Taking a different approach, working to rebuild the environment rather than burying it, in development sims
Those hoping for even a sliver of Cooking Mama-esque joy will quickly have their hopes crushed

Offers little more than a simple slot machine simulation with some scantily clad anime gals to ogle
An interesting take on strategy, featuring procedurally-generated maps and what can often be a formidable challenge

About what you’d expect, with a new area, new characters, and new things to do… but doesn’t break new ground

An unusual, and pretty competitive, online multiplayer rhythm game, though perhaps a bit inconsistent
A case of when you obviously are inspired by a great game and utterly fail to match what made it special
