What could have been nice little game with rudementary mechanics and overly melodramatic story is utterly destroyed by the fact that each route ends in "boss", and they all are designed by a complete imbecile.
At least out of 3, pub fight feels "fair" (except for absurdly large health pool) until you realize that there is an achievment for finishing it hitless ... and you have to take a hit to gain ability to fight back.
Finishing temple without killing any npc's (which you need for one of the endings) is outright impossible since all of your attacks are AoE and there is giant horde running at you.
Until this circus is patched out, stay away.

Oh look, best girl got her own game !
And Arata must've been feeding her something rather nutritious,

Why can't i have best girl be dummy thicc in 4k ?
Is this too much to ask ?

SHADE LIVES ! *STOMP-STOMP*

It's a brotato but on rails (literally) shooter.
Extremely barebones, but after Jet Girls and Samurai JK definitely step in the right direction.
Wish there were at least some alternative outfits for the protagonist or turret skins but hey, at this price still worth it.
Fingers crossed for madlads to pump out spiritual successor to Bullet Girls at some point.

Bought to play as legally distinct ex-cultist undead cowboy, stayed for geriatric spider-man.
Fun for it's price and does not overstay it's welcome.

Alright, so what's going to happen if you stitch together corpse of Garret the thief and Caleb of Blood's fame ?
Ill tell you what'l happen :
A crazed zombie lunatic that runs around the place, stabs people with sharp objects, steals everything that isn't nailed down,
throws sticks of dynamite and molotov cocktails everywhere and chuckles maniacally all the way through (but quietly enough not to be spotted).
And then he puts high caliber bullet through his creator's chest ...

Truly, a feat of necromancy almost as impressive as raising zombie so ugly, that it shellshocks it's creator into running to Antarctica just by trying to strike a conversation.
A feat of necromancy almost as funny as raising zombie pdf armed with lolifier beam, that blasts it's creator twice just to be sure.

You like those stealth-action games with very light rpg mechanics that some people like to call "immersive sims" ?
Well, this is one of the better ones.
Just be warned, it uses it's old west setting in a way to hit you with "yes, it takes 10~ish seconds to reload SAA, so make sure you have a knife in your boot", so don't be surprised if your axe will have higher bodycount than all firearms combined. And then again, it's more convinient to loot the bodies that aren't 40 meters away.
You're undead kleptomaniac after all.

- starts expansion
- hol's up, is that a Redd Pepper ?
- voodoo you please say the line ?
"I AM THE LORD OF DEADSIDE"
- peak fanservice achieved, might actually start drinking with snakes after that one

Jokes aside, it's good.
New items allow for some really goofy setups and new enemies have fun gimmicks. Map is so densely packed that nearly every tree stump has something for you to find.
Price might be a little bit too high though, seeing as how it's essentially 1/3 of the base game for 3/5 price.

Despite looking like genuine project of passion game is in too dire of a state to recommend it to anyone.

It may look like 3d beat'em-up character action game, it is not. It's a shooting game, and extremely janky one at that.
And it has no kb+mouse support. Yes, shooter without mouse aiming, good start.
Movement has very strange weight/inertia that makes jumping/dodging and even turning around feel like you are road roller on ice.
Light melee attacks have absolutely tiny hitbox and due to abformentioned turning issue if you turn your camera and attack, it would "land" not where you looking, but where you were ~1 sec ago.
Heavy melee is even worse. It has innate gimmick, that it has some i-frames at the startup and if you take damage during that period attack gets significant damage boost. But here's the funny part : getting hit by any melee and some shots will push you either back or to the side. Couple that with comedically small hitbox and "boosted" heavy melee will only ever land once in a blue moon.
Ranged weapons aren't immune to jank either. Some can infinitely stunlock it's victim. Bots being the way they are may do it sometimes, player on the other hand ... Oh and "tractor beam" (grappling hook) has exact same disfunction paralysis has in Senran Kagura PBS : as in it only does what it supposed to do if target stands perfectly still. Otherwise it's just a free taxi to the other end of the room.

Enemies are just bots with access to same weapons player has. "Regular" ones look like either green, yellow or blue android, "miniboss" is identical droid dude but slightly taller and can also be pink or black and "bosses" are just player bots.

There are also no levels. At all. there is a single square room plastered bunch of times with identical corridors in between. Not even different lighting or something to distinguish stages.

Then there is "customization"
Let's start with the worst one. NO RGB PICKER IN A MECH GAME. instead you have to farm rare pickup with preset colors, like it is Destiny or some other westoid trash. just ... slow clap to the developer on that one.
You have several shoulder pads and suits.
They all have exact same stats, but you have to upgrade them separately for some reason.
Stats are a mess, "reduced overheat duration" reduces energy regeneration delay and vice-versa.

At the moment of writing this game is nothing more than a shallow proof of concept. THERE IS NO GAME. No actual distinct enemies to fight, no interesting stages, no nothing.
Oh and protagonist is mute for some reason. Unlike other characters she speaks exclusively in subtitles like it's Solid JJ skit or something.

This feels like an extreme slapstick version of MW4: Mercenaries.
Why yes, i would like to be jrpg slime piloting garbage mech that makes Megas XLR or Ork Stompa look downright reasonable and participate in televised bloodsports, who wouldn't ?
Unfortunately mech customization is rather basic, limited to body+legs+2 arms+utility module and colouring them. So don't expect strapping laser cannons to the knees like you would in some other titles. But at the same time what other game allows you to pilot gas stove on a unicycle dual-wielding cavalry saber and a sledgehammer ? That alone makes it more than worth it.

- Be a goblin
- March with your fellow countrymen into some forest in a middle of nowhere
- Arrive at suspicious clearing
- There is a hedge-maze shaped like bunch of rude symbols
- It's full of landmines
- Walls are prickly and hurt
- There must be a way around it
- Hear your company necromancers scream in confusion and terror as gravestones just float away on their own
- You' are now knee-deep in a swamp
- There is a maniac in a pointy hat, tweaked out on caffeine shooting blunderbuss at 900 rpm
- You look back and see your king impaled on a piece of bamboo with two dozen stab wounds

YOU GOT GNOMED

Fairly short & easy game with a lot of soul and very thick atmosphere.
If you
- want game where almost every single monster has unique traits that make you consider your approach
- tired of ARPG's for "modern audience" made with sole intent of you grinding same stage over and over hoping for number to go up
- like resource management aspect of older survival horrors and shooters
- want to play something that reminds you of Diablo 1 or Night Stone, but is actually better
then get this thing, it is well worth it.

Also barrel mimics.
I love them even more than chair mimics from Bloodstained.
