A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Developed by a small team and published by EastAsiaSoft, Starlight Legacy is a cozy, nothing fancy, relatively straightforward 16-bit style RPG. This old-school 10-hour campaign doesn’t always hit high notes, but it is a quality option for busy adults who enjoy RPGs but rarely have the time to play them. To its credit, it is […]
Created by a small development team, Copycat is an interactive narrative designed to pull at your heart strings. Told through the eyes of an adopted cat, the plot takes center stage as it discusses the heart breaking topics of abandonment, loss, and how you can only really rely on yourself. It is about the length […]
Mickey’s Speedway USA (N64) is Transfer Pak compatible with the Gameboy Color version of the same name. When the GBC cart is inserted into the TP, Huey becomes a playable racer. However, it took a few attempts to get this feature to work. If it doesn’t work for you, keep resetting until it finally takes. […]
Knight’s Night is the latest $5 platformer published by EastAsiaSoft. The gimmick this time comes from the 1-bit visual presentation, small sprites, and loads of spikes. It isn’t a reflex-based, tough-as-nails, platformer but that doesn’t mean it is without challenge. Playing as a tiny knight sprite, it is your job to reach the end of […]
Undivine is a dark, 2D Metroidvania by indie dev Brainium Games, makers of Aidan in Danger and Beef Cat Ultra. Despite a few minor blemishes, this is a ten-dollar digital download that offers plenty of value and checks all the boxes for what you would expect an exploratory action RPG to be. Playing as some […]
Published by EastAsiaSoft for five bucks, Super Engine GT Turbo SPEC is a simple top-down racing game that is nothing more than occasionally flicking the analog stick left and right while fighting the loose controls and questionable AI. This single-player digital download doesn’t have any features, or even a gimmick, making it unfortunately forgettable. Using […]
Shantae Advance: RIsky Revolution was originally targeting a mid-2000s release but was sadly canceled during development. However, thanks to the efforts of the original developer, Wayforward, and Limited Run Games, Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution was completed and released on a physical cartridge. A digital version will also be released on current gen consoles. As if […]
Another low cost published by EastAsiaSoft, Moe Waifu H Push-Box is a short, simple, and very straightforward, but unfortunately, boring Sokoban game. Outside of the easy 30-minute Platinum trophy, there is little entertainment and replay value. The 15 stages do not offer much of a challenge; I beat all except for two on my first […]
Released for $6, Final Zone is the latest retro re-release to be given new life thanks to the dedicated efforts of Ratalaika and Shinyuden. This forgotten isometric Genesis title is a flawed but interesting low cost download that curious players might want to wishlist. Taking control of a walking battle mech, gameplay is basically a […]
Published by PLAYISM, CATO: Butter Cat is a brilliantly fun 2D platformer now available on Switch and PS5. With 200 levels, mini games, secrets, and boss battles, there is a lot of toast-jumping in this $11.99 digital download. The gimmick behind this stupidly cute platformer stems from the merging of two unlikely characters. The cat […]
