I got the game on early access and it was alright nothing special, but never expected it to be so good on release, i don't understand what changed maybe the enemy placement? maybe the graphic tweaks that help the game look oldschool? I don't know? 1) It's fun and it has a very nice pace, satisfying gore and damage impact, enemies explode or have various death animations like shooting all around them before dying, 2) level design is not restricted, your mobility help you explore but never feel lost as it's easy to find the next path to progress, 3) Graphics are nostalgic but also very detailed with variant colors and little pixel details 4) It really feels like an adventure as if you explore a corrupted world that used to have it's own history before, 5) Inventory/powerups and weapons to collect as your progress +a nice melee weapon at start
If you are familiar with point and click adventures you will get more of the same puzzles and gameplay, the strongest element of the game is the emotion and organic story progress.
You will back and forth a lot watching your character travel, some backgrounds are really beautiful but long and not very interactable. BUT If you are willing to overlook this frustration the rest of the game is a real treat, 1) a very unique story fully voice acted, 2) charming personalities, 3) morally questionable choices 4) jaw dropping moments and beautiful environments 5) optional tactical turn based arena minigame it's a very unique experience, almost impossible to find another game like this
Visual bugs and gameplay bugs ruining the whole experience, developers never fixed get The Bard's Tale Trilogy instead
I was given sludge life 1 for free on epicgames and had a very pleasant time playing it, now i got 2 to say a big 'THANK YOU!' to the hard working developers, i am sure it will be a pleasant experience once again
Deep Sky Derelicts is a dungeon crawling rogue-like with card deck building RPG(equipments,loot,inventory,classes and some dialogue choices). Best part is the moody art and nice soundtrack, i can easily lose myself into the weird universe of Deep Sky Derelicts. The negative part is the nature of randomness can feel unfair and brutal at times, especially if you play hardcore permanent death but this is optional. Also i think the final reward for beating the game is bugged and i never got it, developers never fixed it or respond.

Isometric DungeonMaster in Space + Like DungeonMaster you choose 4 party members from a group of characters with different stats and small bios + The progress is also similar to DungeonMaster, kill enemies, open chests, find loot, solve puzzles, level up skills + XCOM like isometric aesthetics with light and dark mechanics but real time combat instead of turnbased - Very Clunky Controls and lack of shortcuts, to do anything you need to click a different part of your characters body first: Left Leg/Right Leg = Move Team/Solo, Left Arms/ Right Arm = Attack/Operate, Head = Examine HOLD Head or Left Arm to active Lamp or Flare - Lack of Music - No smooth scrolling I give it 3 stars out of five mostly for the lack of shortcuts
