Bestiary of Sigillum
It’s a decent game, but with two major flaws at the moment.
1. Small community. You could be waiting an opponent for 10-15 minutes to no avail.
2. “Out of sync” bug in Custom mode. I tried to play with my friend two month ago. We managed to play one game out of three without the bug. Sure, there is some fun in playing two different games at once, but only the first time.
Though I doubt that anything can be done with the first problem in the near future, I hope the developers at least fix the second one. So the thumb up is not to the game at its current state, but to the game it might become if devs at least fix Custom mode and add AI mode.

So far pretty fun! Trying to counter your apponent makes the game pretty interesting. However, when my brother and I play against eachother on seperate PCs we sometimes get this problem where we are playing different games kind of. It’s like the game is not tracking our moves and displaying them correctly on the others PC. So, I will see my borthers moves one way that is contrary to how my brother actually moved his characters. Besides that great game!

Auro: A Monster-Bumping Adventure
Update: amazingly, the game was ported to Unity five years after release and many of the issues were fixed. I still encounter the occasional bug, but I have no reservations about recommending it now.
[original review below]
One of my favorite roguelikes ever.
At first the strange mechanics of the game make you feel impotent. Why can’t I just attack monsters!? But pushing monsters into water is the name of the game here and it feels way more satisfying than simply hacking at them. Beyond that is the spell system. In each round you get 4 randomly selected spells + a slot for a one-use pickup. If you’re clever enough, you can wipe out a whole screen of monsters at once. The way your spells recharge by picking up energy from floor tiles is tactically interesting and not something I’ve seen elsewhere.

Disclaimer: I am currently a part time developer for Dinofarm games. I was lucky enough to fall madly in love with the mobile version of this game (where I player well over 1,000 runs) prior to joining the dev-team, though, and can safely say that I would enjoy this game tremendously even if I wasn’t one of the programmers behind it.
Auro is a turn-based rogue-like that introduces two key innovations to the genre. The first is its ranking system, which generates levels for the player based on their persistent skill level. It cuts down dramatically on the stress you may experience in the first few hours of most rgue-likes, and helps make sure that you always have a fighting chance and that all of your runs will be exciting and dramatic.

It’s a great game to play when your friends are around, though you need to find enough controllers for everybody.
But when you have found these controllers, oh boy, fun guaranteed.
Sometimes you need to explain the game a little, and for me it’s lagging a bit now and then but otherwise a really fun game.

Warbands: Bushido
Warbands:Bushido isn’t that bad. Indeed, there are very good points such as the graphics and th concept : we don’t have that many minatures games, especially japanese ones. The rules are easy to learn but hard to master. There are numerous options mixing units and cards. I also must disagree with the fact it’s a “pay to win” game because you don’t need real money to buy new units, scenarios or cards. Of course, the possibility to spend a few bucks is offered but it’s not mandatory because you will get ryos (virtual money of the game) to do the same : it will take more time, that’s all…Plus, for every new day you’re connected, you get 100 dust (used to buy Legendary units) and 50 ryos.

Warbands: Bushido is a digital collectable miniatures game, a good one. Not that I’ve played many digital minis games, but bear with me. I’ll throw out the the one low point first, the English isn’t great and can be confusing (though there’s a thread to help them update!). It’s enough to get by on, but some unit descriptions are fairly confusing until you see them in action a couple times.
Where Warbands: Bushido shines is in it’s short, tactical PvP battles and the incremental rewards it dishes out that keep you searching for just one more opponent. There are single-player campaigns but since they don’t help you level up your units or acquire more than a small handful of units, they’re never going to get you into the heart of the game: collecting and maturing a group of Seven Samurai-esque killing machines while planting other people’s would-be heroes in the ground.
