’s extended cutscenes and detailed dialogues between characters.
-
While on the long side, the cutscenes don’t outstay their welcome and are easily skipped via Esc button.
-
Some elements of the story (chapter 3) will leave you gawking. It’s undeniable that this small team has crazy ammounts of courage and would’ve had their game positively gutted by a big-name publisher.

The Devil’s Son or the Angel’s Advocate?
Before I played the game I was highly aware that the game was bugged but I dedicatedly finished the previous games and was curious on what would happen next. So risking my sanity and fear of bugs I started the game and was able to complete it while getting all achievements in the end.
In this game you follow the boy-devil in his brutal expeditions in completing the final assignment put to him by his notorious father. But would this final adventure make him the real devil or would it cleanse his soul? That is up to you to decide.

Darkestville Castle
This game was so much fun and I’ve found a new universe and lore that I enjoy!
It is a point and click game with great humor, abiet extremely dark humor. Some small memes and easter eggs too scattered throughout. It’s not exactly a kids game, due to some language and subject matter, but it’s not too extreme either. It heavily reminds me of the old Monkey Island point and click games, which is a good thing as those are classics.
I got it on sale for about $10, I don’t think I’d pay the full price for the game, as it’s lacking in some parts but for my $10 I was extremely statisfied with what I had. I got about 8 hours out of the game, but as with most point and click games I get stuck/just wanna experince the story so I started to use a guide. Some of the items to me feel like you wouldn’t even think about trying them, so I guess if you had time on your hands and randomly trying to click on everything you’d get longer than 8 hours out of the game, but still 8 hours is pretty long for a point and click game. Or maybe if you’re smarter than me you’ll get it done faster. There’s also alternate dioulague options which extend gameplay if you want to go back and try all of the options and not just click on the obvious ones relevant to the plot.

TL;DR
Darkestville Castle is a solid, albeit short and relatively easy, 2D point-and-click adventure game in the style of the 90’s classics like Day of the Tentacle and Curse of Monkey Island. Smooth gameplay and lots of campy humor provide a nice “in-between” snack for fans of the genre, although at full price, roughly 7-8 hours of gameplay and little replay value might be too little value-for-money for some.
Summary
The game puts you in the shoes of Cid, the demon of Darkestville, on a quest to defeat his arch nemesis, Dan Teapot. The game is divided into a prelude, three chapters (four if you count the final scene of the game) and two interludes, which will take you from Darkestville Castle to the town of Darkestville, and eventually to Hell. Along the way, you’ll encounter between roughly 30 to 40 NPC’s, somehow involved in the various puzzles the game offers, and pretty much all of them with extensive (and often funny) dialogues.

Fallen Angel
Lucifer has returned with only one thing on his mind – claim the seat from the old man. However, this will prove a daunting task. The gates to God are locked, and only the decapitated heads of the Archangels will open this lock. Time to get some payback on these self-righteous fools.
Devilishly fast action
The fast-paced combat, reminiscent of Wizard of Legend, is what initially drew my attention. And, I’m happy to report it passed with flying colours. Your first run should take about six hours, depending on how much you explore and how good you are at separating Archangels from their souls. One important thing I can’t stress enough - ⚠️**DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT PLAY THIS WITH A MOUSE AND KEYBOARD!**⚠️

UPDATE:
As time has gone on the game has gotten more updates, and bugs are continually being fixed. If you have tried the game previously and were turned off by minor things, please give it another chance. It’s a solid experience, and now at a standard price of $15, it’s even more worth it.
Oh man where do I start?
tl;dr
Fallen Angel is a great game and is definitely worth your time if you’re a fan of stylish-action/hack and slash style games. The combat may not be as in-depth as something like Devil May Cry, but it’s still a solid experience for being from such a small team.

Renditions of the Awakening
In active development since 2016, this is a first-person strategy game about summoning demons and toppling a civilization one castle at a time in order to re-live the story of the man who already did that. Gain the trust of that man - your jailor - by embellishing the details if you wish but the one thing you must do is become the new king while taking no lives with your own hands.
Some demons are stealthy; others not so much. Summon an army, manage them well and control the flow of information across the battlefield to catch Keeps and Castles unawares or poorly defended. But beware, the summoning process compels them to follow you around but that’s all - they still retain their own fickle personalities and will quit your service in the worst way possible if ever they stop having enough fun.

Lucius Demake
Lucius Demake is a bizarre 2-D, pixel art remake of an already bizarre series. Heavily influenced by Richard Donner’s 1976 horror classic, The Omen, Demake follows the young anti-christ as he wrecks havoc killing everyone who dares enter his mansion of hell. Utilizing clever puzzle solving, the game requires players to fully explore the mansion in search of items necessarry for each successful killing.
The project is an exact replica of the previous original except with digressed graphics, and a fantastic chip-tune soundtrack that perfectly captures the mood. However, despite its similarities, the core gameplay and exploration point of view has been condensed - drastically affecting the difficulty. No longer are players able to search each drawer and cupboard within each room in search of items. Instead, the essential items needed in order to progress are often found in the chapter starting point (bedroom), or casually sitting beside where they will be needed. It greatly shortened the experience, and I was able to complete the game in its entirety in just about 3.5 hours - unlocking every trophy along the way.

This Game is Killing it
Setting:
You’ll probably know the story of Lucius if you consider to buy this demake version. But anyways you get born on a stormy day on the 6th of June 1966 as the son of Satan and you have to kill literally everyone who lives or works in your family home.
Content:
The game contains 18 chapters in which you have to solve some not that hard riddles and finally kill the people by manipulating objects, controlling minds, or just kill them with fire.

BDSM: Big Drunk Satanic Massacre
This is an enjoyable shooter chock full of rudeness, lewdness and dudeness. Definitely not for all audiences.
We play as Lou, the son of Satan and join him on his quest to reclaim Hell from the hordes of humans who have come for all the debauched pleasures on offer. Mostly these pleasures are fast food and sex. In order to save Hell from the invaders, Lou takes an arsenal of weaponry and blasts everything that moves into little tiny human or demon chunks.
The most obvious talking point of the game is it’s 18 rated content. There is a bevy of booze, drugs, rock n' roll and sexual references that definitely aren’t for all ages. A downloadable content patch removes censorship, but if you are easily offended, the game is not designed for you anyway and really having censorship is a moot point. Playing as the son of Satan, we shouldn’t be expecting a saintly protagonist. You will be shooting loads, in more ways than one.

For many players, the genre “twin-stick shooter” is a synonym for difficult games that mix fast-paced, long-range attacks, close-range mobs, and giant bosses with tons of health. BDSM is definitely a twin-stick shooter, but I wouldn’t say that this game is difficult. That’s because there are plenty of ways to abuse the combat system, in addition to a special ability called rage; (filled by defeating foes), that gives invulnerability and a lethal laser that overkills ANY enemy! It fits the game’s lore, but it’s unfair to the mechanics of the genre. You’ll never need to worry about ammunition, either: Almost everything in the environment is destructible. And since there’s a default weapon with infinite ammo, you’re covered even if you run out.
