Cute, linear game that kept me interested. Nice little combat system too.

Turn based, but not bad even for me as a person who doesn’t care for turn based. Cute, and kinda addicting, Makes you want to continue playing only issue with that is that it is very short.

Slime Dice
Roll Dice! Make Characters! Play Mini-games & Strategize Combat! Gather a team of your very own characters and defeat the monsters of Spegroon. Slime Dice is based heavily on both 2000’s era video games and board games. Combat itself also offers many decisions, both when creating your team, and while in battle. Roll dice to get special combos, or go for another strategy entirely!
Character Creation is where you’ll start the game, making your own character first. You can change the visuals, the voice, and even their default emotions! After that, you pick their stats. There are four different stats to invest into, and a large amount of abilities to select from. Mixing and matching these abilities, stats, and equipment is a big part of the game! Do this not only for this character, but up to a total of eight! Will you make a party of mages? Perhaps a pirate crew, wielding flintlocks and axes? Or, will you make a team based on characters from your favorite game/series? The choice is yours!

United Chronicles
United Chronicles is a new type of Tactical RPG which is characterized by real-time combat.
In the combat of this game , there is no concept of “Turn” and there are no “Squares” on the field.
Each unit is just controlled by “Time” and “Circle” (“Cool-down” and “Max-range”).
Enjoy this really stress-free Battle.
25 allies and 24 bosses (+ heroic mode) are waiting for you.
Arcante
Somehow reminds me of Might and Magic 6 (although others might say it more resembles M&M 9 ?)
Anyway, there were multiple games of this genre (first person, fantasy world exploring, party based RPG)
Probably a rare genre nowadays.
We all know turn-based party-wise crawlers, or top-down RPGs.
Arcante feels like a variation, that wants to keep the action (free movement) of the M&M 6, but at the same time modernize the clunky spell casting (which required the player to pause the game, even with memorized / active spell, to get the upper hand).

This game has the the old Might and Magic vibe. Could use a bit more content, more quests, characters, and story but I am enjoying some nostalgia. If you are looking for an old fashion romp through fantasy ville give it a try.
Finished it up. Took ab out 9 hours. Didn’t find a use for the bird head statue or the second city riddle, but the ending was…interesting. Still mostly enjoyed it despite some quirks. Very old fashioned might and magic approach to the genre, but it was a fun romp down memory lane. To the creator, good luck and I hope you are successful enough to try again.

Doggone Hungry
Absolute masterpiece. Insane replay value. Really excited because they just announced Doggone Hungry 2! I suggest you play through the first before the 2nd comes out. It took me three hours to finish the story as it is an extremely challenging campaign. If you get discouraged easily, or have trouble with puzzles/stealth I highly do not recommenced this game. If i had a game I could compare it to, it would be a mixture of Metal Gear Solid, and Dark Souls. Great game especially for its price.
- DDug out! Good luck to those to take this game on, it was for sure a grind for me.

Tortured Hearts - Or How I Saved The Universe. Again.
I’m not much of a review writer, so I’m not going to do an in-depth analysis, but 150+ hours in I’ve become completely addicted to this game. As advertised, it’s old school in the larger sense of its design and flow, but it has elements and specifics that are entirely unique. It is difficult at first to figure out how some things work, so you do what pretty much all old school RPG’rs did: play for a while, figure out how things work, then start a new game for real. There’s a huge demo that can serve that purpose for you. This is not one of those games with 40 hours of cut scenes and an onscreen arrow pointing you to what you need to do next, where flashy graphics (that sometimes even work) substitute for game play. You will get quests that you will not be able to solve until well into the game, and you’ll have to stop and think about where you need to go and who you need to talk to. If you want a game that holds your hand and points you to every answer, this is not for you. If you want to solve things on your own, can handle some frustration and you value the game over flash, I think this is a great game for you.

Game has some great potential but just far too frustrating. I fully get the concept of trying not to “hand hold” to make the game more difficult, but so much of this game is just running all over the map just hoping you find the right person to talk to and trigger the correct speech line. The entire game is mostly just based on brut force.
Then there is the combat system. You have no control at all over what your team does in combat. To make it worse, the AI is horrible. You will find your team wasting mana casting a cc spell on an already cc’d enemy or casting the same spell over and over that the enemy is immune to. A strong monster will be one hit away from death and your mage will cast three straight buffs instead of killing the monster.

Creatio Ex Nihilo: Aition
OMG BATTLE THESE SHITTY GODS IN THIS ShITTY GaME
– Real player with 10.0 hrs in game
***Before beginning, I would like to give a special thanks to my brother, Cold Dingo [33rd], for proofing this lengthy review so early in the morning when I am certain he would have preferred sleep. Your selflessness was not overlooked.
Creatio Ex Nihilo: Aition-literally translated from Latin as, “creation from nothing: cause”-is a turn-based strategy roleplaying title depicting the inception of the universe from a being known as Uros. As an avid fanatic of Dungeons & Dragons, this title struck my interest considering much of the former lore from the tabletop game stemmed from Greek mythology as does CEN:A. Even though the concept of this project is intriguing, the execution does appear to lack polish.

Expeditions: Rome

In Expeditions: Rome, you exert the will of Rome through your actions across the world stage, from the bright blue coasts of Greece to the deep forests of Gaul.

Maze Party
So the game initally starts off with really fuzzy graphics. If you fix the resolution size, it will make the graphics manageable. From there, the difficulty is what you make it. If you want it really hard, it gets really hard. It is fun with friends for sure. I think it’s worth the try, and it has a lot of potential.
