Until You Fall
Until you fall is a Roguelite swordfighting game. The basic gameplay is that you advance from room to room killing enemies and receiving powerups as you go. Enemy attacks are telegraphed and avoided by either aligning your weapons to block, or moving your head to dodge. Different weapons have different traits and special abilities, and you can mix and match any two weapons to come up with whatever combos you want to try. Each room and boss you beat awards currency which is used to unlock and upgrade your weapons, so there is progression between each run.

Have you ever played Infinity Blade? If you liked the combat style of Infinity Blade, then you’ll like the combat style of Until You Fall. This is NOT a realistic melee game, but that’s not what it tries to be. Until You Fall is an incredibly fun fantasy arcade-like melee roguelike. Gameplay is simple but very fun and intense (depending on the difficulty of your enemies). The weapon unlocks and upgrades are fun to experiment with, and the melee mechanics are very satisfying. Finally, I really really love the soundtrack - it’s very retro gamey.

Elium - Prison Escape
I stumbled upon this game by chance and being a fan of the stealth action genre, decided to give it a shot.
The combat system was a pleasant surprise in it’s simplicity and emulation of actual combat. There are no flashy moves, lengthy/scripted combat sequences or any overt attempt to impress you, but the down to earth mechanics on how to land a blow or the encouraged timely use of parries/sidestepping has it’s own charm if implemented correctly.
Having said that, Elium also provides a challenging environment to play through as there are no healing features other than a small boost upon completing a level. This has been frustrating at times, but ultimately I felt that this added to the challenging nature to which I ended up feeling positive about.

I bought this game In baited anticipation in hopes of finding another good semi-roguelike game. Needless to say, I was disappointed by my purchase of this game.
For starters “Is the game fun?” Yes, it can be. Would I recommend buying it? Based on my experience, no, you shouldn’t. At least not until some of the game’s quirks are ironed out.
Graphically speaking, it’s okay, I’ve seen better by Unity’s standard, it runs good enough on most rigs. The combat does have it’s moments (but I will talk about that in a bit). Level design is about on par with what I expect from Indie developers, but there are a couple questionable choices.

The Warlin of Heroes
it’s a simple but attractive and innovative/different game, worth to give a try
– Real player with 1.1 hrs in game
A single short loop of battle music repeated ad nauseum.
Lackluster gameplay with very little player influence on the outcome.
No sound effects to go with the attacks.
The English translation is kind of a mess.
Avoid until they make a bunch of fixes.

Katana Kata
Kata Katana is what you’d expect as a rogue-like. It is very much an early access game but if you look past its shabbiness it’s very engaging what at first seems like an archaic simplistic game becomes much more than that. The controls while somewhat clunky at times are simple yet hard to master. The sense of progression here is great in the beginning you are a frail novice flailing your Weapon about but once you get that timing down and start getting the grips with the game it feels elating. There are a few different weapon types and a nice variety in enemies. I don’t wish to spoil the game for those that care but just know that so far it has been fun. I for one look forward to what comes next.

Fun little game! works well using xbox controller. Never tried Mouse n keyboard. Was happy to see it displays in 3440-1440 @120Hz.
This game brings me back to my summer of 1985, my Mom brought home an Apple PC from the school district, for the summer only, and I fell in love with Karateka. Love the simple art form and the genre!
Edit: 7 hours later, and I still haven’t passed the Garden level, and I only beat my nightmare 2/10 times. Apparently, I am horrible at this. I always start at bath house, and am still enjoying my failures

Setting Sun
Setting Sun is an Co-op Rogue-lite Dungeon Crawler.
It’s set in a universe during the Japanese Edo period where Yokai roam the world freely.
The land is in turmoil because the Shogun rules with an iron fist.
A couple of wanderers answer the call to help mankind and fight the source of the corruption together.
THE SHOGUN’S DOMAIN
Traverse through a randomly generated room-based dungeon covering multiple zones on your way to the castle.
Several different types of rooms can be discovered on your way to the boss like enemy rooms, healing rooms, gamble rooms,…
THE SHINTO PANTHEON WATCHES OVER YOU
You have a chance to discover Dragon Shrines in the dungeon which will allow you to alter your abilities for that dungeon run.
So each time you start a new dungeon run you can try out a different build.
REBUILD THE VILLAGE
Aside from the dungeon the game also contains a village.
The village is like a sanctuary for the player where he can roam around before and after dungeon runs, talk to NPCs, buy upgrades, craft gear and more!
When you first start the game, the town is pretty abandoned.
But along your travels in the dungeon, you have a chance to find new characters to recruit to your town which unlocks new features.
For example finding Masamune on your travels will unlock the blacksmith in town and will allow you to craft new gear with better stats.
THE WANDERER
Multiple classes are planned but the first playable class in Setting Sun is the Ronin.
A Ronin was a Samurai without a master. An expert in the art of sword fighting but one who chose not to honor the code of the Warrior and thus considered “on his own” or a vagrant.
MAIN FEATURES
-
Slice your way through a procedurally generated dungeon
-
Master a skill-based fighting system
-
Learn the ways of the Ronin class (and several other classes planned)
-
Fight the Shogun’s army, thiefs, Yakuza and even Yokai
-
Try out different builds each run by discovering new blessings
-
Play the game solo or couch co-op
-
Recruit new allies and bring life back to the village
-
Unlock new buildings and features in town
-
Find new patterns to craft different gear sets or cook new Sushi dishes
-
Enjoy a unique trapanese soundtrack
-
Take a relaxing bath in the hot springs
If you like what you see, remember to
Vagrant Sword
Simply game, rewarding when you make progress. It starts off in this town where everyone warns you about a temple so that’s where you obviously gotta go too. The dungeons are randomly generated so you can’t prepare, the only this you gotta do is get cash and get better weapons/gear. It’s punishing at first to die but not discouraging so once you get the hang of dodging you really get into the swing of things.
Overall its a good game for the price, it’s also quick to beat but still enjoyable!

Pretty straightforward game, relaxing medieval Japanese music. Reminds me of my very first Pokemon game.

Challenging combat
Combat in game is mainly real-time sword fighting with a focus on immersion and realism. The player can dodge, parry, and unleash a deadly combo or use special attacks to quickly overpower the enemy. Combat in this game relies heavily on player’s fast reaction and strategy. Also worth noting, most of the combat animations are high quality, motion-captured.
