Reverse Crawl is great! It has a well-developed plot, fun characters, a solid but not overwhelming combat system, intuitive upgrade systems, an enormous host of controllable units, and a lot more replayability than you'd expect. I love both the story and the gameplay. If you're a turn-based strategy lover, note that the gameplay may not be terribly difficult, but the tactics are still great fun. I got this game on sale for a dollar, even though it's worth buying at full price! I recommend this game to strategists, achievement hunters, and aspiring necromancers.
Reverse crawl is a turn based strategy RPG where you fight in a grid system. The gimmick was supposed to be that you are the "bad guy" defeating the heroes, but it kind of loses the plot mid-way as the good guys are actually the bad guys and you are in fact trying to bring peace to the land (etc etc). Questionable plot aside, the game is reasonably balanced where each battle takes a bit of thought. With the talent point system there are lots of viable strategies. Each run is somewhat randomized so you can do a few playthroughs and still see new units, spells and such. For achievement hunters, it takes 8-10 hours and will take multiple playthroughs as many achievements require you to pick different options at the scripted story events. Each run takes around 3-4 hours so it's overall fairly easy. Overall 7/10. Not a ton of depth, but a decent short game to scratch a SRPG itch.

A fun and easy 5-hour tactical romp. I wish the main character had been actually evil and doing evil things. Oh well, still a lovely game.
Lovely little game. I wasn't sure what to expect based on the description, but it ended up being quite a fun experience with solid combat that doesn't take too much worrying, but still lets you make choices to further destroy enemies and make your teams stronger. There's a decent amount of choice in how you use perks and the like to strengthen your army, but not to a degree where you'll get choice anxiety. I personally enjoyed swarming all the enemies with my horde of zombies. I will note, however, that some of the late-game combat can get to be a bit of a slog as enemy (and sometimes ally) health starts to get really high. While this isn't generally a big problem and fights still go more than fast enough, the first guardian fight especially felt like a bit of a weakpoint, as it amounted to me just pressing the same button once for some 30 turns. Aside from that though, the game is great fun and 100% worth to get even at full price for a quick and enjoyable experience that'll suck you in for a bit and let you leave before you really start to get bored of it.

7/10 - Recommend Cute and silly turn-based RPG indie game with multi-choice system that can be fun to experiment with. It has a very simplistic and bare-bones progression curve and it will punish you severely for not strategizing against the AI. Overall, it's a surprisingly intense game that doesn't take itself too seriously and can help kill some hours.
fun
Turn based RTS fighter game. The gameplay loop is solid, it has good enemy variety aswell as troop variety. Has some balancing issues in the final few chapters with a lot of your troops being completely overpowered, but this comes in handy during the 3rd playthrough. The achievements are very easy to get, but to get 100% you need 2.5 playthroughs. All in all it was a good game, good animation quality with every "class" having different attack animations Biggest issue with this game is how much the enemy can spam their abilities, take powerstrike for example, any enemy can use it on every turn, meanwhile your characters have to wait 1 turn before being able to use it again. No volume sliders, just on/off. All in all it's a 7/10 [hr][/hr] 🎚️ Difficulty 🔲 My grandma could play it ☑️ Easy 🔲 Normal 🔲 Hard 🔲 A challenge to be reckoned 🔲 In the heat of confrontation, (Only PVP games) 🗺️ Graphics 🔲 MS Paint 🔲 Bad ☑️ Meh 🔲 Normal 🔲 Very Good 🔲 An original artistic direction 🔲 Beautiful 🔲 Masterpiece 📚 Story 🔲 This game has no story 🔲 Basic element of the contractual requirements 🔲 It's there for people who want it ☑️ It's okay 🔲 Well written 🔲 Leading to more in-depth researches/thoughts 🔲 A model to get inspired by ⌛️ Length 🔲 0 (No story) ☑️ Short (1 playthrough) ☑️ Average (All achievements) 🔲 Long 🔲 To infinity and beyond 🎶 Music ☑️ Just filling noises/No music 🔲 Trivial and uneventful 🔲 Good and/or fitting the game's artistic dispositions 🔲 Memorable 🔲 Transcending whispers of a forgotten world 🕹️ Interest 🔲 I would rather watch paint dry 🔲 Hard to enjoy 🔲 Repetitive and/or uninspired ☑️ A good moment 🔲 Sticking out of the pack 🔲 You will remember it long after 🔁 Replayability 🔲 A one-time experience ☑️ Only for achievements (Does start outstaying it's welcome by the 3rd playthrough) 🔲 If you wait a few months/years (or with mods) 🔲 Definitely 🔲 Infinitely replayable (or almost) 🐛 Bugs 🔲 Never heard of ☑️ Minor bugs 🔲 Can get annoying 🔲 Impacts the player's experience badly 🔲 The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs ⚙️ Requirements ☑️ You can run it on a microwave 🔲 Low 🔲 Average 🔲 High 🔲 NASA computer 💰 Price 🔲 Free 🔲 Underpriced ☑️ Perfect Price 🔲 Could be cheaper 🔲 Overpriced 🔲 Complete waste of money 🤑 Worth Buying 🔲 No ☑️ If you have nothing else to play 🔲 Wait for sale 🔲 Yes 🎯 Expectations 🔲 It's a completely different game 🔲 This game is a scam 🔲 It's missing many features they announced ☑️ Looks very similar to the steam page 🔲 Better than expected and/or announced 🔲 Masterpiece, no patch or feature has to be added. ✒️ Final Rating 🔲 1 🔲 2 🔲 3 🔲 4 🔲 5 🔲 6 ☑️ 7 🔲 8 🔲 9 🔲 10
