      Cassette Beasts

      That art style, especially the “over world”, is really done well. Almost perfect implementation of HD-2D. I’m impressed.

            I dont mind it. But going from a joystick to the 4 point movement of WASD can present problems when platforming. Particularly when rapidly switching directions. The player character will slide and even do a quick jump backwards if you’re whipping the controls around. So this happens by mistake far more often on the touch screen controls and with WASD. Its not unplayable, or really even that hard cause you can’t really die. But the way the game plays its just best with a controller.

      I couch coop play this with my 6 year old and it is awesome! Music is a fun and super approachable for the younger crowd and older. I make him read to learn moves and stuff. It’s clearly for learning.

        I should warn others reading that the song in Harbortown “Wherever We Are Now” does feature the word “shit” in it one time. The music is beautiful though. I have it on my playlists.

        Good music is an understatement for me. I fucken love the music. Its studio quality and I can hear the care taken to make it (I have an audio engineer certificate). It took over my playlists for at least a month. And the way the vocals fade in and out during fusions or entering a building is perfect. The music never stops abruptly or sounds like shit. They had some real talent on all of the music side of things.

          Sorry! I just haven’t played it yet.

          I have Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO with Chord mojo 2, so I can get advantage of it! Thanks for describing this. I’m even more interested in it.

            I listen to it on a pair of studio audio technical headphones (nothing special just a flat frequency response). With the music being such a big part its a great experience. Definitely worth a play through. If anyone ever wants to battle, trade, or fight fusions just DM me for real.

      No matter what other games I start, I keep drifting back to ∆V. I need to get my thrusters checked.

    The Case of the Golden Idol. It’s a great little detective game with an interesting premise.

    Halls of Torment. It’s probably the most fun I’ve had with a survivor-like game since, well, Vampire Survivors.

      Cruelty Squad

      The graphic is to say… interesting at least. Crazy - in one word. This game seems almost perfect by Steam reviews.

      Cruelty Squad is a tactical first person shooter set in the hardcore gig economy of corporate liquidations. You’re an emotionally dead combat-substance fueled grunt of Cruelty Squad, a depraved subsidiary company tasked with performing wetworks for its host conglomerate. Will you make the Corporate Arch Demoness proud or succumb to bitter tears of failure?

      Yeah, we need more like these. 🤪

        Lmao. I think the art really sells the story, even if it is a little offensive. There is so much depth including an economy where you can trade and sell business stocks (before and after killing influential figures), and most importantly, fish and organs. I think the most stable place you can have your money is as either pancreas or liver as they are always about 1 dollar. It’s like bio crypto lol.

        I have played only about 30 hours, but I have not even scratched the surface of secrets that are there.

            I have my eye on that one. I have given myself a super restrictive budget for the next 2 years, but maybe after that I will pick it up. I love the way that game looks and as a wannabe game dev on the weekends, I am super impressed with what the dev has managed to create on his own. Absolutely amazing work.
