I typically don't like visual novels but this one has a unique premise and art style. It only has one review, which is positive. And it's inexpensive, with an introductory price of C$2.25.
Exactly what you think it is: a 2D rogue-like with turn-based combat. It's got an art style -- and colour palette -- that pretty much stay true to the original rogue-likes. Not very many features here, but at C$4.99, it's cheap. There's only two reviews, so again, buyer beware.
Here's a cozy colony sim / city builder.
There's a lot to like about this game. It's got native Mac and Linux compatibility, and gamepad support for Xbox and DualShock gamepads. Which means it will probably work well on a Steam Deck.
There's also low spec requirements. You only need 1GB of RAM and a GeForce 840M -- which pretty much means most PCs made within the past five years can play this game. And despite the low specs requirements, it has attractive visuals too.
The best part is the introductory price of C$7.74.
Most reviews are positive, though this game has its detractors too.
A survival horror FPS with PS2-style visuals. This has gamepad support too!
But the most compelling aspect of this game is that it has online PvP and co-op. And it's got an introductory price of C$5.84.
So far, all the reviews are positive.
If you like bullet hell shoot-'em-ups with 2.5D visuals, this could be up your alley.
Not much in the way of reviews yet, but there's a demo for you to try out before you buy. This has native Linux compatibility, which means it's highly likely to work on Steam Deck. It also has full gamepad support.
What might make this worthwhile is the shared co-op.
Also, if you like the soundtrack, you can buy it as DLC.
At C$19.49, that's probably the price I'd pay for it.
Again, take all of this with a grain of salt, but early reviews seem promising. The appeal is that this is a roguelite turn-based strategy game with a specific "casual" style about it. Also, this is playable on Steam Deck, so I assume it has gamepad support.
No reviews for this yet, so caution is warranted. However, I really like rogue-like RPGs, and one with rhythm mechanics is highly attractive to me. I also love the pixel art style, though this is clearly not "true" to the 8-bit era (that is fine).
So far, this has a 91% positive rating on Steam based on 100 reviews. It offers gamepad support and is playable on Steam Deck. I like the 2D sprite-based pixel art style, and it's very colourful. Definitely promising!
This one is shocking because it's published by Kemco, and they almost only ever make JRPGs. But here it is, a puzzle game! It's fairly inexpensive and actually has a discount. There's gamepad support, so that's nice. I have no idea if it's good, but there's a demo -- so try before you buy.
Not many reviews on this one yet but it has a great premise. Instead of jumping from platform to platform, you sling a web. At C$2.59, it's also super cheap. The visuals are what you'd call "minimalistic", but I think this is a fascinating game.
Impressive visuals with this one but you'll need some good hardware to get the most of it: recommended specs are 32GB of RAM and an RTX 2080. This game has good reviews, has a demo, and also has gamepad support. Also, this one has a nice setting.
It's quite simple: when I tag my posts with
@movies@lemm.eefrom Akkoma, my post doesn't show up there.My posts show up when I tag
@movies@lemmy.worldwith a delay. And it near-instantly shows up when I tag@movies@piefed.social. So for whatever reason, crossposting doesn't work with !movies@lemm.ee.Now if you're wondering why this is important to me: I have over 14K followers on my Akkoma account, so I can attract a lot of conversation with my movie reviews.
