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.

What if an MMO had permadeath and bullet hell combat? Welcome to Darza’s Dominion

SHOULD I PLAY DARZA’S DOMINION? If you’re looking for a unique take on MMOs, Darza’s Dominion might be worth checking out, but I’d strongly recommend playing the PC version rather than mobile. This action-RPG mixes elements of massively multiplayer games with bullet hell action, permadeath, and pixel art. It makes for a very original experience, even compared to other retro MMOs like Realm of the Mad God

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.

This first-person parkour game is the perfect follow-up to Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty

SHOULD I PLAY GHOSTRUNNER 2? If you love the cyberpunk aesthetic or are looking for something with a similar vibe to play after wrapping up Cyberpunk 2077’s new DLC, then yes, definitely give this one a shot. Ghostrunner 2 is the sequel to a first-person sci-fi ninja game that launched back in 2020. That first game was already an awesome, adrenaline-pumping journey through a messed up neon future, but this one amps everything up to eleven. It is a supremely challenging, brutal, and beautiful game that deserves your attention.

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:

Darkest Dungeon mixed with Bejeweled is a surprisingly solid combo

If the art style in this screenshot looks familiar, it's probably because you've played or at least seen footage of the great, super-challenging roguelike Darkest Dungeon. The art for Path of Puzzles looks so similar to Darkest Dungeon that it's got to be just teetering on the edge of being literally copied from that art style. That said, the reason the Darkest Dungeon-esque art stands out so much is that it's a striking, powerful aesthetic, and that remains true in Path of Puzzles as well. And it's not just the art that this game shares in common with Darkest Dungeon!

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.

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.

Bleak Sword DX - Simple Premise, Challenging Execution

Hey Folks, Thanks for tapping & tuning in. As it stands, I recently went through more8bit's Bleak Sword DX, a vastly expanded version of the original IOS title. Boasting a fittingly bleak world, depicted in a lo-fi style- the game endeavours to provide a suitably challenging hack & slash experience for would-be heroes. But does it succeed at the task, or was this quest doomed from the start? Check out the video and find out. P.S.  If you want to see my other reviews, you can check out & Follow me @

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.

#TapTapExplorerS2

Hello everyone, today I would like to present you a title that is well known but in my opinion stands out for its characteristic "beauty".  Dead Cells , a title that is already a few years old, preserved in the PixelArt and rougelike atmosphere.  Despite the limitations of this graphic method, the artists coped with the task perfectly.  By using intense colors, often contrasting, they gave the game a specific atmosphere.

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.

It's just perfect!

Yes, yes, you should play this game! I want to share with you my expert opinion — after all, I have played Dead Cells on PC and since the release on phones. I can say that at the beginning of the release of this game there were a lot of unpleasant bugs and even crashes, but after numerous updates, the game has become just fine! About graphics — Cool pixel art, almost as good as the PC version. About the control — The usual control is quite convenient and you get used to it quickly, also in the settings you can customize it for yourself.  I can also note the support of geimpads in this game as a big plus. About optimization — I tried to play on my old phone and basically play very well (but be prepared to meet with the crashes of the game). Also — there are add-ons in the game, I bought two of them and do not regret them because they are very interesting (although you can do without them) My opinion is that this is a decent port from the PC, the game has wonderful music and atmosphere, memorable enemies and locations. In general, I advise...
It's just perfect!

A sloppy Vampire Survivors clone that apes Don’t Starve’s art style

SHOULD I PLAY WILD LEGION? In its current demo form, you’re safe passing on this one. Wild Legion is yet another Vampire Survivors clone, but it fails to capture a lot of elements that make this type of game actually click so strongly with players. On top of that, the best part of the game—its stylish visuals—appears to be lifted wholesale from Don’t Starve. PLAY IT FOR YOURSELF From December 23, 2023, through January 7, 2024, TapTap is running our Pocket Playfest Winter Edition. That means you don't need to take our review as the final word; you can try playing this game yourself!

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.
