Demons of Asteborg
Demons of Asteborg promised to be a “Metroidvania” kind of game and it delivers. While it still is pretty linear there’s some exploration in all stages. Also I love how you have to use your new abilities to beat each stage and bosses, giving it new mechanics on all of them. There’s a ton of variety here. This was originally a Mega Drive/Genesis game and this looks and sounds AMAZING, can say without doubt it is one of the best games ever made for the console and glad all people can play it in the og hardware and digital too.

Ok so, I really did like this game, it was really fun hacking your way through demons advancing levels, getting stronger as you go and the overall journey is great….but that ending….that ending was so abrupt, I got to the final level I didn’t even know I was at the final level, and when things just started to get really good, I was fighting the final boss, mind you again, I had no idea I was fighting the final boss…..this guy was a joke it only took me 3 tries to beat this guy, I had a much much much tougher time fighting the previous bosses, and when I finally finished him…..small dialogue and ROLL CREDITS….really? I mean really? (spoiler) you couldn’t put in a few more levels now that I achieved my demon form? come on such wasted potential….

… a shame it was abandoned…
but don’t be fooled. I consider this game still the top game in my whole steam library.
Why? you might wonder….
this game is living on vividly in the mod community.
Theres hardly a hundred players still running it regularly but its state is better than ever before.
The online community is superb. All very passionate people who invest real time and skill in this wonder of a game.
credit where credit is due: big thanks to Deepflame, Peaceman, and modders like Equinox, Xaerthus , Onca, JohnBeere and many , many others, who are taking this game to unseen levels.

(New Edit, 2/17/2019)
I hadn’t played ME for months, after the last update broke the game into unplayability and I left in disgust, after having written the review below. But I had heard about the rail and water mods and so a few weeks ago I fired it back up to check it out.
Like my initial Steam review (below), the modders have done an amazing job. The new rail mod is intuitive, fun, immersive, and solves the main issue of planet, which is it’s unruly size.
The new water mod finally added what everyone has been asking for since the games inception, and which KEEN assured us they would never provide. Water. Like, you know, the prerequisite for life itself.

Exanima
Exanima has, over the years, become one of my favorite games on Steam. I have come back to it over and over to get another hit of physics based medieval combat. The very small development team has continued to add content, improve physics, and craft their very unique vision over the years with consistency and quality. I think it’s important to mention that Exanima was intended initially as a testing ground and means of funding for another game that they plan on making. Since then the developers have focused on making Exanima its own game with the added benefit of everything they add here being applicable to the creation of their other game.

It’s funny to see people complain about the game being dead when the devs make weekly progress reports and the beta is updated regularly. And you can even talk with the lead dev in the discord! Most EA games aren’t this transparent. I’ve been following this game for years, and it’s come a long way. There’s a small but dedicated team behind it. When an update comes out of beta, it’s bug free. And for just $15, you get a game unlike any other. IDK, game good. :)

ALTF4
I’d recommend this game if you like Getting Over with Bennett Foddy.
It is not as difficult but it puts way more pressure on you as a player, just like a mox ruby underneath a herd of donkeys eating lettuce filled wraps of peanut butter.
When you beat you will glad its over, but instantly nostalgic, just like Zelda 2.
Or some may say, its like stepping on a lego, cutting your foot, on the way to get cookies from the oven, and you drop your cold glass of milk, with shards of glass everywhere, and go head first into an open oven, while realizing you burnt the cookies, only to take a bite of charred chocolate chip. You come back the next day, and play ALT-F4, that is what this game is like. =)

My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, ‘If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.’. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- ‘Don’t ever smoke. Please don’t put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 28, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because this game gave me cancer anyway.

Just Arms
Update : The dev also remade the multiplayer so it work even if someone is in na and the other in europe
This is a good getting over it like in term of control but a bit less about the map. You get used to the control fairly well, maybe between 2 to 5 hour max. Then you fall a lots in the first map. In most of the getting over it, you get some soft checkpoints. in this map, you get more or less a soft checkpoint at 66% but once you get there, its fine. so yeah, the first half of the game at least is really repetitive, but as you get better, you’ll find some skip to go a bit faster. And you’ll still get the satisfying feeling after beating the map

Monster Collector
I had a great time playing this game although there is plenty of room for improvement the monsters look great and being able to rip them apart is really satisfying however other aspects of the game still need a great deal of polish, but over all it was very fun and I can defiantly see a lot potential in future updates.

Archero
Dear archer hero, it’s time to answer the call of the world and complete the necessary challenges to become a god!
Using your skillful archery skills, different arrows and the blessings of the bow gods, you can easily destroy all kinds of enemies and complete a variety of challenges.
Don’t forget to defeat your challengers, they don’t want you to become a god!
Shoot!
Draw an arrow from your pack, then build up your strength and shoot at the enemy! The greater the force, the faster the arrow and the more damage it will do to the enemy.
A shot that hits an enemy may break their joints and slow them down. There is a chance of a blast effect or even a kill shot!
Enemy armour
Enemies do not always reveal their flesh and blood, but usually wear armour of varying strengths in different torso positions, including light, medium and heavy armour.
Usually some enemies will be able to tell at a glance which type of armour is dominant, while others will need to be tried with an arrow.
Each part of the armour has its own durability value and will protect its owner with a response damage reduction parameter until it is depleted, but some arrows can penetrate directly regardless of the armour.
Types of arrows
When facing enemies without armour, or wearing light, medium or heavy armour, the different types of arrows are more effective and are
Normal arrows - average muzzle velocity, penetrate light armour and dent medium armour, but break when encountering heavy armour
Barbed arrow - higher muzzle velocity, penetrates and deals a lot of damage to unarmored and light armour, breaks on medium and heavy armour
Flat arrow - low muzzle velocity, dents almost all armour and loses a lot of durability
Sharp Arrows - Very high muzzle velocity, can penetrate all armour types including heavy armour, but do less damage
Normal arrows are infinite and you will automatically harvest other arrows from the Bow God on a regular basis, so remember to be flexible!
Growth
You gain experience by hitting enemies. Each time you accumulate a certain amount of experience you can upgrade and choose one of three random growth paths. Feel free to choose your own direction of development!
God Wishes
Wishes will accumulate automatically over time, and each successful shot will accumulate more wishes. When they are full, they unleash powerful aspirations.
These skills last for a while and come in different types: from rapid fire and knockback to charm and disguise, each of which has its own use to help you defeat the enemy.
Divine Rites
Each time you achieve a part of your goal, you will receive a gift from the gods. You can choose from a variety of different rewards, from special passive skills, divine wishes or special arrows.
Bow
Find bows with different attributes from all over the map, or from dead enemies, and use them with a passive skill or a divine wish to achieve outstanding results.
Quests or the Bow God
Complete a series of quests for the Bow God and collect crystal shards to cement your path to godhood. As your strength increases, you can receive various levels and quests such as defence, assault, sneaking and collecting.
Special helpers
Skeletons in tombstones, locked gates, stone throwers for defence, carefully erected stone balls, rickety suspension bridges - the mechanics in each mission will be a great help to you!
Development Plan
DEMO
The Archer Hero DEMO is now available for play. Come and experience the unique dual-stick archery gameplay and tell us what you think to help us iterate!

Physics based simulation style sword fighting game taking place in 17th century Poland. Think of a cross between… Bushido Blade, Exanima, & Die by the Sword. Created by one of the main animators for Witcher 3. Really amazing to see an animator translate their ideas about animation into gameplay. I’m sure a lot of animators get frustrated by game design limitations.
This would be a really fun party game if you have a couple controllers! It’s easy to learn, very difficult to master, but it’s very fun and feels authentic through and through.
