Tokyo Valkyries

A Slay the Spire-inspired roguelite deckbuilder wrapped in heavy anime fanservice, landing "Positive" on a small early sample that likes the card-battling foundation but flags a short, low-replayability story mode and a forced side mini-game with no skip option.

Tower of Time

Tower of Time sends a growing party of champions up a mysterious tower using a pausable, slow-motion combat system built around tactical positioning rather than twitch reflexes. Its story and setting earn real, specific praise, while a large, detailed share of the review sample describes repetitive combat, uneven pacing, and a punishing late-game structural choice that can strand players who didn't build out their full roster.

Town of Salem

A genuinely well-designed hidden-role party game built on 33 distinct characters and a real system of deduction, whose Very Positive standing across more than 30,000 reviews sits alongside a decade-long, remarkably consistent complaint about an arbitrary, poorly-explained ban system that has outlasted at least one change of publisher.

TRADESMAN: Deal to Dealer

A cheap, cheerfully-written Early Access merchant RPG whose title promises trading and whose actual difficulty curve punishes it — this review's full read of every English-language negative review finds a consistent, two-year-old complaint that carrying trade goods is what gets a caravan killed, alongside a smaller but serious cluster of reports of full system crashes.

Travellers Rest

A cozy tavern-keeping RPG that hooked players with a tight, creative innkeeping loop in 2020 — six years and a reported studio handover later, a large and specific share of its own veteran reviewers say that original focus has been diluted by farming, mining and Stardew-shaped scope creep.

Trinity Fusion

A sci-fi roguelite built around a genuinely inventive parallel-universe fusion mechanic, praised for its art and animation, undercut by controls a large share of reviewers describe as unresponsive and floaty next to genre benchmark Dead Cells, plus real progression-blocking bugs that outlasted the patch meant to fix them.

Trove

A voxel-building MMO welded to an ARPG loot treadmill, still running eleven years after Trion Worlds made it and three community letters a month after gamigo took over. The question in 2026 isn't whether Trove survives — it clearly does — it's how much of it is still a game and how much is a storefront.

Unbound Souls

A short, wave-based action RPG where clearing encounters opens up a small world to explore, with a light crafting and leveling system underneath simple, smooth combat and a modest story, praised by its small early audience for a polished, enjoyable if grindy few hours.

Underchoice

A tense, Papers Please-meets-Fallout Shelter bunker management game about screening survivors and rationing resources through a nuclear winter, praised for its striking aesthetic and tight pacing, but criticized by a substantial share of reviewers for RNG-heavy runs that can feel unwinnable and a content loop that thins out after a few playthroughs.

UnderMine

A polished, Zelda-inspired roguelike dungeon crawler about a peasant sent to investigate mysterious earthquakes, Very Positive across more than 4,300 reviews for its charm and presentation — undercut by an extremely consistent complaint that individual runs feel repetitive due to limited item impact, alongside a grindy meta-progression system several reviewers describe as padding rather than genuine depth.

Utawarerumono: Past and Present Rediscovered

Aquaplus's confirmed finale to the Utawarerumono saga, a story-driven turn-based JRPG following Oshtor and returning fan-favourite characters through a new adventure in Yamato, Very Positive across 286 reviews for its music and refined Action Ring battle system — with a real, specific complaint that its long, linear story feels padded and undercuts the ending fans of a 20-plus-year series were hoping for.

Vindictus

Sixteen years on, Vindictus still has the best melee combat any free-to-play MMO has ever shipped — and a progression system that now fast-forwards you past almost every reason to use it. Nexon is still updating it monthly in 2026, which makes the state of the middle game harder to explain, not easier.

Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr

A grimdark Diablo-like that launched always-online and unfinished in 2017, was widely credited by its own players with turning itself around after a specific 2019 overhaul patch, and didn't drop the always-online requirement that dogged its reputation until a dedicated offline mode arrived nearly seven years later.

WARSAW

A Darkest Dungeon-shaped tactical RPG about surviving the 1944 Warsaw Uprising, sold as a premium game in October 2019 — and, four years later, converted in place into a free game under a different publisher's name, with a chunk of its own systems stripped out and some recent buyers reporting they couldn't get a refund.

WARSHIFT 2

A solo-developed RTS that lets you drop out of the top-down view and fight alongside your army as a third-person hero unit — a genuinely distinctive hook undercut by a campaign that arrived late in development and a handful of real, independently reported bugs.

Weapon Shop Fantasy

A year before Moonlighter made "run a shop by day, loot a dungeon by night" a genre unto itself, Weapon Shop Fantasy tried the same dual-loop pitch from the other direction — stay behind the counter, send your staff out adventuring, and craft what they bring back into gear to sell. The idea holds up better than its rough edges do.
