L4D3? Since Valve is more interested in selling other people’s games these days, it was only a matter of time before another developer would spiritually carry the Left4Dead torch.

A New NES Game Built like a new original 8-bit NES game, Alwa’s Awakening is an indie Metroidvania that prides itself on its old school visuals and gameplay techniques. Using nostalgia as one of the main bullet points, this RPG platformer features some appealing gameplay gimmicks but also stumbles a bit by the time the […]

Contra Shadow of the Colossus Mechstermination Force is made by the same small indie team that created the Gunman Clive series and it is easy to see the similarities. Both games feature a buttery smooth frame rate, addicting shooting mechanics with fluid platforming, and intense boss battles. While it isn’t promoted this way, Mechstermination Force […]

Not Fun! Not Fun! Animal Park Fun! Fun! Animal Park is a Switch mini game compilation that is based around animals you might see in the exotic section of a zoo: penguins, pandas, meerkats and even giraffes. Clearly designed for a younger audience, the overall theme and gameplay is kid friendly but the overall fun […]
