Let's Play Some Demos! - Part 29

"Let's Play Some Demos!" Video Series YouTube Playlist 

Welcome to Part 29 of the Let's Play Some Demos! | LPSD series!
Thank you for your patience! I have been exhausted for the past week. I haven't been able to do much, since getting back from the Renaissance Fair. Big events tire me out. It affected my partner for a few days, too, but it was worth it!

For those who are new, I aim to provide commentary and feedback on game demos for educational purposes! In addition, with how saturated Steam is, let's get these indie games some attention, shall we (and the occasional AAA game I think isn't getting enough attention)?
For this episode, I used some of the demos I had grabbed from the Myths & Legends (I think) & Women's Day Sale Steam Events! 

RULES!
Typically, there are 4 demos. Each demo gets 30 minutes, not including the adjustment of settings and character creation. I might up it to 5 and/or play a great game for longer if there are technical issues. Or a demo finishes before the timer goes off.
And NO AI's spit, aka. plagiarism laundering.

Today, I played 4 demos for your enjoyment:

1. The Axis Unseen by Just Purkey Games - Available
   A heavy metal horror game where you hunt monsters from folklore in an open world. Discover enhanced sense powers, elemental arrows, magic and journals from people who came before you. Almost all of the UI exists in the world itself. Created by one of the developers of Skyrim and Fallout.
2. BLADECHIMERA by Team Ladybug & WSS playground - Available
   Explore a dark and sinister Osaka as the Demon Hunter Shin. Battle demons, regain lost skills, and uncover the truth of your forgotten past in this exciting occult-inspired cyberpunk metroidvania.
3. Europa by Helder Pinto, Chozabu (Alex PB), & Novadust Entertainment - Available
   On the moon Europa, a lush terraformed paradise in Jupiter's shadow, an android named Zee sets out in search of answers. Run, glide and fly across the landscape, solve mysteries in the ruins of a fallen utopia, and discover the story of the last human alive.
4. Moon Tower by BBGAME - Available
   Play as a mechanical being, defeat all enemies, and retrieve the crucial item. Moon Tower is a fast-paced game where you must constantly dodge enemies and eliminate them within each room. Gain different abilities to strengthen yourself and enhance your power.

All links above are to the games' Steam pages.

With all that out the way, here are my opinions, via the "Layered Compliment Sandwich": 

The Axis Unseen 

BLADECHIMERA 

Europa 

Moon Tower

Due to burnout, mentioned here, HEAR YE, HEAR YE! - "GENERAL" ANNOUNCEMENT, I'm not able to finish this. I'm not even excited about trying. We'll see how I feel later on.

Overall, I want all but The Axis Unseen, and they are on my wishlist.
And they're all Available, if you're interested!

And that's it for the mini-review of Part 29! Thank you for reading!
