A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Mega Cat Studio, who brought us Coffee Crisis and Bite The Bullet, along with Retrotainment Games, creators of Haunted Halloween â86, have been working with 8BitLegit, Gradual Games, and 6502 Collective to release Trophy, a new retro NES game inspired by 8-bit Mega Man. Not to be confused with Sonyâs Playstation Trophy system, this is […]
Playing as an astronaut that needs to power his ship, Crazy Gravity is a simple Point A to Point B platformer. With no offensive powers, this low cost digital download is all about avoiding obstacles, collecting that lightning bolt icon, then reaching the finish line. The gimmick comes from the control reversing mechanic. Each stage […]
Within the Blade has the foundation of a solid stealth/action ninja adventure, the 16-bit visuals are nicely detailed, and each stage can be completed in just a few minutes, ensuring fast gameplay. Unfortunately, several small issues damper the entire experience which is a mega bummer because I really wanted to sink my teeth into being […]
Sequel to Metagal, Metaloid Origins is a 2D classic run-and-gun action platformer that should please fans of 8 and 16-bit Mega Man titles. There are a total of three playable character, each sporting their own unique abilities which adds quality replay value. The story ultimately remains the same no matter which playable cat you choose […]
From the developers that created the new Genesis game Coffee Crisis, Bite the Bullet is a side scrolling action title sort of like Contra but with a twist â you can eat your foes when they are defeated. Thatâs right. Humans, flying drones, alien gross zombie creature things, it doesnât matter. You can eat them […]
A single player twin-stick shooter, Sturmfront: The Mutant War â Ubel Edition features high action and steep difficulty. It isnât the best twin-sticker out there as there are a few bright spots but the broken pacing issues easily frustrates. With the cover obviously knocking off classic Doom, you play as a purposely stereotypical blond Rambo […]
Sold for only $3.99, Blastful is one part twin-stick action and one part vertical scroller. Unfortunately, it doesn’t do either particularly well. Your ship is small but bullets are even smaller. In fact, the bullets are so small and slow it is difficult to shoot anything and easy to avoid all damage. Stranger yet, there […]
Developed by Decemberborn and published by Elden Pixels of Alwaâs Awakening fame, Cathedral is an 8-bit Metroidvania that follows all the tropes of the genre. In the end, it isnât anything you have not seen before but that doesnât mean the journey isnât worth taking. Playing as a non-speaking knight on a quest to open […]
Werewolves have to be one of the most under-utilized supernatural characters in video games. Other than Altered Beast, which is more of a wolf-man as opposed to a full werewolf, what other games come to mind that focus on these hulking beasts? Sabrewulf from Killer Instinct might be the only other noteworthy character. There are […]
A retro-style run-and-gun platformer, Golden Force thickly layers an old school vibe. The eye-catching pixel art is vividly colored and well animated while the steep challenge will have you screaming obscenities at your screen. Be warned, this downloadable title isnât for those that give up easily. Playing as one of four characters, the player is […]
