The Deed of Deception
The Deed of Deception starts as a 4-player cooperative puzzle game. Working together to find the deed and inherit your fortune. Once the deed is discovered the players realize that there is no inheritance to be had. There is something in this manor. Something ancient, something…evil. The player who finds the deed becomes possessed. Given special abilities and powers with the singular mission of trapping their friends and stealing their souls to fuel the evil in this place. The gameplay changes based on the type of possession the manor decides to use. Each variation offers different abilities. Sometimes using the element of deception to trick or brute strength to overpower. The souls of those who have been trapped try to help any way they can. Maybe giving items, or hints. Anything they can to help those escape where they failed.
Fire and Brimstone
The possessed is given the power to wield ethereal flame. The flames consume the manor slowly creeping from room to room as he lays traps for the panicked players to step in and succumb to the flame while they search for the ingredients to the potion to extinguish the flame with the help of the spirits in the manor.
The Grog
An ancient pet of Beelzebub himself inhabits the body of the possessed. The grog can freeze the players in fear. Unable to move. The only thing that can stop the grog is holy light and the players must find all of the broken pieces of the holy lantern before the grog freezes everyone.
_The Manor is calling for you, will you answer? Uncle Barnabas sadly met his maker. Before he left this plane, he designed several puzzles and challenges to test his relatives and find a fit heir to take possession of his fortune. Finding the deed within the house will be the answer to your players. Strangely you don’t remember your uncle. At least not until this strange butler came to tell you of his last will and testament. But you go because, why not? The promise of riches is far too tempting to let go…
The deed is more than paper and ink. It is something ancient. Something …. Evil. Promising possession of unimaginable riches but the possession is not of things. IT, this place, possesses you. Manifesting the evil within these walls into the poor soul who stumbles upon and awakens it. This manor means to unleash the evils from other dimensions into our world. They need the life force of you and your friends to open their gate. They have almost completed their work and you are all that stand in the way of this unimaginable plan. Can you stop them?_

Elmarion: the Lost Temple
A wonderful dungeon crawler, a bit like might and magic. A beautiful world, endless dungeons, and crowds of monsters - everything we love. But there is no turn-based combat (although they promise to add at the time of release). There is no big map. Unobvious increase in levels. And what I don’t like is that you can’t make a save. But in general it is quite an interesting and enjoyable game.

⭐️I do not even know. It seems like a cool game. But there are also enough cons. Some things, of course, are debatable. But here’s my vision:
⭐️Pros:
1. A fairly rare genre of party RPG in the first person. I haven’t seen such games for a long time.
2. Generation of dungeons. The idea is not new. But I was glad that it was implemented here.
3. A sufficient number of heroes to choose from, a large number of abilities of the heroes. You can make a variety of games and potentially play the game several times.

Full Mojo Rampage
Review edited for release… still nothing but good things to say about it!
There is tons more I could say about this game and how much I enjoy it than what is in this review, so free to message me on Steam if you have any questions. I highly recommend this game if you’re looking for something new in your action roguelite/dungeon-crawling experiences… it was the most polished Early Access Alpha I had ever played, and is even better now that it is released.
Graphics
Very nice and consistently styled, even in the character screen. The choice in what a friend of mine put as “playful yet macabre” is spot-on, and a very nice change of pace from others (not that those are bad, but FMR is a unique breath of fresh air).

If you didn’t think there was enough “Gauntlet” in “Gauntlet”, you should probably invest in this. I will mention Gauntlet rather a lot in this “review”, btw.
The first point, and it’s a reasonably large one, that this game scores over Gauntlet is that it has genuinely random (thus replayable ad inifinitum*) levels and a fairly expansive character customization section make this a far more worthwhile purchase. Gauntlet promised randomised, limitless levels and failed to deliver, preferring instead to rotate a level through 180degrees or make you do them “the opposite way round” (from start to finish in a ‘death’ level, for example). It’s obvious, woeful and does nothing to hide the fact that you’re always playing from a small group of levels that can easily be remembered, no matter what way round they are.

Old Gods
Old Gods is an RPG with battles, puzzles, a beautiful game world and many interesting characters.

Story
You wake up in a place called nirvana. An old lady wants you to transfer your soul to a company so that you can then be assigned to heaven or hell. You slowly realize that you may have died. But this is only the beginning of your misfortune. The machine that should assign you goes crazy and the video call with the rulers of heaven and hell escalates. Your soul roll tears apart and everything trembles. Your eyes go black and two voices ring out in your head. The creators have a special task for you: bring down the gods! You wake up but you are no longer yourself… you are two people now….
Characters
Mimi
Mimi is a truly rare creature. She can easily shrink so small that she fits in your pocket. Mimi also has a truly unique accent that she adapted during her summer term at the duck school. Without Mimi, you would not get very far on your adventure.
Next Character coming soon…
Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower
429.4h (2021Nov16). The final Trial. Stage tells Power 78+, in fact there are summoners, two lvl 44 (power 88) and one lvl 45 (power 90). I understand that people might think, this is a waste of time. That I needed that number of hours is not the point. The point is, the final chapter of the main campain is labeled ‘Power 80+’ This suggests, 4**** champions might do it. Fubar (you know what I mean, if you saw ‘Saving Private Ryan’)
260.1h and counting (2021Aug29). The Warhammer universe is permanent at war, good vs. evil, whatsoever. Warhammer Silver Tower provides fantasy and roleplaying (what you probably would expect from a Warhammer game), presented in a quite modern tile based menue. So you have to put in a little phantasy of your own to bring fantasy alive.

Straightforward turn based game with nice quick play cycles. It is fairly intuitive so you can get stuck in quickly and the graphics are good. Lots of interesting characters to acquire, but getting them takes a lot of grind and they are generated randomly so you can end up getting the same one you don’t want several times :(
It is a great time waster and I like that you play for a little or as long as you like without having to worry about remembering information between games.
Some satisfying moments when using special powers and blowing up in game objects to take out monsters.

Shards of Feyra
If you explained Divinity: Original Sin to a Martian programmer, she might create Shards of Feyra. It is baffling, buggy and a transparent cash grab. It is also entirely incomprehensible.
When you start a new game, you are given the option of choosing two fixed characters for two parties – the default settings are one Wizard/Death Knight team, and one Paladin/Rogue team. You are also given the option of picking from a list of traits for the party – including fragile, resistant and hasty. Whatever impact that this has is entirely unexplained.

Ark of Artemis
QUICK FACTS
Type: H-RPG
Developer: Kujirabo
Publisher: Otaku Plan
Price: €14,99
Est. playtime: 4-6 hours
Censorship: yes (patch available at publisher’s website)
THE GAME
MECHANICS
Ark of Artemis (AoA) offers straightforward RPG Maker gameplay, with a few twists. The basic mechanics are all there: you control a MC, guiding her through cities where she can interact with NPC’s, or exploring dungeons where she can fight monsters. The latter is either done by turn-based combat, or, once the level difference is high enough, simply by running into them.

The first few times I played this game, I really had no clue what I was doing.
then it slowly started to click, now I’m having a great time playing this little game.
First off, this game should be needs to be played with a Controller, be it Steam or Xbox, it’s just easier. (I had problems with it not responding to my keystrokes on my laptop, controller use is near flawless (you’ll occasionally charge an arrow and have it drop as if it didn’t register the charge.)
The idea is you’ve been killed, but your soul escapes the underworld are you come back to life. you choose a “challenge” to keep your life, be it killing your killer, making money, or killing monsters, amongst other things… additional challenges unlock with subsequent playthroughs, you can only start with “Killing your killer” or “exchange your soul for another”
