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.

Slash a things and miss a lot. Get hit a lot. Uninstall.

What a shit fighting system. With a fundamental flaw as glaring as this, there’s no way in hell I’ll play this.

Like scrabble with words, assemble phrases to do varying degrees of insult-damage.

This definitely should appeal to some people, but it doesn’t appeal to me. I think this would be especially attractive to people with an Android phone.

An awkward dungeon management game, with walls you can’t dig out, rooms you build but don’t know how much of or what size, and an interface that could only be inspired by a 1980s DOS game.

Absolutely not recommended.

A tower defense game, but with tanks and more upgrading.

I tried the demo and didn’t give it much of a chance. For example, I didn’t customize units. I prefer the more sandbox-style of Gratuitous Space Battles.

A top-down shooter with superpowers.

An awkward and unforgiving game that’s zoomed in too far to be fun.

  • 2020-06-30 — The forum seems to have been dead since 2017-08 or later.

    • No announcement was archived, and no replacement was found on a cursory look.

A combined first-person shooter and tower-defense game.

Seems pretty cute, but I hate tower defense games which have multiple entrances.

I’m not sure how to describe this game. It’s an oldschool oldschool point-and-click game.

I think I would have liked this back in the day, but these days I find a bunch of the mechanics and gameplay too frustrating to deal with.
