Crimson Oath Review: A Scrappy Souls-Like With Real Combat Problems

Crimson Oath is a $14.99 parry-focused souls-like from a small indie team, and while a vocal group of players praise its Dark Souls-inspired level design and nostalgic combat feel, a larger, more detailed body of English-language reviews describes broken parry timing, unbalanced enemy aggression, and a single-weapon design that undercuts its own ambitions.

Dragon Ruins II Review: A Dungeon Crawler for Tired People, Done Right

Graverobber Foundation's automated-combat dungeon crawler expands on the original with quests, equipment, and passive skills. Reviewers consistently praise its atmosphere and soundtrack, while disagreeing sharply over whether its automatic combat -- and its late-game difficulty curve -- actually works.

Hovercrafts x Nihilism

Hovercrafts x Nihilism is a $6.00 solo-developed boss-rush game from developer soomr, blending Shadow of the Colossus's structure with Evangelion's visual language, and this review's small Positive sample praises genuinely memorable boss encounters and atmosphere while repeatedly and specifically flagging control and camera problems that make aiming and steering an ongoing fight.

Spinny Dungeon

A slot-machine roguelike that fuses Luck Be a Landlord's reel-spinning tension with dungeon-crawler resource management, only to run out of content before its own systems get to shine.

The Night Market

A genuinely well-regarded text-based interactive novel with real fans of its writing and world, undercut by an undisclosed cliffhanger ending — this is Book 1 of an unfinished series, a fact the store page doesn't state plainly — plus real grammar errors and a romance structure some players didn't sign up for.

Three Kingdoms Part One: Battle of Zhuo County Review: Gorgeous Art, Rocky Launch

Three Kingdoms Part One: Battle of Zhuo County tells the opening chapter of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei's story through a striking ink-wash art style and a scavenge-and-gamble progression loop, but a buggy, unusually short launch has split its review sample down the middle.

GRIME II

GRIME II is a $27.99 sequel to Clover Bite's 2021 body-horror metroidvania, and this review's Very Positive sample (737 of 805 reviews) praises a huge, ambitious world and satisfying combat, while a vocal minority mourns a tonal shift away from the original's grim solemnity.

Solitaire Battle

Solitaire Battle is a $4.99 roguelike deckbuilder from solo developer diabolodev that turns Tri-Peaks solitaire into a card-battling roguelite, and this review's small Positive sample is close to unanimous that the hybrid is genuinely addictive and a real bargain, tempered by scattered complaints about dense rules explanations and technical slowdown.

STIGMA: Unnamed Review: A Free Reverse-Rhythm Roguelike With a Buggy Launch

STIGMA: Unnamed is a free-to-play semi-auto action roguelike that fuses reverse-rhythm combat with a dark-futurism agent-recruitment premise, and its launch-day Mostly Positive review sample loves the music and concept while flagging serious hold-note bugs, broken achievement tracking, and a near-nonexistent tutorial.

The Weeping Swan: Ten Days of the City's Fall

A tragic historical visual novel set during the fall of the Ming dynasty, praised for its art, music, and unflinching history, but sold short at launch by an unfinished English translation and divisive choices about its supporting cast that the developer has since publicly apologised for.
