Distrust: Polar Survival
TL;DR: I love arctic survival games - but Distrust: Polar Survival is a lesson in how NOT to make an arctic survival game. Distrust is supposed to be a game about surviving in arctic conditions - yet once you figure out how to manage your resources, you’ll find the biggest challenge is surviving the many bugs like dropped connections and lost inventory.
PROS
I love arctic survival games, where you are not just fighting to survive but where the harsh conditions of the environment itself is killing you. If this doesn’t describe what you enjoy playing, I’d advise you to stop right now and pass on this game.

Distrust:
“Mayday. . . Can anyone hear us? . . . We need help. . . We’re losing people one after the other. . . HELLLP!” Then . . . silence. That’s when we decided to send a rescue team to our neighbouring Arctic base. But then, as the helicopter approached the base, screams were echoing all around. All we could decrypt on our end was “what is that light?” After that, all communication was cut and there was no sign of the chopper on our radar. I hope the rescue team survived the crash. That’s just the start of Distrust!

## Gatewalkers (Alpha)
It's ALPHA but let me just say one thing, It sure doesn't play like an ALPHA!
I jumped in the game first thing when the demo came live. I played for 9 hours straight in stream on twitch.tv and you can go check it out. No shameful plug at all. It's there, go watch it. Anyway, if you want a top down RPG with some amazing mechanics and great elements of game that take you back to some old school classics with modern graphic engine and some amazing snub references to things that seem very familiar this is one for sure to check out.

Pros.
If you are looking for a dungeon crawler type game i highly recommend. This is an actual great game! Great Graphics, awesome gameplay/controls, and even this being in alpha even i personally have not had any bugs or glitches with it. It is similar to diablo with the combat and dungeon crawler game play but with a super cool twist; (if you have ever played albion online) it also shares similar traits to albion with the open world type maps but are not nearly as big and they are procedurally generated so you get something a little different if you go back to the same map. There is also mats for crafting tons of different types of weapons and armor for the build that your running (similar to albion on the weapons; so your skills you use are dependent upon what weapon your using). In that same statement it IS NOT nearly as grindy as albion was with farming mats and not to mention the constant annoyance of other people farming the same mats as you and waiting for them to respawn since it is a singleplayer/co op game. The UI is pretty nice and simple not super complex or fancy. The skill tree is a shtting of the pants moment at first sight so it takes a second but it is easy to understand. There is herbs, berries, etc types of ingredients that you use in crafting various foods and drinks which can give you buffs like, increased healing, damage, damage reduction, stamina regen etc. There is hidden chests and challenges that you can do in the maps which gives you more rare materials. And there is even effects from the world on your character on certain maps like them being filled with gas in areas to even being night time which affects you in different ways.

## Gatewalkers
Gatewalkers is a cooperative action RPG game with survival elements, where players travel across different worlds in order to save their own. Explore procedurally generated worlds, face hostile inhabitants, face challenges like extreme weather conditions, toxic atmosphere, lack of water and more.
#### Key features:
#### TEAM CO-OP
As a Gatewalker, one of the chosen few, you can go through the Gate and explore the worlds that lay on the other side. Team up with up to 3 other players in this team-based survival. Fight terrifying monsters, survive extreme weather conditions, follow the orders given by the Guild, and most importantly, stay alive!
#### WORLD EXPLORATION
Explore the procedurally generated worlds with unique terrain features, plants, and creatures. Discover new resources and crafting materials. Face various environmental hazards: toxic or unbreathable atmosphere, terrifying darkness, penetrating cold, and much more. Each world type introduces a unique survival mechanic that forces you to adapt. Finding food, water or wood to start a fire may be impossible. Consider carefully what to bring with you on the expedition, as no one really knows what awaits on the other side of the Gate.
#### TEAM SURVIVAL
Surviving alone in an unknown world is really hard. But with teammates at your side, you at least stand a chance. Share the responsibilities: start a fire to let others warm up, build a tent to let your mates rest, warn them about the dangers lurking in the night. The key to surviving is cooperation between you and your team.
#### SKILL BASED COMBAT
Isometric skill-based combat without auto targeting. Your skills may miss, and you can dodge enemy attacks! Good positioning during combat, balanced use of skills, proper timing and team synergy are all crucial to victory.
#### CRAFTING
Choose an item to craft. Discover the appropriate recipe. Raid different worlds to gather required resources. Find or create a crafting station. Finally, build the item and use it!
#### YOU ARE WHAT YOU WEAR
There are no predefined character classes. Each item gives you a unique set of skills, so try tinkering with different builds. Take heavy armor and a healing staff to support your mates in the front line by tanking and restoring health. Remember, you are, what you wear!
#### PROCEDURALLY GENERATED WORLDS
Each time you pass the Gate you will land in a different, procedurally generated world. This gives you countless opportunities, offers constant challenges, and forces you to adapt in order to win in changing conditions! Always stay cautious, modify your strategy, make fast decisions and face their consequences, because you never know what waits around the corner.

## Reach the Summit
Cool unpretentious 2D platformer made in the style of games of the 90s with elements of adventure.
I liked the construction of the levels here, as well as the way they are well drawn

Folks, be sure to pack a will made of iron. Reach the Summit is a title that falls into the category of pixel perfect platformers. You will die in this game. Boy is this game ruthless. The developers really weren't playing when they crafted this beautiful torture machine. For any of you who seem to have gaming oriented masochistic tendencies, like myself, you'll have fun.

## Survive the Fall
A global cataclysm has brought an end to civilization as we know it.
Finally, after many years of darkness, sudden climate changes, numerous fires, extreme temperature fluctuations, an eternal has come over the planet and the conditions allowed you to try to explore the post-apocalyptic Earth.
As one of the survivors, you will have to survive in this hostile world, find other allies and with their help build a new settlement - for only as a close-knit community will you be able to survive these harsh, new times.
Not everyone will be friendly… the fight for the resources left over from the remnants of civilization can be brutal...
SURVIVE
Gather precious resources so you don’t die of hunger or cold.
Light fires, craft weapons and items, hunt and don’t get killed.
EXPLORE
Explore an open world full of dangers, secrets, and valuable artifacts. Admire the views and the wildlife that dominates the land. Be careful in the forests... it’s easy to get lost.
The asteroid left behind more than a big hole in the Earth... Beware!
BUILD AND MANAGE A SETTLEMENT
Create a new settlement that will grow and the resources it produces will help you in your missions.
Remember, only a good commander who wisely uses limited resources will be able to win the respect of others.
ASSEMBLE A TEAM
Assemble a team that will help you survive and support you in battle. Decide whether you want to go on missions with support, or if you prefer to leave your companions to guard and take care of the base. Take care of their health and condition.
AVOID DANGERS
Sneak around and, if necessary, face opponents in open combat. Remember, however, that ammunition is severely limited, medicine is scarce, and every companion is worth his or her weight in gold. Is it worth the risk?
Main Features:
- a world full of secrets
- a survivalist approach to gameplay
- team and resource management
- construction and development of the settlement

## Wild Terra Online
First off I would just like to say that I LOVE THIS GAME!!! Sure its a bit rough around the edges right now, but the possibilities are endless! This is not a game for everyone, and I will warn you that if you are not into survival games, REALISM, etc., then you need to keep walking right on by. This is not a game for those seeking an easy way to "Master" a game, quick payoffs or pay to win, but rather for those that like to work hard and feel a real sense of accomplishment when all the hard work pays off.

Here is my comment and hope it will serve as a good reference to any players who intented to buy this game.
Some of the good review for this game have been quite old and no reflecting the current game model.
Over the past few month this game have gone from good to worst and the reason are as follow
Siege- the new siege mechanism now can only be done in a fixed interval. Player have no rights to choose the siege time. So the timing maybe at you work hours or sleeping hours depending on your timezone. Recently dev "improve" the siege making it now easy to siege and harder to build. Depending where you live you will lost your effort when you come back from work or sleep,

## ATOM RPG Trudograd
Edit #2
After completing what i believe to be most of the new content and testing the balance changes that came with the latest update, I can gladly say this game is in a pretty good place now. I'll address the problems I had in the previous patch below and how they were fixed below.
Fist off as always is combat. Enemies now more consistently take damage, so long as you are fully invested in what ever type you choose. There's really not a lot of room for using multiple forms of combat, if you're gonna go for automatics or rifles, you have to go in. You're not gonna have enough points left over for other weapon skills to still have enough points for other skills unless you're importing a character from the first game that's some ungodly high level. One final thing to note about combat is that melee enemies still seem to do crazy amounts of damage. This wouldn't be too much of an issue if they didn't stun and crit you as often as they do. I swear i must have been crit more times in one hour of this game that the entire campaign of the previous one. Not that it's too much of an issue, I found that as long as you have enough AP you can run away and shoot every other turn. Just make sure you avoid anyone with armor and a knuckleduster.

Quick and dirty review
Pros:
-Updated interface
-Perk system
-Weapon mods
-No need to buy the first game if you want to experience the atom world
-The world is still a fucked up hellscape with random and various strokes of gray as most choices just like the first don't have a good ending just people surviving
cons:
-its not fully released yet AND I NEED MY GOOD RPG GAME FIX NOW!
Full review of what i so far think of the game:
So far i'm once again enjoying the atom world this definitely an expansion and for the full experience you should play the first game so you can import your character over and gain a better understanding of both the world and whats going on in this story, but you don't have to as this can be played alone and with out context from the previous story if you just want a taste before possibly deciding to buy the previous game. While this isn't as harsh as the previous game you can up the difficulty if needed as people that import there character may find this to be a bit too easy or too hard depending on your builds as you wont be able to fill in gaps using companions right away so for more for those importing characters you may want to even start a new one from scratch, but that's just my own view you should always give a chance to your current build and see how it turns out. As for the overall story and not revealing spoilers you are thrown into searching for a solution to a very large and imminent threat the world still retains its bleak outset with many citizens within Trudograd suffering within the great city and some having grown soft inside its walls making certain decisions and quests just like the previous game not having the desired effect you want or a happy ending if there even is one. I would simply say this is the Atom team giving us a wonderful expansion and if you cant wait and need a taste give it a try or wait for the full release and get the full product as if you don't want to wait for updates.

## Final Foe
Final Foe is an isometric fantasy arena that challenges you to slay waves of monsters in a mysterious dungeon. Single player and co-op modes. Modifiers and boss rounds. Survive and fight to the end, until the last enemy is killed!
#### **Main Features**
* _Atmospheric medieval location._
The old cursed dungeon with several gates awaits you, from which numerous enemies arrive. You can also find dangerous traps that will come in handy to eliminate enemies
* _Non-target combat system._
This system works for both players and enemies. This means that any enemy attack can be dodged.
* _Campaign mode._
You need to destroy enemies round after round, including a short tutorial and several boss battles. As you progress, the difficulty increases. And at the end you will find the most powerful enemy - the final boss.
* _Survival mode._
This mode is one endless battle, during which more and more strong enemies appear. The goal is to score as many points as possible for killing enemies. Especially sophisticated players can choose the Ultra-difficulty level. This will allow you to get 3 times more points, but will require dodging any damage, since the character will only have 1 health point.
* _Various enemies._
Endless living dead, terrible knights, insidious magicians and many others, about whom you can find out when you meet. Different enemies have different characteristics. Some are weak and slow, some attack from a distance, and some can get so angry that it will be impossible to stop them…
* _Bosses._
As you progress through the Campaign mode, you will encounter several bosses. Fighting some of them will require special skill from you.
* _Skill tree._
The development of your character will take place by learning skills in the skill tree. At the moment, there are 3 intermediate and 4 advanced character classes available. Each of the advanced classes has unique active and passive abilities.
* _Cooperative multiplayer._
It is much more fun to destroy crowds of enemies together with your friends. This feature allows you to play in a team of up to 4 people.

## Magic Adventures
benar
*– [Real player with 54.4 hrs in game](http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199080811094)*
Magic Adventures is a endless survival clicker game when you fight endless horde of enemy, and get stronger at each run.
Graphics (5.5 / 10) : This part is ok, the graphics are nice, but there only one place (the plain)
Gameplay (4.5 / 10) : Quite simple, but easy, just click to damage the foes, but no special attack or skills …
There different types of enemy, each have it own pattern.
You win gold for upgrade yourself and get stronger (HP, Damage, HP Regen)
The big problem with the game is that you start at lvl 1 at each new run, there no warp system for starting further when you start you become really stronger.

## Siege Survival: Gloria Victis
I first heard of this game during the Steam Game Festival back in February and I spent maybe 2 dozen hours trying out the demo before getting the full game.
Siege Survival is heavily inspired from This War of Mine, and incorporates many of the same looting and resource management aspects, such as base-building, scavenging the city at night, trying to keep your people alive until the end of a war, and more.
**I think Siege Survival handles some aspects very well, even better than TWoM, such as:**
*– [Real player with 100.4 hrs in game](http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198072072686)*
I really tried to like this game, I did, really. I think the hours speak how much I tried. I gave up a few times on the hardcore mode because while I didn't mind a challenge, I didn't feel like doing the siege again, but harder.
I understand, and it wasn't a bad idea to try to mix This War of Mine and Medieval siege. But the problem is, well, you kind of lost the point of T.W.M. when you tried this. That war is shit, and stupid, especially as a civilian that has no horse in the race. When you're the **focus** of the siege, forced to pick a side, and it's so binary who's right/wrong, the message is lost. It's a typical story of "us vs. bad men" and **that's** where you dropped the ball. The events are binary right/wrong as well, pick the obviously right/morally good choices and your rewards are a mood boost plus a benefit. Versus a mood debuff plus a benefit. Closest to "conflicted" I get to a decision is the rat event where you either go for the food that can make ~12 meals and get lightly scratched or don't. You never talk to an Ismir raider to ask them why they're raiding us, what they hope to get out of it, and what they say to justify it all. You meet one, but he's too wounded to talk philosophy or reason which admittingly did amuse me when I thought of trying so with a notebook and pencil in my hands.
