Bloon popping ASMR

Fantastic tactical rpg with a really fun class system as well as giving you plenty of room to explore and rewarding you for doing so.
Skills and magic can be used out of combat for some really creative interactions on the enviroment allowing more than one solution to many hurdles or just making your own shortcuts; using either equipment, items or magic.
There is a lot of variety on the enemies you fight, and the game has 2 difficulty settings you can fiddle with: one for the enemy stats and another one for how smart the AI should be, smarter settings having enemies take a bit longer to "think" their moves.
The game uses exp but not a level up system, instead you trade exp to learn and upgarde skills but only for your currently equipped class, and unlocking new classes requires reaching a certain amount of exp on other classes. This lets you slowly learn different classes as you unlock them in the order you want, but even then many basic classes remain useful even late game. You can have a main class and a subclass, letting you use skills from 2 differenct classes, opening up a lot of room for creative combinations to fulfill different roles in your 4 character party.
Very fun game

Really fun game coop or solo, constantly receiving major updates with new free content,

Piccross! Nonograms! whatever you want to call them, you know the drill. And if you dont then the game will also teach you.
Very charming and fun, and lots of funny and lovely characters.

Really cute and cozy game. Explore the island, meet characters and help around while finding paths to climb.

Lots of balancing needs to be done

RULES OF NATURE

Nox did nothing wrong

The game starts dropping you off on a cargo ship, with a helicopter behind you even thou the intro shows you being teleported there, and as soon you tke control of your character the first things you notice are a headcrab jumping at you and some guns right behind him.
The game is VERY short, took me less than an hour to beat it taking a few dumb deaths here and there. I would be careful about spoilers but the plot is so insignificant i dont think anyone would care.

You explore the ship while a rain effect seems to cause random framerate drops on occasion, collect a few extra guns and try to reach the ship's control room. here a NPC advances the plot opening a door back where you spawned, so you have to backtrack there shooting some new enemies ad jump into the lower deck. Here an... interesting boss battle takes place.
I liked the boss, even thou its just a pale Nihilnat with a barnacle for a mouth, so it looks like its attempting to catch you with its tongue to eat you. That was the one cool part about this mod. Shortly after beating the boss the game ends, playing the credits and at the end the game closes itself. Not like there is much replay value on a 20-45 miutes long mod.

It doesnt really introduce anything new other than the boss, and 2 or 3 reskinned grunts or scientists.. The music that starts playing at some points is a bit too loud and doesnt really fit too much. The one NPC that you interact with speaks with minor typos.
Honestly, i have seen Sven Coop maps with more content and that last longer than this whole mod.

Its free so there is no pain in playing it i guess, but you wont miss anything by skipping this. Except maybe one sorta cool boss idea kinda maybe. Not really.
