Evertried
I’m not actually the biggest fan of Roguelike games, but Evertried convinced me not only by being very pretty, but also really giving this “Just one more try!” feeling a new meaning!
Also the game has relatively little RNG, so 90% of the deaths happening actually are the player’s fault. Something I hate and love at the same time! Being able to either try to go as fast as you can or take your time and think your moves through is a great thing, allowing everyone to learn in their own speed. And the feeling of killing an enemy or clearing a floor that previously gave me troubles for the first time is amazing!

UPDATE : 3 times in a row my “hard mode” run ends after 40 min on some kind of “NullPointerException”. The game is just not tested enough, wait a few months until the game is tested and all bugs are fixed : https://steamcommunity.com/app/1607040/discussions/0/3158706376169597835/
If you like “Into The Breach (ITB)” (best strategy game in 2018), you will like Evertried for sure. Most ITB mechanics are here with a light touch of Roguelite. The additional mechanics are not really useful (at least in normal mode), but they don’t prevent you to play, so it’s all good.

“The last thing you hear before being exploded by an angry monkey? Ba-BOOM”
Some of you have never played Concept Software’s Alien which was released for the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, and Amstrad CPC in 1984. For the most part, I suspect most of you have not played Concept Software’s Alien directly because it was released for the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, and Amstrad CPC in 1984. But! Despite its near 40-year lifespan and the now-archaic hardware it calls home, I might offer the argument that you’ve been missing out. In fact, screw it, I will! It’s frankly amazing what that game manages to do with so little, and how hard it works on being an authentic companion piece to the seminal film it shares its name with.

Apparently this is a remake from a really old C64/spectrum game, and they made a great job on the graphics and music.
Nothing is explained but once you get the gist of it, it’s about moving from room to room and switching characters to do actions and guess where the alien is, pretty cerebral, slow and frankly archaic. This was acceptable in the very early 80s, on the first 8 bit computers, but difficult to recomend today unless you’re really hardcore nostalgic.

The Cryptologist Room
Terrible controls, clunky movement, unclear objective ( objective says enter answer in the book, but what are we answering?) I spent 3 hours in first room and hours of research on LOTR and cannot figure out what the question is much less an answer. I like puzzle games and cryptograms but the first puzzle has no clear direction. not fun.

I tried the first puzzle and it racked my brain! An excellent switch from the horror games I’ve been playing. The graphics are excellent and the puzzles are really challenging!
The only downfall I see is that there are many spelling errors (i.e. asnwer, rigns). It’s a small thing, but it’s noticeable when you have to analyze practically everything in order to progress. Otherwise, highly recommend so far!

Dungeons of Voidria
Dream Quest, Desktop Dungeons, Slay the Spire - if you like those you’ll probably enjoy this game! I’m loving it so far.
As of this review there’s plenty of bugs but nothing that ruined the game. If that bothers you perhaps wait a bit.

Even in EA, it’s already fun. The mechanics of the skills and spells are an interesting mashup. I’m really looking forward to seeing where this game goes and am happy to support now.

The Crafter’s Defense
Fun game. I am loving to book tie ins. I am enjoying playing the game.

Fun little game. i like how it is based off the book. would like more levels and more control over the blocks or a way to generate more res. and more trap options. perhaps target settings on the creatures. as i said a good little game took me about 5 hours to clear the story and start to clear the hardmode.

The falling tower
This is RPG Maker games where “Autobattler” tag applies to no typical RPG Maker fights.
Instead you walk on tile with enemy and battle is decided - how much HP you lose, how much gold you gain and XP.
However English translation has a lot of typos and I only seen little of this game, because apparently I have no way of progressing.
Either paths are blocked by lack of keys or instantly killing you monsters…
Starting the game is very annoying, because it requires you to insert name every time (and you have to select letters on-screen rather just typing on keyboard… ugh…) and there are plenty of silly ways to get gameover since the start of gameplay.

Diggles: The Myth of Fenris
Very surprised Diggles/Wiggles has appeared on Steam, but VERY happy it did!
This is an unique game; nothing really compares to it then (20 years ago), and since then no game has been published (to my knowledge) that comes even close to it. So i almost immediatly bought it (again).
Didnt play Wiggles for years as the original sadly wasnt compatible with ‘newer’ Windows-version. (Could play the official Demo a bit longer though.)
Although graphics is a bit outdated and gameplay is quite slow, the game concept is so good, it was and still is the best game i ever played.

WTF!?! Who’s feet do I have to kiss for finally bringing this game to Steam!! If you ever played and enjoyed, Oxygen not Included, and the new early access game, Hammerington, then you will like this game as well. I even purchased those aforementioned games in the hopes to fill the hole this game left in me decades ago. While a bit dated on graphics (released in 2002), the game still has its same charm and is still very playable. By the end of the game, your dwarves will be riding around on hover boards, and brandishing light sabers. How can you go wrong with that? Thank you
