Miner Meltdown

Miner Meltdown

I throughly enjoyed playing this game with my friends. It’s a qwearky game that gives you and your friends tons of laughs. This is a great game to play while waiting for all your friends to play a AAA game. Tje creator of the game is always adding new skins to the miners which is really neat and it’s also around holiday events. All of the weapons and items are quite fun to play with, I really enjoyed using the shotgun for up close and personal and the rocket launcher to clear out those pesky miners from a distance. The main map is quite huge which allows you to roam a bit and build up some precious gold to get those awesome weapons and items without the other team right on top of you. Oh, speaking of the map, the background images are very cool to see and the music gives you that 8-bit feel. As a fun for a laugh or to get you blood pumping, I recomend everyone to get this game and play with your friends especially for the low low price.

Ever since the alpha testing party back in June 2016 it’s been thrilling seeing the progress in development on this game. Back then this game was very early into it’s development and was a long way from what you see today in the game. One thing that hasn’t changed is the competitive feel to the game. Something about swinging around from a rope with various weapons at your disposal brings thrill do a 2d platformer and Miner Meltdown is no exception. With the pricepoint of this game you simply can’t go wrong.

Gun Bombers

Gun Bombers

I am addicted to this game. 59 hours in, and I still want more. I got 3, so I could play with my kids, and they destroyed me. So I decided to practice in single player mode, and I am having more fun trying to beat my high scores than I was playing multiplayer. The addicting parts are 1) finding gems or gold, and 2) trying different strategies to last longer.

Admittedly the graphics are not very good, but the gameplay is fantastic and devilishly hard.

Real player with 168.0 hrs in game

This is a fantastic throwback to the original Mine Bombers. Got a copy for myself, my brother and one of my freinds, convinced a few more to get it and had an awesome time playing. I don’t generally write reviews but this game deserves it. I highly anticipate what features come out for it in the future as it is early access.

This gets a huge reccomend from me, get it, grow the community I want to blow of more people.

downsides

You will have to forward ports 55555 in order to host.

it does not get along with certain antivirus programs for some dumb reason.

LandRocker

LandRocker

WHAT IS LANDROCKER?

LandRocker is a play-to-earn online multiplayer game where players can engage in fierce PvP battles, nail-biting vehicle races and most exciting of all mining!

Earn exploration tickets which can be used to launch expeditions to generated planets where vast fortunes of tokens are hidden using zero-knowledge calculations.

Feel like playing it safe? You can sell those tickets alongside a number of other in-game assets directly to other players on the marketplace.

STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN

Pick your faction, Rockeneer or Lantender, and battle for control of Mars Marvel City. Strategize with your squad to take over the seven different sections of the city, each with its own vital role and function. Capturing specific areas will directly impact the rest of the round, so keep this in mind when deciding which areas to capture first. The team which controls four sections at once wins the round.

LAST STAND

Overcome your opponents to be the last rover standing and earn a ticket to mine in Exploration Mode.

SPEED AWAY

Enjoy the thrill of high-speed rover racing on a variety of exciting tracks. Show off your driving skills and edge out the competition. Need a boost? You can upgrade and customize your rover to increase your odds of winning!

TRUST AND TRANSPARENCY

The technology we use undeniably offers new exciting opportunities for gaming. Using this technology we are able to produce and distribute valuable assets throughout the world of LandRocker. This presented a challenge for development however – how do we do it without players being able to predict and abuse the distribution system?

The solution – we developed our own Distribution Method which we call “Proof of Location” which uses special calculations to generate and hide the coins without leaving any trace.

This puts all LandRocker players on an even playing field with the same odds of getting lucky while mining. No one, not even us, have the knowledge to predict the coin positions.

Hunt for hidden treasure

Use tickets you earn from playing LandRocker to launch expeditions to beautifully generated worlds rich with hidden valuables. The distribution of the coins in Exploration Mode is done algorithmically meaning their locations are truly unknown, even to the developers themselves.

Play and win games in various game modes to earn Exploration tickets.

Customize your XCAVATOR to mine more efficiently and make the most of the Exploration tickets you earn.

Super Motherload

Super Motherload

Great game!

I feel its even better than the original however, like almost anything, there are downsides.

The multiplayer is local co-op, no option. Thats not too bad, plenty of games function fine local like Magicka and Gauntlet. I feel Super Motherload behaves the same in that aspect, especially with controllers (Plays best with gamepad, Comrade!). The game also seems to lack in content to me but thats remedied by the high replay value. Honestly, thats the only real downside I see and I feel they can easily make it online multiplayer and may even be planning on it.

Real player with 46.0 hrs in game

This game is truly addicting.

A game that is truly addicting is a rarity. Smotherload uses textbook skinner box incremental numbers to keep you playing, but it does it so well and so flawlessly that you barely notice. For once, making those numbers go up is truly fun. It’s FUN.

Too bad it only has a lifespan of about 2 hours, and very little replay value.

Motherload is a pseudo-rogue-like game where you dig down down down and collect ores ores ores in a randomized crust of minerals on Mars. Sell the ores, upgrade your miner, mine more ores, sell more ores, upgrade more parts untill youre strong enough to dig to the core and uncover a conspiracy. It’s great, incremental gameplay with a solid ending.

Delve Deeper

Delve Deeper

Delve Deeper is a game which on the surface seems cute and innocent. However, below the exterior is a game which is deceptively difficult and unendingly fun.

Is the ultimate goal is to make more money for your king than the other team. You will need to excavate tunnels in order to get at the wealth which is hidden from view. Where will you dig your tunnels, and what strategy will you use when placing them in order to find the greatest amount of wealth?

There are all manner of nasty things down there which are just waiting to be released so that they can attack your Miners. Usually they guard large amounts of wealth or the entryways two areas which you need in order to be able to, of course, delve deeper which is where the best of the loot is to be found. The questions here are, do you risk the attack, and if you do, how many of your Miners will you commit to the battle? Your Miners can’t be killed, but they can get beat up so badly that they will miss the next turn. That can end up in the cycle where your miner is being killed every turn and therefore cannot mine or escape on tell a group of his compatriots com to his rescue and defeat the monster. In this instance your Miners are spending their time rescuing, and not mining, whilst your competitor is merrily running up the score in his favour.

Real player with 243.8 hrs in game

Delve Deeper is a game where you are a team of dwarves and square off against another team of dwarven diggers racing for loot for glory with the dwarf king.

A couple other reviewers have called it a “Board game” and that’s a good way to look at it. It’s not Monopoly, or Ticket to Ride, but it is a board game in many ways. The problem is… it’s not a very good one.

Much of the game is the dwarves running to different veins to dig up gold and gems. Then run those gems back to the start point to “Score” them. There’s monsters that attack, and there’s three types of Dwarves, a fighter With good inventory, great attack, and slow speed, a Miner with great inventory, good speed, and average fighting, and a Scout with great speed, weak fighting, and weak inventory.

Boppio

Boppio

Boppio is a factory building game that takes inspiration from other games in this genre but does have its own unique flair. The pipe/tube system with its automatic routing feature makes it easy for even beginners of the genre to hop in and start building. As expected for an early access game, there is not a lot of end game content yet, but given the content that already exists it is a steal of a deal and well worth the purchase. I also believe the developer has already planned out and is working towards the next major content patch which is an even bigger bonus.

Real player with 28.4 hrs in game

The solo dev (John) behind this game couldn’t care more about this game and his community. He streams development on twitch 5+ days per week and is constantly engaging with the players and responding to all types of feedback.

Gameplay is obviously inspired by factorio, but the replacement of belts with tubes, creates a significant enough gameplay change to really alter the way you think and play and has lots of room to be expanded upon.

As of launch, the game is currently light on content, that said, having been following and playing through this game for the 6 months prior to steam release I can attest to that the rate of development and know a lot gameplay, content and bugfixes will continue to flow over the course of Early Access.

Hydroneer

Hydroneer

This game has given me many hours of enjoyment. I have followed the development closely and had a ball with all the updates. The creative update has given me many more hours of playtime.

Real player with 1027.2 hrs in game

Hydroneer is one of those games which, on the surface, should actually be fun, and easy to play. However the problem is, that while sure, it CAN be fun in spurts… it’s more frustrating than anything. What’s more, it’s as if the developer simply doesn’t either have a clue how to fix the issues that players have… or has become so invested with his own goal for the end game that he simply ignores the issues.

The number one issue this game has, is tied to its physics calculations. Which, if you know anything about the game itself, or what it claims to be, is a MAJOR problem. A problem which isn’t really being addressed. The developer regularly posts streams about how he’s making entirely new sections of the game… and yet never touches on the problems with physics.
