This one is decent as far as JRPG clones go.
It's mostly linear but with some side-quests (one per village so far except maybe for the first one), also found an early (2 hours in or so) alternative route but with monsters practically OS everyone.

There is some story, a classic one, it holds out but i could do with less cut-scenes (you can skip them so it's alright).

The combat system is decent, best thing about it is the auto-battle option coming with 4 strategies to set for each character.
It could have used a fine tuning tactical settings like in DAO, for example, if i want my thief to steal or use his non-combat skills, i have to start the combat manually instead of clicking auto from the start (he's the fastest so once again, it's alright).

The Dungeon design isn't very good but most of the "classics" JRPG have a terrible dungeon design (Phantasy Star III comes to mind).

The character development system is better than the basic "stats grows automatically on level-up" system with a selection of plates (like a warrior one, or berserker, mage or hero plate with a lot of variants for each "class") but when you get 13 pages worth of plates, finding the good ones becomes a hassle.

It works for the first 4 hours, then, the plate selecting thing gets old, i don't think it'd be too hard to fix this, except for that, only the dungeon design sucks.
Good but not great game, will potentially bore you to death in about 4 hours, or not...

Crusaders of the Tinfoil Hat

https://doomcult.itch.io/crusaders-of-the-tinfoil-hat

In this hard-scifi CRPG set in the 2010s, the UFO hunters were right - somewhat - and it's just your luck to get caught between their crusade and the blowback.

• Gameplay-focused small indie production with low-poly 3D graphics, iso view, no voiceovers, and no cutscenes.
• Challenging turn-based combat with improvised weapons, police/military gear, and top-secret & alien tech. Brute force will only get you so far - then you'll need tactical savvy, recon, preparation, and savescumming when all else fails.
• Equally challenging non-combat gameplay including B&E, espionage, impersonation, seduction, blackmail, hacking, and trolling.
• Full-featured savegame system including 10-slot quicksave and mid-combat saves. Expect to need it.
• Nonlinear fragmentary narrative. Real choices. Game-changing consequences.
• Over 10 distinct endings with countless variations.
• Up to 8 player characters including player-controlled NPC recruits.
• 8 body archetypes with unique 3D models and innate strengths & weaknesses, modifiable with dozens of traits.
• 6 core stats and 12 practical/social skills to level up as you progress.

Project's name has been changed.

Are you seriously using 'Russian' tag for games? You fucking racist much? Jesus. Need special tags 'American', 'German', 'French', 'Belgian', etc.

What happened to the Spire of Sorcery thread?

Yes.

It would help to avoid garbage. For instance, I can ignore everything tagged American.

https://www.neutraworks.net/#secret-war

Every bigger world war 2 operation had its secret pre-operations. Taking prisoners and interrogations. Stealing secret materials and decoding them. Sabotaging enemy supply routes or ammunition warehouses. A number of secret pre-operations we have never heard of.

Secret war is a WW2 tactical turn-based strategy game inspired by Silent storm, Jagged Alliance or Xcom. Secret war lets you build and improve your base, recruit your team members and establish stable resistance groups against Nazi Germany and its allies all over the Europe.

Spoiler

No updates in about year, so I wouldn't get my hopes up.

I'll add it to potential vaporware section. That way, we at least have it recorded somewhere.

I was smelling some real time party-based with cool-downs shit and it looks like it's exactly that, i'm not sure about the CD though.

Also, they're proud of their features:

• 5 Classes
• 20 abilities

That's 4 per class, really amazing.

Yes. It's a quality mark at this point, sorta like german engineered. Deal with it
