A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
A straight-to-the-point simple roguelike, Royal Frontier cuts out all unnecessary details, uses a charmingly simple 2D sprite-based visual theme, and focuses on one thing and one thing only – the combat. If you enjoyed the timed button presses of Super Mario RPG, then Royal Frontier is the rogue you should play. Choosing a team of […]
Developed by a solo developer and published by Red Art Games, Gunborg: Dark Matters felt refreshing to me because it actually isn’t a roguelike, you know, the only genre of game that seems to get released these days. Instead, this action platformer has stages developed by hand, playable from twin-stick controls. To quickly summarize, it […]
A 2D action platformer sporting an all-female cast, Wife Quest swaps gender roles by putting the player in the shoes of a wife on a quest to save her husband from pervy female monsters. The narrative is purposely cheesy but the action is no joke. Although you gain a special new ability at the conclusion […]
Fluffy Cubed is a casual block pushing puzzler that is basically a new version of Sokobon. Playing as a cubed bunny, it is your job to push all the crates onto the colored tiles before you can move onto the next puzzle. Like so many other block pushing puzzle games, you cannot pull them so […]
The Mooseman, now available on XSX and PS5 with visual enhancements over the original release, is a game that is much more focused on the narrative and overall experience than the actual gameplay. It is not bad, just different. Because this game is so far out there, it feels like a Nakana.io title when in […]
Pretty Girls Breakers is the latest title in EastAsiaSoft’s series of anime babe titles only this time it takes the Breakout/Brickels/Arkanoid approach. Like the other Girls titles, gameplay is simple, a bit repetitive, and is nowhere as lewd as the title might suggest. Like Arkanoid, the player controls a paddle at the bottom of the […]
Mixing pinball with tower defense and rogue elements might sound like a complicated concoction of genres but winds up being a creative end result with Zombie Rollerz: Pinball Heroes. This is a rogue game so restarting from scratch upon game over is par for the course but the difficulty is nowhere near as high as […]
Explosive Candy World is another fine example of the simple yet addicting nature that EastAsiaSoft titles can be. Each stage is a single screen and the player is tasked with exploding a little man to the goal. Pulling the analog stick changes the power and trajectory of the explosion so this is essentially a platformer […]
Plunderer’s Adventure is a simple tower defense title that features scantily clad pixelated pirate babes. Instead of placing weaponry in specific places (think Plants Vs Zombies or Defense Grid for comparison), you are the weapon. The player must move and shoot between four lanes, paying attention to which enemies are approaching and when the special […]
Originally released on the Turbo Grafx-16 about 30 years ago, Moto Roader made a name for itself by its fast-paced, arcade action for up to 5 local players. Like Greylancer, Gynoug, and some Cotton games, Ratalaika Games has ported this top-down racer with the same quality of life features and overall menu interface. It is […]
