Highly Recommended Games for ¥1 Out of Your Own [Steam Summer Sale Edition - Rules]

I think you can probably guess just by looking at the title, but this time I would like to write about the rules I follow when writing articles.

- During the summer sale, only 1 yen can be used to purchase games.
*Includes DLC and soundtrack set.
・We will not introduce software that you have already purchased.
※Because I can't buy it for myself...
・When introducing games in articles, only games that have been played for more than two hours will be accepted.
*If you play for up to 2 hours you can get a refund, so that's not good.

In addition to the above rules, the following applies to this summer sale:Road TripI will also explain how to handle ".
500 yen discount for purchases over 3,000 yenThis will be deducted from the total payment.
You can get 1,500 yen off 3,000 yen in three installments, soYou will be able to spend 11,500 yen..
Of course I will use it. I will use it to the fullest. This is how you spend money wisely!

correction!
"11,500 yen out of pocket - Highly recommended game"This is it."
Addendum correction
Road trips areCan only be applied onceIt was a system.
We would like to correct this as it was not a bug cheat coupon like Epic's.
As a result, the "10,500 yen - Highly Recommended Games" rating has been revised downward.

Highly Recommended Games for ¥1 Out of Your Own [Steam Summer Sale Edition]

Now that we've gone over the rules, I'd like to introduce some games that I highly recommend and will cost 1 yen out of my own pocket.
I haven't decided on a specific order for introducing them, but they're roughly in the order in which I played them.
Of course, this was after I'd played for more than two hours and thoroughly checked out the game's content.
Depending on the game, there are some parts that you won't understand until you've played for more than 10 hours, so I only add content that I can properly recommend once I've confirmed it.
I play with pride so that the article doesn't end up looking like it has no content!
*It seems there are three things at stake: the content and whether it's there or not!

DoDonPachi Revival [1,214 yen]

DoDonPachi is so famous that it is often referred to as the first bullet hell shooter.
The Steam version is based on the Great Resurrection ver. 1.5.Dodonpachi Great Resurrection Black Label" is also included!
The autobomb system makes it a relatively easy game to get into, but recommending it to people with no experience playing STGs makes me think "hmm."
However, I would like to dare to recommend a major comeback!
If you start with Novice, which is for beginners, it's not that difficult, and after playing for two hours you'll get used to it enough to be able to complete the game without continuing.
*This may vary depending on the individual.

I would recommend playing this game especially since the STG genre has become quite niche.
DoDonPachi is the father of bullet hell shooters, so let's play it this summer!

GUILTY GEAR Xrd REV 2 (960 yen)

The release of the new title GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE- has also been announced.
I bought the latest model, REV2.

REV2 is positioned as an upgrade of its predecessor, REVELATOR.
If you just want to enjoy the story, you can just buy -REVELATOR-, but I thought I'd try playing against other players (even though it's a little late), so I bought the REV2 pack.
If you only want the main game and DLC characters
GUILTY GEAR Xrd -REVELATOR- (+DLC Characters) + REV 2 All-in-One
Just purchase it!

I decided to play it just to see the story, and it was simply amazing.
The story mode is so good that people say that if you buy the Guilty Gear anime, you get a fighting game included.
Be sure to take this opportunity to try it out!

*If you're just interested in the story, you can enjoy it for 596 yen!

Killer Instinct [1,092 yen]

This time I bought the one that came with the soundtrack.
EVO2020It has also been chosen as the title of the hottest fighting game right now, and it's no exaggeration to say that it's the hottest fighting game right now!

Basically, the characters that appear are all those that are called malicious XX, and all of them have been adjusted to the point that they could be said to have broken abilities.
For example, "Jago".
He appears to be an orthodox protagonist character with ammunition, anti-aircraft, and charge attacks, but his performance is terrible.
Hitting an enemy in an enhanced state (during Instinct) will restore their health.
Invincible Throw at the Feet: A special move that sends the opponent flying to the edge of the screen while invincible, making it a combo starter.
This is pretty standard, with two options: Shoryuken or Koma Throw, and if you land a Shoryuken it will transition into a combo.
A character with a Koma Throw ability that starts 1 frame and goes dark 0 frames. He can do things like go around the back with a simple step, cancel a Hadoken into a Shoryuken, etc.
All the characters are overpowered, but on the other hand it's a great game that's well balanced!

You might be wondering what kind of end-of-the-century game this is, but because strong moves are easy to understand, I can proudly say that this is a fighting game that can actually be recommended to beginners!
*Soundtrack bundled version is 1,092 yen

428 ~In Blocked Shibuya~ [792 yen]

Finally! I finally bought the title I've been wanting to play for years!

The genre is classified as a sound novel.
The basic gameplay involves following the story, choosing options, and progressing the story towards the conclusion.
One of the features of 428 is the KEEP OUT and JUMP systems, but because it places too much emphasis on gameplay, I feel that these systems may not be suitable for people who want to enjoy the story.
Advance through the story → encounter KEEP OUT → story stops → search for the keyword → use JUMP to release KEEP OUT.
The rule is as follows.

The story itself is excellent, and I feel that it is a very well-made sound novel.
I think this will appeal to anyone who enjoys unraveling complex, intertwined stories little by little.
428 itself is not a particularly new title, but it is popular enough to have been ported many times.
I would like people who like the sound novel genre, but I would also like people who have never played a sound novel to pick it up and give it a try.
First, play the opening part and if you get drawn in, just keep playing.
If you feel like it's not for you, you can just ask for a refund!
*By the way, one of the main characters, "Kano", is from Garren! (Just a little otaku element)

Miniature Garden Explorer More [588 yen]

Notes
This game is a discovery of a new world.
It also contains information to help you understand various other complications.

A cute and soft game screen reminiscent of retro games.
A quarter-view top-down action RPG.
What's particularly noteworthy is that the female characters are just so cute.
The term "female characters" also includes enemy monsters.

I think girls who are modeled in 3D are nice (like Tifa from FF7R!), but I personally think that hand-drawn pixel art characters are more wank-worthy.
The point to be emphasized is "fetishismThis means that " has entered the realm of masters.
Even though I can love it, I may have entered the "zone" to some extent...
Well, if you're even slightly interested after seeing the images posted here and the video on the store page, then you're a true friend.

Please enjoy it along with recommended games.

7/5 postscript

I was playing a game I bought for an article and before I knew it, it was light outside.
Games are fun after all!
Well, that means the second half of the event has begun.

Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth (1,056 yen)

This work is a 2D exploration action game, so-calledMetroidvaniaIt is a game that falls into this genre.

Touhou luna nights,Gensokyo Suiya FestivalAmazing 2D pixel art works such as:
The game design itself is simple and easy to understand: explore, acquire new skills and items, and aim to clear stages.
Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth is in early access, with stage 2 recently added.
Some people may have their own concerns about early access titles, but if you pick it up and play it for around 1,000 yen during a sale, I think you'll enjoy it for more than the price.

If the gamer uncle in you is drawn to the pixel graphics, I think it's worth buying just for that.

Ultimate Fishing Simulator (990 yen)

Japanese name "The ultimate fishing simulator” (Uncool

When I play a lot of intense games, sometimes I feel like playing a simulator like this.
The scenery of nature and the slow flow of time are what soothe a weary soul.
Driving and city development are fun, but relaxing with a fishing line is also nice.

Once you select a stage, you'll be transported to the map, where you can see other players fishing around you.
It seems to represent the relaxed connection between fishermen. They cast their fishing lines without any particular greeting.
It's a fairly well-made fishing game compared to other current fishing games, but those who fish in real life may find the game's behavior a little puzzling.
There is a realistic mode, so you can escape from the game-like feel, but...
However, I don't think this game is something you have to complete quickly, but rather something you play while feeling the atmosphere, so I think this level is fine.

You can increase the number of fishing maps by purchasing additional DLC.
*There is also a Japanese stage! If you are interested, you can add it.

DARK SOULS™ III (1,905 yen)

If you're a gamer, DARK SOULS™ III is self-explanatory.

"Steam RecommendationsIf you search for ", it's a work that will almost always be introduced, so there's not much to say.
The PC version has significantly improved graphics, so the scenery seen in the console version looks a little different.
The system has also been thoroughly polished, and it is thought to be the easiest to get into of the Souls series.
"Aren't death games difficult?" "Yes, they are. But I recommend them."
It's a genre that people either love or hate, but it's a classic, sure-fire hit, so I think it's okay to buy it without thinking twice.

The fact that it is loved by people of all ages and genders shows that it has a very attractive appeal.
Let's melt this summer into DARK SOULS™ III!

Risk of Rain 2 (1,900 yen)

In a word, "A loose-looking Destiny" Perhaps?

Although it looks easy, the game is actually a fairly difficult roguelike.
Although it is an early access title, the game volume is considerable, and even the lowest difficulty level is difficult to complete.
Risk of Rain 2 is also a type of game where you repeatedly die and search for the optimal solution.
If you have no problem with the Souls series and like TPS games, this is a title you should play.

The only other thing left is if you don't mind the graphics...
It's designed to be played with multiplayer in mind, so it might be best to play with friends.

1 yen out of my own pocket - results!

Out-of-pocket amount： 10,497 yen
Amount difference： 3 yen

Make sure to use up all 10,500 yen!
I used it up pretty thoroughly!

Finally, I would like to end by briefly introducing a work that I would strongly recommend, although I was unable to include it in this project because I had previously purchased it.
This is a game that I would definitely recommend everyone to pick up and play.

Nex Machina [495 yen]

A twin-stick shooter game where you race through stages against the backdrop of cyberpunk visuals and catchy background music.

The game is simple in its genre: move with the left stick, control the line of fire with the right stick, and attack with the buttons.
The notable thing is
Your character dies in one hit.
・Rescue characters also die from enemy attacks
・Once an invincible action is used, a cooldown occurs.
The game is designed to involve defeating enemies one after another, but your character is not very strong until you strengthen them.
However, you can also set the difficulty level, so it's best to start on easy and then increase the difficulty level.
It's rare to find something so rewarding for just one coin, soSome cheap games!I recommend this work to anyone who thinks, "I want to see more of this!"
The explosive effects of the enemies became so addictive that before I knew it, time had flown by.

Sekiro™: Shadows Die Twice [5,434 yen]

The latest death game from FromSoftware, the evangelist for death game production.

He becomes the Son's ninja, the One-Armed Wolf, and fights.
The biggest difference from the previous Souls series isYou can move around the map in three dimensions."The point is that...
You can run freely in all directions by jumping, dashing, and using the rope.
In stark contrast to the slow pace of the game, this one is quite fast-paced.
The difficulty level is arguably the highest of any FromSoftware game to date.
But, if you play it over and over again, you'll somehow be able to clear it...
