It's essentially Vampire Survivors but you control with your mouse cursor and there are rooms to go through.

It becomes really repetitive after a while, but that's expected for the price and there's so much charm to this game they did a pretty good job!

This is probably the best single-player game I've played in the 2020s.

Played in the most challenging difficulty, and I was glad that the difficulty isn't just MAKE ENEMIES' HP 10 TIME LONGER TO BEAT! It increases the HP yes, but not to a level that makes it boring, which unfortunately a lot of games do that which makes the game lame to beat, so I'm glad they did the difficulty right.

The very hard difficulty makes that the timing of the beats tighter, and you take more damage, which is exactly what a lot of games should do, challenge the player, not making the player grind at just killing an enemy. If you're familiar with rhythm games by any chance, the tighter rhythm timing is so easy to be consistent with.

Story is great, although some annoying clichés here and there but didn't ruin the story for me. The major boss fights in this game are really good, some of my favorite parts of the game.

There's also a very good variety in items which you can choose, that there's also an item that punishes you for not reading what it does, which is funny and cool.

I honestly give this game a massive
10/10

Really fun game, but from my experience some of fanbase are just unhinged that never touched a women that isn't their mom. I don't play games for the fanbase anyways, and neither should you. Like with any good game you'll have this, it's just what it is.

Any who... getting this game on a sale is a massively great deal, even full price is worth it personally!

I'd honestly give this game middle between recommending and not recommending.

I love the artstyle and comedy it has, but unfortunately the game is from my first run there was a bug that ruined my progress, not sure if it's from my end, but it happened with this game.

The weapons you collect for the most part aren't as good as the the starting weapon, I just used my starting weapon most of the time, there was a laser gun that was good that I used, but overall only one weapon I actually used other than the starting weapon.

Also a big issue with this game that also gave the boredom, is that the game spawn the same enemies a lot wave after wave.

TLDR:
The game suffers from some bugs that could ruin your, balance issues and lack of variety in gameplay.

Feel like this game is an early access game, but I can say that I feel like this game is so close to being a good game.

Great demo game!

Although it's way different from the actual Furi game, and the only thing I didn't like from this is parry input, it should have it's own bind for convenience, especially since there aren't many binds but even then it's playable if you adapt.

Furi sequel next, k? Thanks

This game is honestly one of my favorite platformers of all time, and I loved FP1 heavily.

It's got pretty sprites, lots of levels that don't overstay their welcome, and good replayability.

And the parry mechanic in this game is really good and fun to use, major points for that mechanic alone.

Also, it comes with decent item loadouts, which I liked.

The only few things that I prefer in FP1 over FP2 are the following:

1 - The Music:
The OST in this game is still great and lively, it's just that FP1 does that better imo, some of the soundtracks feel like they're messing something to make 'em pop.

Overall, great music, Nalao Lake is probably my favorite.

2 - The Main Villain, Merga:
I personally think the story is structured better than in the first one, but at the same time FP1 has the better main villain, Lord Brevon.

Honestly, Lord Brevon is one of my favorite indie villains, smuggy and violent. The (in)famous torture scene in FP1 is what made me love him. You might call me an edgy for it, I don't mind, I feel like game stories should bring out the violence in villains, I mean he's a villain, of course he would be violent, it's makes the fiction a bit more real, but not too real imo.

Merga in the other hand just didn't hit the mark for me, I don't really hate her or even dislike her, she's just not as exciting as Brevon, not even close.
Good villain introduction, and a cool ass ship she got, but spoiler alert in the true ending, it made her lamer for me personally.
Not bad, but it isn't Brevon.

This game has 4 playable character, 3 of them are fun to play, but the character that I was interested in the most to try, Neera Li, came as a bit of a disappointment.
She's the "hardest" to play yes, I usually love playing the challenging characters, but she's really not that fun to play, I could get into details why, but I'll just she's doesn't feel as rewarding as playing the other 3 characters.

Overall, a fantastic game, shame it released at a very bad time, I wish it was more popular if it had a proper release date.

Gonna talk about the actual game:

Scott Pilgrim Vs The World - The Game is a beat 'em up 1-4 players game where there are 7 levels in this game so it's not that long, but the price fits it alright, and that's not including the other game modes available, which I'll talk about later.

The game is based on the Scott Pilgrim comics, so if you played this game without seeing the comics, you're gonna miss a lot of references, just like how I did over 10 years ago on the Playstation 3 days. Other than comics references, there are other cool references in here like Mario, Zelda, Street Fighter, but some references require a bit more thinking to understand like in the end of the game for Mega Man 2 reference. Not gonna spoil it, as it's better for you to find 'em for yourself.

So the beating up part, at the start you won't have special moves, just two normal moves, a fast attack and a strong attack, calling a striker and a super attack. Calling a striker is unique for each character, it's basically a quick assist to help ya out that uses a meter called GP. And a Super Attack from what I remember, is basically a tornado-like kick for all characters that also uses GP, it's a get-off me button. Even stuff like running attacks and blocking you'll not have access to until shortly later on. To get new moves, you just have to level up your character, by just beating up enemies, y'know a beat 'em up.

There's also a shop, where you can increases your typical stats like HP, damage, etc...
The shop has a really good song that I love, but the thing that I really hate about it is that it doesn't tell you what each item does, for example you'll buy an item just called Soda, but it doesn't tell you the stats only after you buy it, which is really something I hate, but usually in each shop, the cheapest items in the store heals you and restores some of your GP.
I'm not the type of person who looks up game guides, as I'm a self-learner, but for this reason I'd honestly won't blame ya if you went to a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ website like GameFaqs that tells you the stats of each item, that's not a good designed shop, but again the shop music carries it.
There's also moves that you can get by only buying, but you're gonna need to grind a bit to get 'em , and to be honest usually they're not worth it, as you'll have beaten the game already before you get 'em, but they're a cool moves, so if you like progressing even after beating the game, here's a reason for ya.

I think the controls are great, so no issues with that. However I think with most Beat 'Em Up games, the game can be quite repetitive with the same enemies, especially if you're 2-players or solo, 3-players in my memory had way more enemies, which can make the game a bit more fun and less repetitive. At least some of the bosses are fun to play against. It's really like most Beat 'Em Up games, so nothing else needs to be said. I'd recommend to play this game with at least 2 other players.
Honestly the top tier quality of this game comes from the pixel-art and music, they really carry this game.

The game length is not that long, you can probably beat it in less than 4 hours according to HowLongToBeat, especially if you're a quick learner, then you'll probably beat it a lot faster than the average completion time, but it fits the price so it's fine in my book.

In Conclusion:

Outside of the port not having achievements, which is really disappointing, for the price of this game I'd say it's worth it.

I'd also recommend to play this game in either Steam's Remote Play or Parsec, as the multiplayer in UPlay is broken, also in local multiplayer you can't have a player disconnect and ruin it for the other players by forcing to end the game just because one player decided to leave or their internet randomly cuts out.

It's a mindless Beat 'Em Up game that has Scott Pilgrim, if you read the comics, then you'd probably love this more.

I absolutely recommend this game, just wait for sales.

DNF Duel is a game designed to be played by new players that don't have much experience in FGs.

- You can do the Mana Special Moves by just pressing a direction and the MS button. Obviously inspired by platform fighter games, specifically Smash, as a lot of the players rather play and come from Platform Fighters. This makes it characters with DP (aka the invincible reversal) a very strong tool to have, as you can just react to jump-in attack easily with the direction input instead of the traditional Z-Motion input. Yes, of course it has the con of having your MP regeneration delayed by doing the easy inputs rather than the traditional inputs.

- This game only has 2 normal buttons. I like to call them Light and Medium buttons. There's also the Skills button, which is kind of a weird one, some characters' Skills act as either a Heavy button, or Mana Free Special Moves, or hell even both. For Example, Kunoichi's 5S or Neutral Skill[dustloop.com] by just looking at it, it obviously acts as a 2 multi-hit heavy attack. However, Kunoichi's 6S or Forward Skill[dustloop.com] we see that it's a projectile attack.

I don't mind the Skills button acting as 2 different type of moves, but the fact that it only has 2 normal moves makes the game quite limiting.

- A guard button that automatically blocks for you on either side. The only way to mix your opponent is by doing either an overhead attack which has to be blocked standing, or doing a low attack that has to be blocked crouching. The existence of this button immediately tells you that there won't be side-switching mix ups, and that's it's pretty much a strike/throw game, as there's barely no instant overheads or overhead moves generally (moves that hits high while in the ground).

Pros:

- Amazing and colourful visuals. I'm not really into anime personally, but the game's a pretty stunning game to look at, the lightning that comes from certain attacks.. just an absolutely stunning looking game and animation.

- A perfect party fighting game, very easy to pick up and play. As said before, only 2 normals, a skill button and special moves can be done by directional inputs, the existence of guard button and that it's easy to do a simple combo. A into B into Skills into MP Skills which almost all the characters can do. And it also has a video preview of each move in the move list, to see any character's move set easily and clearly.

- High tier online player. It's not top tier online as it doesn't have crossplay, which is crucial for Fighting Games as it's a niche genre, but the quality of the netcode is amazingly well done, almost never had any ♥♥♥♥♥♥ laggy matches, and ones I did was with WI-FI players only. And it has a good matchmaking, no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ chibi avatars loading into loading into loading into error error error into loading... no straight to the point, ranked match, search. That's all it takes and it really encourages you to play it online without the hassle. Speaking of online play, it also a normal ranking system, not like Strive's baby's first ranking mode which can be cheated or overall easy to get to the top "rank" in Strive, here's it's a normal ranking system, not the best in my honest opinion, but it's good enough.

- Amazing character designs. I almost love the whole current roster of this game, except for one certain character which is The Enchantress, not that I hate her, just her fans... any who the roster is great.

Cons:

- As of the date of this review, no regional pricing. This game overall is expensive even in the US and you want to see it's non-regional price for the other countries? A game that's pretty much a multiplayer game should not cost this much at all, it's really not worth the price. The single-player mode just lets you see characters talking to each other and lets you play against an easy AI, just watch it on YouTube, save your time.

- Very unbalanced game. I'm sure most of the readers here aren't tryhard sweats who achieves the deity rank like me (not sure if I'm really proud of it tbh), as for the casuals readers, it's balanced enough to play as a party game. For those who compete... it's really heavily unbalanced game, easily the most unbalanced modern fighting game I've ever player. Would love to go to details on this, but it's pretty much like the devs don't really know how to balance a fighting game for the high level players at all. The tournament organisers are already banning The Swiftmaster from their tournaments because simply he can do everything but just dies fast, like dying faster really doesn't matter much in this game.

- Very long combos even for low Mana usage. Even worse than getting hit in DBFZ because long commons are occur more often and executed easily.

- No blacklisting players online, no punishment for rage quitters and no reward for getting a player to rage quit.

- No crossplay.

In conclusion:

I'd recommend this game if you want to play this casually with your friends and the price is lower.

As for the veteran players.. trust me you'll have tons of fun first and then get bored and frustrated, especially if your character is a low tier which really makes you have to switch character for a way higher tier character.

Keep a note for any upcoming balance update and patch notes, as this game could really improve, but it would have to change a lot if it really wants to be a good fighting game for the veterans.

Review update:
Their updates come at a very low rate and the update quality isn't even that good unfortunately.

How can there be a King Of Fighters, if I can't find anyone to fight with this current matchmaking?

Most of my time was spent in the training mode, a bit in the arcade mode, and like only 3 matches online and they weren't even great.

Actual fun game but fix the matchmaking issue, and will recommend this game otherwise.

Early Access Review
Tower Unite:

Tower Unite is mainly social virtual world game, you can be social and talk with other players while having a modded model straight out from the Workshop that will work on any server you join on this game, you can play games and arcade which I'll list bellow, you can essentially set up your own condo or join other players' condos.

That's the basic idea of what Tower Unite is.

One of the main things you can do in this game and probably the first you will do is visiting

The Plaza:

The Plaza is filled with many activities to do there.

One of the main things you can do is shopping, you can buy a lot of different types of items, there are items where you can ride 'em around in The Plaza or even in Condos like the Scooters, a Pogo Stick and more.

Another different type are pure decorations which are usable only on your Condo, in the subcategory of decoration items, you can buy a certain decoration item which are the Canvases, Canvases allow to set your own picture by editing the item and putting in the URL of the picture you want.

And there are other types of items you can buy, there are weapons like Fireworks, you can buy a drone that you can control, a pet that follows you and many more!

There are other things you can do in The Plaza, you can go to The Theaters, watch a YouTube video or a SoundCloud music just by requesting the URL of the media you want to play during The Theaters, you can also grab a popcorn and have a snack time with your lads!

Any other activity you can do in The Plaza? Of course! You can go visit The Bowling to play a simple game of Bowling, you can go to The Lasertag area to play basically a virtual paintball.

There's also The Casino, a place where you place your money on the line for a really low reward. I really don't have much to say about The Casino, it's my least favorite activity to do, just do the other activities or play the games, you're guaranteed a higher amount of getting Units.

My favorite activity to visit is The Arcade, you can play in there a ton of different mini-games there to get tickets, challenge yourself to get into the weekly leaderboard. In The Arcade area, there's also a game you can join, which is The Trivia, it's basically just Kahoot with random trivia, going from history and geography, to the geeky genres like Video Games and Movies.

Also and another activity you can do is, every once a while in the server you're in, a mini-game round will start announcing to all the players in the server, there's a mini-game about Shooting Targets, Shooting Balloons, The Fruit Collecting, Chainsaw Massacre..? and even Collecting Booze and get drunk.

My favorites has to be the Chainsaw Massacre..? mini-game, because it's one of the mini-games that you play against other players, in the shooting mini-games for example, it's basically just a single-player mini-game, but you face against the other players just for high-score, I like the shooting mini-games don't get me wrong, but I honestly prefer actually playing against the players in a multiplayer game.

There's many more activities you can do in The Plaza, but one that's worth mentioning is just being social with the players, lots of weird interactions happens, but they're a fun interactions, and that's what matters in this game.

Enough of The Plaza, what else can you do is well, playing the main games.

MiniGolf:

This main game is simple, it's basically just Golf... it's the first one in the list and the highest amount of current players playing it.

MiniGolf is an alright main game, I like it, but I don't feel like in my (may be a controversial) opinion that it deserves to be the highest amount of players playing, it's just Golf and there are much more unique and fun games that I prefer over this main game.

Overall, it's a fun game if you want to play and relax with your lads, perfect game for casual playing.

Ball Race:

You're inside a ball, you (obviously will) have ball movement controls, and you have to pass the level as fast as you can to compete for the high-score, and get the melons for bonus points.

This is a fun game to play, and also can be played as a singleplayer to practice speedrunning. This game is essentially just Super Monkey Ball Series, this game also gets you a lot of units, especially if you're playing in a harder difficulty levels.

Though.. sometimes it feels a bit clunky, not sure if it's supposed to be this way, but the clunkiness (if it exists) is controllable.

This is a fun game yeah, but again, just like MiniGolf and The Arcade, you're not playing against the players, it's just "who can beat the level faster?". There's even in some levels, where a path is blocked, and you have to go to another path to push a button so that first path is unlocked, a player can go for that button while another player is just waiting at the path to get unlocked, and the button is really far away from the unlockable path, that means the player that contributed nothing can beat the level faster than the player that did all the work, but at least you get some bonus units for pushing the button.

Virus:

This is a team-based survival FPS game, when the round starts, all players are survivors except for one that is infected, after some time, one of the players will become the Zombie, and the goal of the Zombie is to infect all the survivors into Zombies.

Fun game, but there are massive cons about this game, one is some of the maps are unbalanced, some of them lean towards the survivors, being the infected while on that map against experienced is no fun, there's nothing you can do unless you get a lucky respawn and manage to infect one or two of 'em.

Another con is what I said above, The Respawn Points, when you kill a zombie, that zombie can respawn in a spawn point that's literally behind you.

Overall, I'd recommend you to play this game at a casual level, don't try to tryhard like I do at this game, this is not the game where tryharding is rewarded, but overall a fun simple game nonetheless.

Zombie Massacres:

Another zombie game? This one's good for Tower Unite.

This is the only co-op main game in Tower Unite, it's twin stick shooter fighting against a hoard of zombies, vampires, hellhounds and a massive Spider Queen as the final boss for every level.

There are classes, your general stuff, like The Medic heals the team, The Survivor focuses on damage, etc...

This game is my 2nd favorite game in Tower Unite, however there are some minor cons, one of them being is the classes are a bit unbalanced, but other than that, it's a really fun game to play with your lads.

Little Crusaders:

This is my favorite game. One player play as the Dragon, and the rest play as the Knights, the Knights have to kill the Dragon by pushing the button on his back, and the Dragon just has to kill every Knight out there.

There's a bird called Birb that spawns after certain amount of time has passed, the Knights can throw the bird to stun the Dragon once, twice to kill.

This is imo the best PvP game here, you can actually improve as the Knight, by knowing how to strafe correctly, like trickstabs in TF2, and as the Dragon by being patient and striking at the right time.

I wish more people played this game, it's the most fun one, and also has the most potential, go give this game a try, it's really worth it and I really love it.

In conclusion:

Tower Unite gets an easy buy this game if you can, even at full price!

There's so many fun things to do, even after 130 hours of playtime!

So get it now or wait for a sale if you basically want to steal this game.

There Is No Game : Wrong Dimension

This is a point and click comedic game, this game is based on the free game called simply There Is No Game back in 2015.

The game takes place inside a computer, and it simply tried to convince the whole "game" that this there's no game, so you go around clicking on stuff, messing with the program, being the actual "game".

Before playing this game, I thought it would just be a game that's just a comedic game filled with references and 4th wall breaking, that's true for the most part, but that's not the whole thing.

Playing the first game back in 2015 that was just a free indie game, this game is actually not near that first game, and that's a good thing. This game is actually filled with a great story, great puzzle thinking that's also satisfying once you solve one, visually great looking game. The story is once again, really great, didn't really expect it in this game, but it got me hooked.

Though, one of the things that I don't really like about this game is the hints, that are just basically cheats. I mean I get it that it's used for a puzzle that you're stuck on for a while, but really ruins that satisfying experience when you solve one. you just need to think outside of the box and make use of everything that the game drops on you and you'll be good to go.

The game is surprisingly to me, is a failed crowdfunding project according to the game, but it's obvious that in the end it really didn't matter, because the game is at a tremendous success. It also could've been a bit better for me, because I've finished the game in just 4 hours, felt like it needed a bit more content, maybe a chapter after chapter 6 would've been a great idea.

Rating: 9/10

I feel like it could've been better, but in my book any game that has 8.5 score or higher is considered a great game.

I recommended you to buy this if it's on your Wishlist, for the average player I'd say it's worth it at the full price tag.
