Gorgeous little puzzle game.
Very charming, utterly delightful.
Easily one of the best free games I played.
This game has the "limited profile features" tag (due lack of popularity according to developer) while there is plenty of scam games (Banana kind of game) that are "verified".
Really?
What a shame what people choose to play these days.

A modern classic.
It's been more than four years since I started playing this masterpiece, and I must say that I had never tried a deckbuilder game before sts.
This game inspired a whole new sub genre of games, and its on my favs of all time.
Super addictive, super fun.
Super replayability, super modes & game customization.
Super relentless, super ruthless.
Superb gameplay.
Top notch design of decks.
Well balanced, regular updates, support for MODs.
And as if all this were not enough, all type of content updates (new characters, new cards, etc) were always included on base game for FREE!
Yeah no crap or P2w dlcs, not taking advantage of the player base. Always offering succulent discounts!
Some devs who were inspired by this game, should likewise be inspired by the company's guidelines aswell.
Bravo for the game and bravo for the devs!

P.S. Silent for life!

In this short walking simulator with some peculiar mechanics you play Paul Prospero, a detective.
What makes this game unique is the way it tells the intriguing plot.
There is an unexpected twist at the end, everything closes perfectly in a very original way.
Then you realize who Paul Prospero really is and what's all about.
Graphics are beautiful, environments aswell, but almost empty.
Difficult to say whether its worth current full price.
Maybe if you don't mind about game being rather short and with low difficulty it's probably worth it.
If you like story-driven games, this one will surprise you and will not disappoint you.

Skyscraper Crush Saga meets 2048.
If you like math this game will suit you well.
A nice idea, its worth trying Dream One.
I dunno if its fruitful to get the full game, anyway you can check it by yourself since this one is free.

Most important thing that you should know about this game, the inherence, is that it produces permanent brain damage.
Brutal.

Cat.
You play as cat.
Devs definitely knows about cats.
They probably have cats.
All of them.
I can't lick my ass. Besides that, everything is great.

Un joven llamado Alan está locamente enamorado de una piba llamada Diana.
En realidad ella se ha acostado con media ciudad de Londres, con todos menos con él.
Como dijo Oscar Wilde la diferencia entre un amor eterno y un capricho, es que el capricho dura más.
Así que está encaprichado.
Desesperado, loco de amor, ya no sabe que hacer, un amigo le da la dirección de un viejo raro, que tiene fama de alquimista, que vive en un altillo. Entonces va, le presenta la tarjeta, Oh.. Mister Alan dice el alquimista mientras arroja sobre la mesa a la tarjetita como si fuera un objeto pringoso y sucio.
-Mister Alan....
-Espero, espero que sea cierto lo que me han dicho, que usted tiene toda clase de pócimas extraordinarias.
-Ah si (interrumpe el alquimista) Yo solamente vendo cosas de efectos extraordinarios.
Por ejemplo, fíjese en esta botella que tengo acá. Este liquido es incoloro, inodoro e insípido, parece agua.
Sin embargo, basta una cucharadita de té, una sola, para tratar especialmente a una persona.
Se mezcla con el café, el té o cualquier otra bebida, y la persona nada nota... tampoco quedan rastros en la autopsia.
-¿Pero que me está diciendo? Eso... eso ¡es un veneno!
-Yo no emplearía una palabra tan fea como veneno. Llamémoslo detergente, es un "detergente de personas".
-Perdóneme, pero no no no se de que me está hablando... eh no, no, no me gusta el lenguaje que usted usa.
-No, perdóneme, soy un viejo cínico, no me tiene que tomar en serio.
No hay como darle a las personas una buena dosis de lo que quieren, para que después quieran otra cosa, aunque sea más cara. Por ejemplo mi detergente de personas lo cobro muy caro.
Esa cucharadita de té que yo le dije, que es suficiente para tratar a cualquiera, la cobro 5000 dólares, ni un centavo menos.
-Pero yo no quiero nada de eso, más bien busco el polo opuesto, todo lo contrario... busco el amor.
-Ya sé que usted no venia a buscar eso, mi estimado mister Alan. Mi filosofía de la vida es la misma que la de los narcotraficantes: a la primera te la regalo, a la segunda te la vendo.
La gente eventualmente compra lo más caro, aunque deba ahorrar. Eh.. ya entenderá, no se preocupe.
Quiero que sepa que mis pócimas de amor son terriblemente efectivas.
Figúrese, basta hacerle beber una pequeña dosis a una chica para que ella cambie totalmente de manera de ser, de la indiferencia pasa a la adoración.
Si le gustan las fiestas, a partir de ahora las va a detestar. Va a tener miedo de que en alguna fiesta usted conozca a otra chica y se la robe.
No va a querer que se ponga frente a las corrientes de aire por miedo a que usted se enferme, ¿usted fuma?
-Uh eh medio atado por día.
-Lo va a obligar a dejar de fumar.
Bastará que usted llegue un minuto tarde a casa para que ella se aterre.
Solamente va a desear en el mundo estar a solas con usted.
Se interesará por todos sus pensamientos, donde ha estado, que hizo, a que hora vuelve.
Nunca se va a separar de usted. Jamás le concederá el divorcio.
Será muy insistente.
-Eso quiero yo, ¡ese es el verdadero amor! que piense solo en mi.
-Oh va a pensar solamente en usted.
-Perdóneme que habla usted tanto, la pócima de amor cuanto ¿cuanto vale? espero que no sea tan caro como la eh el...
-El detergente de personas no, ese vale 5000 dólares, ni un dolar menos.
No, mis pócimas de amor, como le dije antes, las cobro mucho mas baratas, es prácticamente gratis... la cobro 1 dolar.
-¡¿1 dolar?! Por esta maravilla, por esta fuente de felicidad ¿me va a cobrar 1 dolar?
-Si, a la primera te la regalo.
-Muchas gracias señor, muchas gracias,(le dice Alan luego de pagarle) usted me ha dado la felicidad, la felicidad que tanto busqué... Gracias nuevamente y Adiós.
-Eh nunca utilice la palabra Adiós, digamos más bien hasta la vista... hasta pronto, señor Alan.



Transcripción de la adaptación del cuento El cazador de John Collier por Alberto Laiseca.

This game has great potential and I would have sincerely used the neutral option, if it were available, to say whether I recommend it or not.
I never played games based on deck construction until a few years ago when I came across sts and was fascinated by it.
So when I found this game I immediately decided to try it out.
I really wanted to fit in well with this title.
The art is very well done and the fight sequences are great. The concept is very good.
It could be a great title but it ends up failing in some aspects that are essential.
The difficulty is high but not bestial at all, in 8 hours I managed to finish the chapter available in 6 occasions, and that considering that during first hours I didn't know very well what I was doing because the tutorial is quite poor. In other words, my criticisms are not focused on the difficulty of the game.
Essentially this is a deck building game and that, in my opinion, is where it fails.
To begin with, it would be a good idea to add a section where all the cards are listed to be consulted by the player outside a match. Devs, not all players are centennial)
If the idea is that the player discovers cards as he goes along, that would not be a problem because it could be hidden in the list until the player discovers them.
Now, the initial deck is 15 cards , plus one that provides the improvement we started with, that is 16. Too many cards to start with, even more considering the few opportunities that exist throughout the level of remove cards and even more if there are no cards to move the deck.
Throughout 8 hours, only in one playthrough I found a card that allows to move the deck (draw three cards) and it exhausted when using it. There are attack, defence, movement, momentum, combo and some kind of power cards but "loop deck" cards is almost nil. This makes the game monotonous in some way. Because there are no different probabilities and combinations, just play the cards you get in your hand.
Another aspect is that game is somewhat unbalanced.
Several levels prior to the boss are far more difficult than the boss himself.
The events section needs a lot of work, some of them are decidedly bad.
Another thing that struck me about some events is the "bad luck" I've had with the odds:
9 events (5 75% in favour/25% against and 4 66%/33%) and only 1 satisfactory result.
Some curses are ridiculous like those that increase the value of ALL attack, movement, etc cards by 1.
That's if it seems too much, I mean just replace it with something like, you shot yourself while you were cleaning your gun and you died or something like that.
Chances of customizing your deck and the resources you have to do so are very limited. Of course you have the chance to add a card after each fight, but after taking a few you find a deck of 20+ cards, which means that the card you may be needing could be up to 2 hands later. And as I mentioned before, the cards to move waht you have in current hand are practically nil.
And finally another aspect is duration. The game is this chapter and 4 more like it? Of course it has a great playability but seems very short.
It's a shame but I can't recommend it.

Western 1849 Reloaded is a western "on-rails shooter", cartoon style, little game.
You can take cover & move between 3/4 different spots whilst shoot bad guys, across up to 5 maps.
Until here nothing new, but what is very cool its perks system & how its works, giving the game high re-playability.
As you kill bandits you will earn gold, which will be used to buy equipment and improve your weapons.
Weapons? you'll find the 3 classic weapons of Old West: revolver, shotgun & rifle, besides explosives.

THE GOOD:
- Nice cartoon art style & funny in-game sounds.
- Well designed levels.
- Solid designed mechanics which include player progression, equipment, perks & upgrades.
- Good difficulty level (from easy to insane), well balanced.
- As I said before perks system, which consists of 50 cards, most of which you have to unlock, makes replaying game much more enjoyable as the gameplay changes quite a bit depending on which cards you get (you get one after clean every enemy wave)
- RAGE mode is fun.
- Cheap game at full price.

THE BAD:
- Short.
- Gameplay can become very repetitive quickly.

THE UGLY:
- Only five levels, and you have to go through them again and again as you progress.


Having played some games of the genre, I would say that in terms of price and quality this is one of best games available, although it's quite short.




Western 1849 Reloaded es un pequeño juego del tipo "on-rails shooter" del Viejo Oeste en estilo caricatura.
Puedes ponerte a cubierto y moverte entre 3/4 puntos diferentes mientras disparas a los malos, a lo largo de hasta 5 mapas. Hasta aquí nada nuevo, pero lo que es muy interesante es su sistema de perks y cómo funciona, dándole al juego una gran rejugabilidad.
A medida que vas matando bandidos ganarás oro, que utilizarás para comprar equipo y mejorar tus armas.
Armas? Encontrarás las 3 armas clásicas del Viejo Oeste: revolver, escopeta y rifle, además de explosivos.


EL BUENO:
- Bonito arte estilo caricatura y divertidos sonidos en el juego.
- Niveles bien diseñados.
- Sólida mecánica de diseño que incluye progresión del jugador, equipo, ventajas y mejoras.
- Buen nivel de dificultad (de fácil a insano), bien equilibrado.
- Como dije antes el sistema de perks, que consiste en 50 cartas, la mayoria de las cuales debes ir desbloqueando, hace mucho más amena la rejugabilidad ya que el juego cambia varía bastante según que cartas consigas (ganas una después de cada ola de enemigos terminada)
- El modo RAGE es divertido.
- Juego barato a precio regular.

EL MALO:
- Corto.
- El juego puede volverse muy repetitivo rápidamente.

EL FEO:
- Sólo cinco niveles, y tienes que pasartelos una y otra vez a medida que progresas.


Habiendo jugado algunos juegos del género, diría que en términos de precio y calidad este es uno de los mejores juegos disponibles, aunque es bastante corto.

To be honest, I don't even know how I ended up buying this game.
It's not something that usually happens to me, barely I would say.
I think I got it at a very big discount, 90% if I remember correctly.
I still don't remember what made me decide to buy it... it's a mystery.
Mystery. That's basically what this point & click adventure is all about.
First of all to say that the interface of game is really horrendous, it becomes very difficult to get used to, even after playing for a couple of hours.
Graphics and ambient sound accompany well the development of the story which is the key of the game and what gives it the label of " horror ".
You are a cop who ventures into an abandoned facility without knowing very well what you are looking for or what you will find.
As we gather information and solve puzzles we gain access to certain information that allows us to try to reconstruct what happened there, which is undoubtedly what keeps us tied to progress in the game.
The puzzles. The first puzzle you encounter in the game is a mathematical progression. I personally love this kind of problem, where you have to take pencil and paper and do the math. It looked promising... Unfortunately, the puzzles that follow take other directions. Some are really very complicated or involve spending too much time using trial and error or just wandering around. That's why sooner or later (sooner rather than later) you'll end up looking for a guide to help you move forward.
Soon after you start play, a tense atmosphere is generated, which grows as you go along, wanting to know what happened. It's well achieved but it stays there, and when you finally finish the game all that tension leads to ambivalence... I don't think there are any conclusive elements to be able to put forward a hypothesis of what happened there. Okay, I'm not a fan of open endings, but still, let's say, this is a too-too-open ending... and that leaves you with a bittersweet feeling...
In other words, you deny with Ui in order to progress in the story; you use a guide in order to progress in the story and in the end the story.....the story? I don't know.
I really find myself in the dichotomy of whether or not to recommend this game... a neutral thumb would come in handy.
I recommend it because of the tension and especially the mystery that this game generates.
Mystery.


Para ser honesto no se como ni por que terminé comprando este juego.
No es algo que me sucede habitualmente, casi nunca diría.
Creo que lo agarré con un descuento muy grande, del 90%, si mal no recuerdo.
Aún así no me acuerdo que fue lo que me decidió a adquirirlo... es un misterio.
Misterio.
De eso se trata básicamente esta aventura point & click.
Antes que nada decir que la interfaz del juego es realmente horrenda, se hace muy difícil acostumbrarse, incluso luego de estar jugando por un par de horas.
Gráficos y sonido ambiente acompañan bien al desarrollo de la historia que es el gancho del juego y lo que le da la etiqueta de "terror".
Eres un policía que incursiona en una facilidad abandonada sin saber muy bien que buscas o que vas a encontrar.
A medida que vamos recogiendo información y resolviendo puzzles ganamos acceso a cierta información que nos permite tratar de reconstruir lo que sucedió alli, que sin dudas es lo que nos mantiene atados a progresar en el juego.
Los puzzles. El primer puzzle con el que te encuentras en el juego es una progresión matemática. Personalmente me encantan este tipo de problemas, en los cuales tienes que tomar lápiz y papel y hacer cuentas. Se veía prometedor... Lamentablemente los puzzles que le siguen toman otras direcciones. Algunos son realmente muy complicados o implican dedicar demasiado tiempo usando prueba y error o simplemente deambulando de un lado al otro.
Es por eso que tarde o temprano (mas temprano que tarde) terminarás recurriendo a una guía para poder avanzar.
Al poco tiempo de estar jugando se genera un ambiente de tensión, que va creciendo a medida que avanzas, queriendo saber que es lo que pasó. Está bien logrado pero se queda en eso, y cuando finalmente terminas el juego toda esa tensión desemboca en la ambivalencia.... Estimo que no hay elementos conclusivos para poder esgrimir una hipótesis de lo que sucedió alli. Esta bien, no soy un fan de los finales abiertos, pero igualmente, digamos, este es un final demasiado-demasiado abierto... y eso te deja con una sensación agridulce....
Dicho de otra forma, reniegas con la Ui para progresar en la historia; recurres a una guía para progresar en la historia y al final la historia..... la historia? No lo se.
Realmente me encuentro en la dicotomía si recomendar o no este juego... un pulgar neutro me vendría como anillo al dedo.
Lo recomiendo por la tensión y sobretodo el misterio que genera este juego.
Misterio.
