The overall presentation is great. Its fun with a good atmosphere that is very upbeat. The sound compliments the game. The only problem with a game as polished as this it needs a variety of game modes beyond the levels. Maybe I haven’t unlocked them yet, I don’t know. I have only played half way through the game. I know i could play the same level over and over again. But may be a local/online pvp free for all or some player vs environment mode like Boss Battle etc. Some RPG elements possibly as well. I’m hoping DLCs in the future will add to what I think is already an awesome game and worth every penny as far as I’m concerned..

Muspell

This is indeed early access. Only buy if it’s half price or you want to play through a very rudimentary Minecraft clone.

In just 20-30 minutes (using a controller):

  1. Can’t invert the Y-axis view - that makes it almost impossible for me to play.

  2. You can’t tell what anything is, there are no tooltips for things in your inventory and no indication of what you’re looking at.

  3. Basically I figured out how to dig up the ground but that was the only thing I could figure out how to do other than wander around (looking up when I meant to look down :) ).

Color Breakers

Color Breakers

Color Breakers is a cute and fun co-op game that feels like a mix between Overcooked and Splatoon. The best moments are definitely when you play 4 player couch co-op and you can see the chaos of trying to coordinate and complete a level with your friends.

The different levels add a lot of variety and randomness to the game, which leads to some very funny moments. In one level you might be dodging cars in the middle of the highway while trying to complete a painting and in another level you are running away from lions that are trying to eat you.

Smith and Winston

In order to destroy most games, you have to play around with corruptions, or data mine them, or use glitches, or speedrun them. This game lets you destroy practically all of the game dev’s hard work in level design, go ahead! It’s part of the fun! You can rush through the game, or you can dig around and find all of its secrets. It rewards you for dying as little as possible but also doesn’t punish you heavily. You can come back infinitely but using a continue wipes your score. It brings back the fun of arcades in going for high scores.

So…first of all…grabbing this game at a -75% discount…seems okay to me, it’s about Rm 6 for me ( let me give you a references…it’s about the price of 2 packs of snacks….) I had noticed that…this game is made by some Indie developers, so I wanna try to be “that guy” that do what I can if I like their product

Pros:

  1. Twin stick shooter…fun? yeah, i think it’s fine

  2. Funny NPC (AI) giving comment from time to time

  3. Destrutible environments… but it caused lag for my potato…fun if you have better setup

Unrailed!

Unrailed!

TL;DR: It’s my #1 favorite co-op roguelike, so far.

Unrailed! is like a slow-grind, roguelike version of Overcooked, and is very intense, despite how calm it may appear when watching gameplay. I don’t see any review currently explaining the gameplay in wording, so here is the loop:

[olist]* Chop for wood and mine for metal, carry those resources to your train’s stock, wait for its automatic builder to build railroad tracks, and then extend your train’s track. Keep doing this until it reaches the next station, even backtracking as need be when squaring off with enemies and the environment. It has a coolant wagon which can overheat, so you also have to occasionally collect nearby water with a bucket to keep it cool (slightly comparable to Overcooked’s dirty-dishes mechanic).

200 character summary

Unrailed is an amazing multiplayer game where you have to gather resources to build a rail faster than the train moves, You can upgrade your train and its wagons as you progress to the chaning biomes.

Gamemodes & Gameplay 9/10

The game can only be played in multiplayer, There is no single player option, But you can play the game online, grab multiple controllers, but even share a keyboard. The game has a few gamemodes, There is a tutorial mode which wil explain the basics of the game, A quick gamemode in which it is the goal to reach the next station as fast as possible, And a Endless mode in which the goal is to go as far as possible, Games can take several hours in this gamemode. There is also a versus mode, Here there are 2 seperate platforms and 2 seperate trains, May the fastest team be the winner.

its a good game but theres bugs

Real player with 2.3 hrs in game

Quite enjoyable, however, I would like to ask for the ability to refund upgrade points in-game and give the player…something like a landmine to fight off the tanks when first discovered. Thanks for a good game devs, keep up the good work!

Also I found out about your game, just a little bit, from Daleyproductions on YouTube.

I Hate Running Backwards

I Hate Running Backwards

As a huge Croteam fan boy, i confess i bought this game kinda blindly, knowing it had serious sam messy action vibes, but havent a clue about the gameplay.

And what a good surprise. The gameplay is quickly understood and you’ll find yourself wanting to play once more, each time you loose the game.

About the gameplay itself, it is difficult for me to compare to it to something. The screen is moving downwards and loads of ennemies will come to you from the bottom of the screen, while obstacles, weapons and bonuses will come from top. Levels beeing generated rather randomly, each game will be different, you will not find the same weapons from game to game, and level uping your character will never go the same way, as you have to choose one from three random upgrades each time you level up. Your level beeing remived each time you loose. One run you will be tankier with special weapons upgrades, the next time you went for a quicker character with dodging abilities.

I’m a write a review for this game, trying to be completely honest. Here goes:

Graphics:

  • graphics are very good, very ‘tunable in options, but the art style is not my preffered one (blocky characters, cartoony shaders etc.. ). Effects are really nice, composed out of many smaller effects to grant big ones (which looks very nice). The only con i have is the collisions polygons (which are technical but a good eye can see them), sometimes a thing hits you or kills you without even touching you (even though you are close). Not a big issue since you have to git gud and you can avoid it all. I’d rate graphics 8/10, even though they deserve 9/10 (due to me not being a fan of the artstyle).
