Crimson Ranch
The atmosphere is really effective, you feel claustrophobic even in the open areas, I was alert the whole time.
The art and music (specially the music) highly complement the experience.
I liked the puzzles too, nothing was unnecessarily complicated :)
I got the characters mixed up all the time and I’ll have to replay it to get the full story but that’s on me.

The story was short, and very nice.
Best I could expect from 2D graphics, all this dev’s games have the same style.
Sometimes it is hard to figure out what you’re supposed to do, but nothing a bit of spamming the interact button can’t fix.
Lots and lots of dead animals.
Very good game for three dollars.

Artifact Adventure
In a sentence this game is about old-school RPG gameplay. There’s power gaming, story, and lots of replayability. You control 4 schmucks
! or just 1 and a wad of dirty slaver cashon a quest to slay the Swamp King and halt the creeping poison from consuming the world. There are many quests and moral dilemmas you will face as you rise to be the heros the world deserves, but history is never silent; are your swords, fists, and guns good enough to remain pure?
I highly recommend this game if you like J/RPGS. That being said, here’s some more details and greivances:

Aesthetics: Nostalgic!
This game’s sound design and appearance, right down to the layout of the battle screen, give it an 8-bit feel, reminiscent of the early Dragon Quest (Dragon Warrior) games. The battle music is particularly good; it will get stuck in your head!
Narrative: Simple and Many
While the game has one overall objective of defeating the Swamp King, there’s no “main” plot line. There are many little side stories. Some of the quests present the player with moral choices; a couple of these really made me stop and think.

Beer Bar
This game is so boring because there are no gameplay changes and no gameplay at all.
– Real player with 1.0 hrs in game
One of the most mundane games I have ever played, you click on the beer keg, you click on a customer, rinse and repeat. Sometimes the customer will pass out if you give them too much beer, sometimes the cat will get in your way and fuck up the pathfinding. Sometimes you click on the keg and don’t get beer, and sometimes you click on a customer and don’t give them their beer. It’s glitchy, boring, and tedious to 100%.

Einlanzer
A lot of the time displayed on record is having the game open in the background or waiting for npcs to move out of my fricking way.
Still, it took me almost 80 hrs to finish the game on hard difficulty and I still have something left to do, if I can muster the energy that is. Which brings me to my main point. This is a barely positive review. I couldn’t bring myself to give it a negative one after thoroughly enjoying the gameplay for many hours, but oh boy did this game seriously outstay it’s welcome.

When this game talks about how it is inspired by classic JRPGs, it really shows in how both the game is written and stylized. And, overall, I really enjoyed it as a whole but an informative review has to be informative:
The Plot:
As of now (I’m at about the midgame slightly above lvl 30), the plot of the game is easily its weakest point. It might turn you off and while it seems to be building up to something quite interesting all in all with those races being banished from each other to their specific realms between gods but so far, the plot is about an evil king and his generals who are turning evil pillaging, stealing and its your job to try and stop them.

Story: Heaven & Hell (Complete Edition)
I got this in a bundle, tbh, and decided to play it. As of the date of this review, there is nothing here. Seeing the store page, I now see that it specifically states that there is no current choice to make. This is still early access, and incomplete, but it is interesting. The english tralslation is hilariously laughable, tho! I mean, seriously! “Am I died?” and other such gems make me fondly remember “all your bases are belong to us!” Not much to see here, at all, and the translation into english is subpar, but the mistranslation is at least understandable easily. What IS here, however, other than the translation, is flawless. The movements of the character are good, the script is interesting, as far as it goes, and looks very polished. No controls AT ALL, you don’t control ANYTHING. My only wishes are that there was an auto-continue for the dialogue, and that it was finished.

This game is pretty shit. It’s more like a visual novel made in RPG Maker. There are to many grammar mistakes and the “story” ends really fast without any notice. The only thing you can do in this game is walk throug an unending maze where the game ends without notice.

Romancing Monarchy
A good little game. Not so easy to play, because it needs some tactics about classes.
Bosses are strong enough to give a challenge.
After 5 hours spent, I’m far away from the end. Thank for this game. It is cheap, so i had no regrets to buy it. Honestly, I had never think that a little game like this gave me sensation that i search when i play a game. I’m not asking for more.
(if i wrote mistakes, sorry, english is not my first language)

Loved it! Pretty good game! No need to wait for a sale at this price! It is under $3.50, so you have to remember you didn’t pay $50 for it, but it’s pretty awesome, I loved it!

Great Game and a Special Gem of 2018
I will update this review quite often, and the game did have some rough patches to get through, I am glad to see this game on steam.
Atmosphere: Feels like Earthbound, Final Fantasy, and maybe Chrono Trigger, The RPG elements is well thought out and for the team’s first game did not turn out so bad after all.
Graphics: 2D, nice touch and the feel fo the design choices fit comforatble well. Very good sense of Nostalgia back in the day when playing old school games. decent animations, could use some more visual power.

Rogue Port - Red Nightmare
My playtime: 14:11:46 (based on in-game clock, 10/11 achievement)
Grindy Achievement(s): No.
Optional Achievement(s): Yes (10 achievements).
Difficult Achievement(s): No.
Intro
Rogue Port - Red Nightmare is a turn-based RPG Maker game with exploration as its focus. You’ll travel through the areas, recruit party members, and defeat any monsters that come your way. It also has day-based events that will trigger based on how long you play the game. Sounds interesting enough? I’ll cover them more in the review.
– Real player with 30.4 hrs in game
Rogue Port - Red Nightmare is a 16-bit ARPG where you’re going to help reunite your missing friends and save your family from wild animals, mutants, inanimate objects, aliens and the undead!
This is a RPG-Maker game so the character is easy to control using five keys and mouse.
Graphics are colour full, characters changes are well defined and their aspect changes depending on what kind of equipment they wear. The game has also lighting effects, and light changes depending on location and time. So in general there is some sort of attention for details.

Loser Reborn
What?!
-
There isn’t enough variety of class options. There is Knight/Samurai, Wizard/Wu-jen & Rogue/Ninja to bring to a total of six. Problem is there is no differentiation between, say, a Knight and a Samurai. Only the starter skill is different. And the usual normal class traits don’t really apply here–a Warrior/Samurai in Loser Reborn is a “supporting class” and Rogue/Ninja are more of a “attacking class”.
-
Throw-away plot with typical plot-holes of anime.
-
Equipment Balance Issues: MC can be K’O in one hit. To explain: equipment can be either conducive or combustible–meaning you have to be very careful how much “weakness” stacking you are doing. Combat is about memorization; for example: one class is more inclined to use fire-tribute skills than physical attacks or a foe is more resilient to physical damage but more acceptable to magical damage.

I can tell that the developer of this game put in so much love and effort into this game.
This short, yet extremely difficult rpg game is basically inspired by the isekai trope of magically teleporting the player into a fantasy world on the brink of annihilation. There are basically three classes: Knight, Mage, and Rogue. The Knight specializes in tanking for his team mates, the Mage uses spells, and the Rogue is fast and focuses on debuffs. The goal of your mission is to defeat the Dark Lord who is threatening to destroy the entire kingdom or world thing. You are assisted by your harem party of brave heroes to defeat him.
