The Mystery of Caketropolis
The Mystery of Caketropolis is a neat game with a bit of an old-skool RPG feel. Playing as Rimentus, you follow the young dragon’s adventures as he gets to the bottom of a city-wide conspiracy. However, things aren’t as simple as they seem, and our hero will have his worldview challenged as he digs deeper into the titular mystery.
I like the writing for the game. The characters all have a very distinct personality and enough unique quirks to make them all memorable. The plot progression is also very well done, I never feel like the story gets rushed or lags behind with pacing.
! The twist on the alternate ending deserves its own special mention. Overall, an excellent storytelling experience.

A really nice game, especially if you like dragons. While the story isn’t groundbreaking, it’s still fun to figure out the mystery and try to figure out what actually happened along with the characters. It features both bad and good endings, both leading to interesting conclusions. There are also other smaller side-quests you can do while working towards the main quest.
There are a couple of things I feel needed a bit more work, such as different sprites having different levels of quality (some things are rather blurry while others are rather pixelated), the way to get the good ending feeling slightly tacked on, in some cases where you can and can’t go isn’t exactly obvious, and menus can feel slightly clunky at times. Most of these problems though are rather minor, though.

The Demon Rush: Legends Corrupt
The Demon Rush: Legends Corrupt is an action RPG with fast-paced combat requiring use of strong offensive and defensive mechanics across multiple modes (Story Mode, Endless Dungeon, Onslaught, Conquest, Heist). Fight your enemies up close, use buffs/debuffs/status ailments to gain an advantage or place effects like tornados, fire, water, death forests, black holes and more onto the battlefield.
The Mittu star system enjoyed a long period of prosperity, and was watched over by three powerful beings who shared their unique skillsets and technologies across three worlds for millenia. From out of nowhere, a Demon Army of immense power appeared suddenly and began invading these planets, slaughtering countless innocents and causing fear and paranoia in the godlike rulers of each world. On the planet of Altair, the first spacecraft in Mittu’s history has been constructed, with the hopes that its crew can find something in the Mittu star system to end the war against the Demon Army.

“So, what exactly is this VN?” you ask, watching the trailer and being absolutely confused on if you should use your ten dollars. Why you could get yourself some fast food with that. Maybe even fill a little bit of your car? Maybe to buy that one thing that’s on sale at your local grocery store?
Well, good sir or madam, what if I told you this VN purposely made the trailer and summary extremely vague? What if I told you I agree that the trailer doesn’t look all that compelling? I mean really, a dating game with dragons with visuals that contrast with each other through multiple artists? Seems like the sort of thing you would see on amateur furry Patreon sites.

The Tenth Line
A fantastic turn-based RPG experience that came out of nowhere. The game hooked me with its charm and then kept me with its surprisingly well-written dialog and character development. Every character has a clear reason to exist and be with the party throughout the story. There are many twists big and small that kept me glued to this game. I had trouble sleeping for a couple of nights over the course of my playthrough because of my desire to see how the story unfolded.
Like many have mentioned, the combat system has a steep learning curve. I have never played a turn-based RPG that requires such a great of amount of attention, pacing, and strategy as this one. The game starts out easy enough but ramps up the difficulty real quick, to the point where you may have to consult the manual and/or the disccusion forums to figure out how to play better. If you like your games to be challenging, you will probably love this, but if you don’t have enough patience to fail a few times before things click, this might not be for you. I spent four hours on a main story boss (I’m sure everyone who’s played this knows exactly who I’m talking about), but I had a real blast figuring out how to win (It’s worth noting that this boss had been toned down since I played). There is a story-only option that supposedly removes encounters on the way to bosses and makes bosses simpler. I think the story and writing alone makes this game easily worth it, so this is likely a good option for those who get frustrated spending so much time figuring out how to beat a game (though personally I think removing the hardship of the encounters makes the experience less epic).

Before I go further, I’d never heard of this game before seeing it on a friend’s stream and I have to say, it’s one of the best games i’ve played in a while.
Now, to go in depth and please note this is based on playing full on, not the Light mode…
This game is one of those few games that, when you complete the Story, you can’t help but continue to play more and try to do everything, even with this I find myself playing the story again and again, I enjoy the gameplay and story.
The game’s battle mechanics are unusual, but they actually work quite well imo, also having to consider your SP and which attacks are best for the battle at hand adds to the fun, through defending can be hit & miss depending on certain factors, such as your Training, Power Flow build and Whether or not you use a specific Character’s Super Defense. Of course, Replaying does make battles somewhat easier depending, but battles later can still prove somewhat tricky if you’re not careful.

Dragon Spirits
While constantly working on a video game without any rest, a college student who’s about to graduate quietly slipped into slumber several times.
His workmate, as well as his childhood best friend, advised him to take some decent sleep, but he simply wanted to get the game done before graduation to prove himself.
Join the Community (Click on the image below):
However, the mystery is that, in those lucid dreams, he found himself in the game he’s been working on —— a fantasy world of Dragon Spirits.
His memory of the real world fades in and out among these dreams.
He found himself became as his younger self and met his childhood best friend again. They are all junior school students here, learning how to master the power of Dragon Spirits with the help of their teachers and many other classmates.
Déjà vu, he just cannot understand why everything felt so familiar and miraculous.

Adapted from a self-made board game created by one of the developers. She designed it at her very young age. Her teacher laughed and said that it is absolutely worthless and impossible to become a real video game. Many years later, she made this game for celebrating her graduation from college.
-
Catch, Train, Battle! The core of its game mechanic is inspired by the Pokémon series. Rest assured that our unique design will deliver a distinctive experience.
-
Tactical, challenging, and exciting real-time combat system. You need to choose the 4 skills for every Dragon Spirit in your team to create an optimized combination for battles, you must know when would be the best to use them.
-
There are plenty of side quests and challenges to discover and conquer, but be sure to enjoy your colorful school life. You can even reveal the secrets hidden among the history of Dragon Spirits.

The Legend of Eratus: Dragonlord
Play match-3 to unlock parts of a short fantasy story and ‘fight’ dragon bosses. That’s about it.
The music was really nice though.

It’s a real nice candy crush game with a narrated story and dragon theme :3
There is surely much more story-wise than I’ve expected in such a game, so we get 2 small cutscenes, self contained story about a girl and her dragon friend and all is delivered piece by piece every few levels of candy crushing of mixed difficulty.
Hard to say much about the gameplay as if you played any candy crush or “match-3” you already know what this is. I just want to say that’s a real nice feel to have a full single player experience without typical to mobile counterparts ads, locking behind lives telling you how much you can play or steps to make before you auto lose a level and of course having to hold back with power ups because you get so little…

Dragon Audit
If you like light-hearted fantasy, you will likely enjoy this highly humorous tale (or tail?). An auditor is sent to a castle that’s rumored to be inhabited by a dragon … because that castle’s taxes were falling behind.
A few ~ mostly ~ easy puzzles are included in this roleplaying game. No combat.
Much fun to be had!
I bought it during early release, directly from the developer. Helped hunt bugs. He was kind enough to include “Tumblyweeds” in the credits.
So my “hours played” displays vastly fewer hours than I have actually spent playing this game.

I think it would be very easy to harshly judge this game based solely on the trailer and content on the store page. Despite that, it is a thoroughly enjoyable adventure gaming experience. Indeed the trailer doesn’t do the graphics and art style justice which actually looks much better in game (although admittedly still very obviously Unity powered). The puzzles are on the simpler end of the spectrum, although I personally prefer that over absurd moon logic puzzles typical of older adventure games. It is relatively short, and can easily be completed in one ~90 minute sitting. For the price asked I think that is very reasonable.

Dragon’s Wake
This is a fun, cute little platformer that I really enjoyed.
What makes the game unique is you play a newly hatched dragon and can flap your wings to jump, glide and kind of fly. Getting around the levels using your limited flight is really tricky, but has a satisfying feeling once you get used to it. You also start with a bite attack and you gain the ability to breathe fire before long. The level design and scripting is very tight and tells a good story with strong characters you’ll care about, without using any dialog.

Key provided by developer/publisher. This does not effect my review.
Dragon’s Wake is a 2D Adventure Platformer where a fledgling dragon hatches into a world in which the extermination of dragons at the hands of a mysterious black knight is already underway.
Comments
- The most unique thing about this game is the ability to eat almost anything in your path. As you eat certain “special” creatures, you gain power-ups (fire breathing, and ability to fly more) and grow larger (which gives you the ability to stomp and destroy rocks). Also, as you eat enemies, you regain health.

Death To The Dragon Lord
This game has a fabulous fighting system, dialogues are pretty well written but there are some problems in this game: the difficulty is very steep due to the fact that you are only able to save on the world map, and not in villages or a dungeon, on top of that I got stuck in a maze that was difficult to find a way out and eventually gave up.
This game reallly desperately needs a walkthrough. Despite a generic story and standard RPG Maker stock material it’s fighting engine is very well made though and there clearly was put effort in the game. I would only advise getting this one if you don’t mind a tough challenge, it’s not an easy game.
