Destropolis has just about everything you want in an arena high-score based twin-stick shooter. It is constant action, the screen can fill will an uncountable amount of enemies, there are power-ups galore, and it features co-op play. The minimalist presentation also provides a timeless and contemporary visual style. Simply put, you play as a 3D…

Brawl Chess – Gambit (Xbox One) Review with Stream
Brawl Chess – Gambit is a right-to-the-point digital version of Chess. If you enjoy Chess but hate physically setting up the pieces, this $9.99 download will make your life a little easier although the lack of options is disappointing. You can check out my stream of Brawl Chess – Gambit embedded below: The gimmick behind…
SNIPER – Hunter Scope (Switch) Review
It is actually pretty amazing that there are so few light gun shooters available on Switch. The Wii, with its motion controlled controller, had plenty “shoot at the screen” games but the Switch Joy Cons have similar functionality. S.N.I.P.E.R. – Hunter Scope is an unexpected but solid on-rails shooter that takes advantage of this under-utilized…
Electro Ride: The Neon Racing (Switch) Review
Created by a small development team and published by Ultimate Games S.A., Electro Ride: The Neon Racing is just as much a driving game as it is a racing game. Mixing Outrun gameplay with Tron visuals, the goal is to be the first to cross the finish line but with an interesting boost mechanic. Instead…
Beat Me! (Xbox One) Review
Beat Me!, developed by the small studio at Red Limb Studio, is easily described as a poor’s man Smash Bros. Even if the ragdoll fighting physics were fun and balanced, players cannot compete against other players because there are literally zero players in the online lobby. From a 2D perspective, players select a stereotypical fantasy…
My Aunt Is A Witch (Xbox One) Review
My Aunt Is A Witch is a visual novel published by Sometimes You of Explosive Jake and Awesome Pea fame. While I personally am not a fan of visual novels as I like more game in my games, fans of the genre should appreciate the story, the vivid visuals, and slight adventure game mechanics. The…
Absolute Drift (Switch) Review
Absolute Drift isn’t a racing game, it is a driving game. In fact, a timer is only used in select segments where the player needs to hit a certain score within a time limit. No, this is a game about control, precision, and taking full command of your vehicle. Although it is rather difficult to…
Steampunk Tower 2 (Xbox One) Review
As a follow up to the highly praised mobile original, Steampunk Tower 2 offer addicting tower defense gameplay with light city building mechanics that constantly entices the player. Although grindy in spots, there is a lot of quality content here. Steampunk Tower 2 takes a unique approach to 2D defense gameplay. Each stage drops the…
Pure Pool (Switch) Review
Originally released in 2014, the Xbox One version was flawed with a clunky interface and an awkward multiplayer mode. While some of these flaws are still present with this Switch port, improvements and enhancements have been made. The entire presentation still looks stunning. Whether admiring the reflection off the cue ball to simply enjoying the…
Dead Dungeon (Xbox One) Review
Dead Dungeon is the latest Super Meat Boy clone, offering 50 single screen stages of challenging platforming. Although very simple in both presentation and gameplay (you only use the analog stick and the “A” button to jump and double jump – there isn’t even wall jumping), it requires skills to see the end. The objective…
