Released on PS4 and Switch, Farlands Journey is a Sometimes You published retro platformer. The 2D pixel art is quite colorful but gameplay is tediously repetitive. Playing as a young witch, the goal is to reach to the exit of each overly long stage. Although one button jumps and another attacks, there is a gimmick […]
A retro-inspired vertical shooter, Retaliate might look like some sort of Space Invaders clone by glancing at the gameplay trailer. While retro in design, there one main gimmick and numerous modes to separate itself from other shmups. Retaliate relies on both strategy and reaction because ammo is finite. To shoot at the throngs of enemies, […]
Originally released on mobile, Fishing Break has been ported to Switch by Roofdog and Ultimate Games. It is a low-cost, casual fishing experience built around short-burst arcadey gameplay.

Exophobia is an homage to the roots of the shooter genre. Putting action and exploration first, this retro throwback is the perfect new, old first-person shooter fans will enjoy. Fighting your way through a crashed alien infected spaceship, this purposely pixelated adventure looks almost like classic Wolfenstein but in space. With no reloading, no jumping, […]
Released by ININ and Mobius, the Over Horizon X Steel Empire compilation is a quality collection of shooters released with an appealing price point. The timing is a little odd, considering that Steel Empire was recently re-released as a standalone download on Switch, making this newly bundled version a better value with the inclusion of […]

RPM: Road Punk Mayhem is a vertical shooter that doesn’t hold your hand, never shows mercy, and forces players to get good. The learning curve and difficulty factor are steep, but you’ll love every second of it while asking for more.
