Play a weird western with crazy cultists and one-shot kills - Kill the Crows Quick Review

SHOULD I PLAY KILL THE CROWS? Play it if you’re a fan of top-down shooters or are looking for a simple, old-school game you can play in short bursts. Kill the Crows is a western about a lone gunslinger on a quest for revenge. There are no bullet sponges here; players, enemies, and even bosses can be felled by a single bullet, and just one mistake can bring a run to an end. At first, this felt frustrating, but once I got into the swing of things, racking up one-shot kills was incredibly satisfying.ᅠ

This retro hack-and-slash is one of the hardest games I’ve ever played - Bleak Sword DX Quick Review

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Skip it, unless you really love (and are really good at) fast-paced action games like Hades. Bleak Sword DX is an action-adventure hack-and-slash game that features a dark fantasy theme. I found its gloomy, pixel-art visual style appealing and pleasantly frightening, but most of the exhilaration I felt while playing was dragged down by punishing and frustrating game balance.

Steam users say this roguelike deck-builder is too hard - here’s why they’re wrong

I’ve been completely obsessed with Wildfrost since it came out, so I was surprised to discover it’s getting mixed reviews on Steam. According to reviewers, it’s wildly unbalanced. The heroes are too weak, the enemies are too tough, and the random elements make it impossible to build a solid deck. All of these things would be valid complaints, except for one teensy problem: they’re completely wrong.

Best Roguelike out There? - Dead Cells Review.

If you never played Dead Cells you are missing out a lot! I was one of those people, and I am glad that I gave it a go, even though Metroidvania isnt my favorite kind of games. This is a masterpiece like no other and everyone should play it just to know how perfect roguelike game feels like. Gameplay You play as some parasite organism that takes over dead body and uses it in order to move through the dungeon. Tutorial is very short showing you just some basic things, and then you are being thrown straight into action.

Death Cells gameplay (android, IOS)

Dead Cell - is a horizontal action game. When the character moves, the layering of the screen is very good, and you can feel the speed when you sprint, fall from a height, and take the elevator.The details in the levels are also very rich. The style of each level is different. In some scenes, small objects can also interact. When passing through a chandelier hung with an iron chain, it can swing with it. The bell can ring it when attacking. Props or gems will also be hidden in the walls of some scenes. It is also a design that makes people laugh when they accidentally smash them. The game's light source is also very comfortable to use. When moving, the soft moonlight emitted by the distant moon will also change, and the light effect during the battle is gorgeous and not dazzling. Although the game uses the technology of the current generation to create, but the style still maintains the unique taste of traditional pixel style works, this is rare.The biggest feature of this game is that there is no Checkpoint. After death, you can start again and the player can only hit one life to the end. And each death will reset the map of the level, only a few fixed facilities (time gate, treasure chest, etc.) will remain, and the terrain and scene will basically change.Every time you die, the money, cells, weapons, and strengthening status of the player will be completely remade. Only the unlocked weapons, skills and absorbed runes are retained. Every time you start the game, it will be like a new game.

The challenging puzzles of Cat of Khronos had me playing with time itself - Pocket Playfest

If you really love puzzle games or want something to keep you busy during your free time, Cat of Khronos is the perfect choice. This brilliant puzzle game put me in the mind of a cat trying to get fish by manipulating time. That setup might sound cute and charming, and it is! Don’t be fooled into thinking that means Cat of Khronos is a walk in the park though. This game has perplexed me through its many well-made puzzles. And even without much in the way of guidance or help, I enjoyed the game’s tough challenges.

A devious arcade shoot-em-up that had my head (and screen) spinning

If you suffer from vertigo or simply get dizzy easily, this may not be the game for you! Roto Force is controller- (or phone-)clenching shooter where I played as a tiny lil guy who could shift to the left or right on circular stages. As he moved, the entire perspective shifted along with him, so it almost looked more like I was moving the stage than my character. As if that wasn't enough to mess with my brain, I also had the ability to aim and rocket myself across the stage, quickly flipping my view upside down. It's more than a little bit disorienting. It's also, frankly, pretty brilliant.

Note: These are my thoughts on this game, do not treat it as fact if you play the game. Likes: The story although convoluted, is impactful around all of the unnecessary text. 2. The combat isn't in depth, which would be strange for a tower defense game. 3. Although it's not in-depth, hoh boy, this game can be DIFFICULT. 4. It's a strategy game for the most part, which is very stimulating for those looking for a mental challenge, such as myself. 5. The characters look great! That's without them being sexualized like so many characters, male and female. 6. The music is superb! I love the default lobby music, it's just so relaxing. 7. A massive variety of characters with different skills and attack patterns, etc, make the game fun despite it being a tower defense game. 8. The game itself looks great! 9. The base function means that f2p players are not screwed, but it may take a while to progress. 10. The proxy annihilation cards make Orundum farming so much quicker! 12. It doesn't seem like that it places massive reliance on stats, I mean I generally can do levels below the recommended operator level. 13. The difficulty is something I seek, because of the feeling of accomplishing a challenge that I thought wasn't possible. 14. The challenge mode addition means that you can play through the game again upon completion but it will be even more difficult in the long run. Dislikes: No multi-farm mechanic. 2. Auto deploy is not always consistent. 3. You can only double the combat speed, which is the default speed in auto deploy, would like it if it could be faster. 4. No way as far as I have been able to see in which you can change your name more than once without spending money. Now, a few important notes/tips: This is a tower defense game, so if that's not your thing, you probably won't enjoy this. 2. The gameplay can indeed be grueling, so if you're easily discouraged, I encourage you to not give up. 3. Resources are rather scarce, especially the only currency which can buy skins, (originate prime) so use sparingly. 4. Five things you will have to learn: Order of deployment, location of deployment, timing of deployment and skills being activated, and team synergy (these five things are often necessary together). 5. Do not convert "originite prime" to "Orundum" or buy furniture with "originite prime" if you care about buying skins for operators. Finally, the story is dark, so it's not for the faint of heart. Also, I am in episode 2, as of the time I posted this review, so I haven't made it very far, and thus, I may update this as time goes on.

This difficult, old-school RPG has the longest name I’ve ever seen for a video game

SHOULD I PLAY MON-YU? Let me start with a warning: despite the intriguing name and the cutesy character art, Mon-Yu is a hardcore dungeon crawler, something along the same lines as the Etrian Odyssey series. I know I’m not alone in loving that stuff, but I also know it’s not for everyone. If you are someone who also enjoys slowly filling in each square of a grid-based map, and carefully choosing your actions each turn,

A disappointing co-op experiment for this spooky series - The Outlast Trials Quick First Impressions

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? I strongly recommend skipping The Outlast Trials for now, unless you have a group of three other friends who all love the previous Outlast games and who are all available to play together at the same time. The Outlast Trials is a bold experiment for developer Red Barrels, taking the basic elements of its stealth horror franchise and adding co-op and live service elements for the first time. Unfortunately, that experiment is a failure, at least in its current state.

VOIDIGO - JUST FEELS LIKE IT'S NOT AS FUN ANYMORE

Maybe it could just be a bit of a burnout streak. In that case it would only be my fault. But I would also blame the developers for not really thinking about the long term players, who have been playing since very early access when adding in new currencies. Consider following on other Social Media platforms for, Giveaways and more:

A Bit Of Bleak Sword - A Sneak Peek

Hey there, Thanks for tapping into my latest stab at the indie gaming world- specifically, developer more8bit's hack and slash adventure, Bleak Sword DX. Essentially, this is a vastly expanded version of the original IOS game- with both new and remixed levels. But, I'm getting ahead of myself. A Bleak Future The story begins with the fall of a kingdom- courtesy of the Bleak Sword. This dread weapon had found it's way into the hands of a member of the royal family, the wretched weapon corrupting them so thoroughly, that they enthusiastically engage in a bit of familicide in order to ascend to the throne.

This game is great! The design for the game is unique and very good for visuals and gameplay wise, it’s very fun. It’s a side scroller with great combat where you can have all these different types of weapons like blood swords, a lightning whip, a giant hammer, a frying pan, a nail from another game called hollow knight as well as shields, bombs and other throwable items as well. This game is so much fun and with it being a difficult game, it adds more to how much you have to pay attention to your surroundings and figure out the enemies attack patterns. Highly recommend this game to people who like a challenge to their games but if you don’t want that then there’s another option called assist mode where it lets you change and switch around the settings so enemies do less damage and have more health and other stuff. Recommend this game to many people!

While the gameplay might not be suitable for a good amount of people because it's very difficult and frustrating, one must admit that the visuals and soundtrack of this game is top-notch. The pixel art is implemented in a way that makes you feel like you are in the levels itself. Every movement feels very smooth and realistic, sometimes even humorous. And the soundtrack is the  cherry on top. All this thrilling and action-packed music in the background definitely push the energy of the gameplay to the max. Heck, I think the reason I'm still grinding this game despite its crazy gameplay is because of the graphics and atmosphere. And especially with the game's constant update and fresh new DLCs, Dead Cells will never become old.
