Leo the Firefighter Cat is an adorable semi-open world firefighting simulator. It is a 3rd person shooter only the player uses a firehose and an ax, as a cat, to put out fires. Think Paw Patrol but with cats, more fire, and even vehicles. Unfortunately, this game is unplayable because there is no option to […]

Pokemon Channel (2003) is the sequel to N64’s Hey You Pikachu!. In other words, it is sort of a virtual pet simulator. Sort of… Packed inside the Pokemon Channel box were 3 GBA eReader cards that can be scanned into the game. In short, they are lousy line art cards to paint with a very […]

Neo 21 is a Blackjack simulator for the Neogeo Pocket Color. There is no hot seat multiplayer mode but 2 copies can be linked where one player is assigned the role of the dealer and the other as the player. There is no music but the voice samples are surprisingly clear. Too bad there is […]

Ratalaika Games and Shinyden have been on fire recently, releasing a slew of retro releases made modern once again. Retro Revengers continues this streak only this time fans are given an original product.

Yeo, the small team that also released the cult favorite The Friends of Ringo Ishikawa and Arrest of a Stone Buddha, have ported Fading Afternoon to Switch, a beautifully animated 2D noir crime simulation-lite.

Playing as a mask wearing sentient robot, the narrative begins innocently. While casually venturing through some ancient ruins, a legendary sword claims you as its wielder, tasking you with being the savior of the land. Astor: Blade of the Monolith doesn’t waste any time and almost immediately throws the player into the quest, which is […]

Maximum Entertainment and Abiding Bridge released Sclash, an easy to play but difficult to master 2D samurai 1-v-1 fighting game. The gimmick revolves around tension and split-second decision making as each bout is loaded with drama as death comes from a single strike. Visually, the hand-drawn Japanese calligraphy art-style is impressive and carries weight. Instead […]

Published by EastAsiaSoft, the company known for releasing bite-sized games at affordable prices that are loaded with easy big-point Achievements, has released Flightpath: Adventures in Venaris, a game that mostly goes against their norm.  Although the price point is still low, this is a meater game, one that actually makes the player work to unlock […]

Ultimate Games, who originally released Fishing Simulator, has now ported Pocket Fishing to the Switch. With 65 fish species to catch and numerous abilities to upgrade, this fishing simulator, with its many RPG mechanics, sounds great on paper but has some major flaws when playing on console. What should be a relaxing and calming digital […]
