"Yokai Art: Survival Prologue" isn't a real game, it's an advertisement/demo that's taking up a store page that might better be made available to a more genuine developer. The game this is advertising is a weak Plants vs Zombies ripoff (I wonder if they will get sued for stealing someone else's game idea). The full game has some different game modes that aren't present in this advert. This is only free in the same way that adverts on Youtube and banner ads in your browser are. This is a game demo that's been dumped on Steam to advertise another Steam store page in the hopes of raking in some cash. Just because advertisements are free, doesn't mean they're worth your time. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at less than 100 concurrent players, and now there's basically nobody playing it. Even though it's free. This is a dismal public reception, but it's easy to see why gamers rejected it. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Not this time. This isn't worth downloading. While this won't c…

I actually own the full game of this prologue & believe me, this game is worth it! Even though this free version only has the "Survival Mode" only; the full game does comes with an actual comic book story to play along with; Full access to the complete roster on "Survival Mode;" Looking behind the scenes of your favorite female characters; Giving them meals; Upgrading your army of your Supporters & your 'Harem' Fighters that your collecting/building; & If you get the DLC's for the full game, well basically your doubling your chances on everything (more or less). The point is, this game really does have beautiful animation arts, hardcore strategizing for the battles, & it's really super fun to play. The full game is called "Yokai Art: Night Parade of One Hundred Demons," the game is worth owning & playing & it shouldn't cost very much. Or you can continue playing this game for free as long as you wish (Even if this prologue game is a demo), but Fair Warning!, if you manage to get to the final boss of this game, that's when the battle will come to a close, & it will reset you back to the beginning, without giving you a chance to fight the final boss himself. Anyways, Enjoy!

Games like Borderlands 3: guns that roll, trees that branch

Games like Borderlands 3 have to do two things at once: roll a new gun every few minutes and make a skill tree worth planning. These manage both, and one asks you to craft instead.
