Armed to the Gears
Armed to the Gears:
It all started with the discovery of the Neutronium base element from a deep excavation in 2029, somewhere near a place named Main City. Neutrium turns out to be a powerful new energy that can be used to power batteries and equipment for hundreds of years. This type of energy is always useful for military purposes, and the countries that have access to the Neutrium start a race to develop the ultimate automated warfare unit. The citizens of the world take to the streets to raise their concerns, but the world turns to chaos, leading to the rise of three terrible factions. The worst of the three, the Ministry, wins the race and now controls the world with these ultimate machines of war. That is, until a rebellion of hackers plans to use the machines against the Ministry. It’s going to be Armed to the Gears!

Don't get me wrong with this review, I DID have fun… but there are several things wrong with this game. That being said... i only had like 5.5 hrs ACTUAL time played on campaign..... watched a movie with the wife and went to get more beer while the game was still running. (New Predator movie rocks btw). This game does not suck. I know it is in alpha. I want to like this game more, byt they have a lot of work to do
_Upgrading is confusing at first.. I feel it should be seperated from the turret menu_

## Heroes Must Diee
You have been living a peaceful life in a small village but once every fortnight these so called “Heroes” come into the village and un-apologetically break in houses and take what does not belong to them. Tired of this rampant menace you have decided to stop it and regain the peaceful life you so yearn. Build traps in and around your house or maybe buy some land on the outskirts of town to keep bloodshed away. Craft weapons, potions, bombs to be launched at the enemy. Resource manage whatever you have and help your fellow villagers buy buying resources from them from the gold of the fallen “Heroes”.
- Turn your humble abode into a full-on Dungeon that make the Heroes suck their thumb and wet their pants.
- Craft an elaborate Dungeon, place traps and ruses for Heroes will different skill set and attributes. Some maybe be heavy and strong, some may be intelligent and fast.
- Fight off bigger and smarter waves of Hero bands that come to take your loot.
- Learn about the incoming Hero’s weaknesses as they are strong and may not be killed easily. Lure them into traps, some are claustrophobic, some are greedy, some have weak ankles.
- Hire minions, monsters, and dragons as they have been tortured far too long and seek revenge.
- Craft items, weapons, ammunitions, bombs to reload your traps and slay the Heroes.
- Improve and upgrade traps, learn new technology because the enemy is learning too.
- Heightened heroes will come, who have learnt from their previous experiences and may know how to fight off your traps, so beware.
- Explore a vast map, filled with people who live their lives and talk. Two different villages and numerous traders coming in from different kingdoms.
- Improve your skills over time. Melee, Archery, Magic, Dark Magic are few skills to use directly against the enemy but also learn to Mine, Chop wood, Fish and Forage.
- Find a mount for yourself, with multiple mount options pick one. Take care of it and it grows and levels as you do.
- Loot from the slain Heroes, Gold, Epic and Rare weapons and armour. Use it against them or give it to your minions or sell off for more Gold.

## Delphyq

DelphyQ is a real-time strategy game with a pause-and-play mechanic.
### Plan your Operation
On the operation screen, you will see the map for the next mission. You can carefully plan how you want to approach this mission there. You will see enemy spawn locations, healing and power stations, doors, main and secondary objectives, and more but you can also select to just show doors, objectives, etc. to make the map clearer.

I somehow expected more. The details to be higher or some base building or solder selection.
now I know this is early access and for a game that only ask for this price, it is asking too much. Yet I have been spoiled by X-com and other game of that standard.
I love that it is in real time. And I see great potential for the game. But I am not ready to commit yet. And I feel that if you are unfamiliar to playing beta games you are properly going spoil this game for yourself if you play it this early.

## Rencia
As a beta tester of Rencia and a big fan of Masked work on the Starcraft 2 arcade, I definitely recommend this game.
This is a really fun twist to the RTS Genre. I've never been great at micro, but in Rencia you don't control the army directly. Instead you set way points for your army to rally to and join the battle yourself in a top down shooter view. It's incredible fun and something I've always wanted in an RTS.

## StarFringe: Adversus
I have been playing StarFringe: Adversus for a number of days, now, and find it fairly enjoyable even though it has a tendancy to crash at the most inopportune times - such as right after you move to a new sector. I have found that it's much better to hit the save just before you do something important. While the program DOES have an autosave feature, it's not adjustable and tends to overwrite earlier autosaves also at the most inopportune times. Better to stay on top of the saves yourself. That said, the game has great promise. It seems to be fairly heavily slanted in the computer players favor, though. The computer player seems to be able to build up it's forces MUCH faster than the human player, and the computer player is able to take over the map a whole LOT faster than the human player. I realize this game is still, technically, in development but this can be disheartening to some players. Also, I haven't been able to find where to contact the company directly to present my thoughts on the game. I don't know if the company is still working on the game or not. I HOPE so, because I'd like to see the game reach it's full potential.

Abandonware, Unfinished
There is no Campaign (or "Champaign" as it's still called, which should give an indication of its status), only Quick Battle
Despite the Dev cancelling development since June 2017, the game still lists as Early Access and is still being sold.
Do not buy

## Centauri Sector
Tags: Shootemup & Bullet Hell
Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library
TLDR: Upon closer inspection is more like a collection of minigames merged together into an experience that lacks cohesion in terms of pacing and difficulty, and in my case, failed to entertain, did not engage my in any way and left me a bit frustrated and underwhelmed
Review: You have an overland map… red planes show up... you click in their direction and intercept them. You get a shootemup instance sometimes it is way too hard. The game has you press a bunch of keyboard shortcuts to switch power from your engine to your weapons or shields FTL-style but this time around it is the janky keyboard version, and on a shootemup with no pause it is not as great as it sounds. Also the game tells you to retreat if you are losing which is also done by shortcuts... and chances are you will wanna wittle down ennemies a bit and flee before coming back. Upgrades and menus seemed well explained enough in tooltips but even though I bought escort ships they werent with me to fight... must have done something wrong. Instead of getting score you get prestige points and morale points which act as your cash, and basically your lives if morale is too low you lose the game. There are also instances where waves of ennemies come and you gotta spawn turrets tower defense style. So aside from all the keyboard shortcuts to remember the strenght of ennemies can be hard to assess at a glance, the game feels really slow but you die very fast and I think in the end the hardest part of the game is deciding which event to go adress which ones to retreat from, all in the hope of keeping your morale points afloat. Maybe there is a good game in there for someone who really enjoys all these minigames and genres and wants to multitask across them but in my case it was not my cup of tea. People compare this game to a flash game... or a collection of flash game, and there is some truth to it but in its defense I felt the game just had a tiny edge more visual polish and fleshened out interface to elevate it, ever so slightly above those... I stopped playing after my third space battle but people who keep playing say the game runs out of content and just throws the same stuff at you over and over again

*this review first appeared on TechZwn.com at http://techzwn.com/2015/07/centauri-sector-review/
Centauri Sector is the debut game release from indie developer LW Games. It’s a sci-fi space combat game with most of the action taking place as a top down 2D shooter, but there a few unique twists that set this game apart from others. This has the potential to be a great game, but in its current state it also has the potential to be quite frustrating.
Centauri Sector takes place in the far future where humanity has expanded into space and engaged in galactic civil war. One faction, fearing annihilation, flees to the far end of space to settle in the Centauri sector. After decades of peace, unknown pirates appear in the Centauri sector, disrupting trade and attacking planets. Your job is to defeat the pirate threat and save the day.

## Super Squad
I started playing this game in closed beta, I was super fortunate that they reached out to me as a small streamer, I got involved and have been able to watch the progress done throughout the last year and I can honestly say this game rocks! The dev team is super active within the community and constantly working on taking in suggestions and working on improvements. If you haven't downloaded yet, do it now. Get in while everyone still sucks at the game and you can be a pro in no time. I guarantee a year from now everyone is gonna be really good so watch out!
*– [Real player with 180.3 hrs in game](http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198127643701)*
Super Squad is a fun little game that once you get the hang of it there are hours of of fun to be had. If you are solo or want to play with friend's this really could be the game for you. The dev's are active friendly an have a very friendly discord community. To play a non toxic team v team game is a nice change. at almost 100 hours play time i can say i have enjoyed it. Super Squad has a learning curve at first but push on once you get the hang of it great time's can be had well done BadFox. I never said IT IS FREE meaning there is no reason not to check it out.

## Harvested
The game is a great RTS with a great story and tutorial I have not once felt like I was missing something that I was not told about in the tutorial. I have been looking for a game like this for a long time. The base building/resource gathering is done in away that makes it both fun and challenging. I sometimes get flash back to playing Warcraft 2 watching my workers gather wood and gold.
Vashta Entertainment is going on my list of Best indie developers to keep an eye on for future games. They have been helpful in there reposes to both my problems and questions I had.

The top-down perspective is refreshing and the lore behind the game immerses you in the world the creators have made. The real time strategy aspect lets you decide how hard the game will be, as if you prepare well for the night, you shouldn't have too many problems, but if you waste your time in the day, you likely won't make it through the night. The game is still developing and I am looking forward to seeing what the future has in store for Harvested.
