A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
A precision platformer built around survival, TEN – Ten Rooms, Ten Seconds is a fun and interesting take on the Meat Boy-ish brutal level design gameplay philosophy. Instead of simply making it through a bunch of insta-kill obstacles, the player instead must survive within each of the ten single-screen stages for ten seconds before moving […]
Pretty Girls Speed is the latest game in the long running line of Pretty Girls titles released by EastAsiaSoft. This time, instead of breaking bricks or playing Poker, the player plays a virtual game of Speed, a card game, against fully clothed anime girls. This PS4 release has no lewd content at all. In fact, […]
Supported with smooth emulation and quality of life features, the Wonder Boy Collection is now available on Switch and PS4 will easily please fans of the long running series. Included in this retro compilation are four games: Wonder Boy – a side-scrolling action platformer featuring a cave man who needs to eat fruit every few […]
What can easily be misunderstood by the title, Souldiers is actually an action-based Metroid-like as opposed to some new spin-off title in the Souls series. This is actually a delightful quest, one that is filled with glorious 2D artwork and responsive combat. Playing as a soldier who is being guided by a Valkyrie, you are […]
An obvious callback to the River City series, The Legend of the Dragonflame High School doesn’t try to hide its inspiration. Playing as a high schooler, it is your job to pummel your way through single screened areas in and around a school, punching the faces of everyone you see. While it is not as […]
A four-player arena brawler, Elemetals: Death Metal Deathmatch offers some ridiculous short burst fun. This game might also have the best name for any game of all time. For gameplay comparison, think Brawlout or Brawlhalla as Elemetals is a single screened arena beat’em up. Four players go in, with AI bots filling slots of empty […]
Originally released in 2018 on PC, Rolling Gunner is a horizontally scrolling bullet hell shooter. Now available on PS4 bundled with the Over Power DLC, this is easily one of the best shmups on the console. It is also available on Switch. There is a lot of story here, especially for a shooter, and it […]
Released earlier this year on Switch, Swords & Bones is a retro pixel platformer now available on Xbox One and Xbox Series X consoles. Check out my review of Swords & Bones on Switch here. The Xbox version plays very similarly to the original Switch game with the biggest addition being the inclusion of Achievements. […]
SNK dropped another bombshell on the Switch eShop, this time in the form of Biomotor Unitron, a cult favorite on the Neogeo Pocket Color (NGPC). Personally, I think it is fantastic that this forgotten RPG has received new life and made easily accessible thanks to the dedicated work of Code Mystics once again. Also, this […]
A physics-based trial-and-error puzzle platformer, Blow & Fly should feel right at home for fans of Angry Birds and plays similarly to Explosive Candy World. Instead of pulling a slingshot to aim birds at buildings, players need to line up the mouth of a blowfish to propel the sea creature with a water blast to […]
