Urizen Frosty Plus The New Warriors
Lucky me gets to write the first review for Urizen Frosty Plus The New Warriors. This expressive word salad of a title is certainly interesting, but unfortunately more effort was put into the title than the actual game. This is a 2D retro pixel platform brawler where you take your choice of retro pixel “warrior” and bash up various undeads and ghosts and things through traditional 2D retro platformer hack and slash kind of stuff.
This game was launched almost 3 months ago and has zero reviews. So kudos to the developer for not using fake/compromised accounts to write fake positive reviews. I see that a lot, it’s bad. In a similar vein, while this was slapped together with the godawful abomination and insult to all that is good and right in gaming, GameMaker Studio, it’s not a template flip, that I can see. The vast majority of GMS games on Steam are simply copy+pastes of tutorials, demos and templates. It really seems they made a genuine attempt at a video game here (with 54 different sprites to choose from and 69 levels, apparently), they just didn’t really know how to or have the budget to hire proper developers. A+ for effort, though.

URUZ “Return of The Er Kishi”
I just finished the game after 5.6 hours of playtime. I must say that this game consist of great pixel art and amazing soundtrack. Other than those, game is needed to be improved at some points such as sound effects, combat mechanics and level design. Sound effects and fight mechanics should include more feeling, otherwise its empty. I do not want to compare with Dead Cells but when you fight you feel you fight, you feel you did combo or etc. Combat systematics are quite nice and simple, developer did not want to make it more complicated and way more nonsense. It is as it’s supposed to be. Quest systematic can be enhanced by adding more useful map and in-game indicators. And lastly, user interface can be made more polished and solid like Minecraft’s. I loved the way game operate the Turkish mythology. Also, this game is the only one of its kind if we consider the story and origin. Thank you for your effort. I enjoyed while playing. Waiting for your future projects.

Hikaye konusunda: Gayet güzel düşünülmüş, Türk mitolojisiyle alakalı olması ise ayrı bir heyecan verici olmasına rağmen oyunun ortasında biraz tekdüze olmuş aynı şeyi tekrar tekrar yapıyoruz, hikaye de bu nedenle biraz kopuk geliyor. Başlangıç ve bitiş ise harika.
Müzikler: Çok bir şey demeye gerek yok, oyuna çok iyi uyuyor ve gerçekten güzel yapılmış.
Oynanış: 0, direkt ve net olarak 0, her 3 saniyede bir görebileceğiniz savaş animasyonuna takılıp uçan karakterler mi dersiniz, görevlerin buga girip otağlara girip çıkmadan kabul edilmemesi mi dersiniz, canınız ne ara gidiyor, siz karşıdakine vurdunuz mu vurmadınız mı belli değil, zaten karakteri kontrol etmesi çok zor iken düşmanların bu kadar fazla vurması da sürekli can basma spamlemenize neden oluyor, yaylar başlı başına bi saçmalık, hasar vurmuyor, kontrol efektleri dışında kullanmaya değmiyor, ama en azından düşmanlar güzel yapılmış, sürekli aynı şeyle savaşıp bıkmıyorsunuz.

Allan
I enjoyed playing Allan.
Allan is twin-stick shooter with some puzzle mechanics.
The whole game is like an old Zelda 2D dungeon crawler with an interesting work on light and shadow with 3D depth.
The ambiance is nice, you can just follow the adventure to discover secret rooms and power ups.
Enemies encounter are lethal which is nice to add some challenge.
Worth its cost as a small game!

Allan is a game with a very strong ambiance.
Of course there are puzzles and ennemies but the main thing about it is what it inspires.
You walk in a space that is no different from top down action rpg you could have played on Super NES or Genesis, stuff like a link to the past, but with a really deep 3D effect, combined with shadows and lights that really make you feel small and in danger.
Also, sound effects make you enter the game quite strongly, even if at start, it does not seem to do it.
Most of the time it is quite calm but then, you walk on a trap, get shot… or an ennemy sees you and starts running closer.

Evil Tonight
If Resident Evil Village hadn’t come out in July, Evil Tonight would be my personal Game of the Year. ET is the whole package; excellent art direction, great music, fun characters, and intriguing storyline, and a simple but sweet and satisfying gameplay loop.
Evil Tonight is a kind of survival horror action adventure, just without the horror. Think of it as more of a supernatural survival thriller through a whimsical anime lens, and you’ve got a good idea of what to expect. Sharp writing and clever puzzle design alongside simple but fun combat describe the experience perfectly.

This is a wonderfully challenging game. Great spritework, solid animations and character designs to boot. Just bear in mind that all the enemies hit like trucks so do expect to die a lot. The bosses I feel are challenging, but I do think that the stamina system isn’t necessary considering you already need to get close and personal with enemies most of the game if you want to conserve ammunition and you get hurt if you run into enemies anyway. Plus, you don’t deal a whole lot of damage with the knife, so most encounters you should expect to swing at your enemies at least four or five times to take them down at a minimum.
