https://store.steampowered.com/app/3397780/Air_Master_HANEMARU/Fun only up/getting over it style game with interesting movement mechanics. There's perfect jumps and a glide system with a nice amount of nuance to it. Level design is nothing to write home about, but the character is fun to move around and mastering the movement feels great. Not bad for the price.

>>737404258https://store.steampowered.com/app/3017330/Verho__Curse_of_Faces/I wholeheartedly recommend this game.

>>737406809Weird, I have both of those, but haven't played the first one. The End of Dyeus was pretty fun, despite the fact I'm kinda shit at it.
>>737431227The story isn't the greatest in some parts, sure. I'd say the enjoyment came from exploration and the amount of equipment opportunities you had, although admittedly the body part-focused combat system became a bit grating over time. It was nice to be able to equip someone with a bow or sling over a sword so they could fuck up birds, for example. You should get a boat soon and then an airship. I need to finish it too, there's honestly a lot of content.
>>737406809End of Dyeus was fun, but I'm not really sure what was going on with the ending

>>737410082Just beat that this month, had a great time. I wish the stat bloat was a little less severe but it was still a cool game.
>>737435898>no lolis>no SEXwhats the point if you can't fugg them bro...also, rogueLITE, it is nothing like Rogue
>>737436045>also, rogueLITE, it is nothing like RogueMystery dungeon games are indeed roguelikes. It's a turn-based grid-based RPG where the player and enemy turns are resolved at the same time. Also has the randomized level layouts (complete with the format of square rooms of various types connected by hallways) and a focus on item manipulation. Permadeath and ASCII text graphics are tertiary aspects that don't define the gameplay of roguelikes. Though this game also has elements that simulate some of the gameplay concepts of permadeath, such as the player character reverting to level 1 upon leaving a dungeon.
>>737436663But you control multiple characters, thus, it is not a Roguelike.
>>737435898Seconding this, though I haven't played the sequel yet.
>>737436905They function similar to how pets do in Nethack, which I'm sure you also consider a roguelike. You cannot control your party members directly, though you can change their AI behavior modes and restrict which moves they're allowed to use. In the sequel you can also request them to use a specific move on the next turn. Otherwise they move and act on their own while trying to follow the player.
>>737437103Alright, you win. I concede. I'll argue that it's conceptually a roguelike.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1943370/Invercity/Puzzle game where you invert gravity. Lot less about platforming compared to VVVVVV and more just puzzle solving. Not sure why this one's so hidden considering there's a decent crossover between weebs and puzzle game lovers. The concept isn't anything new and it's not that hard, but it teases your brain enough and puts a smile on your face with its upbeat atmosphere. Solid weekend game.
>>737435898looks nice, can you name the girls?
>>737438619nvm, looking at your screenshot looks like you can
>>737425708You definitely need to appreciate difficult platforming to enjoy it, but I don't know about precision; it isn't tagged for that on Steam, and with the hardest 2D platformer on my resume being DKC Returns I haven't felt out of my element in the first ~60 levels.Figuring out level solutions typically isn't complex, grabbing the collectibles along with it can be. I've had to skip a few because I couldn't figure out the order of operations.As someone who loved Donkey Kong '94 but wanted more of a challenge, it's scratching that itch well.
>>737404258>released 1988I think it might be obsolete.

One unfortunate thing I do notice about a lot of these small indie games is that the sound effects are terrible. It's a much bigger issue than graphics imo.
>>737439597I wish the VVVVVV section and the final boss were slightly less horseshit. Otherwise I agree.

>>737462027Translation is very engrish in 2 especially, but the game is pretty straightforward to understand. If you haven't played any mystery dungeons or traditional roguelikes before, expect to receive a little bit of a booty paddling though the remaster of the first game is quite a bit easier than it's original version. Biggest challenge is going to be coming to terms with unidentified items once you reach the first dungeon that has them. Just don't be too hasty with equipping lots of random gear you find lying around since sometimes they're cursed. You lose all your items when you die, but if you talk to the insurance bee at town you can put insurance claims on your gear which lets you recover them for free after death. You also always revert back to level 1 upon returning to town even if you didn't die, but your friends keep their levels. Expect to find many foxes in your pockets.

>>737410702This shit is $20 lol.
>>737462643Have fun and enjoy the monsters. And I almost forgot, be sure to set the difficulty to "roguelike" in the remaster. It sets it to "casual" by default for some reason, which is piss easy and removes some of the gameplay mechanics. 2 has a difficulty selector before you start. You can also hold the "next page" and "previous page" keys together (I think they're A and S by default) to unlock hard mode if you wanna be a badass. I don't think the remaster ever tells you this.
>>737462358I'm too casual to finish a loopback yet, so I only have G1.
>>737461724>>737462027Don't buy it. They're all titcows and hags - no lolis, fairies, pixies, brownies, sprites or anything of the like. I shan't be supporting homosexual developers.

So we're all just shilling our games here huh
>>737463014going into loop is only necessary for a couple of achievements and for chasing high scores. simply beating the final boss is enough to go up a gearthe jump in difficulty for G1 is real though, you're going to have to deal with the bosses always having their loop attack patterns during pre-loop, which gave me a bit of trouble when I was starting out against the not-Throne.in my opinion it's always worth doing a loop once you beat the final boss, you get access to your character's final upgrade which is usually stupid strong as a final upgrade before the game aggressively tries to kill you in loop.

>>737463742Oh, I assumed G1 was just starting the game in the first loop.
Stop trying to make me spend my rent money.
>>737464232Why'd you come into the game recommendation thread if you weren't interested in getting any new games?
>>737463975that's one of the not-crowns that you can equip if you want, in my opinion doing a run with it is the hardest achievement to get (even the realism badge isn't that hard when you realize that boosting and turbos lets you break through the lethal walls). But getting a gold medal on some of the achievements are significantly harder, but that's if you want to go above and beyond.
Night Striker Gear is a rail shooter directed by Hiroshi Iuchi (Ikaruga, Gradius 5). The camera is kind of jank, but it scratches the rail shooter itch something serious and is probably only beaten out by Ex-Zodiac imohttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3290390/NIGHT_STRIKER_GEAR/

>>737439597Thirding Zexion. It's a metroidvania with horizontal twin-stick shooter gameplay. I'd imagine it plays like shit on KB+M. Super well balanced all-around.
>>737439597looks good, but 20 bucks is fucking insane. I'll just pirate it instead
>>737440346This one looks neat as fuck, with 39 reviews at 100% under a month, even. Funny that I'm about to start Minishoot' Adventures in a few days and a review mentions they're similar.

>>737451095Not entirely true, I'm the one that mentioned the game and I discovered it because Gobou posted this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_e5f65iRQrwI kind of get it, he probably wanted his game to be able to stand on it's own without just riding the wave from his Touhou animations being so popular.

>>737457606You might enjoy Time Break Chronicles or Splintered if you're looking for more along the same lines. Personally I didn't really like Splintered since the classical Dragon Quest style gameplay didn't transition over well to a roguelite, but you might be different.And also, I know a fair number of people who get filtered by the art style for the game. It's a shame because I think it legitimately looks good when you're playing it and see how cohesive it actually is in practice.
>>737444554Nah it plays like shit, the controls are bad and level design is awful. The shitty voice acting and writing are the cherry on top.

AchronRTS with time travel mechanics. Ugly, gameplay feels rather stiff, but the time travel stuff is really innovative/unique and worth experiencing.
>>737404258My pick is definitely Charlie the Duck. I played this back in the Windows 98 days.

I should replay some timeOr just get that game, but i hate that art style, i need pixels
>>737480970Review numbers are a factor of awareness. If you had no clue about the existence of Terraria that wouldn't suddenly make it a hidden gem. Otherwise everyone will just post popular shit and call it a hidden gem, rendering the thread useless.

did HE WHO CONSORTS WITH BEASTS ever come out
>>737481374Yeah years ago, he's now in Tim Sweeney's pocket and trying to get a big payout from suing Volvo.
>>737481104Agreed, though I wouldn't say hard cutting off at a specific number is reasonable, it's basically forcing a particular range of popularity to become even more ignored than the actually super hidden games. Would a sequel game with 300 reviews be considered a hidden game if the first game had over 1000 reviews? It's too subjective a topic to be arguing about it with purely objective metrics.
>>737404258https://store.steampowered.com/app/293160/AntharioN/i haven't played it but looks kind of cool, the kind of rpgs that i hear about on /v/
>>737481528>Would a sequel game with 300 reviews be considered a hidden game if the first game had over 1000 reviews?I think so, actually. It's not uncommon for sequels to come out and for no one, not even the fans to see it. Soundodger for example was a reasonable success, but none of that transferred to the sequel. Same with Gunlocked to Gunlocked 2.This isn't really to put an objective measurement on the review range but rather that people really should think more about what they're gonna share as a hidden gem.
>>737481668I saw it happen with Freedom Planet 2, but the game costing 25 bucks might've had something to do with that. The developers also refuse to lower the price even four years later, which is kinda retarded.

*shares with u all his hidden gems in ur path*
So I finally got around to this one and it's surprisingly good, I don't know if anyone else has tried the combination dating sim and detective novel thing.You have to tread a fine line because women are naturally manipulative but some are just lusting after an older man, while others may be deliberately trying to seduce you to throw you off your investigation. Still others might not trust you with certain details until you flirt with them a bit.Maybe staring at someone's breasts is the right move in certain circumstances, or maybe they deliberately took their shirt off to draw your eyes away from something incriminating. Both occurred. The first time the game asked me if I wanted to ogle some breasts I figured "Why not, it couldn't hurt?"I got suspicious a minute later though and reloaded to check. She had been attempting to distract me and looking at her breasts mean you miss some evidence sitting in plain sight.So yeah, the better detective game that came out this month, I think. The other one I played was Moses and Plato.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3600360/Rose_Academy/
>>737484970It's not coomerslop. The game has no sex or nudity. It's a horror game that has some sexy costumes and that's it. The dev is also very passionate and he's releasing a free DLC soon.
>>737485181>those are some nice hidden gems you got there>it would be a pity if i decided to make a youtube video about them
>>737475230One of the successes, every so often I pull it off and a demo I enjoyed and attempted to talk about actually caught on around here. It was neat because you could read the developer's blogposts and a sudden random wishlist spike corresponded with the exact day I made a thread that got to the bump limit.The game itself did extremely well for a solo developer, he made hundreds of thousands of dollars he doesn't have to share with anybody. The sequel hook at the end of the game might end up being real. Or maybe he was just going to do a DLC to explain it I forget.
>>737464924
>>737486059Even if you're the dev shilling for yourself, good on youI only watched a video on it, but I'm happy to see this game doing well, proven but dead genre (Parasite Eve like turn based combat horror) executed well with some fan service and obvious love for the genre/adjacent ones, wish there were more indie games like this and not so much dude depression slop

>>737486260What's the threshold on positive reviews to get in though ?
>>737486375As if I'd give a fuck what a review says. You ever read those things? They're retarded. No no no. I only trust my own evaluation of a video game. Nobody else's. The review quantity is strictly to indicate how many other seekers have discovered the gem I found. Usually the reviews are whining about the difficulty, or they've done some dumb shit like purchasing a survival horror game and throwing a tantrum about tank controls. Or the foreign language reviews are overwhelmingly negative because of nonsensical drama I don't give a fuck about, as occurred in Tokyo Psychodemic.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/575940/The_Tenth_Line/Really fun JRPG inspired game. I think its rough, but very unique and actually forces the player to make use of the quirks of the combat system along with its various mechanics.

It's decent, but it's really only a nice novelty if you're a fan of something like Yume Nikki.https://store.steampowered.com/app/296870/Dreaming_Sarah/>2k+ reviewshttps://store.steampowered.com/app/2505210/Awakening_Sarah/>49 reviewsGranted the sequel only came out last year, but that's still an absurd drop in attention, especially since the sequel is definitely an improvement.>>737481773 is also a good example, though the sequel still has over 1k reviews so it's not fully applicable to the thread. Either way, I don't want to drift away from the thread topic with all this talk.

>>737490014>pretending you had any choice besides not playing itokay wittle fox I'm sure those grapes were sour
>>737490239it was a hiddem gem to me alright i just found out about it
>>737490287nta, but are there any good point & click game recs for someone who isn't really a fan of the genre?
>>737490519not him but are you looking for more fun/amusing/goofy point'n'clicks or serious story games?
>>737490580probably more on the serious side ideally
>>737427526bump!
>>737404980This game was fucking great, glad to see someone else shilling it
>>737490637I liked https://store.steampowered.com/app/336140/Unavowed/ a lot. I beat it in 14 hours so it isn't a huge time investment. The story was lots of fun, you get a small variety of different party members, and without getting into heavy spoilers, this is a rare game where your choices DO matter to some extent.If you like it, check out the Blackwell games by the same dev.
>>737490750thanks, I'll check it out on sale
>>737490519Well, that's an interesting one. Point and Clicks for non-fans. Usually I suggest things for people who already like them.So in your case, probably just go for the most obvious recommendation. The Secret of Monkey Island. If you haven't played it, you should. Everyone loves it. It doesn't trap you in scenarios you would consider unfair like other examples.It's goofy though. A more serious one that is also well received? Maybe...What remains of edith finch? The Captain is also a possibility.Heroine's Quest: Herald of Ragnarok is what I would suggest if you WERE a fan of the genre. or any game by that studio really.
