Lil Big Invasion
Awesome indie game with way enough content to fit the bill. Its kinda like Pikmin except they are trapped in dungeons and you must find and rescue them.
Really loved the sound and the art-style. Dungeons are getting way harder and better later on and the boss fights are fun. It took me some time to get used to the controls tho. Exploration is great IF you figure out how the moths and the worms do work… which is not part of the tutorial :/
It’s cute but challenging and worth the money.

This is a fun little action adventure game, developed by my former colleague Andreas. It’s so cute, but challenging ‘til the last minute and the sounds are really funny, even if the little fireflies sometimes don’t behave as you want them to. But that’s the trick of the game and you’ll soon know how to handle them right in order to crack some highscores. Overall, an awesome game!

9th Dawn III
9th Dawn III is a great hack-and-slash dungeon crawler/RPG with a lot of content. The game has a semi-open world concept with limited access to areas related to the main story. There is a predefined path to progress in the game, but the number of optional dungeons gives a lot of freedom. I enjoyed the storyline, even if it is a clichéd “save the world from evil” scenario.
You can definitely tell that the developers put a lot of attention to detail in this game. There is a huge amount of items, skills, monsters and general things you can do in the game. You can go fishing and make a meal out of your catch, or you can go mining and forge a new weapon etc.

9th Dawn III is a 2D pixel take on a huge open world filled with smithing, jewelcrafting, alchemy, cooking, taming monsters, a card game along with the usual dungeon crawling and loot that are familiar for everyone. The animation and art for this game are it’s weakest points, which as an artist I hate saying. On the plus side, everything else is so damned good that you will get past the look of it pretty damned quickly. It is singularly my only “complaint” about this game, and even there the dark dreary textures that seem to blend into each other are vastly outweighed by amazingly implemented gameplay mechanics, a fun little story that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and a plethora of crafting minigames and card minigames that will keep you entertained for hours.

Fantasy Story
Fantasy Story is a tight, punchy platformer with more than 80 rooms across four distinct zones, all employing unique mechanics to make for new challenges. Enemies are varied and tough and there are plenty of secrets to uncover. The world is deep, rich and ready to explore.
A world brimming with light, kindness, and joy now lays barren.
The adventurers that roamed these lands, and kept them safe from evil, were young and strong. They fought to keep the people who inhabited it safe and secure, from the breezy, green fields to the freezing tundras. But alas, these Heroes were nowhere near prepared for the impending doom that awaited the world.
Drasorin, a warlock determined to disrupt the balance of the world, sought and slew the great Heroes. Unleashing his powerful minions to pillage, corrupt, and destroy, Drasorin succeeded in his evil goal, and now the lands are his. Those that survived live in fear; fearful of the day that Drasorin will come for them, too. While he sits high and mighty in his castle, his disgusting monsters are left to roam the world, and destroy any good that is left.
You are one of the few survivors. Seeking vengeance for your home and people, you set out on the greatest adventure yet. Pick up your sword, Hero, and godspeed! For you will face deadly foes and overcome perilous obstacles. Be wary! As you travel, you will encounter few safe havens to rest - and even fewer friends to assist, so you must be careful! Take back what belongs to the people of this world, bring the hammer of justice down on Drasorin, and be the great Hero that everyone needs!

LABYRINTH OF TOUHOU - GENSOKYO AND THE HEAVEN-PIERCING TREE
where do i start on this game’s review? heck if i know but i’ll try to leave it readable
the fun i have had in this game exceeds that of over 99% of rpg games i have ever played the combat is excellent its kinda like active time battle but each time you or the enemy gets their turn the atb bars stop increasing until everyone who has their atb bar around 10000 or so had their turn then atb bars resume increasing up to 10000 then those characters or enemies have thier turn rinse and repeat
the difficulty with the bosses is legendarily hard even by dark souls standards you will die a lot of times and when i say a lot I MEAN YOU WILL DIE A HEAP OF TIMES (assuming if you dont over power yourself because lets face it overpowered characters negating the challenge is less fun then stepping on the edges of lego pieces barefoot) joke aside the some of the bosses will take every single bit of knowledge you have from this game and any other similar role playing games to even have a slight chance take it from me i have been party wiped so fast i didn’t even have time to say darn i got shredded and owned lol (i party wiped so many times though not once have a rage quit because of the boss’s difficulty it happens because i made the blooming mistakes that made the party wipe happen oh for those fans of a certain super hard rpg game im not going to say who it is but all you need know is a certain npc appears from that series somewhere in this game when i saw them i was like nooo….. can it you are you really them? no blooming way its them (yes it was them i can tell because i played a good bit of that game series myself

Loot Hero DX
TL;DR: A well-made but fairly pointless grinding game. Only recommended for achievement hunters so you at least get a trophy out of it.
In a traditional RPG you usually start as a low-level character with little to no equipment and the only way to become more powerful is to complete quests kill monsters.
Basically begin with a standard RPG. Take out quests and dialogues, reduce equipment to purchasable stats and reduce the combat to just damage-per-second and make it a side-scroller and you’ve got yourself Loot Hero. The gameplay consists of three parts: choosing a level, running left and right killing monsters and buying better stats at the towns in-between. There’s also a short and pretty meaningless story: a terrible dragon has appeared and you, the hero, has to go and kill it to save the land.

I really want to like this game: it has really neat pixel graphics, lots of critters to kill, keeps stats, and has achievements and trading cards. But, the reality is that the gameplay gets boring after the first three minutes. Even the added concept of releasing miners to collect gold for you after every successful run through all levels fails, because it’s just accelerating a timer event…it doesn’t add to the gameplay at all.
In the end, all you do is collect enough treasure and XP to buff your character, who kills the baddies by – literally – running into them. There is no learning tactics for combat or developing strategies by buffing your character a specific way. You just level up your stats evenly as you collect loot, enough that you don’t watch your health bar go down much at all while you’re running back and forth, grind away until you start taking damage as you continue through the levels, and then rinse and repeat. Gameplay does not change on any levels, nor do you treat any of the creatures differently…you just run through them.

Amazeing Lemons
Boring uninteresting asset flip - 2/10
The developer only dumps asset flips onto the steam store which are way overpriced and garbage. This game is not as bad as the other one I’ve played from this developer, it can be interesting for a few minutes.
You start on a cartoonish map and you have to collect lemons by walking over them before the time runs out, there are multiple maps and it gets a bit harder every time.
This is definitely not worth any money maybe for a few cents. For 8,99 this is pretty much robbery.

Of the 20 minutes I spent playing the game, over half of it was spent on loading screens. Absolutely hideous, only thing remotely positive about it was the music, and even that was bland and repetitive.
