Adventure Minesweeper
Mixed recommendation. It’s casual minesweeper-style game, with several, fixable issues.
Imagine Minesweeper, except instead of mouse, you walk on the map and turn tiles. Turning a mine will result in a health-loss. Also, there are stones (impreachable points) and food (healing). Find all non-mine spots and you find the exit.
That’s Adventure Minesweeper as a concept and in a nutshell.
Does it work?
Idea is actually alright. It introduces some deviations from the regular Minesweeper tactics.

The Classics Re-Imagined!
I don’t know if there are many people who don’t know or at least never heard of the titles “Arkanoid” or “Breakout”.These 2 games were big hits around 80’s and defined a whole era.But how would be a game that would take this classic formula and expand it to today’s standards,managing though to stay honest and respectful to these 2 classics?Please welcome Strikey Sisters!

DYA works their magic again, with their third game, Strikey Sisters. Continuing to experiment with genre fusion, this one’s half brick-breaker(Breakout, Arkanoid) and half action rpg(Link to the Past, Gaia trilogy)…and the results are fantastic! It feels like it could’ve been released as early as the Turbo CD, and as late as the Sony Playstation.
Graphically, this game feels like an authentic Super NES game. Great color palette, wonderful sprite art, and all the character designs are adorable. The only downside is that the screen can be a bit too busy. Sometimes the ball and your character can get lost in the action.

Dungeon Limbus
Rogue-lite port from Nintendo Switch, that gets better the longer you play it.
My only complaint is you cannot return to a previous floor from your saved game.

This was a hard one to rate. Some of the fundamentals are really good here. Enemies have different ways of moving and reacting to the player, which is nice. Gear drops seem decent enough. Graphics are pleasing and music and sound effects are passable.
Yet…if there’s magic, I had yet to find it after getting to the dessert section. Perhaps it unlocks, as every time you get to town you pull a few cards that let you do things like cook or upgrade if you have the gold. Maybe you unlock magic later? Regardless, there do not appear to be classes, and combat does not vary on repeated deaths.

The Spiral Labyrinth
This is a pretty good Mystery Dungeon game. If you liked Shiren and want more, this is it. A warning though: it’s a difficult game with a 99 floors long dungeon and no pre-identified items other than swords/shields.
– Real player with 1.9 hrs in game
It’s definitely good for a new game, but I don’t think it’s worth buying if you’re looking for the hours of fun, learning and experimenting that most older roguelikes have. But if you like playing games while they’re still being actively updated, definitely try this one out.
- Controls are simple, but that’s partly due to having no classes or customization, so the starting parts are boring, consisting only of trying out unidentified items and spamming melee attack in corridors. I thought that was because alternative options pop up really quickly, but every wand and book I found did absolutely nothing in combat (plus they weren’t identified on use), and I could not find a ranged weapon either. Only a flail to increase my melee damage. Admittedly I have a soft spot for games that let me start out as a magic user.. And customize my appearance..

D100 Dungeon Computer Companion
Hello! And thank you for checking out this review. Before we get to the main body of the review for the D100 Dungeon Computer Companion I feel I should make a few things known:
I play a good bit of D100 Dungeon in pencil and paper form.
I make overview, review, and tip videos covering D100 Dungeon on YouTube.
I purchased this product with the intent of spending a good bit of time with it and writing a review.
I value my time and money.
All that being said, lets begin:
The D100 Dungeon Computer Companion is a program that essentially automates and tracks the D100 Dungeon Solo Adventure Game experience to include fully managing the player’s Adventure sheets, Map, Combat Encounters and all dice and Table rolls. The program also guides a player step by step through each phase of a turn. With a D100 Dungeon Solo Adventure Game core rule book for reference and the D100 Dungeon Computer Companion app, a player is able to run a digital D100 Dungeon experience.

Although I’ve seen several negative comments, so far this has worked really well for me. I usually have the pdf open of the game so I can look up monsters or treasure or whatever is needed. I like that you can move windows around and drag/drop them. It really takes the load off the bookkeeping which I think is awesome. Given I have every hardback book for D100 Dungeon, I hope they continue development to add in the adventure companion and other supplements later. Well done!

Evertried
I’m not actually the biggest fan of Roguelike games, but Evertried convinced me not only by being very pretty, but also really giving this “Just one more try!” feeling a new meaning!
Also the game has relatively little RNG, so 90% of the deaths happening actually are the player’s fault. Something I hate and love at the same time! Being able to either try to go as fast as you can or take your time and think your moves through is a great thing, allowing everyone to learn in their own speed. And the feeling of killing an enemy or clearing a floor that previously gave me troubles for the first time is amazing!

UPDATE : 3 times in a row my “hard mode” run ends after 40 min on some kind of “NullPointerException”. The game is just not tested enough, wait a few months until the game is tested and all bugs are fixed : https://steamcommunity.com/app/1607040/discussions/0/3158706376169597835/
If you like “Into The Breach (ITB)” (best strategy game in 2018), you will like Evertried for sure. Most ITB mechanics are here with a light touch of Roguelite. The additional mechanics are not really useful (at least in normal mode), but they don’t prevent you to play, so it’s all good.

“The last thing you hear before being exploded by an angry monkey? Ba-BOOM”
Some of you have never played Concept Software’s Alien which was released for the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, and Amstrad CPC in 1984. For the most part, I suspect most of you have not played Concept Software’s Alien directly because it was released for the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, and Amstrad CPC in 1984. But! Despite its near 40-year lifespan and the now-archaic hardware it calls home, I might offer the argument that you’ve been missing out. In fact, screw it, I will! It’s frankly amazing what that game manages to do with so little, and how hard it works on being an authentic companion piece to the seminal film it shares its name with.

Apparently this is a remake from a really old C64/spectrum game, and they made a great job on the graphics and music.
Nothing is explained but once you get the gist of it, it’s about moving from room to room and switching characters to do actions and guess where the alien is, pretty cerebral, slow and frankly archaic. This was acceptable in the very early 80s, on the first 8 bit computers, but difficult to recomend today unless you’re really hardcore nostalgic.

Whiskers & Tail
Fun Little game, but I wish they would have put more time into the sound design. I had to turn off the music after a little bit and the button press sounds were a little jarring but overall I enjoyed it. I like the story that ties all the levels together so it’s not just a series of puzzles. I would recommend.

Shiren the Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate
Intro: I want to preface this by saying that I don’t think Shiren is a fair game, or that this is an amazing port of Shiren.
However as a roguelike enthusiast I personally enjoy this game a lot. And I think that this is fairly competent port. It has borderless windowed mode with the ability to resize to whatever you want or need and has multiple control options (no rebinding outside of using Steam’s controller configurator though). There’s also some hidden controls so you might want to just press keys to see what they do, for example the game doesn’t tell you that the C key can be used for quick scouting a room without needing to go through the menu.

Shiren is not a roguelike, it’s a grinding game
I had heard good things about the serie of games “Shiren the Wanderer” in the past, and I’ve always been a fan of roguelikes, so when this newest instalment was ported on Steam, I thought it would be a good idea to try it out, and get my first taste of this “roguelike serie”.
Unfortunately, it soon became clear that the game is not at all what it says on the box.
Shiren is not a roguelike
A run of Shiren makes you starts at level 1 and you’re tasked with climbing up a randomly generated dungeon (the titular Tower of Fortune). It is played turn-by-turn, so you’re supposed to think before you act, in order to escape the various traps and monsters that you’re gonna meet, using your wits and your inventory. If you’re not good enough, you will die, be ejected from the tower, and lose everything, thus being forced to start again from the very beginning. This description, at first, would indeed seems to fit the mold of a roguelike, so very much something I would enjoy playing.
