A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Playing as lone soldier tasked with fighting an army of aliens in space, Gastro Force is a straightforward retro FPS but with a player friendly mapping system. Unfortunately, Gastro Force is unplayable for me because I am a Y-axis inverter and there is no option to invert the controls in the options menu. Even […]
Originally released on PC about a year ago, Ashina: The Red Witch is a text-heavy adventure game now available on console. It is a pixelated journey about visiting the land of the afterlife, searching for your sister, and trying to cooperate with a mischievous spirit who stole your pendant. This spirit also likes to use […]
An unfortunate design of the Analogue Pocket is that is the Gameboy multiplayer link port is on the bottom of the handheld, right next to the USB-C charging/docking input. So when using an Analogue Pocket DOCK, the user loses access to the Gameboy link port since the dock doesn’t have any link port extension/pass-through.
Unlike the weirdly experimental Neko Secret Room and the bizarre open world-style Neko Secret Homecoming, Neko Journey is a 2.5D platformer. Developed by a small team and published by EastAsiaSoft, this latest Neko title lacks polish and direction. Borrowing assets from other games created by this developer, like Drunken Fist 2 for example, the visuals […]
Inspired by the Rubik’s Cube, The Shape of Things is a relaxing, casual puzzle game designed around a cozy environment. With no way to lose and no penalty for failure, this go-at-your-own-pace puzzler is all about rotating parts of a 3D object to make it whole. From backpacks, to headphones, to a nest of bird […]
This week, Gillman and I play Scarlet Tower, a Vampire Survivors clone while talking about recent games we are playing. Honestly, we just wanted to catch up because it has been a few weeks since we last streamed.
Digital Eclipse enjoys out doing themselves. They have been re-releasing classic games for decades, recently released the TMNT: Cowabunga Collection, put together the outstanding Atari 50, and have brought new life to retro games with the Disney’s Afternoon Collection/Classics Collection, to just name a few. Then, they go ahead and release the Making of Karateka, […]
Fortified Zone is essentially those top-down stages from classic Contra titles but with 2-player co-op over a link cable. It is impressive because each player can venture in their own direction with all their action happening off-screen. Honestly, I am not really sure how this is possible on the original Gameboy but it offers some […]
Although it doesn’t redefine gameplay elements within the Metroidvania genre, Blasphemous 2 firmly checks all the boxes. Excellent sense of exploration? Check. Outstanding combat complete with intriguing boss designs? Definitely. Provide a worthwhile excuse to venture off the beaten path to find secrets within the depths? You betcha. Taking place after the events of the […]
Originally released on PC a couple years ago, KillSquad is now available on console complete with full multiplayer glory. It is a top-down twin-stick shooter with RPG mechanics, a formula that isn’t used nearly enough in the modern gaming landscape. All the gaming stereotypes are here: a handful of characters each with a unique set […]
