Omega Labyrinth Life
Let me start off by saying that OLL owners who are giving this game a negative Steam review despite kinda liking the game = a sign of extreme ignorance. Not only because of what happened in the run-up towards this game’s initial planned release on Sony’s platform, but because THIS is the type of game which will be scrutinized the most. Hardcore violence A-ok, anime girls rubbing some unidentified objects between their soft, well-endowed bosoms in order to ID them? HIGH ALERT.
So this isn’t dev greed, but you who needs to understand that this kind of content has a price tag for good reasons and shouldn’t be judged on an equal scale as other games which do not have these unfair development difficulties to deal with. Think of it as a “BS fee” and please don’t let it stop you from buying / supporting this type of game, because not doing so = they won’t be getting English translations in the future anymore.

Very much recommended! Don’t let the ecchi premise fool you into thinking this is a shallow game. It’s actually one of the most feature-complete roguelites I’d ever played and it would in fact stand on its own just fine without the pervy aspect. It’s both challenging and demands creativity in your equipment loadout but also relaxing and with lots of little ways of making progress. It’s forgiving of mistakes but doesn’t let you relax. I’d say the game isn’t necessarily “beginner friendly” to the genre, but is definitely not beginner-punishing like most roguelites. The gardening and slice of life stuff feels good and wholesome too instead of being tacked-on.

Sorcery Saga: Curse of the Great Curry God
ONLY ON PLAYSTATION
Remember PlayStation Vita? No? Well… you’re not alone. Many people don’t. And that’s the problem. Even though SONY reclaimed their fans with PlayStation 4, which is pretty much the only console on the modern market with both decent hardware and strong video games library, Vita ended up being forgotten and obsolete. Let’s not go too deep into the commercial stuff, though. Even though it’s completely beyond me how Nintendo can sell so many Switch units while it has even less games than Vita. Anyway, the important thing is – there were some publishers, who did their very best to support Vita. And since Vita failed… it felt like all those nice titles were supposed to sink with it. Thankfully, IF-chan (Idea Factory) decided to do their very best again. This time by porting all those Vita titles to personal computers. For everybody to enjoy. Naturally, here comes another one.

Beta Tester Here,
This might look like a cute story and it is but it can be at certain points hmm…creepy?disturbing? when dealing with people whom you know have a screw loose in the head. Some themes can include stalking as comedy so if you are uncomfortable with that, you have been warned.
I think the opening starts off pretty depressing and can be relatable to many people…
You’ll soon find an urgency to roaming the dungeouns in search of spices. There are many points I found laughing and embrassing(you’ll soon see why) to read it. To say anymore would be to ruin the chances of you enjoying it but I can still say the writing of the story is the strongest point of this game. The cutscenes are done in a visual novel way.

Kagura Douchuuki
I’m a latecomer to playing this Japanese RPG, but I’m glad I finally decided to buy it. The gameplay reminds me of two DS games; both involving the same bossy ninja girl. I think her name is Nazuna. Anyways, Kagura uses similar game mechanics and tactics so it was easy for me to get into the game. This game is very fun to play on all 3 levels of play, though beginners might find the leveling up mechanics of Normal and Strong mode to be a bit frustrating at first. The story is very enjoyable with even a couple of OMG moments (those who have already played it through will know what I’m hinting at).

I’m going to give this a thumb’s up but only for the artwork and girls. It’s very cute. The gameplay is exactly Azure Dreams
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk7e7VwEaLk
Even the items, traps, and mosters are the same. The only difference are you fight yourself, no monster pet to level but they give you a blacksmith to upgade your items to make up for it.
If you’re thinking of playing it, check out a let’s play of Azur Dream to see how the gameplay works and decide from that if it’s something you’ll enjoy.

Phantom Train
I was in a hurry home from work. It was already dark and frosty - December, after all. Since I worked in one city and lived in another, I had to travel by train. In the morning - to work, in the evening - home. The journey took a little less than an hour. Today is Friday, the mood is high.
Climbing onto a deserted platform, I began to wait for the train. There was not a soul on the platform: it was on the outskirts, next to the industrial zone, and here, as a rule, there were always few people, but today it is completely empty.
Wonder Cave
Nice idea but a bit laggy/buggy. First time we opened it, we couldn’t even open a game. Second time, we heard none of Jafar’s opening dialogue. Few other times it felt laggy. Also, we accidentally closed the game after hitting Exit on accidentally hitting Menu - our fault, but the lack of “ARE YOU SURE” box wasn’t cool.
Puzzle wise - rotate everything, look everywhere. I’d have preferred more puzzles around clues.

Awesome game! I played it with my brother and indeed it was not easy!
If you like playing quests, this is definitely for you! I found it really entertaining when you’re playing with somebody rather then alone! It’s very challenging and exciting! Highly recommended!

The falling tower
This is RPG Maker games where “Autobattler” tag applies to no typical RPG Maker fights.
Instead you walk on tile with enemy and battle is decided - how much HP you lose, how much gold you gain and XP.
However English translation has a lot of typos and I only seen little of this game, because apparently I have no way of progressing.
Either paths are blocked by lack of keys or instantly killing you monsters…
Starting the game is very annoying, because it requires you to insert name every time (and you have to select letters on-screen rather just typing on keyboard… ugh…) and there are plenty of silly ways to get gameover since the start of gameplay.

Touhou Genso Wanderer -Reloaded-
Touhou Genso Wanderer -Reloaded- is, like it’s basic description says, roguelike RPG game the puts the player into various dungeons and gives them the outright scenario to overcome these dungeons and its enemies. This review will contain cover multiple parts of the game, from graphics/interface to the entire story itself and a bit of the DLCs. Spoilers will surely appear but I’ll limit them as much as I can..
I want you to cut the long review and say your general consensus!

Ran with almost no thermal stress on an i7-6500U, HD 520 graphics without ever crashing, so it should run on anything better than a potato.
Like Touhou? Like Shiren the Wanderer or mastered the Mystery Dungeon games? If so, buy this. However, if you don’t know anything about Touhou whatsoever or know how to play Mystery Dungeon games, you may want to skip this. The game does include a tutorial that covers most mechanics and has a very, very thorough bestiary, character guide, trap guide, etc., so it’s just a lot of reading to understand the gameplay and story if you’re new to it.

The Sealed Ampoule
An interesting variation on mystery dungeons.
The Sealed Ampoule is the newest game from CAVYHOUSE games and it is just as beautiful and strange as their other titles. Fans of mystery dungeons won’t find a ton of challenge here but it is a nice pared down experience, it’s pared down in that there is only the one dungeon and look of it doesn’t really change save for the ever shifting background colours, also while you do always start at the first floor your levels don’t reset and you accrue experience and stat upgrades that help each subsequent run. In another deviation from the usual mystery dungeon, there are no upgradeable weapons or clothing instead you upgrade the dungeon itself and your skillset. The characters are charming and while the story is simple it’s nice to solve a mystery.

Like the other Cavyhouse games, this is a very aesthetic, weird and experimental game. If you played Forget me Not? It’s about twice as long and grindy. Still worth playing if you’ve liked other Cavyhouse games.
If you’ve not played something by Cavyhouse before… this would be a good starting point, as it’s the first one timewise? If you’re just looking for a roguelike, and have played a bunch of those this likely won’t be super interesting to you though. it’s fairly low stakes (die = resources lost and that’s about it), but there’s also not like weapon/armor upgrades. there’s just skills and upgrading the dungeon itself. And loot is all recovery items, tools or materials. If you want a very relaxed, and less complicated roguelike though? This may actually be a perfect fit for you.
