Sausage Fest
Ngl this game has potential to be a great game if it wasn’t for the lack of players actually playing the game.
To anyone thinking of buying the game to try out i would kind of suggest to wait till more people have actually bought this to get a more enjoyable experience of the game
I do like the fact that they haven’t totally just copied the idea of making a battle royal like most games nowadays by adding in some adult humour and originality because who else has made a game about sausages shooting fluids at each other.

This game is super fun. It’s hilarious and just overall a really good game. I give it a 10/10. The only thing that they could improve on is NOTHING. WE NEED MORE PLAYERS.

Danger Scavenger
Cautiously Recommend–Feels Very Much Unfinished
Stumbled upon this a few days back, wishlisted it and bought it today on a whim really digging the music and look the game has. Sometimes you strike out, sometimes you hit paydirt. This is paydirt, a diamond in the rough that after time can be awesome.
It’s VERY rough around the edges and definitely could use lots more polish but it’s highly addictive and the fun factor is very strong if you can get past the many nuances that hold this game back from being amazing.

I’ve written a fairly neutral preview for this game on Gamer Escape, which you can find here: https://gamerescape.com/2020/06/29/preview-danger-scavenger/ . At that time, the game had just switched from being official release to Early Access to address the user feedback based on the mixed steam reivew score (At Gamer Escape we do not do scored reviews for Early Access games)
Within days, the devs for this game have already gone to work with their stated goal: Make the game more appealing to both the twin-stick shooter fans and the roguelike fans whom both had issues with how these mechanics were combined. They have added “Arcade Mode”, which removes the roguelike permadeath mechanics, but also in this mode, each character starts from a different tower, so you get more of a distinct experience with each character in this mode. While it kind of comes off as just a lowered difficulty setting, it does open the game up to a lot of people who find the punishing nature of the roguelike style more frustrating than fun.

Alien Swarm: Reactive Drop
Reactive Drop
The sequel of Alien Swarm, an top-down cooperative shooter released by Valve back in the days.
History
Alien Swarm originates from an unreal tournament mod back in the days and was acquired and re-released by Valve in 2010. This game combined elements from survival games like shadowgrounds and left for dead. For a free game, it had a good presentation, nice gameplay and good graphics. It only lacked two things: content and community.
The gameplay
Like Alien Swarm, Reactive Drop is a cooperative top down shooter. The player plays with other marines against hordes of aliens, in order to complete different objectives. In the game, there are 4 different classes to play, each one consisting of two characters with different statistics including some class restricted weapons.

Friendly Fire is anything but friendly, medics are flavour and death, death do be part of the game. Try to keep up with your team and defend when necessary, picking a firing line and keeping it will increase everyone’s chances of survival. That said, in general, the game is Chaos.
People can and do play solo, but these are usually awe inspiring ASBI players. For the rest of us, team play is integral and trust is key. Communication in game is vital and facilitated in-game with voice communication, a text chat feature and a radial menu for quick communication emotes. Although after a few rounds, you’ll learn to read other players marine placements and apply your own work around tactics of support. The community is active and full of modders aiming to enhance your bug hunt with custom challenges, HUD’s, skins, sounds and levels. Additionally, there are dedicated servers from all around the globe, providing a place for you to meet new and interesting marines, in your fight against the swarm.

Daedalus - No Escape
Imagine Quake Live and Unreal Tournament having a baby, then imagine it being top-down 2D, that’s when you get Daedalus - No Escape.
This game is, like the announcer often says in-game, wicked sick. It’s an arena shooter played from top-down view, with great AI for single-player and also with multiplayer although I haven’t really played with people yet so I can’t say much about that. I was really enjoying myself playing the single-player challenges which pretty much consisted of beating high scores on maps with a fixed timer, made it to the first place on quite a few of them today!

bought this game some time ago, installed but never got around to playing it yet.
other day i turned it on decideing to begin my crusade into this game, and i must say it was well worth the wait 3
if your a fan of arena shooters like unreal tournament, quake and the various other games of its style this game highly reminds me of them, it may be a top down arena shooter but it still brings back the feelings of playing those all the time 3
to put it simple if you like arena shooters, there is a few game modes.

Gun Bombers
I am addicted to this game. 59 hours in, and I still want more. I got 3, so I could play with my kids, and they destroyed me. So I decided to practice in single player mode, and I am having more fun trying to beat my high scores than I was playing multiplayer. The addicting parts are 1) finding gems or gold, and 2) trying different strategies to last longer.
Admittedly the graphics are not very good, but the gameplay is fantastic and devilishly hard.

This is a fantastic throwback to the original Mine Bombers. Got a copy for myself, my brother and one of my freinds, convinced a few more to get it and had an awesome time playing. I don’t generally write reviews but this game deserves it. I highly anticipate what features come out for it in the future as it is early access.
This gets a huge reccomend from me, get it, grow the community I want to blow of more people.
downsides
You will have to forward ports 55555 in order to host.
it does not get along with certain antivirus programs for some dumb reason.

Mad Devils
I’ve had an awesome time playing Mad Devils so far! The plot is really interesting and I can’t wait to restart in Inferno Mode. My favourite characters are Chester and Harris so far, and the boss fights are brutal. If you’re a fan of Diablo 3 or Dark Souls, this game definitely scratches that itch. Haven’t hit any bugs so far. Just remember you can use your Blood Shards and XP points in the Pause Menu to upgrade your characters, it’s a lifesaver!

This indie developed game has very faded washed out graphics, repetitive dull combat, no mini-map to show where you are going, no way to rotate the camera, and frame rate issues as well. Camera movement is also sluggish and stuttery, most likely due to the crap Unity engine the game runs on. The game also flashes to the desktop briefly every time a new level is loaded. Your character also seems to get stuck on everything in your path and every level looks the same, taking place mostly in outdoor fields surrounded by lava. A similar game that is MUCH better is Victor Vran. I would much rather play Victor Vran than this game any day.

Retro Tank Party
Indie. Retro. Tanks. Party. What more do you want?
Indie
David Snopek via his indie studio Snopek Games put his heart and soul into this game, listens to community feedback, facilitates community play sessions, and has made a solid ,b.retro style game. Unlike “Triple A” games that are released with a thin veneer of flashiness but no soul, this is the 180º opposite. Everything about this game screams care, craftsmanship - and collaboration with the community.
Retro

For those of us that miss the old tank games, Retro Tank Party hits that nostalgia quite nicely while also offering some modern improvements: online!, tracing bullets!, various game modes!, etc!.
For players not familiar with the old tank games, they’ll still be up and running fast.
Over the last few weeks I’ve gotten some chances to play the beta and, now, the released version. It’s been a lot of fun and I have been getting better… but so too, unfortunately, have others. This is a problem but perhaps not the game’s. Still it’s fun to figure out various little strategies.
