Strategy, Fantasy, Internet, Multiplayer, RTS, Singleplayer.
Mobile real time strategy game from C4M Productions. Its story takes us to unique fantasy land, surely filled with magic and sentient races, but in terms of development it is far behind even medieval times, with numerous societies in form of primitive tribes’ settlements. We play as chief of one such settlement, trying to gain new terrains for our people while also fending off attacks of barbarian nation called Skulls. So we must watch over development of our village, researches of new technologies and battles against small troops of the enemy, with our armies being led by heroes with special skills who also level up throughout a game. There is also a multiplayer mode, though rather unusual one: defenders prepare battle plans that are fulfilled by artificial intelligence, while attackers play in real time trying to find flaws in opponent’s strategy.

A turn-based strategy game, developed by The Headquarter – a Spanish studio known for Espana 1936. This time, the authors enable us to take part in the Thirty Years’ War, a 17th century conflict between Protestant countries of the Holy Roman Empire, supported by other European nations (e.g. Sweden, Denmark, France, Scotland, or England) and the coalition led by Catholic Habsburg dynasty. 30 Years’ War allows us to join either Protestants or Catholics, and take part in the war for domination over The Old Continent, recreating the crucial moments of the conflict. When it comes to mechanics, we are left with a complex, old-school strategy game, employing a simultaneously-executed turn system, and placing a lot of emphasis on faithful recreation of 17th century Europe and its style of conducting warfare. During the game, our mind is preoccupied not only with warfare, but also with conscripting armies and our country’s economy and diplomacy.

He will also have to do some quests, like growing old, achieving a godlike karma balance, or finding every statuette of knowledge. The game's world is generated procedurally, making that task harder, and the fact that many dangers, like predators, traps, or hunters, await our hero does not make it any easier. Additionally, death is permanent. if our hero dies, we have to start the game all over again, unless we have an heir. If we do, we can play as him after we die. We cannot forget about karma, influenced by our deeds. We can play The Deer God alone or with a friend. In co-op, we have to try our best to survive longer than our competitor.

April 18, 2019
Action, 2.5D, Very Brutal, Indie Games, Co-op, Multiplayer, For 2 Players, Splitscreen, Polish, Singleplayer, Shooters, Top-down.
A game that combines shooter and hack and slash mechanics. It was created by One More Level - a Polish developer popular for Warlocks vs Shadows. The protagonist is called Zoran and he is a veteran of the Balkan Wars, who escapes from war atrocities to New York. To serve his penance, he becomes a local priest. Unfortunately, once it turns out that ruthless mobsters have become a threat to the people he serves, Zoran decides to bring justice the hard way. The action is viewed from above and the game is very dynamic. Also, it does not tolerate the player's mistakes - one hit kills the protagonist. Consequently, the player has to plan before they act; using the protagonist's special ability (the so-called Divine Focus) is also crucial for success. This ability makes the time pass only when the protagonist is in motion. Once depleted, it can be recharged by killing enemies. Sword and pistol are the protagonist's basic weapons, but more of them are waiting for the player to discover. Apart from the single-player story campaign, the game offers separate levels for the co-op mode. Among other top-down view games, God's Trigger stands out with its three-dimensional, cel-shaded graphics.

You use the money to develop your hero and make him stronger. You can also hire a helper, who fights the monsters on his own, even when the game is turned off. This way you defeat hordes of foes and earn heaps of money, which you later spend on hiring more helpers, developing them, or obtaining special abilities. You have a certain number of enemies to defeat on each level, along with a stronger boss, which needs to be defeated in 30 seconds; if you fail, the boss' health renews and you have to start over.

Vector 2
May 18, 2016
Arcade, Auto-runner, Parkour, Platformers, Science Fiction, Side-scroll, Singleplayer.
Continuation of the original auto-run platformer that was the first major success of Russian independent studio Nekki. Plot of Vector 2 continues the storyline of the original and takes us back to the dreary world of the future, in which the eye of Big Brother keeps track of all actions of the people. Protagonist known from the first installment was eventually captured by security forces, but, instead of killing him, they decided to use his skills to test some new equipment in a secret research facility. In comparison with the original, game mechanics have not changed significantly and the gameplay boils down to overcoming successive levels with gradually learned parkour tricks. This time, however, individual levels are procedurally generated and each death is final. The game features also completely new locations and enemies, new types of obstacles and pitfalls, as well as a large set of additional gadgets to unlock.

Calvino Noir
August 25, 2015
Arcade, 2.5D, Noir, Platformers, Singleplayer, Stealth.
A platformer game with stealth elements, inspired by hard-boiled fiction. The action of Calvino Noir takes us to the 30s of the 20th century where we assume control of a team of thieves that commit audacious robberies. Our team involves a wide range of original characters, each having their unique skills and equipment. While playing, we take on a number of robberies that we have to carefully plan before going on the mission. Since our thieves are far from killing machines, the key to success is to compose the team well so that characters of different abilities cooperate properly. We are forced to avoid guards, evade security measures, and solve various puzzles. Should we make a mistake, even the strongest thief won’t be able to handle several armed guards.

Sonic Runners
June 27, 2016, End of Life
Arcade, Auto-runner, Platformers, Singleplayer, Sonic.
A mobile game and a part of one of the most popular franchises in history. The production is a blend of a platformer and a typical runner game, set in the universe of Sonic the Hedgehog. You can not only play as the main character, but also as his friends, including Tails the Fox and Knuckles. The levels, called “episodes” in-game, are endless, although you can progress to the next one after earning a certain amount of points. Every character has a special ability, which helps them overcome obstacles (e.g. Sonic can triple-jump and Knuckles is super-strong, which makes him hit harder). The game features nicely designed maps full of platforms, enemies, and obstacles, making it more difficult to break records. You can find many collectibles and fight various bosses. The characters can be upgraded (they have three statistics: speed, strength, and acrobatics) and unlocked. The game's beautiful 2.5D was inspired by classic 8-bit and 16-bit console productions. The game was withdrawn from distribution due to a too aggressive business model.

A game which combines elements of platform, logic, and action games. In MonsterBag you play as a small monster named V, who is trying to find his missing female friend in a world full of humans and hostile beasts. Throughout the adventure you have to beat a dozen or so unique levels filled with different kinds of danger, the greatest of which are humans. However, at the same time they serve the role of “platforms”, which you must use to reach new regions. While jumping around, hanging down from edges and doing flips, you must avoid getting spotted by any human. In order to distract them, V can use his special abilities, such as telekinesis. At the end of some levels there is a boss fight. The graphics in MonsterBag are based on a simple, though characteristic line drawings, as well as the use of bright, contrasting colors. Despite its friendly-looking world, the game is rather brutal and animations of death are surprisingly vivid.
