Artisan TD demo downloaded while watching this, because a good TD game is like catnip for my ADHD hyperfocus. Of the others, there's several that I've watch the Splattercat videos for and some look really fun, some look interesting and some look like good games even if they aren't for me. (I don't do city builders very often and I'm pretty uninterested in any multiplayer/utterly uninterested in anything PvP.)
@@TenkieiGaming For more details: Tactical Breach Wizards is both fun and funny, I played a bit over 3 hours of the demo roughly a week ago. It's been said that it's 'more of a turn-based puzzle' as the ability to rewind so much of combat means that you are trying things until you find the path that lets you win/pass the level. Though the achievement/alternate skin unlocks heavily encourage repeated runs through a given level differently, some being mutually exclusive while others are just very difficult to get both in the one run. Endzone 2 looks good but not really my warm beverage. Airborne Empire both looks fun and is a sequel/spin-off to Airborne Kingdom, which was mostly a city-builder that had no combat, whilst Empire does have combat and is set a significant but un-mentioned time after the events of the first game. In both, maintaining the balance of your flying city is an important feature and bad things happen if you don't. Presumably having combat in the new one means that you have to worry about having that balance being destroyed by attackers/is something you can take advantage of when attacking enemy flying cities, if there are any. (Neither seen nor stated in the video I've seen but it feels rather implied that there will be at least some.) Bulwark: FC is truly gorgeous but doesn't seem to share much with AE apart from the flying units. All the city building in B:FC is ground-based that I've seen, while AE is all airborne, though there is a bunch of (important) interaction between the two layers in both admittedly. First Dwarf looks like fun based on the video I've seen but I haven't actually tried the demo (yet). Drill Core looks like possibly fun, possibly very frustrating and potentially both based on video, but again, not yet played any. Reka looks very evocative, immersive and unique. How many games let you play as Baba Yaga's apprentice, after all? Aska looks like it could well be a good game based on just what's shown in this video, but perhaps not really my warm beverage. That would depend on where the balance between 'ARPG' and 'survival/town builder' lies. Mirthwood looks like at least a decent entry into the genre, but I haven't played Harvest Moon to compare and it's not really my genre anyway. Aaaaand that's more than enough of a Wall Of Text for today.
Oh, no timestamps. So I have to watch the whole video after work and do an edit to see how many of your demos are also already in my steam library since yesterday😅 I have downloaded 18 demos in total and I think I will do it as usual: One evening, many games. Means that I start a game, take 20-40 minutes per game and see how the first impression is. Is the impression good, I keep the game on the wishlist. If the first impression is not good but the concept sounds good (E. G. The demo is a strategy game and you only have 5 units but the full game will have 15) then I keep it as a potential game on the wishlist. If the first impression is not good and there is no further improvement to see like game changes or endgame, I will just remove the game from my wishlist😅 That way I have finished those 18 demos in like 2 evenings.
So yeah, games that you mentioned and I Already downloaded the demos to test: - SWORN - Wizard of Legend 2 - First Dwarf And surprisingly, that's it :D There are a few other games which do have a demo and got recommended to me with the steam demo festival even tho some demos are older. Those are: - Meta-Ghost: The Breaking Show - eWorlds - Creatures of Ava - The Desolation - Level Zero:Extraction - Shell Runner - Galaia - Evil V Evil - Edit: Forgot to add "Slime heroes" And another Demo to maybe try our is Novivors. Sadly that game has a few annoying bugs but the publisher reacts to the few discussion topics within a few days so it seems to get some attention. If the developer will adapt a few things or not tho is a different story😅
No timestamps because I went through stuff rapid fire haha. Surprisingly I haven't heard of a lot of the other demos you mentioned, though I definitely looked at the steam pages for Shell Runner and Level Zero: Extraction recently.

I'm not much into pvp either unless it's more of a tactics game / card game.

no chance I'll play any of these, except maybe aska
