Child Arms
Inspired by the popular Punch-Out!! and the obscure Neo Geo series Crossed Swords, the arcade-style Child Arms is a game in which you can fight all foes to reach each character’s personalized ending, or you can duke it out in online or local battles. You can also play mini-games and even alter characters' appearances and behaviours in the color and AI editors.
Child Arms takes place in a 16th century unlike our own, wherein humankind remains youthful far longer, and have accordingly shaped their world differently from ours. As a player, you can select one of 8 fighters from varied backgrounds as they explore their previously-undiscovered world, rising to the challenge of combatants along the way.

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.

Desert War
RPG or indie thrash game ? I haven’t decided yet, but when I played it, I liked it and therefore I will leave a review.

If you like games in a pixel retro style, pay attention to this small slasher with the development of the hero. There are a lot of enemies and action, nice animation and stylish pixelart.

INDIE FANTASY LOCAL MULTIPLAYER GAME FOR FRIENDS AND FAMILY, SET UP ON THE WORLD OF ETERNALIA

The idea of creating this videogame came in when spending time with our young family members (e.g. nephews and niece) playing a videogame. It should be easy to play, not too many buttons, yet plenty of fun. We are scripting from the very beginning everything to accommodate three languages; English, French and Spanish, so the videogame will be available en those three languages.
We just give you for now a video and a couple of screen capture of the first tests.
We are thinking on adding a script to be able to import your own pictures to the game, so instead of having the 4 portraits of each character, you may import yours. I bet my niece and nephews would love that.
Alpha version of the videogame, actual game play, is working well.
Initial early version: integrating First Person Mode on split screen with main campaign, for up to 4 players;
GAME CONTROLLERS
You may use;
-
Xbox One controllers or similar
-
Keyboard & Mouse
LOCALISATION
I have been integrating different languages from the very beginning of programming / development. I use Dialogue System from Pixel Crushers which allows easy integration, and for specific short texts as in the Main Menu, I have just hardcode it. Once you choose a language, Dialogue System keeps / save that info for the entire videgame, so upon load an scene, Dialogue System load all previous saved data including language chosen.
For Sparta
PROS:
-
A decent variety of enemies. There are about 3-4 different skins for each monster, but they each have varying attacks and behaviours to keep things interesting.
-
A large selection of craftable perks to potentially obtain.
-
The controls handle well. Dodging and attacking feels responsive and enjoyable.
-
Action-packed generally speaking. Enemies spawn in waves throughout a day, but if you take too long, the next wave will spawn in to keep you on your toes.
-
Satisfying and appropriate sound effects.

Great little arcade game. It’s difficult and has a lot of random elements that can make it anywhere from challenging to near impossible, but with games being so fast/short and the ability to restart in a couple of seconds it’s not normally frustrating.
If you like old school keyboard bashing this is for you.

MetaMorph: Dungeon Creatures
Truth in reviewing: I was a late addition to the beta team and got a copy for free.
I’ve enjoyed my time with MetaMorph. It’s a good, solid dungeon crawler with some fine carnage and tight, well-paced levels. It doesn’t do anything particularly revolutionary with the Gauntlet template, but it has a samurai bunny rabbit and flying buzzsaws. It’s the little things.
The gimmick of the game is simple enough: you play a fantasy critter that can (eventually) morph between three forms. You’ve got your sword-wielding rabbit (fast and deadly), your ogre (big and smashy), and a fire nymph that can toast enemies at range. Your job is to obliterate all the monsters in each level and scoot to the exit. Each form has its own stengths and special attacks, so the trick is to use the right Morph at the right time for maximum effectiveness, and also to not die so much. Enemies tend to bunch up and march as a horde, which CAN lead to some need for kiting (that’s bad!), but can also lead to situations where you obliterate a zillion guys at once with good timing. (That’s good!)

One of the most fun ARPGs I’ve played. Each level is less than 4 minutes long and works like a puzzle. There are no useless loot drops every couple of minutes like some other ARPGs and the progression is simple but very satsifying. unlocking new spirit forms and unlocking abilites for them is always exciting.
Each of the forms work VERY differently from the others and you will HAVE to shuffle between them dr=uring gameplay because of their abilites. Add to that the excellent level design and you have yourself a VERY enjoyable and simplified arpg where the only thing that matters is gameplay.

Sacred 3
Giving Sacred 3 a negative review is like beating a dead horse. With a bloody Mjölnir. And extreme prejudice. Everybody hated this game. Literally, everybody. But since it was years since the initial release of the game and all of us had more than enough time to calm down a bit, I think it’s a good time to look back for a bit and think. Was Sacred 3 really that bad? Let’s find out.
The original Sacred was a blast. Not only it was one of the most ambitious games in the genre (up to this day nobody ever tried to create such a huge ARPG, as long as we’re not talking “online only” stuff), it was also one of those rare cases when ambitions didn’t lead to the failure. It was a huge game taking place in open world environment. And it was good. Sure, the balance was all over the place but the game wasn’t about balance. It was about pure ARPG fun in a scale that never been shown before. Well, technically it was but you know what I mean. We’re talking Diablo here, not The Faery Tale Adventure. Not only the world in Sacred was huge, it also looked beautiful, had a nice handmade feeling and there were tons of quests to complete. Naturally, as the result, it ended up being a big hit. Press loved it, players loved it, there were novels, merchandise and so on.

Let’s get one thing straight.
To Sacred 1 fans, this game is a total disaster and an affront to old fans like myself.
To everyone else, this is an amazing CASUAL game where you sit on the couch and you play on the controller with your buddies.
This game can’t be considered a true-to-Sacred game. You will be severely disappointed if you expect awesome loot sets, lots of cities and landscapes to explore, dragons to slay, and quests to undertake. It’s NOT that kind of game. Sacred 3 is not Sacred 1 or 2. Not even remotely close.

I had a lot of fun with this game! Fast paced action, good amount of different weapons, funny characters… Despite the simple art style, it also looks gorgeous (I’m in love with some of the light effects). You can thoroughly customise the difficulty with several sliders in Options, where you can also find some helpful accessibility choices.
Some good hours of button smashing fun watching enemies fly all around, and a bit more strategy needed against tougher enemies or particular combinations of them. Some collectibles, hidden stuff, secret ending… Long story short, great indie and good value for your money. As I always say, if it gives you more hours of entertainment than a cinema ticket, it deserves at least that money, right?

This game appeared on my store page and the name caught my attention. After seeing that the game wasn’t that much I decided to buy it, and I can say the game is definitely worth the price. If you ever just want the ability to rip through hordes of enemies and just feel the satisfaction of taking out a large group of minions at once then this game differently achieves that.
One thing for certain is that you need to have patience since some of the bosses are pretty challenging. But with enough perseverance, you can beat any of the bosses. This game is a 10/10 for me and even though I have beaten the game to 100% I am definitely going to play more.
