ENDLESS Dungeon offers a unique and exciting journey, combining tower defense, action, RPG and roguelite elements in an immersive sci-fi environment. Strategy plays a crucial role as we face hordes of enemies, assemble turrets and carefully manage resources. However, the lack of variety in environments and events throughout runs can lead to a feeling of repetition, damaging the experience in the long term. Furthermore, ENDLESS Dungeon is a valuable experience for fans of tactical action games and roguelites with its creative strategic gameplay and well-developed atmosphere.

Savant - Ascent REMIX stands out with its creative interpretation of the shoot 'em up genre, offering a dizzying experience in a world inspired by Savant's music. Stages feature intense and challenging firefights, maintaining a feeling of freshness as new mechanics and enemies are introduced. The pixel art setting and energetic soundtrack perfectly complement the action, creating an immersive atmosphere. However, the game also has negative points that can affect the experience. The high difficulty, combined with the lack of room for errors and spaced checkpoints, can make the game frustrating and repetitive. Furthermore, the need to repeat sections and memorize patterns makes the games a bit tiring. In the end, Savant - Ascent REMIX is an interesting experience for fans of the genre as it offers frantic shoot 'em up action and high challenge, but it also tests patience with repetition and the lack of room for error.

Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles is a welcome innovation in the deck-building roguelike RPG genre, bringing dice instead of cards to put a unique spin on the gameplay mechanics. The dynamics of the dice add an element of probability and risk, making battles exciting and with touches of unpredictability. Furthermore, the game offers a wide variety of heroes, mechanics and strategies to explore. However, excessive complexity in some areas, such as the multitude of effects during battles and insufficient information in the interface, can hamper the experience. Over time, we learn to deal with these negative issues, but some adjustments to these aspects would make the runs more enjoyable. Overall, Astrea stands out as a captivating addition to the genre, requiring patience and dedication to master its nuances and make the most of its strategic depth.

Gunbrella arouses curiosity with its unique concept of a weapon that combines a shotgun and umbrella. The versatility of this hybrid equipment is explored in visceral and challenging combat, and there are also sections of exploration that require intelligent use of the umbrella. It is an experience that has good moments, especially in combat and ambiance, but that fails to maintain a consistent level throughout its duration. The adventure is worth it, but it is important to be willing to overlook the problems.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge has its universe amplified with the Shellshock Dimension expansion. The addition of playable characters Usagi Yojimbo and Karai brings new possibilities to combat because of their unique characteristics. Survival mode stands out with unpredictable stages and situations that require more skill and tactics on the part of the players. In addition, creative locations and temporarily controllable bosses bring an air of freshness to games. However, it is easy to see the weight of the expansion's simplicity. While it brings new challenges, Survival mode can eventually fall into the trap of monotony due to the lack of content diversity. Some unlockables and online leaderboards try to make the mode last longer, however only the most competitive players are likely to sustain long-term interest. All in all, Dimension Shellshock is a decent addition to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge and is a great reason to revisit the game.

Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate turns chess upside down with its offbeat idea of putting a gun in the hand of a king. Aiming and shooting adds dynamism to matches, and cards with abilities for both armies create unpredictable situations. Even with skill elements, the title maintains the tactical aspect of chess, with coordinated moves by enemy pieces. Despite being creative, the game has numerous problems, such as a steep learning curve, difficulty spikes and randomness so pronounced as to disrupt the tactical elements. There was also a lack of variety, as the runs quickly get repetitive. At least there are several additional modes and difficulties to explore. Simultaneously creative and problematic, Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate is a compelling experience.

Blasphemous 2 is an intense and haunting pilgrimage through a disturbing universe. The metroidvania sequel offers an adventure filled with brutal confrontations and immersive exploration in a more refined experience. The multiple weapons bring variety to the encounters, the elaborate maps have interesting platforming challenges and the world is inviting with its many secrets. As a continuation, the game dares little and introduces practically no significant novelties. However, practically every aspect has been improved: the challenge is better balanced, there are many customization options, and the atmosphere is richly crafted. Engaging and awe-inspiring, Blasphemous 2 is a spectacular metroidvania not to be missed.

Hyper Meteor is fast and addictive arcade action. Slamming into enemy weaknesses is simple, but the variety of hazards and increasing difficulty make matches frantic and exciting. The focus is on making long combos and achieving high scores, but other modes bring diversity. Sometimes the randomness and simplicity of the content is annoying, but unlockables, a colorful look and short matches alleviate these problems. In the end, Hyper Meteor is hard to put down.

Invector: Rhythm Galaxy combines rhythm and visual in an excellent musical journey. Controlling the ship according to the beat is enticing, especially due to the constant style changes in the stages. Beyond that, the atmosphere is impressive with colorful and bright scenery that pulsates along with the eclectic soundtrack. Some elements could have been more polished, like the difficulty curve and the visual chaos, and there are few new features when comparing it to the previous title. Compelling and offering a good challenge, Invector: Rhythm Galaxy is a harmonious experience recommended for fans of the genre.

Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes Definitive Edition immerses us in its elaborate tactical puzzle combat. The basic mechanics are quite simple, but the nuances, the different units and the RPG elements make the encounters densely strategic and addictive. The extensive campaign with different types of battles and the functional multiplayer mode are able to keep us hooked for many hours, despite some balancing issues. The relaunch received the "definitive" monicker, but it is more like a simple adaptation: there are few new features and some negative aspects of the original, such as the numerous loading screens, remain untouched. Even so, the game still offers quality content and is a great opportunity to meet it on new platforms.

Voidigo is a fast-paced, fast-paced action roguelike. The big highlight is the boss fights, which can appear at any time and constantly move through the stages — it's all very unpredictable and the fun is being able to adapt to these challenges. Countless weapons and creative abilities make the matches very unique and the universe itself is charismatic and humorous. As is usual with the genre, there is a bit of repetition between stages. Also, sometimes there's so much on the screen that it's hard to understand what's going on. However, these details do not compromise the experience, as there is a lot of content to explore and options to customize various aspects of the game. With intense confrontations and dynamic bosses, Voidigo is a must for those who enjoy a good roguelike.

Bleak Sword XD is a tense and unusual journey of action. The focus is on complicated combats through compact arenas full of dangers and enemies in which any mistake is fatal. The clashes are intense and difficult, requiring precision and observation to survive, and the fun is precisely in mastering all the nuances to overcome adversity. The intention is clear in offering a campaign of heightened difficulty, but some choices leave things frustrating, such as lack of visual clarity, unbalanced challenge and limited variety of situations. At the very least, there's plenty of content to explore and the striking setting has its charm. Those who like to overcome tribulations will enjoy the brutal world of Bleak Sword XD, just be prepared to face its rough edges and frustrations as well.
