Elmarion: Dragon time
Edited review.
I wish I could recommend this game. You can only like or dislike when I am actually sitting at meh with this game. Elmarion: Dragon Time is early access and the Dev(s), Fleon Games, have made 3 games in 2 years. Elmarion: Dragon Time is still in Early Access, but doesn’t seem to be updated or any signs of updates. (WIll change if that changes.) A finished product, but not a polished one. You do get to play as a dragon, but that is the only appeal.
Cons
*No Feedback from dev(s) on this Early Access title.

Review is actually from 27th April 2020. Since last playing and writing this review, the developer has made various updates that I’ve yet to try out. These include items to equip your dragon with, more music/tracks, new dungeons, secret areas and traps, a new dragon to play as, and a whole load of bug fixes, balancing, and general improvements. I’ll update my review once I get around to playing it again.
Elmarion: Dragon Time tries to achieve something I’ve been wanting to see for a long time now, that I’ve not seen done successfully in any other game. A game where you’re the dragon, soaring through the sky, causing death and destruction throughout the realm, or whatever you want really, you’re a dragon after all! Elmarion seems to do it relatively well, but there is still a lot of work to be done for that great experience! Elmarion is in the early stages of Early Access at the time of writing this, and from what I can tell, it’s a one man project, so from that point of view the game is very impressive!

Divinity II: Developer’s Cut
Divinity II Ego Draconis and Divinity II Flames of Vengeance comprise Divinity II: Developer’s Cut. The former the original and the latter the expansion. Depending on how you play the length of the entire production can easily extend past 100 hours.
To start, customization was a disappointment. Selection is limited to a male and female model with appropriate sound samples from which to pick. Want to sound like a noble or a soldier then Larian has made that happen. What Larian did not make happen was allow me to choose an avatar in my chosen image. The hair and beard and color of both can be chosen but only female or male and human at that. The game has goblins, why can’t the player be a goblin?

Firstly please be aware that the naming of the various Divinity Games from Larian studios is confusing to say the least.
WHAT THIS IS: This is Divinity II: Developers Cut (Ego Draconis & Flames of Vengeance) (from 2012).
WHAT THIS IS NOT: This is not Divinity II: Original Sin (from 2019).
SHORT REVIEW
This is one of these good games that has been be slightly overlooked in my opinion. A good RPG and definitely worth picking up. It is an older game now so the graphics aren’t cutting edge but they are still quite adequate and with the exception of one glitch that can occasionally hang the game on a loading screen between areas the game is pretty solid.

Love of Dragons
Cute visual novel. Though some of the back story is not… Anyway, decent read. There are choices, but they don’t seem to matter much. Might suggest getting on discount.

Sword Daughter
I guess this is one where I wished steam had a number or star rating rather than a good/bad option. I bought it some time ago, didn’t particularly like it so put it down for a while and picked it up again recently but found more of the same. Overall I’m coming down on the negative side of neutral with regards to it being a game book written in the 80’s. It’s not the worst thing I’ve ever seen but it has some significant problems with the story.
Firstly some of the graphics are nice. They’re in a consistant style that suits the game book. I didn’t find the music that intrusive (although I turned it right down after a while and it got repetative) and the sound effects are ok.

The first line of this story really should have been: Once Upon a Time. Had it started this way I doubt there would have been so many comments/complaints about character development and short storylines. Truthfully what fairy tale really does have in-depth character development or that much of a plot?
Storyline: Tyrna, a young woman (a maiden) has been trained by her father all her life to be a warrior. On the way to the Warrior Games (a tournament to basically earn the right to be called a warrior) the caravan is attacked by orcs. She is knocked unconscious fighting orcs and because of this is the only remaining survivor of the massacre her father dies in. Gavin, a half-elf/half-human ranger (on patrol) comes upon the carnage and revives her before the orcs return or wild animals find her. Of course it is love at first sight, what fairy tale does not have love at first sight. The adventure and mild romance (mostly of the happily ever type) begins here.

Divinity: Dragon Commander
This review contains of three parts:
1. What game is it actually/what does it contain?
2. How do I feel about certain parts of it?
3. Summary.
1. Divinity : Dragon Commander
This game is an interesting mixture of turn-based strategy, RTS with a possibility of turning to TPP and continuing the fight, and to some degree a Empire builder. I will use few comparisions in order to describe it for newcommers. If You liked Total War series for the turn based strategy and the possibility to command Your troops on a RTS battlefield, but You found both parts a bit too complex this game may just fit Your taste. How is the RTS part handling? Well it can be compared to Warhammer 40K Dawn of War, but again in a more simplistic way. The places on which You build are not only limited but also fixed, and the whole game is basing on the land controll with one resource involved. The number of units avaiable is smaller and there are no fraction specyfic units. That doesn’t mean that there is no micro/macro cntroll involved. In fact the ‘rock-paper-scissors’ mechanic seems fair enough and even the most low tech units remain usable in late-campagin matches thanks to their special abilities. Storyline? Hymmm. I can’t say I did not sink into it, but it really is a rather linear story with one ending. Again I would compare it to the Witcher style of handling the storyline. You can do various things by anwsering many choices. There are no good anwsers as each option rewards ou with something and punishes You with a other one. But ultimately there are three acts, that lead the main storyline. You can either win the campagin or loose it. There is also a random campagin mode that takes out only one part of the story and gives You a chance of discovering personal plots and endings without the need to go through the same three maps again. Multiplayer. As it stands the UI is a bit lacking at the moment but still the matches give a lot of fun. With dragons fighting in the skies while micro managing their armies and macro managing the factories the RTS gets really interesting.

It’s a pretty good game that could have been really awesome. They were really ambitious with it.
The main issue is that they didn’t have the budget for this one and Divinity Original sin, which they were developing at the same time.
So they had to pick one or the other, and they picked D:OS, which makes sense because it was more in line with what they’re good at doing.
Even so, Dragon Commander got made, though they ended up cutting a HUGE amount of content. Like, the game that you see is about 30% of the final product that they strung together and published before moving over to D:OS

Castle Woodwarf 2
My fondest memories of the early internet as a child was playing flash games on Miniclip - particularly those tower / town defense games, charmingly simple but addictively formulaic, that kept me coming back missed save after missed save. Developed by Domo Games, Castle Woodwarf 2 takes this familiar formula and adds charming art, a decent variety of troops and enemy units, and a challenge/difficulty system that allows you to revisit levels at higher difficulties, and unlock boss fights for each one once you’ve bested them on normal.

Yo!-Are ya here for the review of this awesome game?
You think the game is not awesome?
Well then..Let me start the review.
So about this game:
The game has 2 mechanics:Resource management and Tower defense.
You gather resources to build up defenses and your army while the enemy waves are spawning towards you.
What you need to do is survive long enough to kill every spawned enemy attacking you and end the wave.
There are different levels and the finish is at Level 15 where the Boss comes in-Defeat him and you win the game.

Dragon Lapis
Great RPG.

Very excellent game!! There’s two ways to getting your stats up. Through regular fighting and the growth plate system. The growth plate system is very vital to getting your stats up as well and via the growth plate system it can help your stats go into the five digit range with your HP being capped at 99,999 even though the max party level is only 99. Excellent story as well along with hilarious dialogue. Definitely worth buying!!

EarthNight
EarthNight is an absolutely fantastic runner game, where you skydive (spacedive?) though each successive atmosphere, while landing on, running across, and slaying massive dragons. You can tell how much love and passion was poured into this game from every angle.
Every run, you collect pieces of the dragons, which unlock new temporary power-ups when collected for the first time. These power-ups then show up on runs, and you have to collect them to get their temporary effects. You can also use your currency, water, to buy the power-ups early, if you’re finding a dragon too difficult or not fun and just want the power-up. You also collect eggs each run. Every dragon has 3 eggs, each one makes you do more damage against that dragon on that run. Eggs and dragon pieces are also used for upgrading your items and water tank.

Auto-Stunner
Yes. Get it. Or play it on Apple Arcade. This is such an interesting one.
This weirdness. A seven years in the making autorunner from a studio whose founder said of the genre ‘People got bored because it’s boring.’ THAT’S where you need to start when you’re aiming to upend a genre. Also, a title pitched to bring mobile gaming its own Spelunky. You could say it was unpunctual to that aim given the releases we now see on the small screen or, perhaps, just in time for Apple Arcade’s mainstreamification. In any case, what a mission statement; what a millstone of expectation and prospects round a studio’s first game’s neck. How’d it do?

Furry Shakespeare: Oops! All Dragons!
I do so enjoy these quirky little stories! Oh and I totally am not even slightly biased at all about the cast of this one all being dragons ; p
What can I say if you have played any of the games by Stegalosaurus and enjoyed them, this one will bring you more of what you have enjoyed in the past. Humor? Check! Strange unexpected plot twists? Check! The option to take things seriously and try to make the right choices, or say to Hades and blow it all up on purpose? You bet! Opportunities to meddle in other peoples lives and relationships, while pointedly ignoring your own? lol of course! hmmmm here’s a new one, love triangle???? Well some one does mention the idea…. But I havnt found it yet (although the two who “play” brother and sister would really make for an incredibly confusing one! lmao I can see it now….. but yeah that doesnt happen).
