Insect Adventure
Insect Adventure 8/10 Stars (Steam Only ATM)
This is a Metroid-style MV, even though at first glance, I assumed it would be closer to an HK-style MV considering the bug theme (which they poke fun at in the game). Most of the familiar themes from Super Metroid are all here, although the Dev does have a few tricks up his sleeve. In fact, once I started playing it, I thought this was going to practically be a straight-up reskin like an AM2R type game with bug skin. Luckily I was wrong.
We get the usual mobility upgrades (Relics), consumables (which can be purchased or mined), and upgrades for our health & strength. Plus, some stuff not found in Super Metroid.

Pretty good little Metroidvania, took me about 4-5 hours for the first ~75% run. It’s indy af, hitboxes are jank, you can stuck in the floor, it borrows a lot of ideas from more polished and popular games, but it feels like it’s own thing and really fun to play. There is a lot of power ups, options for travel and secrets, exploring the world really feels rewarding.
And there is also a second character and 4 difficulty modes.
Give this game a chance, it’s a must for MV fans.

Kingdom: The Far Reaches
very decent despite the fact that is is an old game. A very rich storyline too. It’s a shame that the manual is not included. Also there does not seem to be the sequal, Kingdom Shadoan. Hopefully, it could be released here

Astria Ascending
This game is a really good addition to the JRPG genre. Combat doesn’t feel clunky and not overly complex. Graphics is certainly good, the cities, the characters and the effects used in battle. I just don’t like how other characters feet are drawn but that’s for a few characters. What really interest me is the job system. You can really customize them in many ways and so far none of the classes feels the same nor repetitive. Imagine your tank becoming a black mage and it freaking works well LOL.

I was hesitant about buying this game because of many reviews. The best advice i offer is that if you are a fan of JPRG, you must try it yourself. If YOU are in the same ship, please read all

Ok, thanks.
Overall is a tad of many classics, and maybe that´s the problem with many reviews: they automatically expect or compare this to all of them labelling it “not a classic”.
Gameplay wise It has the “charge” mechanic, all the spells and conditions, invocations and the swap character in the middle of the battle; in the many hours i have played haven’t gotten tired of, it reminds a little of Octopath. The only grip if you can say so is some spikes in difficulty, but amazingly you can customize the random encounters from a menu (if you don’t want random, if you want the enemies to respawn or not in a dungeon) you can always grind like in most rpg and rethink the strategy for that lost battle, dungeon or boss.

Great game

I can’t believe this game was made by two people only. The atmosphere, the gameplay, and the graphics were all charming and fantastic. You owe it to yourself to play this wonderful game, especially since it is at such an affordable price.

Pangea
Distant future. Research spaceship faces with unknown physical phenomenon in a faraway space.
The outcome is safe - the spaceship manages to overcome the anomaly without visible consequences. Though, on arriving to the Earth, the crew discovers it not the same way, as it should be. It seems, the anomaly represented a point of contact of several parallel layers of reality, where the events were happening a little bit differently. When the spaceship went out of the anomaly, it appeared in another layer of reality, not in the same when it got into the anomaly.
In that reality the Earth was not affected by a meteorite, which killed dinosaurus. Giant reptiles remained the dominant form of life, and mammals were poorly developed. As the result - the intelligent life and signs of civilization appeared much later, and by the current moment the society is on the level of Stone Age.
Primitive tribes and dinosaurs, magic and futuristic technologies are waiting for you.
In the “skirmish” mode you have to find and destroy the other players bases. In the campaign, you must complete the mission task.
For each victory, new unit types will be unlocked.
Pangea is a hybrid of turn-based strategy, tabletop game and roguelike. Heroes' moves across the playing field are determined by dice rolls. Turn-based tactical battles take place in a separate hex based arena.
