Fidel Dungeon Rescue
Fidel Dungeon Rescue is to puzzle games what Spelunky is to platformers. (To clarify, this is a very high compliment, as Spelunky is probably my favourite video game of all time.)
Truthfully though, both games really do share some familiar elements and design decisions. In this game, you play a cute little dog having to rescue Grandma from a dungeon filled with all sorts of baddies. You navigate through multiple, tile-based floors, killing enemies as you go, and leaving your leash trailing behind you, blocking you from ever stepping on the same tile twice. Where the similarities to Spelunky begin are in familiar enemy motifs such as spiders, snakes or flesh-eating plants. Further similiarity arises in a time-based ghost, the randomized rogue-lite nature of the game and the strategic, yet fast-paced gameplay that Fidel’s mechanics enable.

I like Fidel Dungeon Rescue a lot. I revisit it once in a while to complete the daily challenge or beat the main game. It never goes on too long and is always fun.
One of it’s strengths is definitely it’s great replayability. Since puzzles are randomly generated, two dungeons are never the same, and it has a real impact on the gameplay. Due to the various rules of each different tiles and creatures, a slight position offset may drastically change the best path to an exit. There’s also many possible solutions to most puzzles, so some thought is always required even with “obvious” situations.

This game is tough at times, but it’s fun! I would say that it’s a mix between pinball and Pong. I did notice that sometimes I will jump to some other part of the map, I don’t know if that’s a mechanic that I’m not aware of or if it’s a bug. It’s the type of game that you learn it by playing it, and it’s really easy to pick up. This is a great game for all ages.

Space Hack
Overall, after spending 45 hours grinding through this game and going through all 15 BioSpheres and all 45 levels, I can say for sure that Space Hack isn’t worth the experience in present times or at least has aged horribly.
TL;DR: This game is extremely tedious and repetitive and although I had fun in a few places I can’t really recommend this to anyone unless they are looking to complete a random game and they are willing to spend hours and hours battling with the same stuff. Even for a 2005 game it suffers from horrible pacing which shows the lack of interesting mechanics to play with.

I’ve been playing ARPGs for a long time. This sucks as an ARPG.
These are my problems with it:
-
No chest system. Biggest problem in my case. I like to save items I might or not use in the future in some place. This game didn’t have that. I ended up using my base to save good gear, by the end I had over 50 items laying around.
-
A lot back-tracking. Get this: the inventory is 10x5. A bit tiny except some items can be 2x4 in size, and as mentioned before, no chest system. So let’s say you find 5 items with size 2x4, and then a 2x2 item. You’re done, you can’t pick up the 2x2 one. You have to go back to your base (for which you have a thing called “hi-techs”, which are basically spells; most are good and useful, some don’t use your energy), deal with items however you want to deal them (again, no chest system), go back to the quest, rinse and repeat. I think at the fourth or fifth time it happens in the same map, you’re allowed to swear at the devs.

Dig Dog
One of my absolute contenders to the game of the year in this 2018, and one of the most perfect arcade experiences that I have found in Steam since ‘Switch ‘N’ Shoot’.
Basically, ‘Dig Dog’ is ‘Spelunky’ at the speed of cocaine. It uses a procedural algorithm for the construction of a descendant layout that is as fine tuned and well balanced as in Derek Yu’s influential classic.
But in its main mechanic it looks to the sheer arcade intensity of drilling Japanese arcade games, feeling like a much more intense and less cerebral version of ‘Mr. Driller,’ that instead in the use of logic or puzzle elements, it relies in your ninja skills.

It is rare to find such simple mechanics, graphics and music done so well. This game is a love letter to games of yore that if released decades ago would be considered a classic. The controls are extremely responsive and tight making it so that each risky situation you get out of and each death you suffer feels completely responsible to your actions, and your actions alone.
The graphics while primarily black, white and two shades of a background color convey all the information you need to know about the game: White means its an entity of some sort, yellow means it harbors a coin, red means it harbors a heart. The only downside I have found when it comes to the mechanics being a bit of difficulty in figuring out exactly what the power-ups actually do, however with some quick experimentation it becomes clear.
