From the same team that ported Greylancer to modern consoles, Gynoug is another Sega Mega Drive exclusive now made accessible to American players for the first time. Much like Greylancer, this is an entertaining shooter, especially for fans of the genre and that never played the original, but the lacking quality of life features are […]

The Last Stand: Aftermath is the latest roguelike game to hit digital marketplaces but has a few differences that separate it from the other dozen rogue titles released this week. (It seems every game is a rogue these days.) First difference is the isometric perspective with 3D models. Unfortunately, the bland browns and grays provide […]

Okinawa Rush is easily the most insane game I have played in a long time. The old school pixel art caught my eye when I watched the initial trailer but I had no clue how visceral, frantic, and absolutely mental this game is. Even during my first stream, embedded below, I was super confused by […]

Released just in time for the 2021 Halloween season, Savage Halloween by QUByte Interactive and 2nd Boss is a Mega Man style run-and-gunner featuring 8-bit NES-style visuals, three different playable characters each with their own skillset, and several levels to tackle.  This is an unexpectedly quality retro action title. The narrative opens with some cutscenes […]

Rover Mechanic Simulator is the last sim title by Ultimate Games and it focuses on interplanetary machines as opposed to War Trucks, Bus sims, or even foreign War simulation. Unfortunately, this game suffers similarly to these other sim-based titles as it is overly complex, always tedious, and little more than a button pressing and menu […]

Crisis Wing is an old-school style vertical shooter that puts a heavy emphasis on challenge.  Never impossible but always difficult, even long time shooter fans might find frustration with the trial-and-error difficulty. To summarize quickly, Crisis Wing is a decent shooter, especially considering the low price tag, but there are a couple issues that damper […]

The first game in this 30 year old series to be released in the West, Xuan Yuan Sword 7 is an action RPG that checks most boxes with expected gameplay elements. It isn’t the best action RPG but it also isn’t the worst. Although new to the American audience, this series has been known to […]

Now outfitted with modern quality of life features, this is one action game that shooter fans will adore. It only costs $7.99 too. The gimmick behind Greylancer is the unique control set up. Instead of just shooting forward and […]
