Caves of Good, at least for those that are familiar and fond of the term old-school roguelike.

♥♥♥ has a huge (unlike I've seen in any game) open world which reminds me a bit of Fallout's post-apocalyptic landscapes. Most things are hostile towards you but there's also alliances to make and settlements to visit, many "factions" to befriend while making others to dislike you. You start by making a character with or without mutations (sort of upgradable conditions) pick a class to boost the stats of your liking a head to wasteland.

I like ♥♥♥'s simple graphics but this is of course a matter of taste. It compliments the gameplay though, so I feel that it's justified.

Highly recommended for those with patience and a liking for a challenge. There's some learning curve with the commands but it's a pretty smooth ride once you get the hang of it.

edit: This is the best true roguelike game you could buy. It has both depth and accessibility and that's a rare feat. You need to wear your patience-pants with this one since there's so much to see, read and learn.

If you want a game that feels like saturday morning from your childhood, buy this.

Simply put: An underrated gem.

LISA is an rpg with dark humor, dark themes and at least one dark cave. You're Brad Armstrong, a beaten and scarred, both physically and mentally, martial arts instructor who has to make some serious decisions. There's JOY, a drug that makes you forget all the pain but should you really use it? There's people to rescue and/or to kill. There's people to recruit and sacrifice.

The game doesn't really pull any punches. It keeps throwing disturbing events at you and it's up to you how you take it. I get most of the jokes and find the game brilliant but some will definitely find it repulsive. This is one of those games that I will remember for a long time and something I just might go back to. Just to breathe in the good kind of weird.

edit: I went in blind, picked the hard mode, didn't use the drugs and boy was it a wild ride now that I'm through. I suggest playing on normal though, since the game can be a bit on the edge at times, especially with some of it's bosses.

You don't need a walkthrough to play if you just pay attention what you're doing.

What you see is what you get, an addicting casual "game".

My only gripe is that the music - while easy to listen - gets old quite fast and chiptunes would've suited the theme better. I also bought the additional RPG-pack just to support the devs. There's so much to color that I might never get that far but I don't mind.

God I wish I could buy Brutal Doom and didn't have to fiddle with modding. #brutaldoom4steam

Great real-time stealth game in veins of the Commandos-series. Shadow Tactics let's you decide your own routes and both sneak and kill as a true ninja. Definitely not the easiest game but many times you can pass a difficult obstacle by causing a commotion since you're mission doesn't fail if you're seen, just makes it harder when more guards are alerted to patrol the area.

Every mission also has a set of additional goals to pursue and 3 difficulty levels but I suggest playing the "intended difficulty" since it provided a great challenge without feeling too dumbed down.

There are some minor hickups with the controls, especially with the camera panning, which you have to use in order to nacigate through the more cluttered areas. Quicksave helps alot in this regard since a simple misclick doesn't ruin the whole level.

Shadow Tactics takes some patience, doesn't hold your hand all the time and requires some planning. I highly recommend this game for anyone who can appreciate these three qualities.

I played the games 1-3 in order and loved all of them but for some reason the atmosphere in DS2 captures me the most. It's serene and out-of-place at the same time and that's the heart of the Souls-experience for me. Luckily for me I didn't buy the original DS2 immediately and got to experience the GOTY version.

Sure the first one was weirder, dark and gritty, and the third one had faster, meatier combat and outstanding scenery yet still I return to Majula to enjoy it's sad tunes and views. I feel that also the slower pace of this game is in favor of the drowsy setting.

In that sense SotFS is like the morning-after DS1, where the nightmare is over just to start all over again, just like the core "loop" in every Souls game.

Analyzing or comparing weapons, poise, builds or things like that breaks the immersion which is the most important part for me.

:praisesun:

It's little like the game Getting over it. Sadistic, difficult and you can't get over it until you're over it. A one trick pony that spares no punches. Either you master the aim, movement and timing or lose. It's a Hell on Earth. There's only one achievement and this game is not for you if you ain't going to pursue it.

A simple turn-based roguelike game on the surface but underneath these cute SNES-era graphics lies a somewhat vicious little beast with a splendid gimmick. See the world is ending and the end comes literally from the west. The screen moves towards right and you should too, since if the darkness consumes you... well you will die of course. This feature makes you prioritise where to move, which buildings to enter (since you can get caught in them if you're not careful), when to fight enemies or if it's better to just run away.

And it works. Even though the game is turn-based and you can take all the time in the world to decide how to approach the different situations you just can't do everything and this actually makes the gaming experience lighter than your typical old-school roguelike games. One Way Heroics is closer to rogue-like than rogue-lite but it truly bends the boundaries here and I hope it gives fresh ideas to other devs aswell.

During you first couple of hours the plot might feel vague and the gameplay a bit shallow but this is a game which rewards many tries and many playthroughs, and opens up bit by bit to keep some surprises in its sleeves. One Way Heroics is a also a great game for shorter bursts since one playthrough doesn't take too long and as mentioned earlier the game kinda pushes you forward.

Pros.
- Pretty if you like pixel art and old FF's
- "Short" playthroughs (at least compared to other roguelikes)
- The world ending gimmick
- Quite easy to learn even though it uses many buttons (I suggest using keyboard even though pads are working too)
- "Casual" introduction to roguelike genre

Cons.
- Doesn't really take a hold on you in the beginning (but it keeps growing in you)
- Could use more "everything" meaning items, enemies, events and whatnot.
- UI - User interface is a bit all over the place (you'll get used to it)
- There isn't a whole lot of story here.

6 hours to full completion and well worth the money. Pixelate Binding of Isaac, add more Satan, make the runs shorter and you get Skelly Selest. Great for quick runs and in between other games. It has weird chiptune music that doesn't match the artstyle and it doesn't have tons of items for variation but for it's price it sure has heart.
