Don’t let the heavily pixelated screenshots fool you. Pangeon is a decent but very simple dungeon crawler that moves with the speed and fluidity of Doom. The 2D sprites in a 3D space and the tight corridors also give off serious Wolfenstein vibes. Playing as one of four character classes, the goal is to reach…
VIDEOCAST – Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin (PC)
Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin is basically two games in one. There are the 2D side scrolling high-action combat sections and town/farm building mechanics where the player grows rice, cooks, talks to townsfolk and more. The best part, both these segments are well done and results in a pleasurable experience on both sides of the…
Wallachia: Reign of Dracula (Switch) Review
Clearly inspired by the lore and gameplay elements of Konami’s Castlevania, Wallachia: Reign of Dracula is a highly difficult retro-style digital download. Everyone has heard of the term Metroidvania but this title published by No Gravity Games is actually a ContraMan as it blends the faster speed of Contra but with gunplay of something like…

Torchlight III (Xbox One) Review
It is difficult to not like an action RPG. Exploring large worlds, killing legions of monsters, and constantly gaining loot and enhancements, especially with a buddy or two at your side, is a winning recipe. Torchlight III checks all these boxes and provides a sound experience although it doesn’t contain the magical allure that it…
VIDEOCAST – Bullet Girls Phantasia (PC)
Basically Dynasty Warriors but with guns and anime babes, Bullet Girls Phantasia is essentially Gillman’s dream game. I don’t really get it but enjoy the fact that firearms are now available in these 1-vs-bagillion action games. Not sure what was up with the water gun torture leveling up scene though… Enjoy the stream embedded below:
Rusty Spout Rescue Adventure (Xbox One) Review
Rusty Spout Rescue Adventure deserves a little credit as there is an attempt at creating a story with hand drawn visuals but sadly is nothing more than a low quality Bust-A-Move knock-off. Odd design choices really hold back the entire experience. Like Bust-A-Move, the goal is to shoot bubbles from the bottom of the screen,…

Alpaca Ball Allstars (Switch) Review
2020 is a unique year. We have an ongoing pandemic, murder hornets, and there are two stand out games involving animals. The first was Fight Crab and now we have Alpaca Ball Allstars. Like Fight Crab, Alpaca Ball Allstars is a super dumb game. It is ridiculous and it is dumb… but that is what…
