Angelwood
Have you ever felt like living through the 2019-2020 school year?
I sure hope you haven’t. But now you can simulate living through it! The school year starts off unsuspectingly enough, but you very quickly realize that the town’s mafia is controlling people through an unseen world. As Sophomore John Smith, it’s your job to infiltrate the mafia’s bases with your friends and take down the evil lurking in broad daylight.
There’s a story to be told
You’re not going to be facing the same cut and dry school year like you used to. Taking down the 21st century mafia isn’t an easy task for a Sophomore, after all. Don’t like reading? Some scenes are voice acted!
Action based combat
Live in the moment! Fight your way through the mafia’s ranks with real time combat. From sword fighters to gun slingers to robotic mech users and more, your friends have your back throughout the whole journey.
The mafia isn’t the only threat you’re facing!
If you enjoy living, you better hit the books! As a student, you have to keep up with your school life, social life, AND mafia life. If you thought the mafia was scary, just wait and see what happens when you don’t do your homework! Most importantly, you need to be there for your friends.
Work on yourself outside of battle
Fighting enemies isn’t the only way to become stronger in this game. You can take a well-deserved break from combat by playing some computer games to make more equipment to use in battle. There’s even a skill tree you can customize! Or perhaps you’d wish to train with your allies directly…?

I LOVE RPGs but am terrible at playing them, particularly during combat. I always play on Easy, Casual, or Story mode. When that’s genuinely easier than Normal mode, I love the game. Battle Hunters has an Easy mode that’s anything but easy. I keep running into combats I can’t handle. So until the developers update Easy mode so it really is easy, or add a Wimp mode for lousy players like me, I’m going to stop playing. Otherwise I like the game a lot. Sure, there’s no plot to speak of, and characters are less than one-dimensional. But there’s a lot going on that I would enjoy if I could handle the combat.

Lame Defenders
Lame Defenders is a mix of RTS, RPG and Tower (Hero) Defense games featuring real time tactical combat with ability to slow time. Hire many different heroes and assemble your team of up to five of them and beat waves of enemy monsters. Earn gold and experience, hire more heroes, tweak your teams and slay more monsters to dominate the online leaderboards. I hope you will like the game. I am a solo developer from Czech Republic who likes games and everything around gaming for a long time.
Arenas and monsters
The game currently contains 10 arenas with different looks and types of enemies that you have to beat. You will face weak pawns but also elite monsters that will cause you lots of trouble with their powerful skills. You have to read carefully description of enemy skills as there are skills that will wipe your heroes very quickly if not countered correctly.
Heroes
You can assemble a team of maximum 5 heroes of your choosing from over 20 heroes at the time (more heroes will come soon). The heroes might not allways be the coolest and strongest people but hey everyone has right to be a bit lame from time to time. Every hero has 3 unique skills for you to use. There is no mana or other resource, only cooldowns. Pick your team wisely as there are different types of heroes as you know them from other games - there are tankier heroes, healers, damage dealers or supports with buffs and debuffs. You can also customize playstyle of every hero by adding attribute points (attack, defense, agility) as you earn experience and levels.
Battle
In every arena there are different monsters that will spawn periodicaly in waves. New waves will introduce new monsters and every wave will make all monsters stronger. You have to use your heroes to beat as many waves as you can and delay the monster invasion and give your people time to build defenses. You also have possibility to slow time to give yourself a little break and do some thinking about your strategy.
Controls
You control Lame Defenders just as any other real-time strategy game like Warcraft/Starcraft. You can use mouse and keyboard to control your heroes.
Online leaderboars
Lame Defenders has its own online leaderboards for every battleground in the game. Can you compete for the best score?

Legend of Mana
This game is my favorite game of all time. It has so much depth. Everything about it is great. Its hard for me to be objective here so I’ll try to break out what I love about it in order of importance.
1. The combat. The combat has a lot of variety to it with multiple weapons, plunge attacks, magic spells, golem behaviors, monster pets, and synch effects. Its kinda like a fighting game in that you can combine skills together to chain some pretty awesome combos. You can play local co op too and beat the crap out of the enemies with your friends.

The moment I saw the announcement of Legend of Mana Remaster appear both on Steam and Nintendo Direct a few months back, I was overcome with nostalgia and anticipation. This game was a favorite and staple of m middle school days and I remember fondly the times I played with my brother completing dungeons and quests, bouting out in the arena with our characters, and just explore the world of Fa’diel and be mystified by its surroundings and diverse characters.
Now, as an adult, I have revisited my little treehouse and see through it with a newer perspective and compared it with what I can remember in my childhood.

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.
Augmented Future
The concept was intriguing, but I didn’t like the pseudo real-time combat. The timers are way too fast: there’s almost no time to click (much less think).
The interface is clunky: lots of waiting for text or buttons to load, for instance. I did play around with the settings and improved the speed as best I could, but waiting for components to load in such a minimalistic interface just feels bad.
There were also some basic bugs, like superimposed buttons.
Bottom line for me: if I’m going to play a game that ditches graphics for the sake of gameplay, I want the interface to be very good, and not something I feel like I’m fighting.

Red Solstice 2: Survivors
A few things about Red Solstice 2:
-
Red Solstice is one of those games where having a group of people in voice chat with whom you regularly play makes it significantly better.
-
I found the unlock progression-rate to be rather slow, yet far from the worst. If you’ve ever played Vermintide 2, it’s noticeably faster than that, but still a bit of a grind. Though, take this with a grain of salt, as I dislike all time-accumulated or points-accumulated unlock-gating in games that do not have a tycoon-like feedback element to them.

I’ve gotten some play time out of this and enjoyed it for the most part, so I’ll give it a thumbs up, especially for its price tag.
If you’re fine with lots of bugs, some balance issues and weird descriptions with new content releases which are fixed between a week to a month later, then this is a pretty solid game. It’d be an awesome game if it wasn’t constantly tripping over itself with every content release.
Singleplayer is serviceable with bots if you build them and use them right. There are a lot of “wrong” builds which will make playing singleplayer with bots miserable until the “right” builds are discovered. Every game mode can also be played online coop with friends or strangers, which tends to make the experience more interesting.

Tower of Time
Tower of Time
Tower of Time is a squad-based dungeon crawler with predetermined character types whose attributes and skills can be leveled up occasionally and who fight in battles that require strategic and tactical thinking.
TL;DR
Though I felt the game got off to a slow and perhaps not so interesting start, after aquiring a few companions and getting down to level 5 it grabbed my interest and continued doing so as I progressed. I ended up enjoying the game quite a bit. This is one of those games that you need to get into a ways before you really start grooving on it. The fact that I bothered to write such a long review shows how much I liked this game, even with some stuff that bugged me.

In short:
AMAZING 50+ hours RPG with gorgeous graphics, an enticing story, tactical battles, balanced gameplay and original mechanics!
Summary
-
Very smooth gameplay, with gorgeous graphics and scenery and non-claustrophobic dungeons
-
Unintrusive interface, with sophisticated RPG mechanics
-
Original take on RPG mechanics, specially regarding the battles
-
The battles feel very tactical, due to the slow time feature. It is not turn-based, but it feels like XCOM, and has a lot of variation like diverse objectives and scenarios.
