Garden Tale
Entertaining enough. Very short. Fun to pull off a full room clear or near full room clear with bonion combo. Still very short. :P
Recommend but for me on sale is the way to go. I am accustomed to more hours for my money though I am unsure I would thumbs up it had it been substantially longer.

I had high hopes for this game as a fan of turn-based strategy, but those hopes were quickly dashed. The only thing Garden Tale has going for it is the artwork, though some suspect character designs (Meryl) manage to tarnish even that.
Garden Tale prides itself on a trap system revolving around Bonions, exploding vegetables that can harm both enemies and allies. The videos and images show large-scale chain reactions that seem exciting and fun, similar to games like Disgaea or La Pucelle. The videos, however, lie about these possibilities in a shameful way, including fabricating combos for show on maps that, in practice, aren’t possible to pull off. Indeed, one segment of the advert video shows a combo on one of the first few maps you play on, with a starting point that would require a long-ranged attack. The problem? There aren’t any long-ranged attacks, particularly not at that point in the very beginning of the game.

Dragon Creek
Before I get into this review, I will definitely state that this game is honestly not for everyone. In fact, the game is very niche- which is not a criticism, but it is something to mind when contemplating purchasing this game.
The game is very simple, but its simplicity is the beauty of it. You can generate a dragon at the shrine, train it up, battle it, and rank it up.
If someone is looking for a farm simulator with dragon training, this is not that game. The farm can be upgraded, but all upgrades pertain to improving your dragon’s situation. The only thing remotely akin to farming is purchasing the plot upgrades- which you cannot place yourself- so you can grow your own food so you do not need to buy food for your dragon as often from the food stand.

Wow, Dragon Creek. Where to begin…
It’s so adorable! It’s a simple, cute game about raising your own dragon. You have 4 different species that you can get, them being the European Dragon, the Eastern (Lung) Dragon, the Cat-Lung, and the Wyvern. There will be more species on the way too, so keep an eye out. The dragons can be generated through a randomizer or you can put “codes” in to create your own. (Hint: Try messing around with specific dragon names…) You feed, pet, and wash your dragon in this game.

Draft — before the start of battle, opponents take turns choosing the types of units in each of the available classes. Draft is designed in such a way that opponents will have completely different army composition, but with repeating unit classes (i.e. if one opponent gets artillery / defenders / infantry etc. the other opponent will get artillery / defenders / infantry as well, but different units).
-
Endless — you cannot win in this mode, but you can become a real hero. Your army is attacked by the hordes of undead. Undead have no morale. Therefore, the only thing you can do is stand your ground as long as your combat prowess will allow. When your army’s morale finally drops to 0, you will lose. The aim of this mode is to last longer than anyone else.

Custom is a game mode where you determine available classes and types of units, the level of army morale at the start of the game, time limit for a turn, etc.

Each class consists of various units to choose from. Learn how they work together, and become the greatest general there is.

It is a great game to spend time, it is easy to learn and hard to master. It really worth the price.

Together in Battle
Together in Battle is a strategy RPG and team management roguelite with vibrant procedurally generated characters and emergent relationship-building. Uncover a sinister conspiracy; fight deep turn-based tactical battles; deal with random events; watch your characters grow together.
Premise
You’ve arrived in the island kingdom of Dese with a secret mission to enter the gladiatorial games and find loyal fighters. Hunted by an imperial praetor, you must maintain a low profile even as you find yourself drawn into intrigues that will decide the fate of Dese itself.
Recruit and manage charming characters. Stay stocked on food, make payroll, and keep your characters practicing. But beware: they have feelings! Let their friends to fall in battle, and they may become depressed. Let morale fall too low, and you’ll risk resentment and desertion. Keep them happy, however, and they will grow close to one another, form fond memories, give nicknames–even share their special combat skills! With skill and patience, you will emerge victorious…together in battle.
An evolution of the lauded Telepath Tactics combat engine
With a deterministic core that never wastes your time, combat in Together in Battle nonetheless features dizzying tactical depth:
-
Backstabbing: strike from behind to avoid counterattacks and score a huge damage bonus!
-
Elevation: claim the high ground to boost your effectiveness and hinder the enemy’s!
-
Knockbacks galore: shove and throw enemies into water, lava, and chasms; off of cliffs; or into each other!
-
Destructible environments: bust down doors, blow up walls, hack through bushes, chop through barricades! If you can see it, you can smash it.
-
Create new structures on the battlefield: build your own bridges and barricades; freeze water to form ice bridges; set traps for enemies to wander into; place explosives to detonate at an opportune moment.
-
Defensive terrain: take up position in tall grass to gain a defense boost–or hack it down to deny that same advantage to the enemy.
-
Extreme turn flexibility: move a character, move a second character, then return to finish the first character’s turn. An unlimited undo stack lets you redo it all if you don’t like where everyone ended up!
-
Clever AI: face enemies that use the terrain to their advantage, take advantage of weak positioning, and compete with you for dropped items.
Tons of content!
You won’t see everything Together in Battle has to offer in a single playthrough–every game offers a new experience. TiB includes:
-
6 playable species
-
24 base classes with branching promotions for a total of 72 distinct character classes
-
multi-classing
-
more than 150 skills
-
dozens of random events and side quests
-
hundreds of thousands of possible procedurally generated weapons and pieces of armor, including unique and personal weapons
Deep procedurally generated characters
Every character you recruit has distinct traits, personal histories, beliefs, hobbies, and secrets. You’ll never get the same character twice.
These differences matter: a baker will use food to produce cookies and cakes you can eat or sell; a jokester will do funny impressions to boost morale; a hunter will boost your stocks with wild game; a blacksmith will repair the group’s weapons. Dancers are nimble; sailors are good swimmers. Some characters are prone to depression; some, to self-doubt. Some self-soothe with long walks or prayer; others undertake long-term projects like growing vegetables, crafting dolls, or writing novels. Learn what makes each character tick as they grow and form powerful bonds of friendship!

Legend of Homebody
Game is addictive. Simple interface, but the game itself is challenging on some modes (Shen has a mental breakdown every time. I’ve gotten close to beating it, maybe another 20 hours…) If you enjoy having to actually pay attention to what you are doing and work for a win then this is a great game. I wish there were more characters, because I can honestly see myself playing this game on and off for years.

The game is more challenging than any other life sims I have played. Each character have their own story and 2 years of game play. The hardest to play was the female. Always died cause of pressure.
Could have options when interacting with the others and different scenarios…

Army of Tentacles: (Not) A Cthulhu Dating Sim
EDIT June 20, 2016: The New Game+ DLC is here!
The DLC improves the game a fair bit in my opinion. I am a sucker for dating sims, as my library can attest. This one keeps it interesting by not letting you date everyone at once, and having the characters actually mention something about it. Unfortunately, no one appears to be polyamorous, but there’s definitely more than just heterosexuality, which I know a lot of people look for in a game. The quests here are still just as ridiculous, but I grew even more attached to characters, especially ones I didn’t know you could recruit in the base game! It’s zany, keeps the humour, and lets the player in on the inner thoughts of various characters. Also university is always a fun setting to play a game in.
