- Genre - A 2D roguelike-like such as FTL and Convoy, this time in a zombie postapocalypse. It manages to capture the desperation of such event through excellent writing and a well balanced challenge, as players need to guide their survivors on a journey in a search for a safe haven while trying to prevent them from starving to death, becoming infected or getting killed by either zombies or humans.

March of the Living
is an isometric 2d game similar in presentation to Death Road to Canada (although much slower in pace) and other such pixelated roguelikes. I’d had it sitting in my library for a while and decided to play it on a whim. It was decent. I wouldn’t call it great, although I imagine it WOULD be great as a mobile title. No idea if that statement is actually true or not, but the game is well suited to that format. But…it was also well suited to this one.
Story
The story is more or less the same ultimate goal of getting to the city of Wellston on the coast and on a ship getting ready to set sail with whatever survivors were able to get to the safe zone at the docks. The specifics of the story vary based on which character you play, but all in all, those little snippets of story are more like splashes of color than any sort of painting. Still, it helps to keep the game fresh.

LOCIS
I’m a beta tester and I played the game since the first releases.
LOCIS is like a purgatory, a world where the good and the evil are one thing.
Player will catapulted in LOCIS without much explanations and suddenly it will be like being in a dream, or perhaps it would be more accurate to say like being in a nightmare.
Time is an enemy, but it won’t be the only one. Player will be faced with numerous dangers and monstrous entities, so it will not be easy to survive. I found a lot of variety, and even as a veteran, when you’re sure you’re ready for anything, it doesn’t take much to find yourself dying or lifeless.

This game was very interesting to play. This game it’s not like the majority of indie horror games that you can find here in the Steam store, Indie horror games are not very appreciated, due to the way they are made, without any care and attention to detail, realized with Graphic engines that use pre-packaged assets.
Why you should try it:
LOCIS is a very well thought-out game, despite the weight of the game files, it’s a very rich in content, despite being still early acces. The graphics is retro style and reminiscent of the old ps1 titles like Silent Hill, even the soundtrack it’s very well done and effective, very apt with the game, it gives that sort of restlessness and sense of mistery to the player. The game is divided into different areas, generated randomly, the game develops horizontally, you have to go through long and infinite corridors in whick there are many doors on the sides, locked and that can be opened, they contain interacting objects and furniture inside them. Inside them there are notes that are left by travelers of LOCIS, many are notes of mad peoples that have only meaningless or frustrating phrases, while other notes are very useful to understand what are the dangers of the area. In the rooms you can also find two types of keys and blue flames.

Fun game, quite replayable and definitely scary at points. The setting is pretty interesting and you can definitely see there’s a lot of love put into it. I recommend!

Pretty cool little roguelike horror game.
The untold lore is interesting and it’s pretty tense late game.
Right now trying to get the second ending and it’s not easy I like it.

The Consuming Shadow
Shoggoth’s Scenic Driving Tour of England
Reviewer’s Note: Over 50 Hours with Humble Bundle Copy
“It’s late. At least, I think it’s late. Keeping track of time isn’t a priority - wherever I am now… like a purple nimbus cloud crackling with electricity. What’s important is that I’ve saved the world, and no one will be any the wiser.
…
“Not that I did this for recognition, no! I’m not vainglorious or anything. This was all honestly just a happy byproduct of my pursuit of arcane knowledge, of the Eldritch Truth. I was laughed out of the academy, and the very men and women who found my research so amusing now owe me their insignificant lives. If they had seen what I’ve seen, fought what I’ve fought, learned what I’ve learned, they’d still be laughing - restrained in padded cells, or worse.

I’ve already put quite a bit of time into the Humble Store version of this game and I have just recently claimed my Steam Key; so I am checking out all the new features, but I will bring you up to speed on what I already know about this game.
The Consuming Shadow is a roguelike RPG much in the vein of FTL, with the overall goal of the game being stopping a Cthulhu-esque entity (simply called ‘the Ancient’) from invading our world. This is done in both of the primary ‘game modes’ The Consuming Shadow features. The first is the overworld map, where you pick a town on your GPS and drive there via your very slow car to look for clues. Various ‘text-only’ events can happen both here and in the towns, where you will have to make a choice. These choices like FTL, can give you bonuses to your cash or equipment, or screw you over royally. There are often pieces of equipment you can use to sway these events in your favor, much like FTL.

The game’s pretty great and gets really fun with its art/style. The modding community’s pretty alright as well! I had almost gotten to most of the in-game achievements but recently had to restart due to replacing a hard drive, still going to play through it again! Love this game.
P.S. OH BABY YEAH WE HEARD FROM THE DEV!

Living the Nightmare
no horror, not enough blood, not disgusting at all.
it is something like small version of turnbased crimson land.
if you are not into modern graphics and stuff and you are in search for some 30 minutes single session of killing monsters roguelite - it is for you.
advice: turn off ingame music and play some black/grind/funeral of your own collection.
EDIT: vote for game to be more disgusting! (and more stuff).
EDIT: ok, it is not a great-great-great game, also it has frustrating/gamebreaking bugs. but it is sure playable and i just want to support devs a little with positive review. still recommend, yeah!!!

Afar as game that try to somehow fit in the rouge like genre this is one of the more interesting. The tutorial level goes by fast and unfortunately you can’t go back ( at least I don’t know how. ) I like the hex format and overall style of the game , The combat is fitting for what they are trying to do. The only thing that really irritates me is the height thing. Its a pretty addicting little game. I am sure there are those who have ignited all of the shrines but that is not me as of yet. Its fairly cheap price wise so if you like rouge type games and horror definitely pick this up,

FRONTRUNNERS
A new cult spreads viciously, far and wide through social media platforms, rituals are performed to summon Entities to your dimension, they call themselves the Children Of Nyx. a shady private military known as FRONTRUNNERS clear areas of the entities and collect important intel on the cult to stop the spread and prevent further damage, you are a FRONTRUNNER.
Weapon Customization / Roguelite Elements
Purchase weapons, upgrade them with sights, foregrips and suppressors, and enter several maps to complete both primary and secondary objectives, completing objectives garners you more and more money, but dying will cause the loss of your guns and items.
Diverse And Special Enemy Types
During your flight, you will discover different forms of enemies, with specialties, but none compare to the boss enemies, who will stalk from the shadows, and are the most deadly you will find, stay observant, cover each other’s backs, or die together.
Customization That Matters
What you carry on you matters, how many magazines do you want to bring, how many grenades/flashes do you want to bring, what medical equipment to bring, etc. There are many decisions to be made, everything affects your weight, thus affecting your sprinting speed, and turning speed. However better packs and training your body can increase your carrying capacity. Also, you can share gear with your friends, so one person can carry medical supplies etc.
Medical System
Your body can only take so many hits, once you go down, you’re not out of the fight, you will be downed until healed by a teammate, or on the hardcore mode you’re able to bleed out. If you’re hit, there is a chance you will start bleeding, bleeding will lower you to 20hp, where you are one hit. However there are ways to still be in the fight better, First Aid Kits allow you to either heal yourself while downed or pick your friends up quicker. Bandages allow you to heal a small amount of HP and stop bleeding out. Medical Kits allow you to heal large amounts of HP and become fully healed.
CO-OP
Team up with friends through Steam invites to complete your contracts, no splitting money, everyone gets the full amount, having a team will allow you to cooperatively move through the maps, if you cooperate, you will have a much better chance of survival. Playing with a squad will also allow you to revive each other, meaning you can avoid losing your weapons.
Ergastulum: Dungeon Nightmares III
A very terrorfull game. Never imagined the dungeon nightmares games would get even more terrifying! I’m currently in the chamber of the damned… so intense!!! So far I’ve been cornered by bloody marry and the sniffing lady (don’t know her name yet, sorry lol), and found by the sniffing lady. I was just wandering around the dungeon and all of a sudden I heard this sniffing sound in my right ear. Turned to look and there she was! Was both kinda humorous and terrifying. Definitely DON’T recommend this game to the faint of heart. This dungeon I’m currently in is so intense I might not be able to finish it! lol Love the new abilities though. The ability to look around corners is great and the ability to hide when able is awesome! Thanks for making this game and can’t wait to see where else it may go. Keep it up 3

ERGASTULUM: DUNGEON NIGHTMARES III, awaken to a graveyard death world where only despair and damnation absolute saturate the living darkness. A place of inverted sanity reaching out disfigured and distorted into the jugular where madness awaits floating in time and space in eternal corners cursed, everywhere and nowhere taking hold of your existence in a vertigo vortex of never ending impossibility.
In the dark bowels beyond man’s dominion where no one can ever reach you wander you shall in uncontrollable trembling with flickering candle in hand as sinister shadows flicker and speed supernatural across walls ancient with unearthly inhuman screams screeching in blood thirsty soul ravaging hunger in the distance so disturbingly near.
