A-Gents
Really liked this game. It’s been quite a while waiting for the devs to release the last 2 stages, but I’m glad it has finally happened.
If you grew up playing Atari or the original NES, then you’ll probably like this game. Otherwise you’ll probably think the game is too hard, with graphics that make you dismiss it before trying it. That said, the two new stages (5 & 6) are quite a bit harder than the game had been when it only had four stages.
The new stages add an additional controller mapping that brings new functionality to the game. You can now snipe, lay dynamite charges, call air strikes, in addition to your usual controls. Enhancing the original controls are new weapons, most notably a flame thrower, which is great fun and powerful.

Introduction
A-Gents is a pixelated shooting game reminiscent of Metal Slug. At the time I write this, you have the choice of playing one of two characters, Emma or Shean, who play the same. There isn’t too much of a story to the game, though each level has their own objective that offers some bit of a story if you’re interested. The game currently only has two episodes with five levels each but more are promised to come.
Gameplay
You can play the game with either a game controller or your keyboard and mouse. You can also play alone or with a friend locally. The game is pretty simple, you walk around and shoot down enemies and objects while clearing mission objectives and making it to the end of a level. There are a variety of guns to be used, or you can use a knife. You also have grenades which I found extremely useful as well dynamite to do heavy duty damage. A noted feature is that you can aim your gun 360 degrees, apparently before this update you could only aim in four directions though I haven’t played it that way.

I figured this would like a cool little X-com: UFO Defense type of game, but I was mistaken. The UI is somehow even less user friendly and the entire objective of the game seems to be in finding ways to piss me off.
I expected better, honestly.

Another Warfare
This game has great effects, particles and all.
Enemies are standard.
Mechanics are good by themselves.
But level design is really bad.
Levels look alike, which makes you don’t like the visuals.
besides last 2-3 level they are not challenging in any way and this makes mechanics useless too
But in the end It’s not boring or anything. It is 175MB you can just buy&download&try in no time.

In Another Warfare time moves only when you move, like in SUPER HOT. But now, in a 2D environment
I had a lot of fun playing through the whole game. It’s a short experience, fair for the price offered.
The level design really impressed me. You can really grasp the mechanics and different enemy types just by the levels themselves, learning as you progress. I never found myself stuck in a level that felt too difficult and were never bored by a level that felt too slow or easy.

Battle Bugs
Game of my childhood. Still very good in 2021, a bit too easy, but super fun to play. And the idea of you being a general of an army of insects fighting another army of insects for cakes and pizza that some guy forgot on his dining table is very cool.
Game is made with a lot of attention to details wchich is common for 90’s games. Every insect has it’s own abilities and powers but also it’s own animations for moving, attacking, dying etc. There is plenty of humor here, it is not the top class humor, but it’s okay considering how old the game is. Overall very addictive and fun, I am so happy to play it again. If you are an old gamer and want to show somebody what games looked like in 90-s this is a good example of it.

Definitely bought this for the nostalgia. Its a great game though. Starts out really easy so you can understand the basic concepts then starts to get more challenging. Good game for a child to get an idea of how older games used to be. Its got childish humor and cartoon graphics and it will help build critical thinking skills without being overly complicated. You have to use the manual in additional content section in steam to get past the start screen guard rhinobugs.

Black Powder Red Earth®
Join the Glorious 8 Bit War
Disclaimer: I received this game for free due to subscribing to the creator’s Patreon. As such, I have been able to provide feeback during the game’s Alpha build using Discord.
Let us get one thing out of the way; despite the game’s old school 8 bit art style and focus on turn based tactics, this game is NOT XCOM. There is no over watch, as you are on the clock and speed is your security. Your success is based on your tactical decisions, not by giving your Cold Harbor fire team some cool gadgets. It is turn based tactics boiled down to a more simple form, with some random events thrown in for added variables. There are also tools at your disposal to give your soldiers an advantage, which you will need.

Black Powder Red Earth (BPRE) is a neat little strategy game that is worth checking out (if you find it on sale).
I personally love the aesthetic, atmosphere, and presentation—easily the strongest point of the game. This is further helped by its influence of the graphic novel the game is based on.
The gameplay of BPRE is divided up into three modes: Raid, High Profile Attack, and Exfil. The mechanics all work the same between all the modes, however, the scenarios you’re put in force you to change your playstyle in order to succeed. In Raid, you might be moving methodically checking all of the buildings for the HVT, while in High Profile Attack, you may be constantly risking your men by moving across buildings to exfil, complete with a healthy amount of butt-clenching moments. You’re going to have to take risks in this game, it’s just a matter of weighing the losses.

Egg of Empire
when i first saw this game on steam i was with my friends and we thought the name was so funny we had to buy it we saw it would be coming out in 2 days so we had a sleepover waiting for the game to be released and we were not disappointed. this game is every thing i want in a indie game its funny has good game play and its fun to learn. when you get into to game it does not tell you how to play so it is trial and error and it feels rewarding like you did this. the only problems i had were i wish the select was not a on screen button and instead assigned to a key or mouse button, as well as the hit boxes might glitch out were every thing is no clip only happened once to me tho and with a quick restart it was back and since you can save it wasn’t a problem. but i only played for about a hour so idk how often or if it is a recurring thing at all over all 8/10 aslo if you dont want to do the trial and error type learning the creator made a Tutorial which i will link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ln6YMH4Fdos&t=187s

Full Metal Sergeant
You have 12 weeks to turn the recuits into soldiers!
Set up your training plan. Each exercise will affect a characteristic of the recruits. Watch their stamina, if it drops too much the exercise will not be effective. Unlock new and more advanced trainings with Prestige Points.
Raise the level of your soldiers. The stronger they are, the more Prestige Points your boot camp will gain. Try to get them qualified as a diver or paratrooper.
Another way to accumulate Prestige is to beat other schools in competitions. Do you have the right recruit to challenge the Navy in a swimming competition? Or a sniper rifle challenge maybe?

Simplistic, boring action game.
I did not expect much from Repa Games, seeing that their games look like asset flips. This might be one. If not, it is otherwise a low-effort game.
Store page also lies or at least exaggerates greatly. It lists the following features:

Increasing Complexity* Dynamic Music* Beautiful Visual style[/olist]
First, there’s three enemy types. Each has one straightforward attack pattern. The game progresses in “waves” that show diminutive differences to each other; maybe there’s slightly more enemies in each wave. I couldn’t tell the difference.
