The Serpent Rogue
The Serpent Rogue is an action-adventure game built around exploring a medieval fantasy world, mastering the art of alchemy, and taming wild creatures.
You play as the Warden, a mysterious alchemist, who needs to put their skills to protect this realm from the encroaching Corruption. Craft, brew, boil & concoct and protect the realm from The Serpent Rogue!
EXPEDITION THROUGH THE UNKNOWN
The Serpent Rogue has laid down roots on Mount Morbus, wherefrom its seething Corruption spreads and threatens to overwhelm the realm. It is your task as the Warden to confront it and restore balance to the natural order of things. Explore every corner of the map, unearth secret passages and gain knowledge to stand against the incoming disaster.
CRAFT POTIONS & EXPERIMENT
The game is heavily focused on crafting and experimenting with multiple types of potions and receipts. Use alchemy skills to transform or create situations to your own advantage.
Set up your mixing table and help the denizens of this cursed land; take their quests and earn resources to further your exploits.
CHOOSE YOUR ACTIONS
All your actions can create interesting sequences of cause and effect. Gather too many pets in one place and this will attract blood-thirsty Reapers that feed on alive. Forget to bury the perished ones and your location starts to attract corpse-eating ghouls, which attack everything on their way. Gather too many items in one location and be ready to deal with plague-spreading vermin.
EVOLVE
You can transform yourself or anyone else into… well, anyone! Brew potions that change certain aspects of creatures you meet on the way. Alter your body, so that poison will heal you, or use special abilities to other species.
Wreak havoc or create a flawless mechanism from a chicken farm that produces shovels…
It’s all up to you!

Soul Reaper
Soul Reaper quickly hooks player attention with an effectively deployed progression system, and does a fine job in offering multiple avenues to keep engagement levels high. While enjoyable for the most part, its grindy nature can render it tiresome, and the current lack of proper side quests beyond feats leaves something to be desired. Still, it’s a good debut, and a fresh ambassador for the RPG genre that leaves a lasting impression by defying convention.

Really nice, and fast paced; monster-catching strategy RPG. The game has aspects of idle-game style gameplay, however the strategy comes from squad optimisation, gear socketing, and order placement (there are ‘row bonuses’ available, but those’re kinda beyond me at the current time of writing, lol).
I made a fairly in-depth, but still very early, impressions video; available here:

Really looking forward to discovering more monsters, and more strategic optimisation in the hours and days to follow.

Lamp Head
The protagonist of this game is a strange man with a lamp instead of a head.
The game will appeal to people who have only a couple of working keys left on their keyboard, because in LAMP HEAD the gameplay is tied to the endless character running through scary and dark tunnels on which all sorts of obstacles appear, which must be feared in order to run as much as possible.

To quote Curtis Armstrong, “Go that way really fast, if something gets in your way turn.”
Simplistic endless runner game in which you can unlock and upgrade stuff. At this point I’d imagine there are far better examples of this genre out there as it’s presentation is pretty weak.
I’m hopeless at it, I also didn’t like it. i wonder if those two things are related ?

Monster Sanctuary
This game is totally worth it.
If you enjoy the monster-taming formula from games like Pokemon (and others), but wanted it to be a little more “meaty” in terms of strategy, then look no further!
Why this game is great:
- 3 v 3 battles. This makes it so team dynamics are important. Instead of each individual monster needing to be a powerhouse of some sort, you can have monsters focusing on a variety of roles, damage / tanking / buffing / debuffing / etc. Playing around with team compositions is really fun.

I would not recommend playing this game with a guide until you’ve finish the majority of the story - I feel that the exploration is part of what makes this a great experience.
I don’t write reviews very often, but I felt that this game deserves some merit that makes it stand out amongst it’s competition.
Initially I thought Monster Sanctuary lacked depth, as the first biome and battles felt slow and didn’t have much to choose from - I think it took about 2 hours to get to a place where I could appreciate the level of quality that this game presents.
