About Maelstrom

Unique system ‘rewind’
Use the rewind ability to save your position, then use it again to return to that position without any interruption. If you use your abilities well, you can pass through seemingly impossible attacks or obstacles. Also, rewind can be used during combat. By attacking the enemy while rewinding, some or all of the damage taken can be refunded. Use this actively to help with limited recovery means!

Various movement actions
Combining rewind with moving actions such as 'dash' to move a long distance at once and 'climbing up a wall' to create multiple movements, and actively utilize the surrounding terrain to create challenging platforming difficulties.

Variety of upgrades
In addition to simple stat-increasing upgrades, take advantage of the ‘artifact’ system that allows you to flexibly change your character according to the situation. Artifacts provide their own powerful upgrades, and Artifacts can be replaced at any time while resting. There are also 3 powerful spells available to assist with basic attacks. Unlock upgrades through exploration!

Challenging Expeditions
Explore 4 different themed areas! Defeat or dodge menacing enemies that stand in your way, and solve the puzzles that exist there to advance. Explore puzzles, combine abilities to design your own route, and break through puzzles with quick wits!

[table] [tr] [th]Review for [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/41373651-Governator-Gaming/] Governator Gaming [/url] - Steam Deck approved![/th] [/tr] [/table] Fun, difficult game with subpar pixel graphics (that is to be expected from an under-5$ game). Game mechanics, notably the "rewind" button, are what makes this review a recommendation from me. Tested on a Steam Deck and works flawlessly without having to mess with the controls. Disclaimer: I got a copy of this game for review by the developer and it doesn't change what I think: I genuinely had fun playing on my Deck by the bonfire. Game time played shown on Steam does not reflect reality.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.

The Toxic Commando Game Pass add landed on 12 November. Our price record since late September shows the key route barely moved, which changes what a subscription is worth.
