Circle Empires Rivals
Circle Empires: Rivals is the multiplayer successor to Circle Empires. At its core, Circle Empires Rivals is a 10-25 minute long real time strategy game. Despite the short game length, it has quite a lot of content and depth, and easily gets a strong recommendation given its moderate to low price point.
At the time of writing this review, the game has 7 different game modes, 26 commanders with unique army compositions and bonuses, 6 difficulty settings, 5 different map sizes, and within the various game modes (such as stop the army and monster hunt) there are also different scenario selections available. The different game modes range from very easy to very difficult, and even with 4 people working together in a co-op game certain modes like Defend the Castle mode is extremely difficult on even moderate difficulty settings, so if you like a PvE challenge, the game has this available.

Must buy for every RTS fan and people who would like to experience something unique with alot of variety.
You can play this game on easy mode or incredible challenging. There are a lot of game modes and coop makes alot of fun too. The game is also very well made no bugs and a great interface!
Got 32hours on the first one and with this game I expect getting closer to 100+ hours for only 8-12 euro you got great value.
If you want to play this coop, but don´t have someone to play it with, I am always looking for people to play it with, since it just makes even more fun in coop-mode.

Battle Realms: Zen Edition
Ah, Battle Realms… How long had I been waiting for you to return? The time has come at last. Of course I’ve got an ode to this game prepared for this very special occasion.
A grievously underestimated RTS, a hidden gem! If you ever came across it, you struck gold right there… knowingly or unknowingly… Raw gold… like… a big nugget, a li’l rough around the edges, but nonetheless shiny and valuable… :)
I had been playing this game competitively (Gamespy/GameRanger) for almost 10 years, long before its arrival on Steam. It truly shines when you play against smart players who come up with all kinds of tactics. My advice for every player would be to try getting into the multiplayer aspect of this game.

This game is the underdog since it release close to war craft 3. As a fan of RTS, I say this is NOT an entry RTS, but it is VERY unique in a sense that only seasoned RTS fans can appreciate (more so if you are a fan of Total War). Overall a solid 8/10, recommend if you like RTS and wants something familiar but creatively different.

Fighting Moore
This is a fairly straight forward combat game, at least at first. You have 5 attacks – a hammer, a meteor, a spinning wheel which quickly moves you across the map and two spells you fire from a bow. The best part of the attack system is being able to pick what attack to use quickly.
There are around 10 enemies you face (though I still haven’t seen some from the trailer), some spell casters, some healers, some warriors. The same strategy of attacking, dodging, and attacking is pretty consistent versus most of them but things get more complex once you hit chapter 3. You often face 5-6 enemies at a time but there is a bullet time mechanic to help out.

This game is wonderful! Mechanics wise it’s wonderful! It’s smooth, but it took me a min to figure out how to properly cast. I spent the first few tries just wandering around. I will play to complete all chapters now.

Starcaller
A great 3d vr puzzle game

Really delighted with this game. I expected a single “game” to last a little longer, but after playing through a couple times, I actually appreciate that I can pick it up in bursts and I don’t have to play through to a good stopping point when I am ready to be done. I’ve played about an hour so far, and will be playing a lot more to try and get a better score. I love how the puzzles get more complex as you complete each type!

Warlocks vs Shadows
Quick update: game is dead, developers MIA.
Warlocks: a fast-paced action RPG platformer with online co-op, competition, and all-around fun gameplay, unique visuals (characters and levels) and atmosphere.
6.5/10 in current state (Q1, 2015), but would recommend as the developers have shown dedication to development, and there is much more content in the works. I backed during the Kickstarter phase and haven’t regretted my decision! I anticipate that 6.5 to reach an 8/10 or higher given what I have seen so far, and based on the fact that review is for the current early-access game.

Playing through Warlocks while it was in development was a lot like being a parent. It seems like it was only yesterday that I had high hopes for this fantasy take on Risk of Rain called Warlocks (who goes by Warlocks vs Shadows now because he is an edgy teenager), but hoped for better item variety, more content and better enemy balancing. But now, just a few months later Warlocks vs. Shadows is all grown up and ready to disappoint me!
The characters in WvS all look very different, but whatever difference they had in playstyle gets lost quickly in the middle of mindless battles. There might be some stats and abilities that are different but none of the characters' abilities really stuck out to me. The pyromancer’s channeling dance spell was neat, but other than that I just remember the characters shooting different colors and dashing around. In the opening tutorial the game explains the mechanics of each character and their four abilities, except for one character who can change forms and has 6 abilities, but none of the little tips seemed to matter because enemies just swarm you and your only concern is dealing damage. There are hardly any scenarios where I needed to use the angel’s double jump, or watch the robot’s overheating meter because there was no need. Overall combat lacked variety and a learning curve: everytime I started the game as a new character the tutorial walked me through every character’s abilites assuring me that I would need to pay attention to all of this, but really I didn’t because the enemies are weak, cooldowns are a joke, and there are no items that change up how you play.

Cathedral 3-D
“I like the aesthetics and bold discount tactics” - My friend Berry
I’ve got to say that this game is really great. I don’t know if there is anything else like it or if it’s emulating a style but that does not matter. Cathedral 3D’s movement, speed, style, and mechanics combine for an awesome time.
The game has a simple tutorial, some would argue to simple. Just get in there and play, figure out routes, learn what attacks work best, and stack combo orbs which give you invincibility, shield, or invincibility for your chest. To reload your health and ammo, you must be holding the chest as you run over the grails. Additionally, your point modifier depletes if you stray to far from the chest.

I’d say this game is well worth your time if youre a fan of arena shooters with a unique spin. Fans of Devil Daggers and the like will feel at home with this fast paced First Person Demon-er.
While the game doesn’t do much in terms of hand holding, there’s a bit to take in mechanic wise at first. But after a few play-throughs and learning the ins and outs on your own its an easy beast to tame. Flying around as a demon in this massive gorgeous cathedral feels so satisfying and blasting away and taking out your foes its a lot of fun.

Half Minute Hero: Super Mega Neo Climax Ultimate Boy
This is no doubt one of my favorite games in the library, and I highly, HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who likes Action games or Old School RPG satire. The game is about a boy who sets out to save a kingdom and, through a twist of fate, ends up making a pact with the Time Goddess to save the world…which only has 30 seconds until it explodes!
The game mostly parodies people, gaming, and most of all, the classic RPG, and it does it well. The game as a whole is really a parody, making it a point to “Grind, Grind, Grind!” when really getting to high levels only takes a few minutes. While the player only has thirty seconds to save the world, they can pray to the Time Goddess and, with an added fee, can turn back the clock. The story is expansive, and there are multiple paths and multiple endings, as well as multiple ways to go about each level (some story arcs even being surprisingly serious and tense).

Truthfully, going into this game, I didn’t know what to expect. With the name telling me I have 30 seconds to complete a mission, I thought it was going to be very easy. This is far from the case. As others have mentioned, this game makes you think strategically about when to grind, when to spend your money, how to spend said money, when the best time to fight the boss would be, etc. It’s this balance while forcing you to think on your feet that makes it so interesting. Some missions you may beat the first time, others, especially the bonus missions, may take you two, or three, or even more attempts at them, but you will most likely end up loving it every time and, at least in my experience, rarely, if ever, ever give up in anger because it’s that fun and addicting.
