Dungeon of the Endless - (2014 game) image

A semi-roguelike tower defence-ish game.

Utterly impossible. Doesn’t make a lick of sense. Unlimited waves of stuff, for some reason. Can’t build enough, the resource limitations are obscene.

So cute! Whenever I play a game with a little fox type thing, I will always think of Okami – (2006 game).

I ended up getting stuck at the winter/summer level, trying to go east with the spirit. I guess I’m the first person to ever play this, ever.

It really looks great.

VueScan supports the CanoScan LiDE 120, which I tested it with.

A host of features to manage processes, such as changing CPU priority. It has lots of automated magic for system happiness. I use it for its control of the CPU’s power profile, making this the equivalent of Linux‘s cpufrequtils.

Highly recommended.

Well-polished, and with solid mechanics, this is recommended for people who would, at a glance, like this sort of brawler. Ultimately, it’s like Diablo 3 – (2012 game). While a clone in many ways, it’s quite a bit more fun and simple, with subtle extras that make it at least visually unique.

This would be great good, if it were free. It’s just not for me, and I think my tastes have been changing lately.
