A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
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 […]
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 […]
Blazing Trail is an isometric action shooter published by EastAsiaSoft for $12.99. Playing as a tank, it is your job to save hostages, run over enemy soldiers, destroy watch towers, and even shoot down aircrafts through a retro pixel art visual presentation. On paper, it lists the checkboxes you would want for a retro-style action […]
Originally released on PC and mobile in 2024, Please, Touch the Artwork 2 is now available on Switch and acts as a worthy continuation in comparison to the puzzle-heavy nature of the original. Playing as a dandy, suit-wearing skeleton, gameplay is similar to Where’s Waldo where you need identify certain objects hidden within each panel […]
Published by EastAsiaSoft for a measly $5, Submarine Survivor offers tremendous value. Sure, it is the next Vampire Survivors clone to come out this week, but this underwater survival simulator has a couple unique gimmicks to call its own. Playing as an auto-shooting submarine, the player has the choice to complete a series of 5-minute […]
ZigZag Ball is another mobile game published to the Playstation Store at a low cost by Elantri Games. Like other games in their library, this one-button game doesn’t offer anything more than a 5-minute Platinum trophy. From the title screen, the game abruptly starts without explanation or direction. Meaning, you will see Game Over immediately. […]
