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.

Rum & Gun
Hi!
Here is yet another game review after playing this game for a while i truly got into it and i am enjoying it.
This is a pirate game without any ships a rowing boat yes but no ships so if you are looking for a pirate game with ships to sail the high seas and sink ships and steal their plunder then this game is not for you.
This game is based around YOU a pirate on land killing monsters and other fellow pirates you will have various maps to unlock spread over various (ACTS) i am on Act 2 but i think there will be 3 Acts or more to unlock.

I’ve been following this game’s development for some time, and I instantly bought it.
What really surprised me is that just for 4 euros, I expected much less content. Only one act is playable currently, but it contained 6 hours of gameplay to me. So the first big issue of the game, is that it’s too cheap :D
I would say that it’s base is similar to Diablo II, but with interesting twists on the mechanics, and the combat got a good, Doom-like, situation based weapon arsenal, which I enjoyed mastering. In the early stages the builds are flexible as well, but by the end of the game, I started dying, so I had to use most of my toolkit, changing my weapons nearly from enemy to enemy. Which was a good feeling, because I could master my skills for a long time.

Soulbound Steel
I really liked the idea of the game. some things need to be adjusted.

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.

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).

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.

Larva Mortus
This is a small top down shooter that is a horror based dungeon crawler. It’s actually pretty good for a small independent project like this. It’s not super polished, but it’s not overwhelmingly amateur either.
The game does have some bugs here and there, and one that can really hurt your achievement hunting, so be careful of that.
The game has a mix of it’s normal campaign missions, as well as randomly generated missions that appear on the map as yo complete more. Most of the campaign missions are level locked, including the first one so you have to play a couple of the random missions to level up enough to access the main missions. This is fairly easy anyways. There is an good mix of enemies and weapons you fight and get. It does get harder as you go, though there seems to be a point where things don’t get any harder despite you leveling up. However there is the difficulty setting where you can set from easy, normal and hard, and change it at any time from the map on your save file. You will want to start on easy as even on normal the difficulty ramps up pretty high with more enemies and them hitting you much harder.

General
Larva Mortus is a typical example of a isometric budget shooter with semi-cartoonish graphics. The interesting in it is the extremly low price due the constant 90%-off price label, which puts it into the bellow 50 cents category. And for that it offers quite a few good things.
Gameplay
We are controlling a monster hunter looking guy from a birds perspective, which gives us a quite good overview trough combat. Our hero is easy to work with, which is definitely welcomed as combat always happens in cramped rooms. The mechanics is exactly this - you basically go from room to room and clean them out from monsters. Levels are generated randomly so you never know into what you go, but as long the level design regardless of the environment serves the same purprose, it doesn’t really requires you some change in tactics or would surprise you in any way. The enemies vary from basic undead, flying bats to spiders and poison spitting fat zombies. Except the boss level templars, they don’t really represent any serious force and usually are trying to make up for the lack of their power with rather high numbers. Very importantly - try not leave the room until is not cleared out entirely, cause the room will reset even if only one enemy remains and you need fight the horde once again. Exceptions might be missions where you need to rescue a certain number of civilians, blasting trough the rooms and just focusing on the rescue can save some time and nerves.

Mad Devils
I’ve had an awesome time playing Mad Devils so far! The plot is really interesting and I can’t wait to restart in Inferno Mode. My favourite characters are Chester and Harris so far, and the boss fights are brutal. If you’re a fan of Diablo 3 or Dark Souls, this game definitely scratches that itch. Haven’t hit any bugs so far. Just remember you can use your Blood Shards and XP points in the Pause Menu to upgrade your characters, it’s a lifesaver!

This indie developed game has very faded washed out graphics, repetitive dull combat, no mini-map to show where you are going, no way to rotate the camera, and frame rate issues as well. Camera movement is also sluggish and stuttery, most likely due to the crap Unity engine the game runs on. The game also flashes to the desktop briefly every time a new level is loaded. Your character also seems to get stuck on everything in your path and every level looks the same, taking place mostly in outdoor fields surrounded by lava. A similar game that is MUCH better is Victor Vran. I would much rather play Victor Vran than this game any day.

Dice Knight: Mystery of the Moirai
If you like D&D, dice & all that good stuff, definitely try this game out. It’s a very fun & fast paced combat adventure. I love the idea that currency, ammunition for your guns, damage, health, & even the difficulty options are all tied together into the dice. The world is full of humorous sites & dialogue. The interactive dialogue with NPCs is pretty great & it feels like the choices you make in talking with them actually matters. Overall a fantastic game.

Very fun RNG based game where skill reigns supreme.

God’s Trigger
God’s Trigger:
Well, depending on your belief, when you take your last breath, you may end up either in Paradise or in Hell. It could be helpful to write your good deeds and not-so-good deeds on a slate in order to evaluate where you might be going in the afterlife. Of course, that would be very a subjective evaluation, but if you had no time to reflect and the Apocalypse was about to occur, what would you do? I guess you’d be praying for a miracle. Well, you’ve been heard! Heaven and Hell have combined forces to defy the archangel Gabriel’s plan to start the Apocalypse in God’s Trigger!

### More interesting reviews on [Fenol Baron Approves Curator Page](https://store.steampowered.com/curator/33843777//)
The fallen angel and demoness unite to confront the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Big guns, many explosions, angelic swords, many psychedelic fantasies (each Horseman has his own insane flock, obediently following any of his orders). “God's Trigger” is a top-down shooter, in which both the player and the enemies fall from just one successful shot, with a very fast and dynamic action, a skill leveling system and (suddenly) puzzles. There are a lot of things involved in the game, it is noticeable that the developers decided to embody a lot of creative ideas, the question is, did it all work 100%

### TLDR
It's just alright. Nice coat of paint, responsive combat system, depth of a puddle with a carrot-on-a-stick that's got a short stick.
It's a decent romp for a group of people for 10-15hrs before it starts feeling really repetitive. Pick it up on a sale if you have friends.
### The Ramble
The game looks colorful and everything from models to animations look and feel really good. The sound is functional but nothing spectacular. Controls are reponsive and snappy leading to pretty smooth combat on both controller and mouse and keyboard.
