  • I recently got UFO50 after initially not thinking it is for me, but hearing about it in Grogpod got me interested. I was born 1990 so games from the 80s really have more of a relic character for me, but it is still really good! I got it on switch because I saw many of the games have a multiplayer mode and that is fun, too!

    Some games from it I enjoyed so far:

    • Porgi: submarine metroidvania where you need to collect fuel upgrades to dive/explore deeper and deeper
    • Party House: roguelike deck builder / boardgame; bit like Dominion and fun game for wife and me but also fun alone
    • Devilition: puzzle game
    • Avianos: Turn based strategy / boardgame
    • Rock on Island: Bloons style TD
    • Magic Garden: snake like arcade game
    • Golfaria: Golf 2d isometric metroidvania / zeldalike
    • Onion delivery: 2d car driving kinda roguelike… reminds me a bit of GTA 2… hard as a brick though





  • I got myself Cross Blitz in the steam deckbuilder sale. It’s a very hearthstone inspired TCG / deckbuilder - even including some recognisable HS archetypes like thief rogue (lol). Defo scratches the HS itch for me, but if you haven’t played Hearthstone, you might find it a lot initially.

    It has a story mode with separate story for each of the 5 classes and there it is really a TCG. I played through one of them and it was pretty good, but left me wanting for more (especially given the TCG nature). I’m sure if you play through all 4 storylines, you get your money’s worth, but there isn’t really a point where your deckbuilding skills are heavily challenged.

    It also has a roguelite mode which seems pretty extensive with many unlockable characters/starting decks. I’m pretty far in that and it’s fun. It also has a hard mode, which is kinda needed, as normal is a bit on the easy side.

    Generally wouldn’t say it’s super deep, the powerlevel of passive relics tips it more into a “build OP deck” playstyle. But it’s really fun and has a nice colorful and cure artstyle.
