Dungeon Rampage

Hello everyone hows it going? Today we talk about dungeon rampage a little indie title that expects you to you guessed it rampage in a dungeon so let’s talk about it but first a huge thank you to gamebreaking studios for sending me the key its always appreciated let’s dive in.

Dungeon rampage has you fighting through different levels against hordes of monsters the game would fit in with horde games if it had more monsters. You make your way through the dungeon map finding money and xp stars along the way as well as mana cups to fill your mana.

After you make your way through and exit the level you arrive at the stat screen were your xp is added up it tells you how many enemies you killed and shows you any chest you grab along the way at the main menu you have a training area for stats a shop a tavern and the main mission area and thats it really nothing grand sadly. In the tavern your able to get new characters as long as you have the crystals for them which you gain 5 everytime you level up.
And thats about all the good of the game cause right from the start you can tell this game wasnt designed for pc which is where I played it on you see Dungeon Rampage used to be a mobile game and what they did was take out the pay part and left the rest of the grind which you will notice the game was designed to spend money with how much the characters and items cost and the fact ypu get so little money from each run but to open a chest its 800 coin or more per chest. Honestly they needed to spend more time with balancing stuff in the game between prices and rewards the pay to win aspect is still very much visible during game play.

Do I have anything bad to say about the game no cause even though it was a mobile pay to win game I still had my fun with it and in the end thats what matters did you have fun and I did I would love to see some work done on the pricing of items I can tell you right away many players will leave the game if the rewards are way to far out of reach and right now they are.

Again a big thank you to gamebreaking studios for sending me there game to check out dont give up guys I know this can be a fun time killer with some tweaks have a great day everyone and game on

DeadCore Redux

Paris, France, December 10, 2025 – 5 Bits Games announces that players will return to the Tower when DeadCore Redux launches on PC via Steam on January 15, 2026. A free downloadable demo is also available now on Steam, allowing players to experience part of the game ahead of release.

This challenging first-person platformer drops you into a colossal structure hanging in the void, where every jump, shot, and Dash feeds into a single goal: reach the Summit and break the Cycle. After an endless fall through magnetic storms, you wake with no memories facing a massive Tower in the mist, and each level turns that climb into a dense mix of moving platforms, traps, and patrolling entities that reward bold, fast routes and clean runs.

At the core of DeadCore Redux stands the SwitchGun, a versatile tool that lets you toggle platforms, gravity fields, and patrolling entities in real time, tying every shot to your movement as you chain dashes, unlock upgrades, and turn safe routes into high-speed lines with new shortcuts and secret areas. The game pushes you to master each level, learning routes and refining timing until runs feel seamless, while Sparks unlock challenging bonus stages, Logs reveal the Tower’s past explorers, and music tracks feed into a custom Speedrun Mode playlist. A dedicated Speedrun Mode with online leaderboards, extra Sparks levels tuned for optimization, and a tiered rank system that scores your performance turns the climb into a true playground for routing and competition.

Dont Scream Together

DON’T SCREAM TOGETHER recovers from a disaster launch to reach 200,000 sales in seven days
Despite launching to mostly negative reviews, the game became a real redemption story
Manchester, UK – December 10th, 2025  –  DON’T SCREAM TOGETHER has sold more than 200,000 copies in its first week on Steam, but Digital Cybercherries, the team behind the viral action figure shooter Hypercharge: Unboxed, say the milestone is not the whole story. For them, the real achievement is how the team came together after a difficult launch.

At release, many players ran into major technical issues that affected the game’s core mechanics, including microphone calibration and in-game audio. Digital Cybercherries say these problems did not appear during internal testing and only became clear once thousands of players joined at launch. The game opened at 23 percent mostly negative on Steam, which was very difficult for the five-person team. The team say they also underestimated how ambitious the project was from a technical point of view. DON’T SCREAM TOGETHER uses a microphone mechanic as its main system, and while it worked well during development, the move to multiplayer added many new challenges across different setups. They now realise this twist on horror was more complex than they expected once it reached a large and varied audience.
Instead of stepping back, the team chose to meet players directly. They replied to reviews, released rapid updates, and wrote open messages explaining the problems and the fixes. Players saw the team working, listening and improving the game in real time. This approach helped rebuild trust. One player who posted a negative review later changed it to positive after the team reached out and helped them resolve an issue. Many others have updated their reviews after seeing how quickly the problems were addressed. The Steam rating has climbed from 23 percent mostly negative to nearly 60 percent mixed and continues to rise as more players join.

The team say they believe the continued sales and improving review score reflect how players responded to their open and transparent communication. Many players have said this honesty was a key reason they decided to support the game.
“People do not lose trust because a game has problems. They lose trust when developers pretend those problems are not there. So we decided to face everything head-on,” said Joe Henson, Creative Gameplay and Marketing Director at Digital Cybercherries. “We want to thank everyone who stayed with us, shared feedback and gave us the chance to make things right.”
The studio says they will continue to work through bugs and improvements and are confident the game will keep recovering as they listen to feedback and nurture it. They add that although the mixed rating and the early issues were difficult to face, they take full responsibility. They would not change the experience, as it taught them lessons they say will make their team better in the long run.

DON’T SCREAM TOGETHER is a co op experience about friendship, fear and keeping your voice down. Up to four players try to survive the night by exploring, finding batteries for their camcorders and speaking quietly through a forest that may or may not be haunted. If anyone screams, the whole group restarts. A new mode called Hunted turns loud players into a hunter who can stalk the rest of the group using proximity voice.
Key FeaturesUse Proximity Voice Chat to whisper, panic, and argue in real-time; only nearby players can hear youChoose between two modes: scream and restart, or scream and return as the hunterExplore the forest and discover hidden locations, symbols, relics, and secretsFind batteries to power your camcorder and keep it runningDynamic scares make every playthrough feel newTime only moves when you do; keep movingMicrophone may flag laughing, coughs, sneezes, burps, and farts as a screamA beautiful, relaxing walk in the forest (may contain traps)Some jump scares might be… real?Voice chat may become ASMR

We’re teasing upcoming Blackjack and Trucco modes as well, so stay tuned for more!”

Sharing this return to horror with the world is both exciting and terrifying”, said Endflame co-founders Laura Ripoll and Guillem Travila.
