Hustle Game
A wonderful game!!!! When you start playing, you think that it is a waste of money and the game is not worth it. But continuing to play with every minute and random event, you understand that I have to score as many of these ***** points as possible. And so 7 shooting dogs out of 10! For cake developers)

In general, a pretty good game in which you have to
control a platform that can be moved horizontally from one wall to another, placing it under the ball, preventing it from falling.

Grid Slayer
Replayability allert!
Please let the look not mislead you. This game should be played by every player who likes card battles.
This game hits all the right buttons to be fun to play.
You are dropped on a gridfield and you get to choose where. Weather and environment are part of the things you need to keep in mind.
You start with a small number of assets (cards) and it is up to you how to use and manipulate (mods)those.
If you win, you gain cards and mods. If you lose, you sometimes get money to buy certain upgrades.

I just started this game and I already love it. If you are into strategy games that are easy to pick up but take a while to master, then this is the game for you. I like the characters and the different challenges that are put on the field, Only thing I would like to see is a fun animation when you kill one of the bad guys, I will edit my review as I get more into this game. Thanks for your time and happy gaming : )

Age of Fear 3: The Legend
I might not have bothered with a review since I need to be either incredibly impressed or massively wound up by a game to do it, but some dwarves asked me to.
I’m not kidding. I finished the first expansion (which was dirt cheap, short, well made and pretty fun overall) and then my little dwarfy soldiers had a conversation where they talked about how reviews help indie games and asked me to post one. Normally this would really annoy me, but considering how much time I’ve put into the completely free ‘Age of Fear: The Free World’ and the fact it genuinely made me laugh I’ll go along with the beardy little gits and pen this. I’ll do the usual and write sections about the different bits of the game that jump out at me, but I will say that you can stop reading, go download the absolutely free ‘Age of Fear: The Free World’, play that and decide if you’ll like this game based on your experience there. It’s free, which I might have mentioned already, has everything but a main story arc and is constantly being updated, which is crazy. Free game, yet still gets big updates? Yeah. Anyways, back to AoF 3.

Very good games and I played for 60+ hours now in this series. ThoughI have some feelings and suggestions:
First I go with some defaults and potential improvement in my opinion.
1. Difference race is not very well balanced.
1.1 Death power is too OP in general because the catapult of death is the only accessible one to capture, and super OP and can be resurrected. In late game you can even set up a catapult legion. Also. a legion of Lich is also OP because they can resurrect each other. No mentioning wights can be the solution to almost all hard fights. Basically a legion made up of death hydra, catapult and lich is way powerful than any combination in other races: high aoe damage with morale decrease for all, all-resurrect-able and not influenced by morale. Even units as dark knights which would be quite popular units in other races but it is off the top 3 OP list in Death units.

Extremely good and addictive game. This is a rogue-like and card-based game. You have to manage between killing enemies, flipping cards to get better items or running away to survive. In this game, you should set the best strategy to clean a room managing your mana points. If you like card games and rogue-like, you should play this game. Score: 8/10.

One Deck Dungeon
One Deck Dungeon is a lot of fun! You play an adventurer who decends into a dungeon made up of randomly drawn cards that you must overcome (or run away from). Fighting and disabling traps is resolved via dice rolls which are mitigated by your Skills. The number of dice is determined by your equipment. It’s a very clever and pretty game.
However, 13 hours in, I just stomped all the Fearless (hardest) mode dungeons with my Healing Spec Paladin. I mean, it wasn’t even close, even when she got completely unlucky. (for proof, feel free to check the screenshots on my profile) Perhaps Healadins are just overpowered once you know what’s going on.

One deck dungeon is a very faithful interpretation of the board game, and this translates into a very fun, albeit slightly repetitive experience.
At its heart, one deck dungeon is a simple dice game where you roll dice of 4 different colours in an attempt to overcome enemy encounters by using the dice to fill in the boxes on the enemy card. Dice can only be used to fill boxes of the same colour as the die and if the number on the die is higher than the value on the box. Any unfilled boxes then apply penalties in the form of damage or wasted time at the end of the round. At the end of each encounter you can then choose an additional die for future encounters, a skill which can be used to manipulate your dice in various ways, or experience towards your character level. This process then repeats until you eventually reach the boss or perish in the attempt.

ADOM (Ancient Domains Of Mystery)
Ancient Domains of Mystery… what a name. Truth be told, of all games I have played on my PC in the last 15 years, ADOM has surely been the one I keep returning to most often. And if there’s anything that hasn’t changed since the first time is that, whenever I do start up a new character, I can hardly keep myself off the game until the character dies… or until I win. Today the game is officially released on Steam, and the least I can do to repay ADOM and its team for hundreds upon hundreds of hours of fun is to review it.

There’s a lot I could say about ADOM but I’ll try to keep this brief:
Positives
-
The fact that the base ASCII game is, and always will be, free (it’s included in the Steam version, but you can download it stand-alone from the official website)
-
The new graphics update makes it much easier to see what’s going on and control your movements compared to the base game (i.e. if a monster is hostile to you, health bars, dots above sprites denoting status effects, the ability to click on things is especially helpful in your inventory,

Age of Fear 2: The Chaos Lord GOLD
My friends on steam know that I have to completely love a game, or absolutely hate it, to bother with a review. Unfortunately that surprise is ruined by the thumbs up spoiler they put on these reviews. All I can do to make up for that spoiler, is tell you what you will be getting yourself into with this title. Bear in mind, this game is a trilogy and I have only played this installment (What can I say, I love Chaos on Warhammer, and the succubus looks like that girl all of us took home after drinking a case of beer, but you wake up next to the orc, so…..)

It has been a while I didn’t write a serious review of a game. It also has been quite some time before the last time I had fantastic experience of an old-school strategy game. Strategy games are the victims of the long misleading direction of the development of the video game industry. Now the old-school indie & strategy games get so little attention is a sad story of ‘graphic does matter’ problem which I strongly disagree.
I was dying to see a marvelous old-school chess types of game back onto steam and never thought it would be possible until Age of Fear 2 has come.

Age of Fear: The Undead King GOLD
Very well crafted game, especially for a small indie dev. While this has elements of a fantasy rpg (spellcasting units, magical items, fighting “monsters”, etc.) it is an excellent turn-based tactics game. Each of the factions that you can play feels unique and requires different tactics to win battles. The stories can be hit and miss, sometimes they are funny and compelling, other times just ho-hum, but that is par for the course in even AAA games from my experience. Possibly the most impressive thing of all is the prompt, thoughtful replies that the dev, Les, provides to questions and comments on the discussion board. I bought the whole works in their “Stay at Home” bundle for about $20 and I have had more fun with this game than many titles I have bought for 2-3X as much and I still have plenty of content left to explore. GREAT WORK!!! Support indie games–buy this now!

Never judge a book by its cover. I was very surprised when found this diamond among many of indie-games. Nice design is pleasing to the eyes, great music, very nice story line, which is voiced in the form of a fantasy story - all that are creates the atmosphere of the game, that very addictive and don’t let you go. Very nice Turn-based fights like Heroes or Kings Bounty series. You can proceed main story or play random fights to raise your hero and troops. HUGE amount of artifacts and items. Random encounters with rewards and traps. If you like hardcore you can choose “Death Seeker” difficulty, that gives a huge challenge to every experienced player. You even can choose option “Items for troops” and gear them with artefacts, that can break difficulty but also can give a new experience for playing.

Rezrog
Theoretically, this is a good, simple game. In practice, it’s agony and frustration.
The graphics are nice, the gameplay simple but fun, etc. I wanted to like it - in fact, I do like the core game - but it’s surrounded by so many problems that it’s impossible to enjoy.
There are little things: no documentation, incredibly repetitive music. Some cludginess with the interface that makes inventory management awkward. (Want to see which character needs an item more? Go to one screen to trade the item, then back out of that, select a different screen to compare the stats/equip, back out and repeat 6 more times). But those are tolerable. The gameplay itself is simple and may bore some people, but it was exactly what I was in the mood for.

First off, as of this writing/v1.05: The bugs, personally, have not been bad. In 15 hours of gameplay, I’ve had to abandon just three dungeons due to blocked doors. Good on the devs for working so hard to fix the issues. One does wonder if they beta tested, though.
This is gonna meander, because gin.
Pros:
Having a selectable roster of seven characters is an entertaining spin on the dungeon-crawler.
Fun design aesthetic.
Cons:
Despite how the devs advertise it, Rezrog a rogue-LITE at best. Random dungeons and permadeath do not a roguelike make. Roguelikes are to RPGs as dark fantasy is to fantasy. The roguelike world hates you and wants you not just to die, but suffer and rage as you do. Every unidentified item you pick up should have the potential to violate you in ways that would make a hentai tentacle monster blush. In Rezrog, every item you find is unidentified until you right-click on it; there are no curses or detrimental effects, it’s all just vendor trash.

Defend the Rook
Great game, highly recommend trying it out. It might seem a little easy at first for this type of game where often you are meant to die a bunch and slowly become stronger with upgrades. You have 1-10 ascension levels, but the first 4 are super easy and then 7+ becomes pretty tough. I’m not super excited about how it scales at 7+ because it feels like artificial difficulty, everything starts to cost twice as much so you can’t upgrade everything. I would prefer the enemies becoming more challenging rather than having less upgrades.

Neat roguelite strategy game. Beat it on the highest difficulty, enjoyed figuring it out. I had fun with it and recommend it, but I’ll list stuff that bothered me:
-Your core loadout before any towers/traps are your castle and three heroes (warrior/rogue/mage) by default. You unlock variants of these classes as you play. It quickly became apparent to me that the easiest way to win was “buff the ranged characters” and turtle in the corner with defensive buffs. It’d be nice if the upgrades supported different goals. I believe I had one playthrough where my warrior carried me, and it’s because he had full map range, so he was basically a third ranged character.
