Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.

A deep, slow paced, with stealth, environment manipulation top-down rogue-like, feels like Ultima-Underworld.
I think the developers made a mistake with the one-eyed yellow character design which is an initial turn-off for me.

I have a nearly finished Let's Play on one of its free DLC The Mithril Run:

I'm looking at similar games:


Seems a bit simple.



Any other recommended realtime, top-down fantasy rogue-like?

the store page keeps CRASHING (crashing, it's not server load issues) if you're one of those poor sods who actually use steam features like the discovery queue and have a certain amount of not interested/ignored games. The javascript on the page generates an infinite loop that causes the page to use multiple gigabytes of memory then crashes, reloads and does it again, and again, and again.

If you suffer from the issue do not expect to find a "time" at which the store will work. Unlike server loads type of issues, it's not something that will resolve itself.

The best Baseball game(s), at least on PC. Don't be fooled by the caricature-style graphics, the gameplay is great and not too 'arcady'. It also stays challenging, thanks to an easily adjustable 'Ego' difficulty.

I prefer the first, tbh, they went for a more 'realistic' look in the second that is neither here nor there. But if you want more teams and more customization, get SMB 2.

Save during the Winter Sale! This coupon is available for use ‘til January 2, 2020 @ 10:00:00 am PST and can only be purchased once from the Holiday Market.
They were pretty clear about that I know you prefer pictographs to reading but hey at least now you can buy that temporary profile skin with those 50 dollars worth of tokens.

Bought GTA Vice City and Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom. Been wanting to try Vice City since it's one of the very few GTA games i haven't played yet, and also been wanting to play some more Metroidvanias, so i got Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom. Vice City is 65% off and Monster Boy is 50% off.

With a booming announcement of "We heard you!", Valve has graciously extended store tokens to be granted for wallet funds slightly older than the current sale. :keepmyjewgold:

Gray Zone, real-time tactics with RPG and... shoot 'em up elements? From a Slovakian studio called Eastworks:

Travel many years into the future and embark on the great adventure of Valern, a slave in the hands of a corrupt government who's destined for great things. Explore colonized planets of our galaxy, worlds rich in animals, creatures and characters. Help Valern face his foes who stand between him and the truth. Both in-game and cutscene dialogs are fully voiced in English.

In Gray Zone you command your heroes and other friendly units to avoid or defeat the enemy, to complete story objectives, mandatory or optional. You build fire teams, use machines, vehicles and weapons, collect and distribute items. Your goal is to choose the right combat strategy to minimize your losses whilst achieving a result. The game allows you to freeze time in "tactic mode", which gives you unlimited time to re-think your strategy and issue different orders to multiple units at one moment.

The full game will consist of four chapters, each consisting of six missions. Plus a small bonus mission in the first chapter. That's 25 missions in total. There are 2D Artworks and comics that chronicle the story’s progress between missions. The game also features its own electro-orchestral soundtrack.
