Red Solstice 2: Survivors
A few things about Red Solstice 2:
-
Red Solstice is one of those games where having a group of people in voice chat with whom you regularly play makes it significantly better.
-
I found the unlock progression-rate to be rather slow, yet far from the worst. If you’ve ever played Vermintide 2, it’s noticeably faster than that, but still a bit of a grind. Though, take this with a grain of salt, as I dislike all time-accumulated or points-accumulated unlock-gating in games that do not have a tycoon-like feedback element to them.

I’ve gotten some play time out of this and enjoyed it for the most part, so I’ll give it a thumbs up, especially for its price tag.
If you’re fine with lots of bugs, some balance issues and weird descriptions with new content releases which are fixed between a week to a month later, then this is a pretty solid game. It’d be an awesome game if it wasn’t constantly tripping over itself with every content release.
Singleplayer is serviceable with bots if you build them and use them right. There are a lot of “wrong” builds which will make playing singleplayer with bots miserable until the “right” builds are discovered. Every game mode can also be played online coop with friends or strangers, which tends to make the experience more interesting.

Lame Defenders
Lame Defenders is a mix of RTS, RPG and Tower (Hero) Defense games featuring real time tactical combat with ability to slow time. Hire many different heroes and assemble your team of up to five of them and beat waves of enemy monsters. Earn gold and experience, hire more heroes, tweak your teams and slay more monsters to dominate the online leaderboards. I hope you will like the game. I am a solo developer from Czech Republic who likes games and everything around gaming for a long time.
Arenas and monsters
The game currently contains 10 arenas with different looks and types of enemies that you have to beat. You will face weak pawns but also elite monsters that will cause you lots of trouble with their powerful skills. You have to read carefully description of enemy skills as there are skills that will wipe your heroes very quickly if not countered correctly.
Heroes
You can assemble a team of maximum 5 heroes of your choosing from over 20 heroes at the time (more heroes will come soon). The heroes might not allways be the coolest and strongest people but hey everyone has right to be a bit lame from time to time. Every hero has 3 unique skills for you to use. There is no mana or other resource, only cooldowns. Pick your team wisely as there are different types of heroes as you know them from other games - there are tankier heroes, healers, damage dealers or supports with buffs and debuffs. You can also customize playstyle of every hero by adding attribute points (attack, defense, agility) as you earn experience and levels.
Battle
In every arena there are different monsters that will spawn periodicaly in waves. New waves will introduce new monsters and every wave will make all monsters stronger. You have to use your heroes to beat as many waves as you can and delay the monster invasion and give your people time to build defenses. You also have possibility to slow time to give yourself a little break and do some thinking about your strategy.
Controls
You control Lame Defenders just as any other real-time strategy game like Warcraft/Starcraft. You can use mouse and keyboard to control your heroes.
Online leaderboars
Lame Defenders has its own online leaderboards for every battleground in the game. Can you compete for the best score?
Magi
This is an old and fun game that used to be sold by the standalone developer. It’s a shame strategies are not still posted, for it can really be challenging to win. Music soundtrack is pretty iconic… I don’t think the developer supports it anymore but if you’re into magic duels then you’ve probably spent worse money than this.

It’s “TUG-OF-WAR” with fireballs and techno-liches.
Other games come to mind, like
“Aeon Command” (space battles)
“Samurai vs Zombies Defense” (goofy samurai warfare)
and
“Puzzle Chronicles” (the illegitimate child of Tetris and Mortal Kombat)
These game elements are constant:
-
try to hold the line
-
manage your defences
-
beef-up your attacks
-
spam your enemies to death
In Magi, you start by opening magical “channels.” These channels enable your spells and strengthen them. Then, it’s a real-time battle as you queue-up spells for casting. It’s like the building queue in Starcraft or Civ… only it’s your shield spell, or a magic missile, or summoning an imp. As your mage is casting one spell, you have time to set up the next. And the next. You can plan a bit… or panic. Apparently, I’m still fond of panicking.

FULL REVIEW: http://www.lifeisxbox.eu/2020/11/05/review-battle-hunters/

I LOVE RPGs but am terrible at playing them, particularly during combat. I always play on Easy, Casual, or Story mode. When that’s genuinely easier than Normal mode, I love the game. Battle Hunters has an Easy mode that’s anything but easy. I keep running into combats I can’t handle. So until the developers update Easy mode so it really is easy, or add a Wimp mode for lousy players like me, I’m going to stop playing. Otherwise I like the game a lot. Sure, there’s no plot to speak of, and characters are less than one-dimensional. But there’s a lot going on that I would enjoy if I could handle the combat.

Dragon Throne Battle of Red Cliffs
The game follows a civil war fought in medieval China. The three campaigns allow you to assume the roles of one of three warlords, and your commanders gain experience and acquire new powers and extra health as the story goes on.
Before the carnage is unleashed, though, the familiar rigmarole of setting up an economy awaits. Chop down trees, harvest grain, mine stone, breed the horses.
You must recruit peasants to build a base of operations, then create an army to crush your enemies.
Legend of Mana
This game is my favorite game of all time. It has so much depth. Everything about it is great. Its hard for me to be objective here so I’ll try to break out what I love about it in order of importance.
1. The combat. The combat has a lot of variety to it with multiple weapons, plunge attacks, magic spells, golem behaviors, monster pets, and synch effects. Its kinda like a fighting game in that you can combine skills together to chain some pretty awesome combos. You can play local co op too and beat the crap out of the enemies with your friends.

The moment I saw the announcement of Legend of Mana Remaster appear both on Steam and Nintendo Direct a few months back, I was overcome with nostalgia and anticipation. This game was a favorite and staple of m middle school days and I remember fondly the times I played with my brother completing dungeons and quests, bouting out in the arena with our characters, and just explore the world of Fa’diel and be mystified by its surroundings and diverse characters.
Now, as an adult, I have revisited my little treehouse and see through it with a newer perspective and compared it with what I can remember in my childhood.
