Iron Snout
Sticking to my 5 pros and 5 cons, this will be as unbias as possible.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PROS:
1. Very addicting
2. 2 maps for when one gets boring or dry. You can get in an intense street fight, or a chaotic battle in the forest.
3. Keeps count of every wolf killed. You can compare and compete with your friends.
4. Respectful developer and he engages with the community. This is one of the most important things.
5. Always being worked on. This game will have plenty of new addons in the future, and many things will change. This keeps the experience fresh and it keeps you busy.

Oh my god, this game is too perfect.
You’re a martial arts, Jedi back-flipping ninja-esque Chuck Norris badass pig. That sums it up pretty well. You fight waves of weapon-wielding-wolves, all out for your blood. Why? Who knows? Who cares? All you need to know is that only one can survive. And that’s you because you’re a ninja pig.
The game never gets boring, really. I’ve played 16 hours so far and I haven’t gotten bored. Iron Snout + Star Wars soundtrack = win. Not only that, it’s so easy to pick up. The art style is both cute and amazingly badass. Also, I can introduce my little bro to it with the Kid-Friendly setting. The developer needs a high-five and someone needs to shout them a coffee. Actually, I’ll do it. I love this game.

Fantasy Strike
“Fantasy Strike is an easy-to-learn fighting game that you will not be remotely good at.”
What if you could always flawlessly execute every special move input, when you wanted to, every time? Would you dominate your opponent? What if they were similarly skilled? What happens when all the excuses evaporate?
Fantasy Strike is not an easy game. It is incredibly accessible in terms of execution and information given to both players; different coloured hit-sparks conveying frame advantage or disadvantage, flashing warnings when a throw could have been jumped out of and auras conveying a moves invincibility or armour. But every advantage is enjoyed by your opponent also.

There are many, many reasons why you, whether a fighting game expert or a complete newcomer like me, should play Fantasy Strike, but here’s a couple of my favourites.
The game was designed from the ground up with accessible depth in mind. Fighting games are notorious for having a steep learning curve, where you have to spend hours upon hours learning combos in the training room before you can get to the “real game”. This game does away with that execution barrier so you can start actually having fun pretty much immediately. You open up the game, play the tutorial explaining the basic mechanics, watch one of the in-game videos explaining how your character works and how to play them, and you’re good to start playing with other people. There are no complicated button combos to learn, all special moves are a single button press away at any time, so you can focus less on getting your hands to do complex motions quickly and more on trying to read and predict your opponent.

Bloody Efforts
Imagine your own mighty Heroes and make them REAL in Bloody Efforts.
Story:
_There were two Ancient Gods - Known and his older brother Unknown. The elder God created a whole world with mighty Elements and the younger one gave this world a life with all forms we know. Unfortunately, there was a conflict between the brothers, which turned into the battle. Clash of the Gods disturbed the world balance and brought many cataclysms upon all the races. The Elements began to fight each other and what is worse, a new ominous being appeared – the Hollow.
Until then, only a fraction of humanity managed to survive. Probably everyone would have been dead a long time ago, but something unexpected happened to the races. A new kind of people appeared, called Apostles. They are significantly different – stronger, faster, but the most remarkable is their ability to subdue power of the Elements. Some of the Apostles fight to restore order and peace once again. Others cooperate in achieving common goals. There are individuals who want to find remnants of the Gods or even get along with the Hollow, devoting their souls in exchange for new horrific powers. And who will you choose to be?_

Switch Fighters during the Game
Player needs to strategically choose their Band of 6 Apostles before the Match. Apostles are not equally matched and fit various roles (Warriors, Shooters, Tanks, Mages, Supporters, Assassins etc.). They get serious advantages or suffer disadvantages in different battle scenarios.
Killing is not everything (MOBA-like)
3-phased Modes with various Objectives make an opportunity to think tactically about the next move. Defending the base, setting the trap or outsmarting in Apostle choices can be the key to victory.
Brawlhalla
### EDIT: Overall, Brawlhalla has changed drastically since the release of this review. A lot of the information here is no longer correct and there are new gameplay features, dash being the most important. I certainly still feel that it is far too easy to avoid and/or delay interaction between yourself and the opponent, but it would be disingenuous of me to pretend the specifics of this review are still accurate.
Although I am giving this game a positive review, I must say that it comes with a massive disclaimer. If you just play Brawlhalla with your friends and never take it seriously, you will likely enjoy yourself. However, if you ever get good at this game and play at a decently high level, Brawlhalla’s glaring failures as a fighting game will become so unignorable that your desire to play it will steadily decline till you’re on the subreddit crying about the passive float meta like everyone else. All of the reviews - including the negative ones - are ignoring the real problems with this game, and it’s something I have thought about for a long time. So, I’ll try to explain my reasoning as best as I can and briefly include the reasons why I still consider it worth downloading despite its enormous flaws.

Brawlhalla has taken my soul, and wallet. Im bad but will 3 stock you. ggswp BMG
–- At a glance —
Brawlhalla is a free to play, Super Smash Bros esque Game that is easy to pick up, even for the most novice of gamers. This cartoon stylized game is primarily Online based but can also be played single player(Training and Couch Party with friends)
The simple visuals and punchy sfx will entice (and infuriate) most people who choose to pick this game up.
Overall, I recommend this game for everyone to try out at least once.

DimensionsVS
Hey, interesting game! It looks quite nice and has a cool concept behind it. I saw one of you the day before launch at the AIE open day and played the game shortly there. I’d like to give you a few opinions and tell you of some of the bugs I came across so hopefully you can fix them.
Firstly, I knew the controls going into the game, but I didn’t see any screen displaying the controls for controller or keyboard, so when I first played with a friend online, he had to experiment with all the keys on his keyboard to determine which one did what. If you could include a screen on the main menu for controls or eventually allow players to make keybinds, that would be great.

This game has very much potential. even tough it really needs polishment and bug fixes i think it can become a great game, but you really eed to fix theseissues, plus you should add some options to customize the game like the custom key bindings, or choosing the levels of brightness in game (i noticed abug were the brightness of the screen turns down even if in the desktop is at 100% so to solve this just make us decide the levels of brightness), it is a good game for now but there is still room for improvement. you should also do something for characters movesets because: 1) they bug sometimes resulting in the wrong attack (especialli on Mr.Televisor) 2) the movements are not exactly smooth as they should be and this can mean problems at the time of doing combos 3) the characters have no down attacks (attacks that go down, especially for hitting someone who’s over a cliff)

Ultra Fight Da ! Kyanta 2
Imagine if 3rd Strike, CvS2 and KoF98 had a baby. Imagine mixups so explosive and unpredictable your average marvel player would faint on the spot. Imagine comboing off a 3-Frame overhead into a billion damage. Imagine invincible, + on block reversals. Imagine ToDs on half the cast. Imagine neverending block pressure off a jab for every character in the game.
Imagine one of the nicest and most welcoming communities out there turning this game into something truly special. That is what Ultra Fight Da! Kyanta 2 is. A game that defies genre conventions, that challenges your decision making every second. If you can get over the… um, unique artstyle (if you play for long enough you might even find it charming eventually), this is an experience unlike anything else on the market right now. Offense is fun, defense is fun. Every character feels overpowered, every character feels balanced.

Snake lady best lady. Gator with gun is a barrel of fun. Taro’s win screen is the true villain of the game
So I heard Street Fighter 2 was a great game. What made it a great game? Everyone was overpowered in their own way, and losing to someone’s overpowered gimmick was entirely your fault. Why am I talking about this, and why am I accusing you of being a scrub all of a sudden? Well, calling you a scrub is fun, but lets talk about the 1st part more.
Old school, new rules

Beat Boxers
I’ve been looking for a game like this for such a long time and after finally finding it I couldn’t be happier. At first glance this my just seems like a simple side-scroller fighting game, but it didn’t take long to see the vast potential of this game. The ability to fight to the beat of any song of your choosing just seems incredible to many people including myself, although as of now there’s only local PvP (Hopefully there will be future updates so this review may not be relevent later on) . If over time a Player vs. Computer or online PvP was added along with some QOL changes (More and better fighting mechanics or an option to change controls, More characters, More stages and maybe a sort of leveling system if you really want to get into details) would make this game unimaginablely popular. With such vast potential and with this game being brand new (right now at least) I can only hope that there will be future updates with such things added into the game and bringing it to it’s fullest.

As of now the game is REALLY fun when played with music the player likes even with the incredibly limited (two) characters available. Unfortunately for that reason there isnt much replayability because of the limited characters and movesets.
I really hope this game improves overtime with more characters and movesets and also maps, because this game has incredible potential imo.
There are some awkward stuff about it like the animations a bit stale and when you use your ultimate the ultimates play music with the music chosen which creates a F*ckfest of sounds which is really unpleasant.

HYPERFIGHT
very addicting and fast-paced 2D fighter that focuses more on fundamental mechanics rather than memorizing complex combos. the developer responds to community feedback and is very kind. although there are only six characters, most of them have their own archetype, so there should be a character for anyone who gives this game a chance. very fun!

for all those who don’t understand, the meme comes from the fact that in your first rounds, the frog can seem broken.
this is not an actual critique.
overall fun game, great community on the discord, just don’t think of it as a standard fighting game or you may be surprised by how it plays.

Capcom Arcade Stadium
This collection makes me wish Steam had a “Mixed” option.
Capcom Arcade Stadium is ALMOST a viable alternative to playing these games in MAME / ShmupMAME, but a baffling design oversight compromises one of the biggest reasons to play this over unofficial emulators.
The games play well compared to the Nintendo Switch version. Lost Worlds' analog controls are simulated seamlessly. Built in autofire and button macros make doing special moves in games like Final Fight easier than ever! MOST IMPORTANTLY, there’s barely any input lag at all, COMBINE THAT with one of the nicest frontends I’ve seen in a good long while with LOTS of well-researched throwbacks to Capcom’s history, and you SHOULD have a slam dunk..

i can’t recommend this because capcom is forcing everyone to use censored street fighter 2 roms, a mediocre virtual arcade and no online multiplayer.
the experience this product offers is mediocre compared to other products on steam and created by the community, the other products require some effort to setup but you can achieve a superior experience to arcade stadium. capcom arcade stadium is also mediocre compared to other capcom products on steam.
new retro arcade neon offers better virtual arcade experience, you can get original arcade cabinet artwork, model and vr support. this is what the virtual arcade in capcom arcade stadium should have been.
