Do you feel it, Zach?
My coffee warned me about it.


Welcome to the thread where we discuss and make fun of the exceptionally bad but also ridiculously bad games that have been releasing on Steam since Valve stopped giving a gently caress about Greenlight and opened the floodgates. Worst shovelware you've seen in your entire life, "this is totally not the dev's fetish", games that you can't even launch, horrific art and writing, stuff like that.

This is the thread equivalent of the awful Skyrim/Fallout mods threads so only post stuff that is actually hilariously bad, nobody gives a gently caress that you think Fallout 4 is trash, holy poo poo and I'll ban you for smug-posting something like that.

Thread rules:
  • We're only interested in actually hilariously bad games on Steam. If you're not sure if a game fits this theme then don't post it. Something being anime doesn't mean it's automatically thread material but if it also has bad art and dialogue then sure.
  • Always post a Steam link to the game you present. It's also advisable to post screenshots but it's not required.
  • Don't post your unpopular opinion on how some popular title is actually bad, nobody cares.
  • This is a thread to make fun of bad games so the most important rule is to keep things fun and chill. Talk about games, don't go into slapfights about how PC gaming is bad or some poo poo.
  • You may post :nws: content but then always link it and indicate it with the :nws: smilie.

An example of things you should post:

Holy poo poo, check out Miner Ultra Adventures. The video is a pro-click.

There's just something really odd with the animations and the jump cuts with arrows. Truly a worthy competitor to the Total war series.

"More than 3 types of crazy"

Bland RPG Maker games with the standard graphics packages feel like cheating. Sure, they're bad but there are hundreds of them and they all look the same except for the hilariously bad character portraits. You have to dig deep through that pile for the truly bad ones, like this "retro graphics" game with a custom battle system that looks like they were trying to rip off Undertale and failed horribly

the video is terrible, but it looks like they did in fact try to make something that's actually a game, which is saying a lot considering its peers

Sure, if it's not something overdone like Secret of the Magic Crystals then I have nothing against it.

Yeah that what I meant about not stuff like Bad Rats.

And as I mentioned, Eternity's Child is one of the very first third games to appear on Steam and also awful. I got gifted it a long time ago so I know first hand it bad.

I mean the art isn't bad for when it was released compare to say Miner Ultra Adventures, but it barely works at all. Think I couldn't even get into the game, as the main menu is just busted.

I got Eternity's Child when it came out, lured by the promise of a river of free upgrades and a story-filled campaign and... all I got was a badly animated platformer with abysmal collision detection. It was pretty, in a whimsical, Burtonesque way, but it played like garbage and the developer tore himself in two like Rumplestiltskin and vanished when players complained and bad reviews came in.

Ragdoll Kung-Fu wasn't much better.

Steam library says I bought it near the end of 2005, but... yeah. The weird low budget kung-fu/blaxploitation cutscenes were fun, but the gameplay was just too gimmicky to be fun unless you were very good with a mouse and highly resistant to carpal tunnel.

It was cool that it launched with support for third-party skins. Less cool that one of the first was a naked Krystal from Starfox.

I've had a sinful lust for this game for about 6 months now. I think it's because the game reminds me Rastan, a garbage game that somehow managed to be in every arcade I visited in my childhood. Age of Barbarian is currently on sale but I don't think I'm man enough to buy it..

Caveman World: Mountains of Unga Boonga reminds me of a late 90s shovelware PC title in many ways.

It was 50 cents during the Steam sale and a bunch of people bought and reviewed it ironically of course. A "friend" of mine gifted it to me and it's complete loving poo poo.

Rapid Squirrel, also known as Crazy Squirrel on the actual title screen, is an incomprehensible Russian tablet game that is probably part of a money laundering scheme and is so bad that Steam themselves actually delisted it.

That's how people breathe in Thermidor, which may never show up in this thread because it probably won't get made.

I'd be down for talking about things like Gothic 4 ArcaniA, a game so bad the franchise name was cut from the title. I don't remember much about it because it played like poo poo and I gave up half an hour in, but most people hate it.
