ARKOS
Prefer Watching?
Otherwise Keep Reading! :)
Remember when games used to be insanely difficult and you’d end up getting stuck on a level for days until you eventually beat it and felt like a god for a straight week?
Well Arkos reminds me of that, not just because of its unforgiving approach to difficulty and level design where it often just tosses you head first into the deep end of a lava filled room, but also in the way it looks and sounds, because it’s intended in every way to be a modernized recreation of classic FPS games like DOOM and Heretic, mixed with modern voxel based physics, destructible environments and a custom soundtrack that’s easily worthy of the greats.

Arkos plays just like the old shooters with more colorful setting and destructible environment. It’s a shame it offers just a little delicious slice instead of serving the whole cake.
It’s a good thing you don’t play these games for the story because there isn’t much of one here. The Wanderer, the game’s protagonist, must collect ancient weapons and overcome dungeon guardians. This is the only info you’ll acquire, save from a single scroll with a few phrases at the start of each world.

Dungeons & Bombs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmBW_QWMS_o
A neat, little sokoban puzzle platformer game with crates and bombs as the title suggests. Go through the various levels and rescue the hot bearded princess. Difficulty-wise, it varies nicely over the course of the game with the 50 or so levels getting slightly harder as it progresses. New additions of obstacles makes it fresher and keeps it fun. The puzzles themselves does get you thinking with having to make the moves taken within the levels matter in order to proceed and reach the end of the levels. From alternating pop-up spikes to various dungeon monsters, there are a lot of things to face. Of course, with there being bombs, bombs and more bombs, there are a ton of explosions. Visually, it looks quite cute with the little characters and design of the game. The music and audio is also a great combination with the arcadey and retro type which makes it kinda feel more oldschool. Price is cheap enough being only a dollar, after having a price reduction, so it is worth a try for those interested in a cute, little puzzle game. Those into the sokoban genre is also in for a treat. So overall, is nice little buy.

I had a lot of fun with this game! Fast paced action, good amount of different weapons, funny characters… Despite the simple art style, it also looks gorgeous (I’m in love with some of the light effects). You can thoroughly customise the difficulty with several sliders in Options, where you can also find some helpful accessibility choices.
Some good hours of button smashing fun watching enemies fly all around, and a bit more strategy needed against tougher enemies or particular combinations of them. Some collectibles, hidden stuff, secret ending… Long story short, great indie and good value for your money. As I always say, if it gives you more hours of entertainment than a cinema ticket, it deserves at least that money, right?

This game appeared on my store page and the name caught my attention. After seeing that the game wasn’t that much I decided to buy it, and I can say the game is definitely worth the price. If you ever just want the ability to rip through hordes of enemies and just feel the satisfaction of taking out a large group of minions at once then this game differently achieves that.
One thing for certain is that you need to have patience since some of the bosses are pretty challenging. But with enough perseverance, you can beat any of the bosses. This game is a 10/10 for me and even though I have beaten the game to 100% I am definitely going to play more.

I absolutely love this game. I find it very relaxing. Well, maybe not relaxing… as it also gives me anxiety. Let me explain: this game lights up every single one of my OCD receptors. Straighten up a room? Yes, please! Pick up all the trash? Ding, ding, ding! Remove/fix problems? Now we’re cooking with gas! Pick up all the “whatever” of that specific group? Bingo! Yahtzee! We’ve got a winner!
And then the anxiety sinks in: I am way too excited about this. This is giving me waaaaaay too much joy. I may need to find a therapist. This can’t be normal.
