Short old-school beat-em up game with no vertical movement whatsoever. Cool pixel-art, O.K. chiptune music, a little bit of light puzzling and the rest is a grind of timing and death. It even comes with a boss-fight. Don’t expect much, it delivers its premise. Plays like a heavily polished jam game. It takes an hour and a half to get through the whole deal.
(One of the developers is a friend of mine and I say you should keep an eye out on this studio for future releases.)

Broken Blades
Broken Blades is extraordinary, so many unexpected alternatives and creativity.
The game is a blast and I’m happy playing it and having it in my library !
Suggestions :
-
I always had the shield bar empty. I finished the game and no vendor I found, offered shields.
-
A tad too hard, and I found no save points.
-
An ingame map would increase the allure so much :
I progressed going around and around till finding new areas by luck and perseverance.
Thought the game was short and over at times, but instead, it is so big.

I found difficulty too harsh you die way too easy not fun when everything in the game is stronger than you. Is there a check point in this game don’t know can’t seem to progress really mixed on this one.

Kitsune Killer
Attempting to play the game here:
First off there’s a major glitch always at 6 hearts if an enemy suicides they stop spawning I also unfortunately found out on stage 4 at 34 hearts and 39 hearts it glitches as well. I gave this game my best attempt, but stage 4 they are so suicidal it’s annoying and no longer worth the effort. Dialogue at the start is WAY too fast as well. This is just personal preference, but I really wish you had to platform to the enemies instead of being able to dash through platforms with your slash. I like the concept of the game and when it works it’s pretty dang cool I like it enough I’m not going to refund it even though it’s broken, but as it is right now absolutely cannot recommend game is broken.

Armed with Wings: Rearmed
Having played the original Armed With Wings and its sequels as a kid, I was really excited when this was greenlit for Steam. I always wondered how a small 30min or so flash game would fare and what kind of final product the developers could create.
I gotta say, the final result exceeded my expectations.
SPOILERS BELOW (Though really, the original game has been out for so long that it really doesn’t matter)
The lore behind the first game and its sequels really created a lot of creative potential in expanding the idea of this game. Now that I think about, the gameplay in the original Armed With Wings was a lot less dynamic then its successors. It got to the point where I was confused at how the Lone Warrior was able to defeat Vandheer when he was so powerful in the 2nd game.

I dsicovered the armed with wings series by pure accident and I played the games since they were released on armorgames.com. I played a bit of the first one,but I wasn’t all too into it. The next game in the series I played was…blood moon I think it was called? It was a good game,but I wasn’t all too into that one either. I was able to tell they were the same game however. Next up,I played armed with wings two,following the story of vandheer lorde. It was right up my alley. The boss fights,the atmosphere,the enemies,the five main weapons of choice you could pick. (One was endgame.) However,it didn’t have it’s own soundtrack at this point if memory serves,just used other music. Didn’t really phase me however. It had been a few years and I had found the third game of the series,this one adding some new twists on the combat system,which I loved so much. You fought with not only your sword,but now with different martial arts styles. (The god styles were the most powerful of course. What would you expect?) Lastly was culmination,which was essentially armed with wings 1 with more polish I guess? I dunno,the game was confusing to me.

Cosmic Cat
This is a pretty bare-bones shooter. Things move pretty fluidly, but beyond that there’s little variety in play.
The biggest irritation is that, even with a basic game like this, the developer clearly didn’t spend any real time bug-testing anything. Your number of kills never increments, and since all of the achievements are based upon number of enemies destroyed, it essentially breaks all of the achievements.
Beyond that, if you die and have to restart, it’ll call the wave you’re playing “level 1” again, but it will keep the difficulty (in terms of planets you need to destroy and enemies chasing you) at the level you were when you died. I can’t tell if earned power-ups from before still apply (i.e., roguelike), or if these are reset (which would make starting a new game at the difficulty level when you died especially unfair). It’s hard to tell because the power-ups don’t have a very significant effect (I assume you need to collect a LOT of these before they make any appreciable difference).

Challenging enough, I like the cat pilot destroyer of worlds.

Hero Sword
Hero Sword is a “template flip”, that is to say, it’s a “game” that has been produced by copying a game template or using a game construction kit, and changing a few things. In this case it was a game construction kit/template for doing a simple retro 2D side scrolling brawler game.
This is deplorably low quality bundle trash. No professional effort was made in terms of game development, copying a template/using a game construction kit requires no talent, and unsurprisingly produces products that have little to no value as games, especially when compared to the work of professional developers who create genuine products for gamers. It’s almost as bad as an outright asset flip.

Our Hero! Two
I really really enjoyed the game so much that I played it twice. The most funny part is definitely the opponents and the author has an irony and a way of creating the story that really fascinates me and made me laugh a lot (I had a lot of lol moment). A masterpiece

A really cool adventure and a well written story. Locations and musics are awesome. The combat system could be improved in future games, but it is already fun to play.

The Slormancer
A good, and promising ARPG. There are a lot of original mechanics, and concepts compared to other games of the same genre that make the game play quite enjoyable. Many of the flaws I am seeing in the game are because of its early access status rather than poor game design which leaves this title with much promise in the future!
Please note that some of the cons listed below are more easy to ignore for me because of its “early access” title although that may not be the same case for every player. Nothing wrong with wanting a “complete game”, and if that is you then I highly recommend looking elsewhere in potential titles such as ‘Grim Dawn’ or ‘Chronicon’. Also please note that everything listed below is highly subjective to change at any time. I’ll try to update this review whenever I can, but some of the bullet points can become invalidated with future game updates before I can follow through on my part. If you are interested in someday buying this game while being hesitant to pulling the trigger on a purchase then I encourage you to look into recent update logs rather than Steam reviews before doing so.

While the game today, on release, is quite fun, and the mechancics feel solid, there is always one big issue: Early Access.
Now, I bought the game because it seemed fun, first and foremost. Of course some buyers will have some sense of pride in the dev team because of their nationality, especially when you know of Wolcen. I still shudder to think about the sheer mediocrity, and even complete incompetence of this dev team. That said, one could say they had nothing concrete under the hood in the first place, and we should have all went away after they did some weird shit in the early stage.
