Gladii
If your gaming group is into this genre and style its a great little game night addition. Not sure how the difficulty scales but with 3 players its plenty hard still!

Brings back memories of playing old school beat’em ups at the arcade, except no need for quarters. Borderline impossible to play some of the characters alone, which limits replayability if you don’t have a couple of friends to play with. Overall it was surprisingly enjoyable, though definitely needs some more polish.

Gladio
Gladio has a satisfying gore mechanic and unique fighting system. The game does have its issues though, blocking sometimes does not activate at all and kicking sends enemies through the map or past the invisible wall where I cannot reach them, forcing me to restart. Overall this game is a blast and it will surely develop further into an awesome game in the future, but for now you should avoid kicking!
Recommendations:
-More weapons and maybe a shield
-The ability to mix and match armor
-The option to choose which enemies spawn

When first looking at Gladio one might think it is a tiny fighting game with with no real ingame progress and attacks that could seriously use some work. You would not be wrong. The player is in a small-ish box and has to fight enemies, the only progress is watching the wave counter go up, and attacks can seem quite stupid at times.
Still, this game can be a lot of fun when you lack something to do. Add some bounce or whatever music floats your boat (the game has no soundtrack), and you are in for half an hour of adrenaline while trying to crack that level 3 armor.

Metamorphos
It’s a nice short Souls-like game that can be finished for around an hour and a half.
Graphics are great, but somehow not too optimized even if I set the quality at its lowest. Some animations feels stiff, but this is just nit-picking on my part.
Controls felt really clunky. I don’t know if it’s just me, or the game feels unresponsive. There are times that my character just stands still no matter how much I move my analog stick. The camera moves fine, but I can’t attack nor evade. Its really annoying since this always happens when I’m battling enemies.

Action Commando 2
This is more of a Neutral case than a real recommend. While this game generally falls short of expectations, it is still enjoyable, the gameplay is solid, the game itself is stable. I still had fun. Yet, read on and weigh whether it will be worth it for you.
Let’s start with the negative to balance out that this is a Recommend review.
- Very short. I beat it on normal in about 2.25 hours, and that’s with some messing around wasting time. The first game took me about 3.5. (Note: I was already used to the gameplay having played Town of Machine ((the superior of the three)), so the time difference between the Action Commando games was not due to getting more used to the style).
– Real player with 2.8 hrs in game
Action Commando 2 is extremely rushed. I wouldn’t mind “more of the same” if there was at least some attempt to make it seem like the next chapter… but there isn’t. The only area that looks different is, deceptively enough, the start so you’re lead to believe that at least the aesthetics are different. But no such luck. Very soon we’re back to the same old underground corridors that look exactly like in the previous game. Oh you like that cool background with asteroids and space ships? Well, better take a good look because that’s the only time you’ll see it! It gets so bad that the final level literally reuses areas from Town of Machine and our big payoff for finishing the game is… Nothing! I mean it, there’s not even a text at the end. You just press a button and that’s it, credits roll. Not to mention it’s even shorter than AC1. This game costs almost nothing and yet I still feel ripped off.

Grand Battle
Must buy if you like RPGs!
It’s nice to see a solid, well presented and very playable game of this type appear without the usual hype and fanfare, and get plenty of attention for its gameplay rather than its sexy heroine or Hollywood guest stars. These game has made it work. I can tell this is going to be extremely replayable. There is 10 heroes and you make a party of 4 at any one time. You also choose a starting hero and your first partner varies depending on who you choose.

The game takes a little adjusting to but honestly is really enjoyable and reminiscent of a classic old school RPG. You can stat up characters, use equipment slots and seems like there are a lot of abilities just like you would expect. Not a huge story game but seems like a fun hack and slash.

Kawaii Deathu Desu
Kawaii Deathu Desu is basically the sum of its parts. It is about as straight foward as a game can get. If there is an enemy to the left, attack left. If there is an enemy to the right, attack right. It really is as simple as that. There has been a lot of comparisons to One Finger Death Punch and I can understand where people are coming from but there is one crucial difference: One Finger Death Punch (OFDP) insists that you don’t button mash. You won’t directly lose if you do, but you will be made vulnerable, and will likely die as a result. It will also damage your score at the end of the level. Kawaii Death Desu does not have such scruples. For this game you will have to break out the old crack hands and go to town as you mash left and right slaughtering thousands before you.

I was expecting something that required a bit of reaction and thinking, like One Finger Death Punch, but instead I found this game to be nothing but mashing. You can beat anything by just killing your fingers.
Then I figured “if it’s so mindless, I might as well put up a macro recording to play the game for me.” So I did. That was a lot more interesting. I actually got quite a kick out of figuring out some kinks that a macro recorder has.
So after one day and one night just letting this fancy screensaver play itself, I got every character unlocked and maxed, and I have zero interest in doing anything with them because the game has no challenge in it. If you have working fingers, you’ll beat it. This isn’t the same as simple being fun, One Finger Death Punch was simple and that was a lot of fun because it bothered to require at least some kind of brain chemistry and had variation. A small child might see the amusement in this thing on a cellphone, that’s who I’d recommend it to.

Soulbound Steel
I really liked the idea of the game. some things need to be adjusted.
– Real player with 3.0 hrs in game
Pretty good so far.
Core gameplay is a bit tricky at first, but if you time your parries properly and doesn’t just spam them, you’ll be good to go.
Your special ability is even trickier but then I learned to use it in sync with my rmb. It creates this huge AOE skill.
I wonder if I can change my scores without starting a new game, though. Going to back to a castle won’t reset it.
UI could be better, music and graphics are great.
