A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
Heroes Battle Awakening is a firmly winking nod to Plants Vs Zombies as it follows its tower defense gameplay almost exactly yet simplified. Five lanes. Tile based. A new tower or enemy type is introduced at every stage. Comical tone. It is a budget, straightforward, tower defense title that mostly achieves its goals. This TD […]
Hextreme Void is a such a simple concept, it is a wonder why a game like this wasn’t released years ago. Mixing the brick breaking gameplay of Arkanoid with the leveling mechanics of a Survivors clone, this single player experience is entirely passive but still is oddly satisfying while it lasts. Other than selecting which […]
Sequel to 2020’s Milo’s Quest (and not to be confused with Fluffy Milo), Milo’s Dream is a wholesome top-down Zelda-lite that can be completed in two hours. Playing as a pupper, it is your job to journey through one interconnected map composed of four biomes. Starting only with a dash attack, Milo will eventually gain […]
Published by EastAsiaSoft, Direction Quad is one of those short burst, trial-and-error type games where the goal is to reach the finish line. In other words, it is another simple, low-cost title that fits firmly into EAS’s extensive library. Direction Quad deserves some recognition for trying something different. From a top-down perspective, the player controls […]
Jelly & Toast is a single screened puzzle platformer published by Ratalaika Games. Like most games in their extensive library, this five-dollar digital download is composed of simple visuals and gameplay built around one refined mechanic. Unlike the asymmetrical platforming of Square Brothers in comparison, the two playable heroes have the same movesets, but this […]
Published by Ratalaika Games and developed by FobTi Interactive, Big Trouble in Little Chimney is a short burst Santa/Christmas theme survivors action title. While it doesn’t have much replay value, this five-dollar digital download offers simple fun while it lasts. Playing as Santa, it is your job to survive against a ten-minute onslaught of goofy […]
Jaleco Sports: Goal! follows the same formula as Jaleco Sports: Bases Loaded only with two soccer games instead of two baseball titles. Just like the Bases Loaded compilation, I am happy and nostalgic that this bundling of old soccer games exists, but they don’t exactly hold up well today. All the same bells and whistles […]
Jaleco Sports: Bases Loaded revives two retro baseball simulators of yesteryear thanks to the efforts of Rock It Games. Bundling Bases Loaded (NES, 1988) and Super Bases Loaded (SNES, 1992), despite my nostalgia, I am glad to see these old games receive new life on modern consoles. Even though these are two titles that I […]
Originally released on Sega Genesis, Dino Land is a forgotten pinball game re-released by the dedicated team at Ratalaika Games and Shinyuden. For those not aware, Ratalaika has been re-releasing many 16-bit games recently including the Aero games, Scurge Hive, Final Zone, the Cyber Citizen Shockman titles, Rider’s Spirit, Moto Roader, and many more. On […]
Coinfields is made by CraePlay Studios and reminds me a lot of the laughably bad Balloon Jump, Smash Zombies, and Speeder Ship. Just like these other titles in their library, Coinfields follows suit. Meaning, the only reason to play this game is for the quick, no work Platinum. Technically, I am not even sure if […]
