A 2D old-school RPG about a chosen "Maiden" fighting off invaders, openly modeled on a pair of older budget RPGs and stripped of the achievements and trading cards those originals had — read here through two one-line player reviews that flatly disagree about whether the game is even playable.
4 / 10
A genuinely inventive two-character roguelike deckbuilder that spent two years earning real enthusiasm in Early Access, then went silent — the developer's own news feed shows a "temporary suspension of regular updates" posted in May 2022 that was never followed up on, and the word "Abandoned" is now the single most common one-word review title in its history.
4 / 10
A historically important roguelike finally gets an official English release, undermined by input and text-box delays severe enough to make the game feel worse than the 1993 original it's remastering.
4 / 10
Read review of Dragon Quest Heroes: Torneko's Mystery Dungeon -Classic HD- Review
A two-years-in-development EarthBound, Undertale, and Omori-inspired horror-tinged RPG about a boy searching a dark dreamworld for his missing sister, whose overwhelmingly Very Positive review sample praises its atmosphere, art, and mystery-driven story, tempered by real complaints -- echoed even in glowing reviews -- about unfair, under-telegraphed combat and a padded, guidance-light middle stretch.
4 / 10
A 3D incremental Action RPG that opened Early Access with real presentation and a genuine spark of promise in 2021, then stopped receiving updates entirely a few months later — a cautionary tale about buying into Early Access on faith rather than track record.
4 / 10
A Team-Builder Idle RPG Behind a Free-to-Play Front Door Eclipsia is a free-to-play idle RPG built around assembling a roster of gacha-summoned heroes, sending up to three of them
4 / 10
Team Soda's solo-focused, Tarkov-inspired extraction shooter about scavenging ducks became one of October 2025's biggest surprise hits, earning a Very Positive review sample for nailing loot-and-extract tension without PvP toxicity, though it's dogged by a genuine malicious-mod controversy and a conspicuous lack of controller support.
4 / 10
A Greek-mythology idle clicker with a genuinely dense set of systems layered under the clicking — armor crafting, class trees, recruitable gods and a companion mini-game — last patched in February 2020 and never formally updated since, despite still being sold as if it were a live product.
4 / 10
A mobile idle-grind game ported to Steam with its microtransactions stripped but its free-to-play repetition intact — genuinely fun in short, cheap-sale bursts, but widely described as overpriced for what's essentially a phone game with crash bugs and missing sound effects.
4 / 10
Gyudon Games' minimalist arcade JRPG distills turn-based combat and Guild Point progression into fast, story-light runs, drawing a small but strongly Positive review sample that praises its addictive battle-shop loop while flagging AI-generated art, thin onboarding, and missing keyboard/cloud-save conveniences.
4 / 10
An idle guild-manager that has sat labelled "Early Access" on Steam since January 2017 with no update since that September — still installable, still free, and still collecting reviews from players logging hundreds of hours in a game its own developer stopped touching almost nine years ago.
4 / 10
An Early Access shop-management sim about running a gun store on the edge of the law, cleaning and customising weapons for shady customers while dodging mafia pressure and police attention, with a genuinely appealing premise undercut at launch by a striking number of specific, game-breaking bugs.
4 / 10
A solo developer's free-to-play, Tibia-inspired 2D MMORPG that leans hard on old-school nostalgia, undercut by a near-total absence of sound, unfinished key rebinding, and a population so thin that several players report never meeting another soul.
4 / 10
A PS1-styled Mystery Dungeon roguelike wearing a Resident Evil 1 mansion as its skin, whose large, Very Positive review sample repeatedly praises its love-letter genre mashup and retro presentation while sharing consistent, specific complaints about a punishing, post-launch-nerfed difficulty curve that Steam's own achievement data confirms most players never push past.
4 / 10
Heart Machine's 3D open-world spin on Hyper Light Drifter had a genuinely promising Early Access launch built on fluid combat and Breath of the Wild-style exploration -- then, nine months later, the studio laid off its team and confirmed development had ended, leaving a paid, unfinished game permanently stuck without a final boss.
4 / 10
A competent, aggressively monetised gacha idle RPG that ran for almost four years — until the developer shut its servers down for good on 31 July 2025 and deleted every account. It can no longer be bought, downloaded or played.
4 / 10
A one-dollar idle clicker from a developer with a long, near-identical catalogue on Steam — this review independently confirms the store-page copy is reused word-for-word between releases — sitting at a genuinely even Mixed reception, undercut by a save bug that erased scaling progress and an achievement that reviewers say never registered.
4 / 10
A Free Dark-Fantasy Idle MMORPG With an Unusually Loud Controversy Idlemoor is a free-to-play, browser-and-Steam idle MMORPG set in a persistent dark-fantasy realm: characters gath
4 / 10
A NZ$1.59 zombie-themed idle clicker with a defined 50-level endpoint, a prestige system added by later patches, and a review corpus that's split between genuine affection for its low-poly charm and recognition that it's one of at least four near-identical releases from the same developer in 2022.
4 / 10
A Wizard on a Timer, Not a Health Bar I Have Only MP is a casual, wave-survival action game with a mechanical hook right there in the title: instead of a conventional health bar go
4 / 10
Kyle's Adventure is a $1.99 side-scrolling action-RPG that its sole reviewer compares favorably to Ys III, praising a compact handful of levels built around gold, leveling, and equipment upgrades, though this review's own checks found no achievements, no post-launch developer communication, and no accessibility accommodations to back that thin but genuine praise up with.
4 / 10
Orange Popcorn's dark-fantasy top-down metroidvania, a perspective spin on the studio's HunterX lineage, whose Very Positive review sample praises fluid, responsive melee/gun/magic combat and strong boss design undercut by a thin story, inconsistent art direction, an underwhelming skill tree, and a rocky launch-week controller bug.
4 / 10
A stylish, rhythm-infused action roguelite that its own players call genuinely exceptional — undercut by a single, devastating, independently corroborated fact: the publisher laid off its entire development team roughly six weeks after Early Access launch, and the game has sat frozen, unfinished and still for sale, ever since.
4 / 10
An anime arena fighter that lets fans create their own original hero and climb the Hero Association rankings alongside Saitama and the cast of One Punch Man, sunk for a large share of its review sample by punishingly long loading screens, shallow combat, and a grind reviewers describe as tedious rather than rewarding.
