Remedium Sentinels is an action roguelike, autoshooter where you play a steampunk sentinel and kill until you get killed.

This is the third game created by Sobaka Studio, who created the Gem Redeemer and the less popular but hell of a fever dream "9 Monkeys of Shaolin".




It's alternative history time, remember the plague? Well, we have Sentient sentinels with the power of steam and flying saw blades to get rid of it.

This game is a fever dream, I have never played an autoshooter and was confused so long to understand what I am currently playing. Mortar, Saw blades mines? Am I trying to get rid of the plague, or am I just a simple machine preparing for world domination? This still needs to be looked at.

You start as a simple Sentinel who punches the air and kills birds for fun. But once you have killed enough for a level up, you are going to face more and more enemies until you either got enough AOE or just die like the scrap boy you are.


There isn't much to say about this game, it is a lot of fun, but then again the RNG can mess you up beyond redemption. A typical problem these games face. While I had fun leveling up the different Skills and getting some scrap to buy permanent upgrades, it did not take long to see there is a particular system how to beat the level without any other way. In this case you will need a Mortar with double shoot, you do need the saw blades to create a zone things will die before hitting you. You will need faster reload times to get rid of the giant enemy line, and at the end you want to have a higher range to pick things up. It is AOE AOE AOE. Ignore the mine, ignore the Emmiter, ignore everything that does not look like an Atom bomb dropping. Most of the upgrades are useless. Faster running? Nope, enemies are everywhere and spawn everywhere, there will be nowhere to run in about 6 minutes of the game. And since it is an autobattler you have no way to control the attack direction so don't use con shaped attacks, it may happen that your sentinel acts like a Roomba and cleans the one spot that needs no action at all. And then the huge grind. FFS, why do I have to buy the end game Sentinels for 5k scrap each? It takes ages to get to this part. It's frustrating but yet again so satisfying when every upgrade works for you, and you get everything killed



a good variety of weapons and skills
a great variety of enemies
Unique Sentinels with unique perks and specializations
Transmutation skill on max leveled weapons to change them completely
the music is fine
"Rush" maps, an endless mode, once you have completed the regular maps





- there needs to be a codex for every weapon and how it works after various updates, e.g. the transmutations are not explained and while an ice machine gun is great, ice mortar do nothing at all.

- no story at all
- currently there is only one way to fight most efficient in this game
- weak upgrades who have no purpose in this game, e.g. faster movement speed


Remedium Sentinels offers a good game with countless hours of fun while killing enemies on rabies.

So who will enjoy this game? Do you like seeing stuff getting killed in a mass ? Getting numbers higher every time you level up is your world? Well then you found your game!

Creepy Tale 3: Ingrid Penance is a point and click horror themed game with great puzzle and a decent story about retribution.


Ah, good old Creepy Brothers. You may know them from their creepy tale's trilogy they made. Maybe you know their silly game Strike force Kitty. These guys are either making funny games or they go full depressive horror theme.




You are Ingrid, a spoiled little kid who has such an attitude that getting her killed is more fun than helping her.


How to start here? You may want to read the first review I had about part two of this Tale, and it was great. This one is about hell, redemption, sins, being evil and being good at the same time. You start as a bad person, a girl who makes her mother cry and throws a loaf of bread on mud to use it as a bridge. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, that was for your Nana! Your NANA!

You go through all the different stages of hell, starting in purgatory with two really hot chicks going to eat you, and once you are done with them Hell welcomes you to the court of owls. Too bad, you do not get Batman, there are only children getting their life sucked, and it's about you to save them or just ignore them. And here we are with the first issue I got. I have no clue where to find a clue to get the puzzle solved, I just tried every combination that was hard. It's almost as if the game wants you to be a bad person. The Puzzles, while they are fun to watch and give a great feeling once solved, the whole "How do I solve them?" section is nothing I can understand. So many puzzles that I got by sheer luck, it's outstanding how this worked for me. But the story kept me trying till it worked. The Sin and retribution mode was great, and the Tooth Lady still gives me shivering nightmares.




Graphic looks fantastic, the overall cartoon look suits the game
Sin and retribution system that changes dialogues and the ending.
The different hell stages are fantastic and almost poetic
there are optional puzzles you can and should solve
Amazing story about a girl being a brat and transforming to something stronger
it's your game, punish and hurt people or help them. People will judge you for that
connected to the events of creepy tale 2
a lot of graphical gory deaths




- some puzzles are simply too complicated (for me)
- the overall horror is reduced for the gore




Creepy Tale 3: Ingrid Penance offers an addictive game with a great story and a gory outcome to every mistake you do. It's almost a miss to not die by every way the developer build in. The Story is engaging, and the overall theme fits perfectly in the creepy tale saga.

So who will enjoy this game? Do you like point and click games with an engaging story? Loving to have some gore and horrifying deaths? Well then you found your game!

Gone Rogue is a tactical, isometric sneak or die game with some good RPG elements and a decent story to play with.


This is the first game created by AskaLot Games who is entering the world of Steam coming this March. I wish the best for them and I can't wait for further missions on this game.


Your country is great! War is over any day, be productive, the Police is your friend. You have nothing to hide, have ya?


What a gem I got here. I was skeptic. A Unity engine game based on commandos behind enemy lines? Sounds great, but the execution might be bad. And It's not, trust me the Unity engine has its ugly sides, and you can see it here and there in the Game, the fog to reduce rendering sight looks ugly and can destroy the immersion but besides of that it fits.


You start as a guy who lost everything, one mistake, and you are not worth more than the slum you are living in. Now let's steal some stuff and get better in it with every new mission.

Gone Rogue is great at many parts, bad at very few, and hilarious and some parts. The most hilarious part is when you can avoid people by clearly running around them and avoiding their line of sight by one pixel. It's cartoonish, it's fun, and it's the main reason I had to pause the game to catch my breath. It is bad when you are caught within the same pixel without able to notice it, and great by lurking people around the map to create some space to steal your stuff. Let me get to the gameplay. It's isometric, and you can see the enemy line of sight. Enemies do not detect you in an instance they have to “realize” what they will see, this is indicated by a blue bar filling the line with sight until it reaches you. Therefore, you have a brief moment to alert someone he has seen something without actually running towards you and approaching more cautions. You will also be depending on the map face different enemy types. You got the typical Watchmen who patrols. The working guy who just wants to do his tasks, dogs who have a 360° line of sight due to their smelling and a guy called bloodhound who will see your footprints when you go through mud and try to chase you down. Don't forget the snitches, who are workers who will tell the next patrolman that they saw you to get their reward. The world thanks to these guys feels alive. The enemy talk to each other, discussing their lives and being cautions about criticism since it can make you disappear. It makes a lot to see these fine details while you sneak around. One of the best mechanic in this game is sound. You have a variety of tools to break in. From crowbars to lock picks to Bolt cutters and drilling equipment. Everything hits differently, has a different amount of uses until it gets exhausted and does different noises and noise is the last thing you want to have during nighttime in a Luxury House with 3 people sleeping nearby. You can use lock picks, but lock picks will break after 3 uses. Or you can get some nice tard and reduce the noise of your next break in part. That's fantastic. You get exp per heist and a perk point to specialize. Besides, this, you are not completely fixed in how to finish the mission. I found at least two different ways to get to the goal. You can e.g. hack a PC to get into a security network and open a safe. Steal via pickpocket the key to the safe. Or go brute force and use an electrical drill and a lot of pepper spray bombs to stun the people who may catch you. During the brief moments of break you can get some optional quests in your slums get some nice perks for further burgling or craft some new items to make the life of people miserable.



great video tutorials to explain the use of perks or items
a great variety of enemies, non-hostile and hostile neutral people
Unique hero with great perks to specialize your burglary stile
The more you steal, the more resources you get in further maps.
noise and sight manipulation to succeed in burglary
a great story with optional quests that will make you speechless
different attempts are available to end a level successfully
people act mostly like real people with different settings when they caught you




- Unity engine keeps messing a bit with the line of sight
- carry weight could be a little bit higher
- saves are limited per mission




Gone Rogue offers an addictive game with a great effort to the stealth games. The RPG elements are spot one, the game mechanic is fun to play and mess with.

So who will enjoy this game? Do you like being a stealthy thief ? Loving isometric games like the old behind enemy lines games? Well then you found your game!

Dreams in the Witchhouse is a Cosmic Horror Point & Click game with RPG Elements and a survival mechanic.

This is the first game created by Atom Brain Games, who is entering the world of Steam with a really great game. I wish the best for them and I can’t await further games from them.



Ah, the sweet life of colleagues, who doesn't miss the times when you studied in the university, asked for occult Magic books? Had rodents in your dorm and ofc the Portal with an old witch who will strangle you into a cosmic horror world.

Good old times!

Oh, Boy, where to start here? At first when I got this game I was not amused. I liked the Broken Swords games and Monkey Island, but I remember the stupid things you had to do to progress. Getting a Goat angry enough to hit you, and while it's getting back to click on the machine. It's hilarious. Well that's what I thought about this game and lucky I was wrong. This game is a gem, not only do Items appear in different location, with every new play through. You can also have different Tasks to study, it's beautiful. The whole game is a resource spending and gathering game to find a conclusion on the issues you have every day. You get money by spending time in your studies and answer the questions during Exam or doing little tasks. Also, you need energy for your occult papers and the book you want to write. And while you are begging for wood, planks, money and food, like a typical student you try to make friends, and get this damn witch out of your Wall, also the rat with a human face, but let's not talk about this. The World is full of life, you get robbed by a Thug? Call the police, get him arrested, get your money back and never see a Thug again. Well I'm losing myself a bit, I better get back to the game who got me in his wet slimy tentacles.



fun to play with, great puzzles
Schedule and people feel like in a living world
RPG elements
Survival Elements
great resource gathering and diminishing mechanic
the cosmic horror story is fantastic
overall, the whole world makes sense
corruption level to increase overall exp
Study gives the exam answers



- Exam Questions are pretty hard
- like a typical Point & click, I have no clue what to do



Dreams in the Witchhouse offers an addictive game with unique characters, a great game mechanic and a really great effort for Cosmic Horror games. This kind of games have either too much of Cthulhu or nothing of the horror itself. But here you got the right part of everything, nothing can take that from you. Just when you are in to the dating sim food gathering mechanic, a witch sends you into the calamity of the Cosmic horror. Once you barely escaped the Sexy tentacle monster, a friend has a problem, and you try to help him, but watch out exams are coming, and your aunt will give you extra money! So you can finally get this horrible rat out of your Dorm. This is a fantastic game and great way to keep the player entertained.

So who will enjoy this game? Do you like old school point and click? Cosmic horror is your world? You like Broken Swords and Monkey Island? Well, my friend, then this game is for you!

Deepening Fire is a Souls like, horizontal, early access game with cartoonish graphics a lovely story and a lot to do and explore.


This is the first game created byVeryBigDog who entered the rough world of Indie souls like games on Steam. I wish the best for them, and I am still confused how this game can be still in Early Access with all the content in it.



Complete confusion. This game is a complete confusion for me. When it popped up and our beloved Klaus tried to force me to play it like a mother force-feeds a 6-month year old, I was not amused. First red flag, its Early Access 2D side scrolling game. Second red flag, it's 2D souls like. Third Red flag, it's a one-man developer team. Fourth Red Flag: It looks like an Armor Games developed Flash game on the Videos and Screenshots. What happened then? I barely eat for 2 days and made a 7 Hours long Video and beat the game. Forgot the second amulet to have the true ending, and maybe I will play it again.


This game is a typical souls like, you got a dash function to dodge, a great parry function that activates a skill, in abused the "healing skill". You start as a guy who has no clue what happened in a calamity wasted world engulfed in fire and hate. There is no narration as it's a typical in this dark games. People tell you the story, letters tell you about the uncomfortable world and how everything gone from bad to worse to Nestle owns all our fresh water in the world. You get great stages that are unique, you have companions that tell their story. You have a Ninja Samurai who helps you find new people for your Garden. Your Garden is mostly the point you can talk, take haircuts and teleport to new worlds. This game has really hard boss fights but is extremely fair on save points and items in case your skin burns, and you can't carry armor anymore. Yes, he had to implement that. The only stupid thing is, range is by far powerful, not due to the damage but due to the constant damage you can provide since you do not have to dodge in range, and you can "pew pew" out of rage. And you know what you fight at the end? A Planet and super nova eating entity who can instantly kill you by eating you like the black void.



a lot of different enemies
Stages are unique with easy but nice puzzles
unique Bosses with unique skill sets
NPC's you will learn to love
devastating story with great Dark Souls storytelling
a lot of Armor with unique set Bonus
RPG function to level up your character
Weapons, Staffs, Swords, Lance, Axe, Daggers it's great
the effects are great
the sound is amazing
the controls are smooth and responsive




- The Last Boss is really hard
- Some stages are confusing, one end boss is only accessible when letting an enemy destroy the floor.



Oh hello there, since it's early access it might be good to give some advice right? Well, there isn't much I can say but:

More Swords please, I found like 3 through the game and a lot of other weapons, but I'm the kinda Sword guy in video games.

Some Book to see which items are currently missing and need to be found would be great.


Deepening Fire offers an addictive game with unique Bosses and a really great effort for the souls like games. This game was such a surprise. All Red Flags were actually Green Flags. I cannot understand why this game is still marked as Early access? It's a bit pricey for the 7 hours of content, but it's a full game without any real issue. I have seen AAA Titles more unfinished at full release than this piece of art.


Who will enjoy this game? Do you like Dark Souls? Shovel Knight? Want to feel a satisfying feeling when doing a parry? Look, I can't give this game enough justice, just do yourself a favor and fast-forward the gameplay video I did and see for yourself how awesome everything fits together.

Infectra is a Tower defense Zombie survival game based on gameplay, as you may know from Atom Zombie smasher

This is the second game created by Boar in Games, who entered the cruel world of Indie games on Steam with the game Squeakers.



People are infected, heal them, oh no you waited too long now they are Zombies, kill them while an airship takes all the survivors and infected to a save zone. Don't take too much infected or else you are going to lose the game.

This game is a hard one. While I'm able to appreciate the polygon stile of the game and the overall gameplay, I dislike the random behavior the people and the zombies have. Nothing is more satisfying in this game than getting everyone alive on the plane and get away from the zombies. But oh boy do people get stupid in this game. Just think about the following scenario that happened way too often: You have blue midgets (the healthy ones) Yellow midgets (infected, but you can heal them) and Red Midgets (these kinds of people who vote for trump and eat brains to get themselves one) you can build checkpoint gates who heal people but guess what, every midget except the red ones try to avoid these gates like the plague. It's so stupid when you start a map and can't figure out where to place the extraction point because everywhere is a yellow midget who will not vaccinate himself to safe the others. This game may be far more realistic than I give it credit. You can avoid this by constantly restarting the game, because the yellow people spawn by random numbers and one of them can be 0. Beside of that the game is fun, a bit short but the game itself is at the price Tag of €1.53, so it's fine and a nice way to entertain yourself for an hour or two. And it does entertain, It's fun to build a setup and see what will happen. The Civilians you rescue are giving away their money, so it's important to extract them fast, so you can spend more money on buildings. The building part itself is pretty simple you got 2 Turrets, a fence and power plant to get yourself prepared for the game, the worst enemy besides the Zombies is the time limit, it takes time to build up the buildings, it takes time to repair them, and it takes time to extract people. It's a clever way to keep the pace going, and It's nearly never a good idea to turtle yourself and hope for the best. Strategic is actually the key.


simple and understandable HUD
a tutorial to explain the mechanics of the game
great pace and good in game animation
infected can be healed, therefore nothing is lost when zombies bite but not kill people
Textures and graphics have the 2004 feeling


- AI is clumsy and unpredictable
- Stages can be soft locked due to RNG Spawns
- there could be more buildings to choose from




Infectra offers a good game with a unique way on the zombie survival or extraction genre. In its current state it has a few things similar to Atom Zombie Smasher but does a lot of things completely different to be not a rip-off and something on its own.

So who will enjoy this game? Do you like Tower defense games with a horde of people you have to save? Need something similar in the way of Atom Zombie Smasher? Trust me, there are not enough games of this kind of genre? Then this game is for you, and it's super cheap.

La Porte des Fauconniers : Guerre Médiévale is a medieval Strategic game with hack and slash elements similar to the Mount & Blade Franchise, created with the Unity Engine.


This is the first game created by Bastion Studio (FR)who is entering the world of Steam and has big shoes to fill.




Yeha well, there is no Story äääääh.. hey look there Peasants have arisen! And they are far better equip then you my liege? My king? My Lord? I'm actually not sure who you are, but you are someone in this game, and you are allowed to have 3 other someone's with weapons in your army.

Yes, that is the first scenario, and I had to abuse every mechanic I could to win this fight. The enemies are far more than you, and they have not such problems as limited number of arrows or Spears.

But let's start at the beginning, you can choose your Guy and equip him with whatever you want and then get yourself a nice 3 packs of dudes. Trust me, ignore the Archer and go straight to AXE! You know what you can do with an axe? You can chop trees, shields, dudes, backs and backs of dudes running away from you. So did I charge first and tried to kill people? Hell no, you can't know what these peasants have, so I have used the formation button to get my spear guys in a phalanx formation that did nothing at all and kited the enemies to position, so my axe guys could charge into their backs. And well that's the whole strategy I used the whole 60 minutes, and it kinda worked. Stabbing every enemy fleeing the battlefield.

Afterwords it was level uptime, getting more units for my army and getting my guy a bit stronger and then next scenario killing people. That's currently all, let's hope more will come.



a lot of different Classes to choose (Sword Archer, Javelin, Spear Axe all from level 1 gear to level 4 gear)
Unique hero with 3 different talent trees
Your minions also have a talent tree
formations look great and the attack animation is decent
Projectiles are flying the right way




- AI is suicidal
- The Command to shoot is poorly displayed, causing me to miss more than I wished to miss
- a short in game tutorial would be great to explain a few game mechanics
- in the current state there is not much content




Ah, yes I have some, I enjoyed the game a lot, but there are a few things I would wish to have in this game

-> Axe people should have a level up skill for throwing axes
-> Swordsmen should have Wardogs as perk to open up the enemy formation
-> Javelins should be retaken to replenish the ammo count
-> More slots and points for your army would be great
-> Let the perks be stronger in the single-player game




La Porte des Fauconniers : Guerre Médiévale offers a nice game with unique units and a wonderful effort for a Mount & Blade game

So who will enjoy this game? Do you like smashing things and run with soldiers while smashing far more things? You love the sentence : Has Potential? Well in This case that game is exactly what you need!

Blacksmith Legends is a Strategic SIM game you may know from early 2000. You do a few tasks and then hope for the best.


This is the first game created by VM Gaming, but the second done in collaboration with RockGame who also published Scrapnaut A steampunk survival game i was never able to understand.




And here I am again, playing Mass Effect Andromeda and not understanding all the hate, mostly because I never played the other games.


And then this pops up all I can see is the Unity game engine and I knew I'm about to torture myself again.


You start very innocent, as a Blacksmith, you can choose what you are and then start to build your stuff. You start by building your house and don't forget a door, even nobody comes visiting you and your employee. To sleep, you just disappear. Typical unity problems.

Behind this issue and that your Blacksmith can disappear forever, you are actually sitting on a good game with a lot of fun in case you are fine with crafting selling and advancing the plot. That's what you do, and you need to love this kind of games, else you get bored on the spot. The game itself is very simplistic, with simple animations and a very simple crafting and selling system. You can hire mercenaries and go for adventure, or even fight in the arena, but trust me don't do it, it's confusing.




simple gameplay
quest system is rewarding
dungeons and exploration
a lot of stuff to buy
auto sell your items




- not much content besides clicking on items
- graphics is way too simple even for a Management sim
- the combat in the arena is way too RNG based





Blacksmith Legends offers a good game with some unique twerks you will enjoy even when it is time-consuming


So who will enjoy this game? Do you like the simple years of 2000? Two clicks and then just watch and enjoy the show? Well, in this case, this game is for you!

Replikator is a top-down shooter with a rogue like element where you get more and more item the more often you progress and die. Well too bad you can't do it in your real life

This is the second game created by R_Games who entered the world of Steam with in Space 2980 a 2d Space shooter.



A doctor, a Rogue, a Master chief and a raccoon are sitting in a bar.

Replikator starts fairly decent with some blabla and a mission to investigate. And then you start to teleport jump around, shoot robots. Get weapons and gain Keys. It is really simple but yet still so impactful to play. You have 3 stages and then you go get some Boss monster love and repeat the whole procedure. The Battling is super fun, running around and shooting. You have a lot of weapons to choose from, they are cut in 5 categories, energy, Shotgun, Rifles, Explosion and the last one is the one I always forget. I think the main pro here is all the items you can get, my favorite are the bots you can get who either shoot or fly around you, killing everything on impact. During the mission, you can find Terminals who also change your whole gameplay by giving your cubes to damage your artifacts who will now have malfunctions and giving you nightmares during the game. Every round ends with some credits and cubes, and boy are the cubes important here. You can upgrade your ship to spawn weapons and gain some advantage, upgrade your stats or get some powerful artifacts. So much to do.




a lot of different enemies
Unique weapons
Different Bosses with unique strategies
upgrades, upgrades and more upgrades
fast-paced gameplay
sliding, dodging drifting and reverse driving to fight your enemies
You can find keys to open locked rooms and blast walls to find secrets



- the game is repetitive
- Due to random spawns, you can swarmed by heavy enemy fire




Replikator offers a good game with a fast-paced gameplay and a lot of items to discover. The story itself is not in the focus, the boss battles are. And they are pretty much perfect in execution. You have bullet sponges or bullet hell bosses, and you have to get the environment to use.


So who will enjoy this game? Do you like the old school shooter games? You loved hotline Miami but missed some future techs? Well in this case this game is for you!

And there I am again, playing Power Rangers battle of the Grid and wondering how people can love a game where the enemy AI can stun lock you in a 120 Hit Combo. There this game pops up. "Gear Shifters" and first images of Fast and Furious come up again, you remember when half of the film is people gear shifting and VROOOM noises? Well when this game is just half of it, I am totally in!


This is the first game created by Red Phantom Games who is entering the world of Steam with Gear Shifters. They have a few things to learn, but they are on a great way.




Drive a Car, kill other cars, drift around and deliver packages to liberate the world.

Ah, yes the genre of 2D shooting games in cars. My last time was "Have a nice day" and "Mega race 2". This game is a really good piece of enjoyment. You start with a Car who has two machine guns, delivering a package. All is fine until the enemies come in, shooting around, making you dodge projectiles and shooting everything down. You got different enemies, from laying mines, to shooting with lasers, rockets or those malicious Gatling gun turrets who kill you within in seconds. Once you got through 3 Stages, the final boss appears. And they are perfect, every Boss has his own pattern to avoid and shoot at. You can easily die when doing a mistake and that is one of the main issues in this game. Getting killed once resets the whole stage. Boss killed you? Now you have to play the levels again and your Health and energy gets not refreshed after each stage to the boss. It is completely possible to fight the Boss with 1 HP. That is more or less the Roguelike element in this game. Then again, this game does not hold your hand. It took my only 4 hours to realize I can dodge the one shot turret cars or the harpoon from the Boss monster. Yeah, took my some time to realize I'm as smart as Vin Diesel in Fast and Furious. My only issue in this game was the story and the last Boss. The story is ok until you get the twist. Who is cool at first but once you have 10 minutes time to think about it is totally dump. The last Boss is way too hard, 2 mistakes you are dead. In his second form, one mistake, you are dead. That is not fun at all.




a lot of different enemies with unique weapons
Unique weapons, secondary weapons
Different Bosses with unique skill sets
a completely upgradable Car
particle effects and graphics fit for this kind of game
sliding, dodging drifting and reverse driving to fight your enemies


- Swarming enemies to hide clumsy AI
- Boss Enemies can be really unfair with their one shot kills
- flying units can only be hit by secondary weapons
- No gear shifting



Gearshifters offers a good game with unique units and a fun gameplay. The story got me hooked until the twist for when I stopped caring about it and the final end boss was so frustrating I simply stopped playing. The variety of Secondary and main weapons is great, but then again at the end it's two weapons you will use.


So who will enjoy this game? Do you like arcade shooting games? I only know one other game I played in 2011 I am not sure how its name was, but you had also cars and shoot around like a madman. Well ..ähm... Get this game, when you love to shoot cards and have some fun before bedtime.
