Paths & Danger
FIRST comment I will last for eternity!
Well thoughtful game.
There’s plenty of potential to this, I really hoped some features were unlocked, but I guess they are still under development.
I loved the combos we can do with different characters, my fav so far to use are the Half -Vampire and the Paladin.
The game’s becomes intense when your chars start to have low health and stamina, and the atmosphere the game really nails it.
Loved the art in the game, kinda a mixture of battle brothers and darkest dungeon, but original enough to be distinct.

With around an hour play, i would like to give constructive criticism for the devs.
The genre is popular, im sure there are a lot of people including me who are willing to play Darkest Dungeon type of games out there. But there are a few things that need to be addressed i believe.
I started the game with Ice Mage, so no tutorial. I dont see the reason, why there is tutorial with Warrior and not with another hero? Doesnt make sense.
Thats why at times i felt i had lack of info of what to do. I had to stop my run with Ice mage because my Vampire buddy had died, i spent most of my gold on health potiıns, but stamina potions seem much more important. Because your stamina doesnt regen. This again is a flaw in game design i believe. There should be another way to regen your stamina besides spending money for it. (Maybe there is but i just got stuck and couldnt play further due to this. And it was the easy mode.)

Wulin Chess
我在测试之初就玩了这款游戏，高难度通关了测试版之后，有惊喜，存回味，亦有遗憾。
游戏画风独特，难度硬核，叙述古风，难为大众，却不失精品。
对于它，有的人踌躇不前，躲避不及；有人却砥锋挺锷，悻然前往，也许这就是江湖，这就是【天下为棋】的独特魅力。

UROS: A Trip Through Shadows
What can I say about this game? By and large, a very good action-platformer. Fast, not very heavy, with nice graphics. Yes, it feels like many things were “taken”, or simply copied from the Hollow Knight. But in general, it is interesting to play. It would be. If not for a small unpleasant circumstance. I have run the game twice. And twice it flew out of me with the deletion of my save! This is just wonderful! This is just fine! I don’t have the words. Developer, how can you make games LIKE THIS and upload them to the public?! Was it really impossible to conduct tests at least for critical bugs?! If they correct it over time, I will even go through to the end. But now this game is simply impossible to play! Dislike.

This game still need a lot more work to do, especially the way the sword slash effect is short but still hit enemy a bit far from it is kinda weird, theres a bug where after you defeat the 1st boss, when you fall down it wont load the next room and you just fall into void. Also the most annoying thing is that your game crashes and then your save file is gone.
If you can bear the current state of this game, i would recommend you to give it a try.
Otherwise, just wait for the full game to comes… maybe…

This game looks pretty… and unfortunately that’s the only positive thing I can say about it. And I say “unfortunately” because it does feel like there’s a good idea in there somewhere, but it got lost between the low-quality writing and the myriad of bugs that make enjoying this game very difficult.
Apparently this game has been in Early Access for a long time, so I’m skeptical that it’ll ever be finished (or at least polished up a bit), but I hope I’m wrong and sometime in the future I can come back and change this to a positive review.

#15 of ~69 in my “How many games can I get for under $5” review series.
This game is beautiful for something made with Unity. The art is quite pleasing. The problem is the gameplay is lacking. The controls are lacking. And it does not translate to English well. This is one I wouldn’t even review yet if it wasn’t part of a review series, but it is and I must.
If you want to support a developer that hasn’t quite hit their stride yet that hasn’t been keeping up on this game, go for it. If you are super concerned about money, this is available on many websites that sell Steam Keys. Just be sure you have a trustworthy source and you can get it super cheap. Or look for trades involving Steam coupons for the game.

Farathan
Story line
Fifteen years ago, your Father conquered Elion province and saved it from the orcs. But he wanted more, pushed into orc territory and went missing. After all that time without a ruler, the empire is on the brink of civil war and the most trusted imperial advisor and your mentor decides it is time to crown you to save the empire from falling apart. He summons you to the capital city of Elion.
Few people know about your travel and the route you will take. Mainly your family, your mentor and the Sartorian captain that has to escort you, your dear friend Elrys.
You did not reach Elion, ambushed by orcs, that never before occurred so deep into Elion province. During the ambush, you were “lucky” enough to fall of a bridge into a river. You crashed your head on a rock, but an old fisherman managed to save you. You are weak,do not remember how to fight and no one belives you are Eristan - the rest of the story is yours to tell.

Grim Nights 2
the game is good & i love it but its pretty buggy right now but alot of fixes have happen in 1 week with only 1 developer doing it so he deserves a lot of credit & support so join his discord by going to the discussion thing & most of you probably dont know where thats located so all i will say is look carefully & you might just see it by clicking on the game but not play it yet. the developer he needs to make changes like making the visitors spawn more often because im sick of being stuck with a low amount of villagers & i hope the max amount of villager is high enough to my likeing & that zombies & bandits go though some changes like spawning more often & being a bit harder after a while & there need to be more food in game & better stuff to refill energy faster & better & much more

Grim Nights 2 expands upon the original title with new occupations, resources, art and music. The focus has now shifted towards colony management. After picking your preferred location and biome (currently only 2 available) in a randomized world, you assemble four members to start your new settlement. Their perks and initial stats, which are determined by culture and background, will be instrumental in time and resource management - so pick wisely. You can later hone your settlers' skills, change their primary and secondary occupation and assign them items. They will require rest and food individually, so make sure you build them safe beds and grow and prepare enough grub.

Kharon’s Crypt - Even Death May Die
This game is genuinely good and deserves all the attention. Whether you’re an old-school lover or you’re new to the genre and style, this game will surprise you. The team has worked very hard on the game and the result is a good game.
It will be out of early access when the devs are sure there are no catastrophic bugs or crashes. It will also come out on Switch!
The game itself is very inspired in old gameboy dungeon crawler titles and while it might feel difficult at first glance once you get used to the mechanics and controls it’s not that difficult. I believe everyone should give it an honest try!

The game is really fun and challenging, the music is awesome and it gives og the perfect vibe. The lore is suprisingly detailed and it’s worth reading it all.
! I think it’s a little funny, that you see a cute slime, and then the necronomicon says it’s human pulp.

No updates since November 2018, don’t buy until you see more activity
Old review:
Monstrously good promise
Let’s hope it delivers.
Game has beautiful models, tight controls and great aesthetics. It really brings the dark fantasy Victorian setting to life.
Controls (the most important part of a brawler imo) are good and tight, I got into them in no time. Sadly enemy AI still need to get better.
Game is far from finished, and I’ve found a bunch of glitches. Let’s hope this game keeps up in the direction it’s going, and doesn’t fall short of the big promise the devs are making. If you want a finished game, I’d recommend you to wait and see how the game develops.

Nevermore: The Chamber Door
In the poem The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe, the narrator is faced with a creature that enters his room and remains on the bust of Athena, goddess of wisdom, thus placing himself above reason and logic. The crow speaks only one word, “Nevermore”, which the narrator interprets in different ways to answer his own questions.
In THE CHAMBER DOOR something similar happens, but before Athena a door opens, a portal to another world of creatures and demons of nightmares. While the dark-feathered raven contrasts with the marble of Athena, of light and darkness, life and death, our hero is taken by something above reason, making him enter that door with the certainty of the unknown.
THE CHAMBER DOOR is a game of introduction to the NEVERMORE universe. You will be introduced to fluid combat mechanics and endless possibilities. Aggressiveness and agility is the basis of combat, you will be rewarded in a combos ranking system where your variety of blows is your greatest weapon, but beware, NEVERMORE contains dangerous creatures and any mistake can be your last.
As you progress through the game, you’ll craft exclusive mirror cards to build your character according to your combat style. Each card can bring new abilities, new mechanics or even improve your stats.
When passing through the CHAMBER DOOR you will face hordes of varied enemies in an arena system, at the end of each level you find a passage to proceed to the next one. As you defeat these hordes, you will eventually come across more powerful entities and stronger bosses.
If you fail and get defeated, you will return to the first level, however, in a roguelike system, you keep the souls you captured in your last adventure to evolve your charms through the statue of Athena, thus becoming stronger and more prepared to advance further more on your next try.
