Three Dirty Dwarves is a very unique and comedic take on a beat em up, I'd probably call it a variety action game. It's really damn good and I'd love to see a re-release of the PC version to run on modern hardware.
Loved playing the demo on Sega Saturn when I was kid. It was a blast for it's time with all of the destruction involved! Hopefully this is brought back to life along with online multiplayer!
This was one of my 1st games that i bought on PC. The combat is smooth, the comedic take and with that amazing sound track, this is a blast from the start. Unfortunately its very underrated. i still feel bad for when i lost the CD, haunted to this day. I wish this would be brought back to live not only for nostalgia but it deserve a spotlight.

The Witcher: Crimson Trail
The Witcher: Crimson TrailGeralt, a promising young student, has just completed his training to become an elite monster slayer - a witcher. He has survived arduous tests and intense physical conditioning to become something more than human. Coupled with the esoteric knowledge passed on from veteran witchers, his training has prepared Geralt for whatever evil lurks out in the real world - and has given him the tools to eliminate it. Rumors from local villagers lead him to a dark and twisted forest where a fearsome beast is said to prey on the innocent. Yet as he delves deeper, Geralt soon finds out that a much more insidious evil has taken root in the land, and stopping it will require all of his skill and cunning. Not only will he have to fight his way through legions of monsters across various landscapes, but the decisions he makes along the way will mean the difference between ultimate victory and crushing defeat. Become Geralt, the young witcher, as he sets out on his first adventure - and his final test.

Spectral Souls
Spectral Souls"Spectral Souls - Resurrection of the Ethereal Empires" (English Version), the first Full Size Tactical RPG for Android platform available for your favorite Smartphone : Neverland is a world apart from our own, home to strange and dangerous creatures. Two of these creatures, humans and demons, have been struggling against each other for many years. As the centuries passed, control shifted from demons to humans and back again. The humans finally earned a clear victory after the First Neverland War. But this left the country in ruins and led directly to the Second Neverland War, which saw the decisive victory of the demons once again. Magic Age 1053— Tragedy strikes the small woodland village of Petun—the town is attacked and burned to the ground by vicious Neverland troops. But Petun is only the first of many massacres; the Demon Army tears through every human village it can find, slaughtering the people as it goes. Humiliated and infuriated by these abuses, the humans begin to resist and fight back. It starts as a rash of disorganized, sporadic riots. But it soon grows into something more, something meaningful. These uprisings become a beacon of hope to all humans, spurring them on to unite and form a new empire. They choose a name to reflect their most noble traditions, to reflect a time when they ruled over the demon horde. They call it the Reformed Simba Empire. Petun—little more than a bump in the road, a mark on a map. But this is where it all started, where the undercurrent of disdain and hatred overflowed into a bloody torrent of death and destruction, drowning Neverland in war for years to come. This is where our story begins—the story of the Seven Year War.
