The game is very obviously inspired by Cultist Simulator. If you like Cultist Simulator, you will probably like this. If you dislike Cultist Simulator, you will probably dislike this.

The main reason why I am giving it a 'no' recommend is that I've run into save corruption issues. It is a bummer when your game save doesn't load correctly, bricking your run.

This is a much better game than I was expecting. The best way to describe it is as a roguelite city builder. Every city you set up has a series of randomly generated goals to complete. Finishing those goals results in winning and ends the city, resulting in permanent resources you can use to upgrade future cities. The design is very good, and the resources are interesting. Well worth the price.

Very unique game. It is an RPG with skills, but almost everything is dialogue based. If you are looking for combat or if you hate reading, this isn't the game for you. The combination of excellent writing and strange but intriguing world reminds me a lot of planescape torment. Honestly, it is probably one of my favorite games from 2019.

Good adventure game, similar to some of the old Sierra games of yore. I would say it takes around eight hours to beat if you are fast, and 10 if you are slow. Good storyline and voice acting. Overall, I was very impressed.

Neat survival game. You play a viking family who crashes on an island, and need to manage your colony to survive. Each character has plenty of numeric attributes to obsess over.

The bulk of the gameplay involves deciding what your colonists are going to do each day. You can have them gathering wood, crafting upgrades to the colony, fishing, cooking, and so on.

There are occasional turn-based battles, which are handled with an AP-type system. The game is probably 90% colony management and conversations with 10% battles, so it isn't a game to get if you are looking for nonstop action. Random battles from exploring have all been very managable, and I haven't seen a loss there. I haven't finished the game, but it looks like the later parts of the story might involve some tough fights.

The art is excellent for a small studio game. The music is functional, but I found it got a little tiresome. I ended up turning it down/off,

The biggest weakness is probably the writing. The dialogue is a bit clunky, and contains too many references for my liking.

The game runs very well on my two year old laptop with integrated graphics. I consider this to be an excellent laptop game due to low hardware requirements and not needing any type of fast reaction time. Good to play while comfortable in bed, or sneakily at work.

Overall, I quite enjoy it, but this isn't a game for everybody. If you enjoy micromanagement and watching numbers go up, you'll probably get addicted.

I like this game quite a bit. You fight bandits, undead, goblins, and orcs in your quest to run a successful mercenary company. The campaign map and equip management is kind of mount and blade style, but the combat is turn-based tactical on a hex grid.

The actual combat system is pretty good too, with different weapons having strengths and weaknesses, along with special abilities. Spears are high accuracy, and can keep enemies at bay. Axes are high damage, and can split shields. Maces can stun, warhammers can heavily damage armor, and so on and so forth.

Overall, it is a lot of fun. I am looking forward to seeing what the developers keep doing with it.

Ridiculously well done little metrodvania-type platformer. It has great graphics and atmosphere, a good soundtrack, and excellent gameplay. It is one of those games that is so polished and good looking you feel like you are playing a piece of art. I highly recommend it.

Cool idea, but it is unfinished abandonware. Don't buy it.
