SYNTHETIK: Ultimate (Xbox One) Review

Posted on January 11, 2021December 22, 2020 by squallsnake

With a “the robots have taken over” Terminator-ish plot, Synthetik: Ultimate is the latest twin-stick roguelite to hit consoles and PC. Although it has a few elements to slightly separate itself from the other titles in this crowded genre it ultimately winds up feeling a little artificial. Using both analog sticks to move and shoot…

60 Parsecs! (Xbox One) Review

Posted on January 9, 2021December 16, 2020 by squallsnake

60 Parsecs! is the same game as 60 Seconds! Reatomized but in space instead of taking place in a nuclear wasteland.  The opening segment tasks the player with collecting a bunch of survival-based items before the 60 second timer expires, then turns into a game of survival from a visual novel interface. The change to…

Fatal Fury: First Contact (Switch) Review

Posted on January 6, 2021 by squallsnake

Fatal Fury: First Contact is the latest Neogeo Pocket Color (NGPC) fighting game to be ported to the Nintendo Switch eShop.  Like The Last Blade: Beyond the Destiny, Gals’ Fighters, King of Fighters R-2, and Samurai Shodown! 2, Fatal Fury is a quality fighter and the same nifty housekeeping features found in the other releases…

Defentron (Switch) Review

Posted on January 5, 2021December 9, 2020 by squallsnake

Defentron is as simple as a tower defense game gets. The only gimmick it has is the neon 80s visual theme. Each stage is small, linear, and lacks any creativity. The enemy horde starts on one end, you place a few towers in the middle and prevent them from reaching the other end. Unfortunately, the…

When The Past Was Around (Xbox One) Review

Posted on January 3, 2021December 9, 2020 by squallsnake

A point and click adventure without a single word of spoken dialog, When The Past Was Around is heavily based around a narrative dripping with emotion, sadness, and the difficulty of coping when someone close is no longer there. It touches on the topic of moving on without knowing how but in a way that…

Tanuki Justice (Switch) Review

Posted on January 1, 2021December 9, 2020 by squallsnake

Tanuki Justice has run-and-gun Contra style gameplay with charming 8-bit visuals.  It also has that old school challenge that demands practice in order to complete each stage. Although difficult, it is still beatable with some persistence. The tanukis are also pretty darn cute. With basically no story outside of the brief opening cutscene, the focus…

I, AI (Xbox One) Review with stream

Posted on December 31, 2020December 2, 2020 by squallsnake

Published by Sometimes You, I, AI is a vertical shooter with a leveling mechanic.  Although not as balanced as Aircraft Evolution, this old school action game is fluid and rewards skilled players. Playing as a self-aware AI, the first stage has an electric spark escaping from a space station prison and overtaking a space craft….
