Good game. Easy to pick up and play for a few minutes at a time. Nice graphics and progression system. I first found this on Android and have finished it several times there.

Disappointing. I was hoping this was a strategy game like Into The Breach. Instead it's a single-character movement-based puzzle. Mechanics of enemy movement are random and unclear. Controller support is very poor. Crashed only a few levels in.

Obviously inspired by Into the Breach, but changes the gameplay and strategy just enough to do its own thing. Fun game. If you like ITB then pick this up.

Great game. Looks simple but has a huge amount of depth. You can play as easy or as hard as you like. You can play as shallow or as deep as you like. Masterful balance of content. On top of all of that, Huw goes out of his way to make the game accessible to blind users with screen readers. What an inspiring indie game tale.

Fun game eventually. At first I found it frustrating, then just as I get the hang of it and can place the car wherever I want, the main story is over in like 2.5 hours. Still, there are lots of events to test skill and those seem much harder. Looking forward to playing those more.

Could do with some QoL: A radar to find those last elusive goals. Ability to rebind all controls. Not needing to visit an event track for it to appear in the menu, they unlock with worlds so use that.

Repetitive and tedious. Save Quit and come back tomorrow, you've got a 45 minute replay to get back to where you were. Sucks to play with a controller.

Good game.

The creators (who are just two people) set out to make a game like Final Fantasy Tactics, Fire Emblem, and Advance Wars without as much menu navigation and samey overload as games filled with armies of generics and two dozen classes.

They have mostly succeeded, with a set of distinct characters and a battle mechanic based around character abilities and summoning additional monsters to the battlefield, but you only get a limited amount of characters and summons per battle so you have to be strategic about what you bring. It's a great balance of being simple and has just enough strategy to be interesting.

The story is fun and engaging enough. There is also beautiful pixel art in battles and menus with higher definition art. The graphics are like playing Tactics Ogre or FFT on the PSP, except at 1080p.

Overall this little indie game has one of my favourite TRPGs and is well worth a look if you're into the genre.

Wonderful. Clever idea, well-done gameplay, enjoyable for Metroidvania enthusiasts and completionists. I played the free version of this and it's great to see it expanded and made even better.

A lady and her injured son are stranded in a ruined city, so despite his illness and her own failing health, she decides to go sightseeing and collect a bunch of postcards telling a vague story of the city in image form. Gameplay is solely exploration, you climb and jump but the character does it all automatically, there's no skill like in Tomb Raider or Prince of Persia. A bit of lazy asset and animation reuse. There should be more than one of the creatures, at least mirror them! Not sure who this game is really intended for, the 4 hours of action is too easy for anyone who's mature enough to understand the story. The price is ridiculous for the length of the game. If you get this for the graphics - and they are pretty nice - pick it up on sale for 75% or more.

Fantastic. The best isometric RPG I've played besides Wasteland 3. Pays obvious tribute to original Fallout and Roadside Picnic without slavishly copying those or making an "XCOM clone" like so many do these days. Really cool 1970s weird science vibe rarely felt elsewhere, similar to Tales From The Loop. Lots to read with top-quality writing. They've obviously put some of the crowdfunding money and profits towards polished translation and grammar. There's a LOT of reading and I only spotted one minor punctuation error. Great engine and interface. Addictive gameplay with lots of side quests. Story choices really make a difference, though I'm not sure there's enough variety in the overall story to offer many replays, and definitely not to go through the game 14 times to get every ending. If you like original Fallout or Wasteland 2/3 then pick this up. I'd definitely buy any RPG this studio makes in future.
