Gladiator Guild Manager: Prologue
I hope developers read russian comments, some of our community made some good ideas to realize.
So i have some too.
To start with some classes need better balance,
best classes is ORC (axe-man), ARCHER, HEALER and maybe DWARF (gun man)
and worst classes is FROST MAGE, NECROMANCER, BUFF MAGE and SWORDS MAN
ORC is really OP he got a lot of dmg and stun
SWORDS MAN got weak dmg and low resistance (block), ORC tanking better than tank class lol
HEALER got heal and shield, with ORC its gg ez
ARCHER just good dmg dealer, but she has some problem stayin close combat, she is way faster than all other chars but when they come close to her she cant hit n run any more and she startin close combat thats strange

I downloaded this on a whim because it was free, and was thoroughly impressed.
GGP:M is essentially a demo for their full game. It’s delightfully polished, and has a wonderful balance between fun and challenge. You can easily walk through the game on easy, normal will slow you down a bit. Trying for the “hard mode + permadeath” achievement definitely takes familiarity with various units' strengths and weaknesses.
Like other auto-combat games, you balance resource spend (gold for units and items, other misc. resources for buildings) and select a team for each particular fight. An underleveled team, properly constructed, can defeat considerably stronger opponents. A blindspot to your units' weaknesses will definitely leave you with holes in your roster. There is some strategy regarding unit placement, but it’s mostly common sense, i.e. tanks up front and ranged softies in the back. I do like that for each stage in an arena, there are 3 different options to choose from, each with a different mix of enemy units and number cap for units you can place. I will say that sometimes these are a bit out of whack, and a green fight (easy) can be more difficult than the purple (hard) depending on enemy team composition.

Garbage: Hobo Prophecy
Can’t recommend the game, based on the demo…
You start out with RIDICULOUSLY little resources, and then you’re supposed to survive and scrounge together a living by traveling to different areas/zones to collect more resources. The problem is that my hobo died of cold before I could get warmth (since your hunger/warmth/hygiene/energy is constantly draining from the start of the game). This makes the game a constant juggle of your hobo(s)’s resources and your hobo camp is raided by other hobos every couple of minutes. I think that the game could be playable, if there were more resources to be gotten or if there was a reliable way to generate resources, but currently there isn’t. Now, that would make the game playable, but it still wouldn’t be enjoyable imo. Quite a lot of stuff needs to be done before this game becomes enjoyable, nevermind playable. So in its current state, I can’t recommend the game, but I’ll try the full version of the game down the line and see if that is at least good enough to be recommended.

I’ve had a chance to test this game on my friends account and I can to say one thing for a fact - this game is difficult.
One thing is watching how someone plays it, but the real deal is playing it. Very soon you realise it shares some similarities with heroes of might and magic 3, where few silly decisions can cost your life in future.
The game keeps punishing you for every mistake you do, nor training too much, neither trying to quickly go through the quests will do the trick. I love the way this game tingles your anxiety when the winter comes and you realise that your main issue is not the food anymore. Stacking up supplies might help you pass through the winter which reminded me a great strategy game - Northgard.

Idle Monkeylogy
This game is based on the Infinite Monkey Theorem, which states that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type any given text. This explains the main function of the game in which you get gold for trying to type words, the more letters you get correct the more gold you receive.
All the words you’ve correctly typed give you a +1% bonus to gold, these words and the bonus can be checked in Vocabulary. Every so many words give you a permanent bonuses which is done so by going into Edit, however you reset the bonus given in Vocabulary and have to retype the words to get their bonus again.

I genuinely enjoy this game!
For an ‘idle’ game, it has a truly unique concept (based upon the ‘infinite monkey’ theorem, but unique for an idle, or any game, to the best of my knowledge, at least) that makes it fresh and fun!
I especially enjoy that whilst you absolutely can leave the game idle and make progress, you also have the option to play the game actively, and it’s fun!
Unfortunately, I’ve not been able to ‘make a dictionary’ under the edit tab. Each time I try, it simply resets my progress without allowing me to create my own words list.

Incremental Cubes
At this time I feel like you should probably not get this game.
Quick notes:
-
The game is free, but you should be warned that the game is still buggy and the balance is out of whack.
-
Also not very obvious in the video or description is that while the game is free, there is an in-game store where you can purchase stuff like temporary speed boosts, extra slots, and permanent upgrades to the game speed. You aren’t explicitly forced to buy anything and there is a daily bonus that can give you a bit of the in-game currency, but it’s random and even with the best luck (always getting the 3% chance reward) it would take 10 days to get anything really worthwhile.

Most recent update destroyed the game. In discord the Developer said;
“[v 1.0.7 “Hot Fix”]
Offline bonuses and helper updates
Adjusted to reset the original maximum value on prestige.”
These “helper updates” have caused people to no longer progress in the game at a reasonable rate. Game is now in a dire need of rebalancing. game is currently UNPLAYABLE as of November 22nd 2021. I will not be playing anymore. I will consider my $10 that I paid for the “starter pack” a “cost” of trying out this game. I do NOT recommend to anyone who likes Idle or Incremental games.

So close, yet so far. As it is, it should be a free demo game, don’t pay for this, BUT keep an eye out for it, if they can flesh it out better like Pyramida for example, it might be worth getting.
Read some other reviews, and I’ll add my own two cents:
The game isn’t a game, yet, its a broken sandbox of awesome tools.
Some Glaring errors: There is almost nothing you can do with the early game rats, slimes and cherry bombs,
cherry bombs appear to do nothing, except distract the heroes, to maybe give other monsters a little time to get to the fight, except they don’t have a good enough AI to do that.. would have been a perfect ‘alarm’ monster, to trigger the rest to come fight.

I love Sokpop. I want to like this game so much. It has all the right pieces, but they’re not assembled in the right way. With a some adjustments, it can absolutely get there.
First off, please make building tiles an automatic process, not ones that you have your minions do for you (or make it MUCH faster). It bogs down the “design your dungeon” aspect of the game quite a lot. Especially considering you have to put down wood tiles first, before you can put down brick, which prevents it from burning when lava randomly spits up.

EvolveLabOnline
Evolve Lab is an online multiplayer game in which you try to descend as deep as possible into the depths of an unknown planet.
In each stage you will fight against creatures that were created by other players and if you win you can improve the programming of your creature until you are the first player to reach a new record depth!
Whenever a creature loses, the creature stays at the current depth and becomes an opponent for the next players.
So over time the waters of this planet will be filled with all kinds of different creatures and it will get harder and harder to be the first player to reach a new depth.

Chess Kingdom
This is a casual game where players wear helmets and become generals, leading their soldiers to fight with the enemy. Players take turns to switch control sides and can only move one square diagonally forward. When the chess piece moves, and there is an enemy in front of it but there is no chess piece further away, the enemy chess piece can be captured and crossed. If you encounter an enemy piece that can be passed after eating, you can skip and eat the enemy piece continuously, that is, eat continuously. If there is a chance to eat continuously, you must eat continuously. When a chess piece enters the deepest part of the enemy’s camp, it will evolve into a king. The king can move one square diagonally behind, and the number of kings is not limited.
