human mental torture experiment disguised as a video game you too can experience real anguish for the mere price of a handful of dollars on sale

it's like if olimar had a son and so we get british pikmin 2

a fine enough game. it does use the "idea" of metal slug (balls to the walls all the time) in a tactics format somewhat decently well. however with that said it goes against the "usuals" of the tactics format, meaning playing defensively. if you play defensively in this game, you die. a lot! a whole lot of dying.

the biggest oddity of the offense-focused gameplay is that you kind of need to move your units *then* attack, as opposed to the tradtional tactics gameplay of playing very defensively long term. this game needs you to move your units for combos, as aggressively as possible, then get the combo offs, and reap the rewards which are usually significant damage mitigation and adrenaline for special moves.

it's a little weird and somewhat demanding, i don't think i'll ever go for the true ending, but i think it's at least interesting, even if most people will bemoan not getting a new, actual metal slug title, especially considering the debacles of the IPs after they stopped making traditional metal slug games. for a lot of fans, the art style (even if good) in this game will probably not please them as it kind of goes against the intentional design of the older games.

price is a bit of a sticking point, you can tell effort went into this, but at that price point especially in the vast market of roguelikes where you have a lot of competition, i can imagine it will turn a lot of people off. still think it could be worth it for people on sale, at the very least

i could go on for like 10 paragraphs singing this game's praise but instead i'll list the only downside : there isn't more of it. probably one of the better racing games made in modern times. controls insanely well, every mistake feels personal because it *is* my fault.

you are missing out if you aren't at least thinking about playing it

the game is fine. the gameplay is fine. but i'm going to give it the big ole thumbs up because there's probably another million games you should be playing over this one.

tower base defense rts mix idk how to describe this game, definitely one of the games from that era of indies i think aged the best. campaign is relatively short, there's an extra dlc if you want more, and the game isn't too expensive. not a bad value for your money for what it's worth, but could use a couple quality of life things like hotkeying items.

a decent way to kill an afternoon, but most people would probably rather play the sequel

british pikmin

i like digimon i like that i can ride groundlocomon the story is ok to decent and the lore dumps are sick we are so digiback

Zagreus is very funny and that alone is worth the price of admission

no real need to sugar coat it : evil empire did some work for dead cells dlc. it shows here. i don't think it's a bad thing, because they clearly learned a thing or two, since rogue prince of persia blends in some pretty solid platforming and great controls to an action roguelike.

it definitely pulls a bit ahead because of that fact - a lot of 2d plaforming roguelikes merely have it as a backdrop and do not really put much thought in the design. not the case here, lots of consideration went into that, especially since your moveset and the platforming can play into combat a lot.

the only really sticking point is the price point : a steep 30 USD. for what's on offer, it's relatively fair - the game offers quality both in terms of visuals and gameplay. the problem is that it faces competition for lower-priced offerings in the same genre, of which the players might not really care about what this game does well or better than the rest. i still think it's worth your consideration, but at the same time i would understand preferring to invest your money (and subsequently time) on other games in the genre.
