A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
A labor of love that took a small indie developer years to create, Chained Echoes is a confident digital download that takes the best elements of 16-bit RPGs and merges them wonderfully with modern quality of life features. This is a title that shouldn’t be overlooked especially if you cut your teeth on SNES RPGs. […]
Another ridiculous simulation title, Castle Renovator is basically Gas Station Simulator except without as much polish, and basically repurposed Train Station Renovation. This time, players are tasked with cleaning, maintaining, and reconstructing castles and their immediate surrounding environments. Before getting to the cool castles though, you’ll need to spend your time picking up virtual garbage, […]
The latest release by Ratalaika Games, Panda Punch is a simple 2D platformer featuring a panda that looks like a fox in a 2D, pixel-based side-scrolling platformer. Gifted a metal arm, you take the fight to your enemies by smacking every with your brutal Jax fist. Panda Punch’s flaws immediately become apparent in the open […]
Despite the wholesome appearance, Donut Dodo is a tough-as-nails new retro-style arcade experience that mixes gameplay elements of classic Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Burgertime, Popeye, and even DK Junior into something unique, fun, and snappy. The goal is to collect all the delicious looking donuts in each stage which unlocks the path to grab the final, […]
Four anthropomorphic characters each wielding different weapons must thwart an evil power from causing chaos to the world. No, this isn’t a TMNT game, but Jitsu Squad is still a decently fun mindless brawler if you have a local co-op partner or two by your side. The initial stand-out feature is easily the vividly colored […]
A third-person adventure outfitted with creative cel-shaded visuals, Wavetale is a heartfelt adventure that sort of mixes the exploration of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker but with the deeper emotional narrative of RiME into something uniquely its own. Although the flaws are obvious, the story and water surfing mask almost all the imperfections. […]
The Crackpet Show takes the Smash T.V. gameplay and plot but swaps the beefy, shirtless dudes with mutated animals that are reminiscent of Happy Tree Friends. Ideally played with local multiplayer, this twin-stick shooter (which is really more like a single stick shooter with auto-aim) requires more patience than most. This top-down action game has […]
An indie Metroidvania, The Bounty Huntress is a simple game released at a budget price. While the generic visual style leaves plenty to be desired, the gameplay would have been casually enjoyable if it wasn’t marred by technical issues and poor quality of life choices. Clearly inspired by Castlevania titles, you play as a female […]
Swordship takes the standard shooter gameplay and literally flips it to create a unique experience. Most shooters have you flying some type of plane either from left to right, or vertically, using one or two buttons to shoot with the goal of hitting a high score or making it to the end of the stage. […]
A point-and-click environmental puzzling solving adventure game, Papetura is a quality digital download. An emotional game, one built around curiosity and creativity, this hand-crafted title took a better part of a decade to complete by a solo developer. This is a labor of love and it clearly shows. Playing as a crinkled piece of paper […]
