Ambition of the Slimes
The first thing you should know about Ambition of the Slimes if you are considering picking it up is that although it is a strategy RPG, the emphasis is much more on the “strategy” than the “RPG”. Grinding will only help you so much; far more important is choosing the right slimes and making the right moves. If this sounds too stressful, then you may want to seek out another game (however, please note that there is an Easy difficulty which I didn’t touch– I stuck with Normal, plus replayed some levels on Hard and did a few Challenges– so YMMV).

very disappointed, the game is not balanced to give a fair difficulty to the player. Even easy mode will kick your ass. Enemies are too much powerful and, for reasons, some of them will be difficult to “claim”. Also you have very weak slimes, leveling them up is not very helpful, and you get new species randomly. Also in some levels you have a limited number of slimes vs hordes of enemies.
And…. seriously, why, for all the reasons in the world, the tutorial explains you how to use a very important slime with the stickyness ability, but when the tutorial ends you don’t have that slime anymore and you can’t find that anywhere? Why?

Edifice of Fiends
Nice tiny tutorial how to do your fights & skills
Saving your progress is possible but at a certain cost :P
Each floor you progress through gives u shops & items to buy and improve your character
Interface kept simple but goes fast even playing with the keyboard
Gives you the possibility to change the keybindings
Game also is getting regular updates at the moment of writing
Some minor points:
First floors not have much of a scenery/setup change, took some floors to see a small chance, could use for sure some variations

I saw this on sale for 80% off ($1) and decided to pick it up.
Can’t recommend it. This is a poor RPG maker game and there are better ones out there.
Let’s take a look at the listings on the store and go one-by-one, shall we?
“Every choice matters as you try to fight your way to the top of the Edifice of Fiends”
Your choices are… what do I buy, and what skills/attributes do I spec into. There are not any other meaningful choices (well, I guess you could waste your time picking up a pickaxe/felling axe so that you can possibly make gear that is basically as good as what you can buy in the store)

Eldrador creatures is not a bad game, but if your looking for a complex battle system, then this is not aimed at you, i did play through the game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ded0H1Mrdw&list=PL0i-inNt6h7-INFcuxlykQ-Lx7hIgUs_R and found the combat was weak, but it seems more fitted for kids then anyone else, the graphics are ok, music is fine 2. Value for money, for an adult the game is not worth the money as it is short, it took me 5 1/2 hour to do, but for a kid this will give them plenty of time playing the game, so would i recommend the game, it would be a no for adults but a yes for kids

Forever and Ever
CUNNING STRATEGY AND THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP ARE YOUR GREATEST WEAPONS (BUT GUNS AND MAGIC HELP TOO)
Forever and Ever is an anime-inspired turn-based strategy game with billions of different heroes ready for adventure. In a world of heroes and villains battling for immortal glory, a strange storyteller falls from another world. As this mysterious bard, recruit uniquely generated future legends with diverse appearances, backstories, and personalities. Only your tactics and the bonds of their friendship can lead them to eternal fame and fortune!
CUNNING STRATEGY
-
Build a team from 10 different character classes that support a wide range of tactics!
-
Battle with action-packed abilities that can be customized to fit your strategy!
-
Every fight is fair- win or lose based on your decisions, not how much you’ve been grinding!
THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP
-
Discover procedurally generated backstories to reveal your heroes' past, personality, and secret ambitions!
-
Forge friendships on the battlefield whose bonds will save them in clutch moments!
-
You’ll never see the same hero twice! Forever and Ever features over 5 billion uniquely-generated characters!
-
If they die, they’re gone forever (and ever)!
Whether your heroes are ancient defective gardening robots, magical animal children, zombified party addicts, or edgelords from the future, the journey starts with an interview! Learn about each candidate’s strengths, weaknesses, backstories, and personality, and find the heroes that are right for you. Maybe your team needs an Outlaw, a rockstar gunslinger who can’t stop dishing out damage? Or a Crusader, a bulky knight-officer who shields your team from harm with the power of THE LAW? Or a blasphemous Heretic, who dares to use their magic to protect instead of fight? These character classes and more await you in the world of Forever and Ever!
Guide these heroes into battle, and soon they’ll discover Secret Techniques: modifications and additions to their original abilities to expand your tactical options. Develop a fierce warband that fights with your personal flair!
Throughout their journey, heroes develop bonds and relationships that strengthen over time. These bonds show their true power in heroes’ most dire moments, and can save them from certain death. A Crusader and a Punk, once enemies on opposite sides of the law, now fierce comrades, push each other to fight beyond their mortal limits. An Exorcist shouts a word of warning to her wife, letting her dodge a deadly blow at the last moment. A Hermit heals his rival from the brink of death, and friendship begins to replace their antagonistic feelings. What story will you and your heroes tell?
Guile & Glory: Firstborn
I just completed Guile & Glory: Firstborn (it took me 17 hours – story + delve runs), and I had a great time adventuring in the Drowned Lands. If you like turn-based tactics games, and if fighting epic battles against mythical beasts gets your blood pumping, you should definitely pick this game up.
Guile & Glory: Firstborn is described by its dev as being inspired by Into the Breach (gameplay) & the Golden Axe series (atmosphere), and this is exactly what the game delivers.
– Real player with 33.9 hrs in game
A lot of people compared this to Into the Breach, but it’s really more like Deadly Rooms of Death for people who aren’t masochists. Like DROD, there’s no miss chance, no random choices from the AI, and no excuses besides your own incompetence if you get yourself killed. But unlike DROD, you can level up, change your loadout, or even take a hit and accept a lower score. There are outcomes in between “choose exactly the sequence of steps the dev intended” and “die horribly,” and the bonus objectives encourage excellence without mandating it.

Shining Force II
SF2 tells a bit more lore of the World of Runes compared to SF1 and we get a clearer picture in part of the world in our explore and its history of the 3 demon lords here.
Although it’s a SRPG, this game folds out more like a normal JRPG, with everything we can expect in a JRPG story completed in the game, from boat, to ship, to air ship… from hidden characters… hidden items… to final strongest weapon crafting… all the classic goodies of a JRPG is here. The tactic part falls on a random encounter basis, but instead of small fight, it’s a full map fight, so they lowered the encounter rate to super rare… which makes finding a random fight outside the main story battle in the game a wee bit harder than a normal JRPG.

This along with its predecessor Shining Force I is an absolutely unique mix of tactical RPG and traditional JRPG town and overworld exploration.
In pure Strategy RPGs, what you get is usually a sequence of battles separated by cutscenes. Personally, that causes me to burn out pretty fast because of the repetition. The Shining Force games however have such a perfect mix of battle/exploration/story that my interest is constantly renewed. Combat can be challenging but the mechanics are light enough that it still feels relaxing to play.

Classic SRPG that’s pretty much fun and sticking to all the old school pattern with class upgrade, hidden objects on battle field, rpg style town explore and hidden characters to collect which adds to the replayability.
I was here because i wanted to start playing another Shining series but vaguely remember the game is supposed to be SRPG and not ARPG, so I came for a quick check but ended up finishing the whole game and probably will go for other series they have on SMD Steam before i move on to play the newer ones. Glad i did too! It’s fun, and the old and simple old school beats all the complex settings and story lore of the later series i guess… too complex makes them a burden to learn… I guess the simplicity is what makes the Classics so wonderful.

IN A WORD: MAYBE
IN A NUTSHELL:
WHAT TO EXPECT: Hardcore SRPG. Intimidating challenge except on easy. Chess-like strategy. Squad-based tactics. Fast gameplay. Complex tactical combat with strong AI. Chinese theme, ambience and setting. Pretty graphics. Complimentary soundtrack. Lacks dynamicity. Limited replayability. Terrible English translation. Singleplayer only.
ACHIEVEMENTS: VERY HARD 100%.
STATUS: COMPLETE.
WHEN TO BUY: FOR FANS OF HARDCORE SRPGs. OR FANS OF CHESS LIKE GAMES.
