Blood of Darkness

Blood of Darkness

Initially I expected more, but considering the cost of the game - I can say for sure that this is a pretty good choice of indie games if you are a fan of this genre.

If you’re not a fan of the genre - you can’t understand the game, but you won’t be dissatisfied, that’s for sure.

Of course, there are some bugs with textures, something like this, but the game is new and I think that developers will do everything to avoid the appearance of bugs for their players. Moreover, please add multiplayer game mode - it will be much more funny to play this game with friends.

Talking about the game personally - As for 2D shooter this game is really excellent, specific atmosphere, big attention to all details, many options.

It’s a real HARDCORE, as the game is very dynamic, permanent enemies and fights.

Furious Angels

Furious Angels

FA is a minimalistic, short and sweet arcade dogfighting shooter that is so much more than what you may think. Somewhat easy to get into, surprisingly hard to master.

Gameplay

Furious Angels (FA in short) is all about… blowing stuff up. While trying not to die. All while babysitting the helpless mothership. And of course, get a good looking score. Oh, and there’s no campaign, no story, no upgrade grinding. Only explosions. And scores.

Your goal - face the endless hordes of enemies that want you and your mothership dead. Losing either is a Game Over. Stay alive as long as you can, get that big big combo, but your fate is sealed before it all begins. You’ll lose. As for how, it’s up to you to decide.

I don’t write many Reviews.

I think most Games do not deserve, or need my opinion.

And I usually don’t feel well as an advertisement writer.

But this one game is different. For me, this is a hidden Gem.

This is the only game i play everyday for 5-10 minutes. Since more then a Year.

No other game got me hooked like this. I think I can say I like it a bit.

Maybe it is just a me-thing. Maybe it appeals just to my personal taste.

It is arcade-y, and in a way that makes it great … I love the Explosions.

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.

Great fun and 90s nostalgia!

Ok first off this isn’t the prettiest or biggest indie racer you can get right now, but it really delivers on the promise “old school arcade crash racing”. Those of us who played “Destruction Derby” 1 & 2 on the PSX will instantly recognize the subtle (or not so subtle) nods to those games. Gameplay is a little different though, not based on spinning cars but rather smashing them. It reminds me of the earlier “Flatout” titles and “Demolition Racer” in that regard.

Very very good Destruction Derby game ! The graphics are not spectacular but it’s 10 times better than the old 90’ties games, and the tracks are very interesting. The tracks changes a little bit with some added ramps and chicanes to make it more difficult (read: more crashes) every new championship!

The damage models are not so amazing but fair enough, but the cars are looking all almost the same.

The soundeffects are also good enough for me and the music is a retro house/acid ish, no metal or garage rock this time.

Do you remember enjoying or playing the old classic MISSILE COMMAND?!

..If you loved old school Missile Command like I did, then read no further, just go buy this little gem NOW!

I love, love, love this remake of the old classic city protection hit and this game made my new series I call “ZIG: Zaxtors Indie Gold” and earned it my rare “Must Buy!” recommendation!

Watch my “First Play on Launch Day” Zaxtors Indie Gold video right HERE:

Impressive and amazing first game for the single developer going under the name “Digital Software” and I look forward to seeing what he comes out with next after playing this amazing little indie gem!

Like the old school missile defence game.

Increasing difficulty as you progress through the levels.

Nice grapics that can really trick you sometimes with smaller asteroids emerging from the blast.

Неплохой клон Бомбермена, убить время, провести лампово пару вечеров под добротный чиптюн - самое-то. Однако, игра имеет ряд минусов, о которых нельзя не сообщить:

  • Главным минусом является управление. Персонаж очень медлителен, неповоротлив, а вместе с местными хитбоксами иной раз погибать приходилось очень глупо.

  • Уровни не генерируются рандомно или процедурно, они заранее заготовлены, соответсвенно, все поверапы лежат на одном месте. Так что можно просто запоминать где они, и при случайной гибели, пытаться пробираться уже сразу к ним.

Roarr! The Adventures of Rampage Rex

Roarr! The Adventures of Rampage Rex

Roarr! The Adventures of Rampage Rex isn’t dino-mite at all, and to be fair it’s pretty terrible. The graphics are just ugly, really ugly, It felt they were trying to create that old arcade game feel but it doesn’t do any wonders. And the gameplay gets repetitive really quickly and the controls are just awkward and hard to get used to. And the worst thing about this game is that Horrible music, the music is just agony and not only that it repeats over and over to the point where you feel that your ears are going to bleed. The story is simple and nothing special you play as Sue the T-rex who is woken up by an invading alien race who want to take over the world and it’s up to you to save it, not much to phone home about. Kids might enjoy the game but adults, meh, not so much at all. Rating: 1/10

This is a great game for the kids as a time waster. It’s even split screen coop if you want to play with them. The buttons are few so it’s easy for them to learn the controls. For $3 normal price / under $1 on sale, it’s worth it if you have kids that like to play.

Bacon Rebellion

Bacon Rebellion

Its worth its price of $4 but it doesn’t try to be worth anything more than that. No extra gamemodes, no multiplayer, no customization options to change gameplay, and no support for modding. This game was supposedly put on the backburner for 7 years and it was just dropped onto Steam with no marketing. Its likely that the developer just wanted this out of development limbo. Adding the fact that there’s only been two small updates in the past few months, its clear that there’s no more plans to add anything to this game any further.

Straight up just a fantastic and fun arcade twin stick shooter. If you like twin stick shooters go for it, if you don’t why even think about it.

Slab

Slab

I played this game for quite a while hours how could I not like it? Here comes the weird part I did for a bit. However, I am not recommending this game because quite frankly there seems to be a gross lack of effort by the dev of this game leading to the point of it being borderline unethical… also the bugs and oversights. So long story short just get a different game, it will play better and you won’t have to deal with this mess.

Glitches

So starting with parts the people just looking to play a game would be concerned about the bugs

Real player with 32.1 hrs in game

Slab is a rather mediocre 50 level Arkanoid clone offering nothing new whatsoever. The objective is to use a paddle and ricochet a ball around the screen until you demolish all the destructible bricks on that said level and then move onto the next and do the same.

There are a handful of power ups that will help you in that task by granting either multi ball, the ability to shoot bricks, speed decrease, paddle enlarger, ball enlarger, score increase and extra life. The extra lives seem to be capped at 5 and to get another you will need to lose a life first. On the flip side there are negative power-ups that you will also need to avoid obtaining. Mainly paddle shrink, score decrease and instant death.
