Caveman World: Mountains of Unga Boonga reminds me of a late 90s shovelware PC title in many ways.

It was 50 cents during the Steam sale and a bunch of people bought and reviewed it ironically of course. A "friend" of mine gifted it to me and it's complete loving poo poo.

I like how "ENEMY EVADING" is a featured gameplay mechanic. You mean I don't have to run headlong into every enemy for immediate game over? Revolutionary!

You know, LIMBO was a decent game and all, but you know what it was missing? Eye-searing, nauseating lighting!

Thankfully, GRIMIND is here to set things right.

Trolling Steam releases for 'gems' is surprisingly fun. A lot of games look bad for fairly boring reasons, but some really stand out.

I present Reptilians Must Die!:

quote:

"Reptilians Must Die" - an amazing adventure game with a gripping storyline, based on the right patriotic education and spiritual scrapie fixed!

2015. Mikhail Ivanovich carry out his duties of president of Russia, and suddenly at the height of work day aliens call. They say that they are ready to destroy the humanity and only MI can save the planet from destruction. Sure MI accepts the challenge. But not alone - true friends, women that are in love with him and of course people of Russia. Journey to the future, space flight, meeting with Stalin - that's what will wait for you in new original game "Reptilians Must Die"!




For the life of me, my brain just stops working when I try to interpret that last screenshot. :pwn:

There's just something really odd with the animations and the jump cuts with arrows. Truly a worthy competitor to the Total war series.

Have a Youtube link to the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PKO_-uf2oQ

It's Early Access, for whatever that's worth. The second trailer in the store page is... uh. It's something.

On the one hand, posting shovelware horror games is almost kind of cheating since there's so goddamned many of them thanks to an endless supply of screaming idiots on YouTube willing to play them for a shot at e-fame. On the other hand, most of the developers of these shovelware titles aren't brazen enough to literally name themselves the Assets Games Company.

In particular this game's trailer is worth a watch since they couldn't even be bothered to have the game running at a non-choppy framerate when they recorded it. Here's a couple screenshots from the store page anyway, though:

"The main character wakes up in a tunnel of the subway and tries to find out that happened to it and other passengers of the train. To understand that after all it happened to the gone passengers, the player should investigate strange catacombs being deeply underground."

I'm intrigued!

Bloodbath Kavkaz is what happens when a Russian imageboard makes a meme-filled knockoff of Hotline Miami about killing Muslims and then turns it into a commercial product by tracing all the copyrighted photos.









The one redeeming thing about it is that the soundtrack is actually pretty awesome.

Apparently they took the music from artists without their permission and then harassed the artists to let them use it until the artists said yes.

Legends of Persia is a Diablo clone that is so bad that the developer just patched in level skip cheat codes rather than make the game actually functional.

What happens when you take a lovely, no effort could-have-been-a-browser game that would probably be a bottom feeder on Newgrounds and actually charge money for it? You get the delightfully terrible Clergy Splode, which shows off almost 100% of its gameplay in its trailer and STILL manages to bore and annoy in one and a half minutes.

I feel like I've somehow traveled back in time to the early 2000s and I'm about to read a Lowtax-written review of this on the school computers since it's got late 90s/early 00s bargain bin shovelware written all over it despite being apparently developed in 2016. I half expected the publisher to be listed as Valu-Soft.
