Selfloss
Selfloss is a story-driven adventure game about a kind old man, set in a fantasy world based on ancient Russian and Icelandic myths. Use the light of your staff to defeat mythical creatures and help those in need. Perform a ceremony called “Selfloss” to heal your own wounded soul.
The old man hears the cry of an unknown animal and is eager to find it and help it. And thus your adventure begins…
-
The magical staff is central to the game’s mechanics and story.
-
Combat is strategic and dynamic. You control the character and his staff simultaneously and independently: the magic staff levitates around the protagonist, generating spells.
-
You can explore the world of Selfloss on foot or by boat, discovering Slavic and Icelandic myths along the way as you help others overcome their hardships and grief.
-
A unique sea-worshiping world with whale gods, resembling the landscapes of Iceland.
-
The art style was inspired by postimpressionism, and the colors of Selfloss were chosen with reference to color theories, particularly Simultaneous Contrast theory.

Defend your mining operations with turrets, lots and lots of turrets.
-
Gather uridium from the wreckage to bolster the bridgehead and expand it.
-
Defend the islands and ensure precious duraphyte does not wind up in enemy hands. Tentacles. Appendages? They have tentacles btw.

Soaring Machinariae
I really wish steam had a neutral option.
TL;DR: For $10, not worth it. If you get it on sale, then why not? Despite the fantastic voice acting, solid gameplay, and incredible sound design, this game is ultimately a generic time waster. That’s not to say it’s bad, it has an incredible amount of polish with very few spelling or grammar issues, but polish doesn’t equate to an interesting or unique product. The characters are fun, but you’ve seen them a hundred times before. The gameplay is solid, but you’ve played better before. Every aspect of this game is done better by others, but if this is your first foray into RPG Maker, then it’s a pretty good starting place. In comparison to other RPG Maker games, this game is pretty dang good, and it at least stands out against them. The game only falls short when compared to games outside of the RPG Maker engine or when you’ve played a ton of RPG Maker games, but if you’re looking for a decently fun RPG Maker game and a way to waste some time, this is a decent pick.

Action JRPG + fully voiced + good controls = Zelda like gameplay with anime charm. Adventure as Iris the Machinariae and obtain skills. Great price! Normally this type of game is at least a $15-20.

Ultimate ADOM - Caverns of Chaos
Update 8/26/2021: The game has reached version 1.0, and it’s still not fun.
Overall performance and stability have improved somewhat. There tends to be less lag when moving around, and autoexplore is quite fast. On the other hand, inventory performance has gotten worse. Opening the inventory screen can take a few seconds and switching equipment a second.
With the introduction of continuous buff spells, this is possibly the easiest version yet. Most buff spells now last forever at the cost of reducing maximum PP by a percentage. For casters this doesn’t matter too much since PP growth seems to have gone through the roof. For non-casters this doesn’t matter too much since they are killing things without spells.

Update: 04/23/21
Updated the Video showing off the current state of the game, as of Version 0.8.0.
Updated Gameplay! In-Progress Let’s Play video here: https://youtu.be/VRrMxf8hV-0
I record my playthroughs with Ultimate ADOM if you prefer a more visual format; take a look if you like.
I like Ultimate ADOM. I liked it during the Alpha, and I like it even more now. Much progress has been made, as more and more options are opening up, options like Limb Grafting! I shall be a Grafting God!

Before actually working on a project of this scale, the basic design should be perfect. Feedback from actual players (you guys) is extremely valuable in determining what works and what doesn’t. Releasing a free demo on Steam seems like the best way to get as much feedback as possible in the shortest time.
The demo could be considered a condensed version in terms of gameplay. It includes most of the characters, skills, equipment, items and enemies that are planned for the full game. There’s no plot, however, no quests, no puzzles. The game elements and locations may or may not be part of the full game. That depends on your feedback! :)
Wildsilver is planned to be released in autumn 2022. There may be an early-access version.
Witchtastic
I found this game the other day and it looked so like overcooked that I had to try it. I’ve played with a friend a couple of worlds and it’s really fun!
You can do the levels on solo mode but it’s better to have someone playing with you so you can get gems!
I love the design and think it has lot of potencial as an early access, I can’t wait to see what other content the developers will add!
EDIT: After completing the 3 worlds I must say…that it’s so much fun! The mechanics they added in the ghost and swamp levels are great and definetly leaves you craving for more content! I’ve completed all levels and now it’s time to get all those sweet gems! You should really give it a try!

So ya, likely just like you, I got here because I loved Overcooked. And there are definitely similarities - enough that if you like Overcooked, this is likely a good game for you too. But, this takes Overcooked up a level and adds enemies, and extra challenges that make it more than just another Overcooked wannabe. Many of the levels are challenging. Not so challenging that you can’t finish them but if you are a max score finisher type of person - it will take several tries to get there. We finished the game in about 12 hours - but not at maximum scores. We’re now in the process of going back and replaying the levels to get 3 gems…. and it’s still challenging. If you’re looking for a challenging Overcooked type game with a twist - look no further!

Bludgeon
Bludgeon is a death match between bird-riding warriors wielding flails. Evade the spikes and your enemies' weapons in your feeble attempt to survive and become victorious. Grab some controllers and some friends, and prepare to be bludgeoned!
Inspired by games like Joust, Towerfall, Super Smash Brothers, and Bomberman, Bludgeon is being built with love, knowing there are few things more fun and worthwhile than a room full of friends enjoying a good video game together.
Features:
-
Simple but polished gameplay, centered around use of the flail – swing it, block with it, and throw it!
-
A unique, sensible control scheme.
-
Risk/reward based gameplay:
-
If you have your weapon out, you can attack, but it hinders your movement.
-
You can throw your weapon, but that leaves you temporarily defenseless.
-
Keep your weapon out longer for a super-powerful charged attack!
-
-
Up to four players at once.
-
Several characters and stages to choose from.
-
Pain and death at the hands of your enemies – or, if you’re fortunate, sorrow and guilt as an undeserving survivor in an uncaring world.

While Starbreeze has enjoyed acclaim from it’s previous releases, the studio hasn’t exactly built it’s reputation on creating whimsical worlds with moving narratives. Both Chronicles of Riddick and The Darkness gave their players dark and gritty worlds to explore and some unique gameplay twists to hook players. With such a pedigree Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons stands out as being wholly against type. It’s the video game equivalent of Martin Scorsese’s Hugo, stepping away from subject matter reserved for mature audiences to deliver a memorable experience that can be enjoyed by audiences both young and old. While seemingly stepping out of the comfort zone established by their track record, Brothers stands out as one of 2013’s best, and most surprising, releases.
