Presentation

Tank Universal is one of the most weird, yet ambitious indies you’ll ever play, as it tries to introduce you to a story that’s not even defined by the end of the title. Developed by a single person, New Zealand’s graphic designer Phil Jones, the game kicks off by introducing you to a terminally ill patient who was prescribed a virtual reality headset in order to help him relax. Inside this virtual reality is where you will take control of Unit8, a soldier finding himself at the beginning of a revolution against the society that rules the virtual world, deciding to join the resistance and help them defeat Gorgon, the ruler and oppressor of their world.

A great game about tank skirmishing in 80’s-version-of-the-future-worlds. The player goes up against a giant eyeball overlord along with men from a resistance movement. Together they fight past vast amounts of enemy vehicles such as tanks, artillery, and even goddamn bombers.

The story is more or less just there so people won’t complain about lack of a story, and the read-only dialogue is laughably bad at times, but the game contains a lot of fun to be had and some really unexpected twists.

Once you beat the campaign, you can test your strength in the “skirmish” mode, where you have 20 minutes to kill as many enemies, of all types, as possible, and try not to die in the process.

ADACA

ADACA

After being sentenced to 20 years of conscription service to pay off your corporate debts, you find yourself woken from a long cryogenic slumber aboard the derelict remains of the warship you had been stationed on.

You are now on ADACA, a “fly-over” planet in the heart of the galaxy’s rust-belt.

The strange man who thawed you out has replaced your arm with a robotic prosthetic, capable of force-manipulating loose objects, including enemy weapons. This may come in rather handy, considering the law isn’t quite fond of you or your new friends…

However, the police won’t be your only problem. ADACA is a strange and old world, full of dark mysteries. There are powerful, dangerous secrets out there in the rust, and many factions are looking to uncover them for their own ends…

ADACA is an episodic sandbox FPS heavily inspired by story-driven titles of the late 90’s and early 2000’s. This game features a heavy emphasis on exploration and manipulation of the environment to defeat your foes and solve puzzles using your gravity-manipulating robotic arm!

Diluvian Ultra

Diluvian Ultra

In Diluvian Ultra you play as Atilla, an undead king that is awakened in deep space, aboard his tomb, ship by an invasion of unknown enemies. He must fight to prevent them from stealing his most sacred object: The Book of Life. Without the book, Attila’s order can’t revive the long-dead human species.

The spaceship is a living combination of flesh and stone, teeming with creatures created to serve a purpose aboard the ship. Even the doors are alive.

Diluvian Ultra is built around a damage system where you have to combine weapons to be effective. Armor negates most damage, but some weapons are designed to damage only the armor itself, setting the victim up for a lethal blow. The player has to be careful, as enemies will combine their attacks in the same way. Armor damage cannot kill you, but take too much and a single well-placed lethal attack will kill you in one hit.

Combat in Diluvian Ultra is all about mobility. Dodge enemy fire, while you chain together ranged attacks with close combat blows and devastating ground slams to interrupt and stun your enemies.

The weapons range from living insect guns, to plasma spewing shotguns. Each has a unique special reload function, like healing armor damage or turning the magazine into a grenade.

Garden Of Mooj

Garden Of Mooj

Garden of Mooj is a monster farmer simulator where you raise cute little slime monsters called Mooj. You find different types of food and feed them to your Mooj and it will train their stats in different ways. Every night even scarier monsters come to try and destroy your Mooj statue and you must defend yourself using the Mooj you have raised. Once you train your Mooj, their abilities can unlock gates to allow you passage into new areas, as you make your way across the world trying to save it from a mysterious enemy. Mooj is fairly similar to games like Slime Rancher and the Chao Garden from Sonic Adventure, and was a lot of fun. The game also has a really decent jazz/easy listening soundtrack.

Real player with 19.6 hrs in game

I find this game strangely addicting and loads of fun despite how simple it is.

Its a good game for just not worrying and getting a good chuckle and you can make your mooj fairly different.

Pros:

Relaxing

Silly and cute

Addicting

Cons:

it can be a bit buggy

its not entirely clear on what to do

could still use more to do(personal bias)

Muito bom! Uma mescla de jogo com a história do Castelinho da Opus. Tive oportunidade de visitar esse castelo e realmente a história é sinistra. Espero ansioso pelos próximos capítulos

Very nice gme about a true history that happened in São Paulo - Brazil. Until now what happened in this Castle is a mistery.

Perdition

Perdition

One thing is perpetually obvious while playing through Perdition - it was crafted with passion and incredible attention to detail in regards to player experience.

A prime example of this is how you can’t just hold on to your favorite gun for the entire duration of the game. Once you’re out of ammo, you have to retrieve guns from fallen enemies, and what you get might not always be your first choice. You’re in the middle of combat, and suddenly your SMG is replaced with a grenade launcher, and you as the player are forced to improvise and adapt your combat style.

Real player with 1.7 hrs in game

Wow, for just a couple of people this game is really enjoyable. Combat is buttery smooth, one could say “Doom-esc” style combat with its own unique flavor.

It runs flawlessly, no stutters, frame drops, bugs, or anything of the sort. Well done.

Sadly not really any options are there, however the fact that the game is free and has a silky smooth experience makes up for it. The environment and ambiance with the music is on point. Just the little things such as a clean and non-repetitive soundtrack make the game that much more enjoyable.

Star Explorers

Star Explorers

This game gives you really tons of gameplay features for only 5$ and is still worked on to get even better.

Exploring a vast universe with random suns and planets that you can land on to complete your main mission, retrieve fuel for your mothership and engaging in varying adventures in FPS against aliens, cave hazards and hostile environments. You can freely walk in your ship, for the moment there is not much to do inside it other than accessing the landing bay for your shuttle or managing your inventory, but wandering around and simply looking outside gives the game a real atmosphere. Then, yes, in the current beta - and soon in the regular version I guess - there are now space battles against alien flying saucers that you can board to loot even more needed items.

Real player with 244.3 hrs in game

I figure a game like this deserves some more reviews. I have books on Amazon and they get very few reviews, so I imagine it’s the same with game makers, they would prefer more people leave some reviews for their games so more gamers can get an idea what other gamers think of these games.

The game has you exploring different star systems looking for resources on planets with different hazards, like extreme cold or heat and atmospheres that might be radiated or poisonous and you have to upgrade your space suit to handle more and more dangerous environments. You typically head down into caves to find resources and sometimes chests with items that might be useful to you. You can find alien life forms on some planets.

I don’t think I can recommend the game. It started out a little buggy but overall it just wasn’t very scary. It was also super dark in the hallways and no flashlight so it was difficult to see. I also couldn’t get passed the second locked door. I’m not sure if it bugged but there are pretty much no instructions on what to do so you end up just stumbling through and I ended up getting stuck. I personally just don’t think this is worth the price. If you want to see some game play you can check out my video above.

I don’t necessarily know how to feel about this game just yet. There’s no direction and seemingly no plot, and it feels more like an escape game than a story-driven series. But I digress; hopefully, the developer has some cool things in store for the other chapters in this story that will be available as DLC. For now, I’ll leave you with my gameplay below. As it stands now, I can not in good faith recommend this game to other users for the price of 5$. If it were free, that would be a different story.
