Griefhelm
“Await eagerly your end at my hand”
Overview
🔹Griefhelm takes its cue from some renowned niches in gaming like Nidhogg, Mordhau, For Honor, and the Souls-likes. It emphasizes on a methodical action as there’s a fine line between death and glory in this game. You are in the boots of a medieval knight who fights his way through a branching campaign You traverse from node to node through a set of stages, each challenging you with a leader battle at the end before progressing to the next location. Despite its flaws, The game is an amazing effort for a project made by a single person.

Griefhelm is a fun little action game in a pseudo-medieval setting, which I discovered recently and fell in love with. It offers lots of cosutmization and weapons, a singleplayer campaign, singleplayer and multiplayer costum fights called “encounters” which you can design the way you want by chosing your equipment, the enemy’s equipment, different rule sets, the stage/level/map and the exact gamemode: skirmish=duel, battle=capture waypoints, tug-of-war=push the enemy back by killing him and running towards the end of the stage/level and more!

Memory Battle
Classic and Casual memory game, never get old, it’s fun and improves your memory! Has a nice 2d art. They created a “battle mode” that should be the twist… But tbh, i don’t feel like it have any “real twists”, almost same as classic mode but can take longer, and the board gets a bit easier since it gets divided between shield/sword cards, so you know what you’re looking for more easily.
So far you can play 1v1’s on local and it has remote play steam support, which is awesome, but a direct multiplayer and increased player cap (for classic) would be welcome. Also you can fight AI in three difficult settings (ez,normal,hard).

You’ve played memory before, right? Find the cards that match… Use the pairs as attack and defence in a fight. DLC for different cards. Can be solo, but it’s really better played 2player VS

Blind Battle Championship
Blind Battle Championship is a strategy turn-based tabletop fighting game, where the characters are blindfolded, so you will need to use your skills and intuition in order to defeat your enemies.
At the start of every round, players have a limited time to choose up to 15 movements. When the time ends, all characters put on a blindfold and execute those movements at the same time. There are 7 different classes of characters and every one of them has unique skills with differents effects and costs. So, in every round, players must predict the position and movements of the opponents based on their skills and the environment in order to attack them. You only have one life, so if you get hit, you get eliminated. The last one standing will get the victory.
You can play solo battles for up to 8 fighters, or in local multiplayer for up to 4 players. Choose between any of the 7 playable characters, every one of them with unique habilities that will be useful in every one of the 8 stages available:
-
The Warrior, a soldier of the King’s Guard, with sword, shield and bow, what makes her a very versatile fighter.
-
The Barserker, a strong mercenary who carries a heavy axe with which performs devastating shield-breaker attacks.
-
The Archer, an outlaw who shoots arrows at a great speed and can move in a very agile way.
-
The Spearman, a fighter with a long spear and a big shield that protects him at the front.
-
The Pyromancer, a crazy pyromaniac who uses bombs and a barrel of gunpowder to burn everything in her path, even herself.
-
The Trapper, a small rogue who fills the floor with traps and stuns his enemies with a smoke bomb.
-
The Knight, a frightening soldier on horse, who can keep fighting even after his horse has been knocked-down.
This 2020 enjoy with your friends the new game from Companni Games. You will never see anything like this!

KnightOut
Best early access game to invite others over to play after COVID 19 pandemic!
I haven’t been able to find a game online; however, Discord server is active and devs can help find players to play via steam. You can also PM if you’d like to play.
If you have kids and know what you are doing, you can go 2 v 1… 3 v 1 is a bit tricky. Devs are active on their discord and have stated to change respawn times later.
Bugs at the moment are not that bad, but yes, it’s early access.
In any case, it’s great for a KnightOut with friends or your kids locally. Just wear masks, wash your hands and game controllers.

The game has friendly fire in co-op. Which makes the experience a joke. The coins disappear extremely fast and seem to determine how many stars you get. There’s also gated progression which requires a set number of stars per map to progress. Not a very casuals experience for some local co-op.
There’s also the problem when the game zooms out the entire screen is one big BLUR.

A very good game, it has got everything you want in a game like this. It’s free, and if paying I could be able to play alone, it would be nice and a way to make me pay the people that made this game. All I can say is thank you, developers, I’d deffinetly pay to play a game like this with some more content. A coop version would be cool too. Imagine playing with your friends and killing bosses in a game like this.
Try this game, it’s free, you don’t loose anything. In my profile I haven’t played much, but I’ve played in my friend’s account and the game has 11 maps and everyone with its own different aspects. It has got some more power ups, the only problem is that you can’t change the buttons of the actions.

Strikers Edge
Overview
Strikers Edge is a great game of killer dodge ball that supports between 1 and 4 players. The short campaigns are fun and bots can provide some solo enjoyment. The game shines when there are at least two people in an adrenaline fuelled duel to the death. Each campaign provides the back story of each character and their motivations for fighting. The pixel art is beautiful and backgrounds have easily recognizable, unique hazards. An interesting mechanic is that players can see each other’s aiming reticle leading to fake outs and mind games. The sound design is good and satisfying, especially explosions. The only detraction for this game is that it is multiplayer focused and it doesn’t have many people in its online community to play matches against.

Potion Party
I received this game as a birthday gitf. My friends and I have agreed not to buy multiplayer/party games as a group, since our schedules rarely allow us to actually play something together. So, I left Potion Party on my wishlist, afraid to waste money on yet another game I wouldn’t get to play with anyone. I was actually quite happy to receive it, tho, and more so when I realized I could use the remote play together to invite others to play with me. I didn’t felt like burning my PC while playing with friends, so I’d say it’s quite fun. It’s challenging, but just enough not to cause frustration or annoyance when someone makes a mistake. You can also play it alone just fine, and some strategies work better when you’re by yourself or part of a duo instead of a quartet. It’s a great game and I’m very happy with it. 3

First of all, I absolutely adore this game.
The art is cute and it’s pretty fun to play. I spent hours playing it with my friends and had a blast.
That being said, I have an issue with the multiplayer in this game. This game is only couch co-op (meaning local) or is remote play. I had to do the remote play as all my friends that wanted to play were online, which made playing the game difficult. The game was extremely laggy for my friends and it made playing the game very challenging at times. VS mode is pointless to us, because it just lags too much for it to be fun.

Dominion
Always heard about the boardgame but never had the chance to play it and now that i did I can see why it’s so popular!
The DA is very well done: plays smooth, good sfx, AI feels solid (haven’t tried Hard yet though). The game has already -I think?- all of the the expansions available that can be played in a 1v1 against AI or with another player online.
I must say this is very polished already for being EA for less than two weeks!
As per how stability goes, ​I played 3 games with a friend yesterday and we only got two freezes/crashes but we could keep playing by simply restarting the game: no game-breaking bugs found yet.

A very faithful adaptation of the famous evolutionary card game. The first one that found the concept of deckbuilding during the game. Many other games followed this inspiration, such as Star Realms, Ascension, War of Omens, for the main ones. If you know of any others, please respond.
This is a concept not to be confused with these two:
-
Deckbuilding before the game, the player builds a deck (example: Magic the Gathering).
-
Deckbuilding during the game, without being able to swap cards, during a quest (example: Slay the spire).
