A roguelike game with a tactical side to it.
I like it, but only played a little of it as this sort of game doesn’t seem to grab me any more. Definitely recommended for fans of this style of game. Don’t be put off by its graphics. Like a good book, the pictures are in your head.

A tower defence game with space ships.
Highly customizable and extremely fun, but with poor replayability. Worth a bit of coin if you’re a fan of tower defence games.
I didn’t take notes from back then. All I have are some saved fleets. Some of the game gets extremely hard, especially with technology restrictions. I fucking hate having those restrictions. This was a big downer to playing all the way through.
Bonus points for the author throwing away all sense of storyline. Fuck all that shit, I just want gameplay. I’m not joking.
I never tried its expansion Parasites.
Followed by Gratuitous Space Battles 2

This “game” is a piece of shit. Avoid it unless you’re a big fan of Borderlands. Even then, you should probably avoid it.

I can’t describe it without spoiling it’s best part.
I happen to like boring 8-bit games, so the initial moments of this game are just fine for me. I stuck it out, because I knew a little bit about what was to come. Even though I saw it coming, I was really moved by the introduction to “the game proper”. Holy shit.
Great game, I think.. but I just don’t get it. Treasure maps make no sense. Secrets are nigh impossible. The world map is hopeless. I gave it a good shot, based on old hype, but no joy.

A Connect Four-like game, with some goofyness akin to the various Tetris remakes.
Boring as sin. The free flash game from a decade ago is the exact same thing.

A terrible FPS semi-roguelike game.
Procedurally-generated levels. Extraordinarily unfairly unnecessarily hard. Not fun at all.
I ended up getting a refund.

A top-down hack-and-slash game based on the Gauntlet franchise but with different controls, abilities and general gameplay.
This seemed like a good idea at the time, but turned out to be a pretty shitty experience. Not recommended.

Oh hell, it opens with an unskippable playable cutscene. Intolerable.

I’ve played this exact same thing as a free flash game. Except the controls were a hell of a lot better with that one.

Well. I had heard good things about this game, and since it was on sale I thought I’d pick it up.
I regret it.
