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.

The Legend of Tianding
As a Taiwanese, I can’t recommend The Legend of Tianding enough.
A 2D platformer beat’em up game, the platform stages & the combat system are the core aspect of the game. The combat system is responsive & flows very well, with a weapon-stealing mechanic that allows you to steal the weapon of virtually every normal enemy unit (tho the weapons are of limited use.) As you progress through the stage, you also learn special kung fu moves that complement your arsenal of skills. These special moves are not only useful in combat, but are often essential in traversing the platform stages as well, especially for the optional treasure part of the game. The grappling mechanic (using the same waist scarf you use to steal weapons) takes a bit of getting use to, but once perfected it is a lot of fun to play with as well.

Played on the harder difficulty. A very solid 2D sidescrolling beatemup with a unique cultural presentation (Taiwanese folklore), superb art-style, great music/sound design and voiceover. The story while pretty straightforward overall, it does have a couple really nice twists, and I especially love the narrator’s style.
Overall The levels are edging on dragging over a bit longer than they should be (IMHO), but the jumping puzzles are good and varied enough to keep it flowing.
Combat-wise it feels really good to use the combos, just-dodges and projectile-deflections - the iconic weapon stealing move can be chained together with almost every move you make (and the enemy weapons are really useful at times) thus making this combat experience somewhat different from other great 2D side-beat’mups that came before it.

Barbarian Souls
This game is an absolute masterpiece. I wish the dev would have charged more than $14.99! I would have happily paid up to $70 for this game. Barbarian Soul’s beutiful scenery will go down in history. The graphics in this game could go head to head with mainstream games like The Last of Us and Cyberpunk 2077 and I 100% believe it could win. I was absolutely DUMBFOUNDED when this game wasn’t nominated for GOTY 2019. The gameplay mechanics are on par with souls like games such as Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2, Dark Souls 3, Dark Souls Remastered, Dark Souls 2 Remastered, and Crash Bandicoot. The ambient sounds like the rain and thunder are so beautiful that I could listen to them to fall asleep. I wish steam would allow me to buy multiple copies of this game so i could have a steam library FULL with Barbarian Souls. I love this game so much and would recommend it to anyone and I mean ANYONE that loves story driven and absolutely beautiful games!

Ok, so the only positive thing I can say about this game is that the visuals are pretty decent.
For the rest I did not play much, I found the combat and AI to be extremely unpolished. Also the game could do with more weapons.
At this time I cannot recommend this game, gonna need alot of work.

Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition
Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition
Quick Summary
Devil may Cry 4 (DMC4) is a wonderful addition to the DMC series. Introducing new style switching for Dante, a whole cast of vibrant bosses, a mediocre story,
and a new main character called Nero!
Pros
-
Nero is a really cool character with one hell of an arm!
-
Dante is much more in depth, opening up a wider range of skills and styles
-
Variety of enemies that really stand out visually and physically
– Real player with 91.4 hrs in game
Really a big fan of the series, but I’ll try to keep this from influencing this review.
DMC4:SE added three very enjoyable characters, costumes and Legendary Dark knight Mode (Legendary DKM mode is only new for console).
Vergil:
+Moves and skills from DMC3:SE and teleporting trick from DmC are mixed with this character along with moves unrelated.
+Three weapons to choose from- Beowulf, Yamato, Force Edge.
+Concentration gauge. Gauge raised by standing still in combat and making hits, losing gauge by missing and running around.

Devil May Cry HD Collection
“I should have been the one to fill your dark soul with LIIIIIIGHT!!!!”
Amazing trilogy, older Action/Hack and Slash games can sometimes feel very clunky and slow in comparison to more recent games however these games hold their own and were definitely revolutionary to the genre for their time.
DMC was very enjoyable, a very solid introduction into the games. The puzzles and boss fights can be quite challenging even if you are playing on standard difficulty or even if this is your first DMC experience (like myself). Exploring the castle was very interesting as every area felt new and different without reprinting the same textures for different areas of the map which is what you tend to see in a lot of the older PS2 Games.

Devil May Cry 4
The Special Edition (re-release/standalone expansion) is coming out on June 24th as a separate product. If you were considering this, I suggest you wait a few months.
Devil May Cry 4 is intended for a controller, playable with a keyboard (on the highest difficulties and for doing advanced combos)- but bizarre as the mouse is only for menus. In a lot of cases the game will require the player to press 3+ keys at the same time without ghosting (common in cheap keyboards made only for typing).
– Real player with 745.4 hrs in game
Devil May Cry 4 is an amazing hack-and-slash game that is easy to learn and hard to master. The combat system is very in depth and there is always more room for improvement, even for the greatest masters of the game. It also has many different difficulty levels that will keep you busy for HOURS. You get to play as either Nero, who has a very interesting combat system because of his grab ability, and Dante, who has a variety of weapons and fighting styles to choose from while in game, giving an indefinite number of possibilities for combos. Plus, the game is very pretty, even on the lowest graphics settings, and for a PC port, it is not that bad.

I Will be brutally honest in my review here and this is for anyone who hasnt yet played the game and might think of giving it a try.
Firstly the game is so blatantly unfinished that’s very clear, the systems it has are what i hope to be “placeholder”.
The Combat is stiff and lacks fluidity simply hold your attack and move away if at low health, although they have/are attempting to make it better with recent updates such as adding abilities to equip on your hotbar which is a nice change of pace.

Defect Process
This game is addictive and fun to play. It is a good fighting game with a fair amount of strategy. The 2D environment is deceptively simple but there are a lot of complex moves and a good amount of weapon choices. Every time you die, you try to figure out a better way to utilize the weapon or use a more effective weapon.
It seems like there was a lot of thought that went into designing the weapons and enemies. It was a lot of fun figuring out how to handle each enemy’s specific attack patterns with the different weapons. For example, using the teleport to pass through the laser wall or trying to time the stone form correctly to reflect the regular laser attack.

Defect Process shines through its singular focus on satisfying combat. It’s relatively short (around 3 hours to my first boss kill) and straight-forward (combat arenas mixed with light platforming sections), so there is not much else on offer (though it looks like there is much to come). But that’s ok because the combat feels really good.
Each weapon is completely unique, and really requires a new play-style to get the most out of. For example, the staff initially felt like a wet noodle that was largely fun for its ability to let me hop around like a mad man. But once you get to used to spamming and recharging the whirlwind ability, you can unlock an incredible amount of DPS (while still hopping around like a mad man).

Devil May Cry 5
This game is short, but it’s a gem for sure
between the stylish gameplay that puts all other spectacle fighters to shame, and the variety of really fun characters that are all really fun and compliment a different playstyle, and the… subpar but still really good multiplayer aspect of the some sections of the game (there’s a mod that let’s you use the co-op on all missions btw, see Nexusmods)
Once you finally get good at the game and unlock all of the moves, you can pull off some REALLY stylish combos, even I’ve managed a few
