“A solid gritty survival tactics game, and even though it lacks magic, it still gives you a lot of combat options to play with, and decent character variety.”

“A real hidden gem - I honestly prefer this significantly over Dome Keeper, in spite of its few flaws (such as forced loops). The gameplay and progress just feels good.”

“The pedigree of former Diablo and Fate developers really shows through in the classic Torchlight - though it is only single player. Last Boss is a slog, but it does have an endless dungeon too.”

“A base management, platforming, roguelite... thing? A lot of fun, easily beatable in a weekend (6-12 hours), brought some of the best things from spelunky, into an equally deep game.”

Recommended March 11

“It revitalized the first person dungeon crawler when it released, and is still a ton of fun to this day - that said, it does kind of have a weak ending, but other than that I loved the game”

“A Diablo inspired Bullet Heaven that's worth taking a quick look at if you're interested in the bullet heaven genre - nice mix of progression, equipment, and abilities - and it's very cathartic.”

Recommended February 18

“A Solid aRPG worth checking out if you enjoy the genre, has about as much depth as PoE, but delivers it in a much more digestible form. It has its flaws, but better than most others on the market.”

Recommended February 12

“Really enjoyable Metroidvania with time loops, and even an interesting way of promoting exploring the world through its uses of plants and sleepers - will be playing this in my free time too.”

Recommended November 20, 2023

“Another game in the "emotionally evocative" RPG niche, this time in a mashup of Groundhog Day and jRPG. Definitely worth a go, though it does delve into loss, suffering, love, and fear.”

“I'm glad I waited for 1.0 to get more than a couple chapters into it for the full experience. This is a very story driven RPG, so keep that in mind when going into it.”

“A fun 5-15 hour metroidvania, with an interesting control scheme that's not standard for metroidvanias, but still fun if you enjoy actively dashing around screens.”

“A short platformer, sometimes mislabeled a metroidvania due to the connected world - it is an 8-9 hour platforming adventure with an Aztec inspired aesthetic, and a really nice soundtrack.”

“If you enjoy autobattlers - this is a solid pickup. While it has a bit of jank in the translations, the character customization is a ton of fun, and it has a decent amount of layers and options.”

“A classic turn based dungeon crawler, and the Atuls Jank is part of the charm. That said, the balancing is all over the place, which can be a turnoff, but it is a classic for a reason”

“Now this is what I am looking for when it comes to isometric souls-likes - adjustable difficulty based on my mood, solid combat, and even though the story falls flat, it does some really good things.”

“Rin has some fun features it adds to the metroidvania formula, with the skills being a big highlight. Though I do wish the navigation techs were bound to more than just one key.”

“A fun spin on a deckbuilder mixed with tower defense and bullet heaven philosophies. I enjoyed it, but there is only a limited amount of replayability.”

“This falls somewhere between Xcom and Halfway, with an enjoyable gameplay cycle - it's meant to be a roguelite, but it's able to be beaten in one run if you play properly.”

“A frantic at times, but overall an enjoyable isometric souls-like if you're looking for a challenge focused on precise dodging.”

“A fun roguelite that introduces minor metroidvania features, and a multiple character arsenal, into the Dead Cells formula - while not a 10/10 game, is still a solid enjoyable experience overall.”

“Really interesting deck builder with boss rush mechanics, not very long, but fun, and a solid pickup for anyone looking into enemy design for a deckbuilder.”

Informational May 1, 2023

“60/40 recommended, there's a strong core, though I would say it's best to let it cook for a little bit after release, since it needs a couple more layers of polish before it's a full recommend.”

“A Dark dungeon crawler centered around the lore of demons and devils, as you try to desperately protect your world by selling your soul - a little rough around the edges, but still a fun distraction.”

“A new interpretation of the Forager formula - would say it's got a few advantages, but also a few disadvantages, comparatively though. I don't think either is 100% where I'd like to see the sub-genre.”

“Another fun little Tower Defense game, has a bit of earthworm jim energy as well. Can get a bit tough at time, especially due to limited build zones and only limited amounts of mazing on some maps.”

“I love the 'assemble your own minions' approach to the army development, which is enough for the asking price - though I do wish the game was a bit less grindy with the meta progression.”

“A fun tower defense title where you not only maze with your turrets, but you actually build the platform that the enemies travel along - fairly challenging, without being unfair. It's a pretty fun TD.”

Informational March 11

“A fun little strategy game with an interesting turn mechanic, absolutely based on chess - a nice hybrid of 'strategy' and 'puzzle'.”

“If you enjoyed Star Fox or Panzer Dragoon - you'll likely enjoy this. While it's not a super extensive game, the content it has will give you a nice dip into nostalgia.”
