Damikira is a chaotic action platformer geared around dark humor and bloody violence. The fluid pixel art is never anything overly gross and not super impressive but it definitely has a morbid sense of personality to match its “just one more run” gameplay. As it turns out, human DNA has been crossed with crazy animal […]

They Came From The Sky 2 (XSX) ReviewPublished by Ratalaika Games, They Came From The Sky 2 is a fun, score based 2D side scrolling action game that reminds me of arcade classic Rampage only with aliens instead of giant monsters. Playing as an alien in a side shuffling walker, it is your job to kill, abduct, and destroy as many humans […]

Kiki – A Vibrant 3D Platformer (XSX) ReviewKiki – A Vibrant 3D Platformer is exactly as its name suggests. From a first-person perspective, players need to jump their way through 60 American Gladiator-like obstacle courses, optionally snagging a few collectables, that serve no purpose, along the way. Unfortunately, this game is unplayable. Why? Because there is no option to invert the vertical […]

It only costs five bucks and takes about an hour to clear but there are worse ways to spend your time and money. Controlling a penguin on a tile-based grid, it is your job to reach the exit point. Getting to the […]

Gravitators (XSX) ReviewGravitators, published by EastAsiaSoft, isn’t a typical shooter. Although 2D, each stage is its own area to freely explore complete with twin-stick aiming controls. It reminds me a lot of a Solar Jetman (NES) but with a much more modern approach. There are variations, but gravity is involved in some way with each stage, hence […]

Presented in a 1-bit visual style while playing as a cat, the goal is to simply reach the exit of each stage. A […]

Super Woden GP II (XSX) ReviewSuper Woden GP II is more of the same in comparison to the original. It is an isometric racer that looks like the player is controlling a remote-controlled car within a diorama backdrop. The crowd and some textures are purposely lower res, providing this game with its toy-like visual charm. Completing this theme is the […]

Bouncy Chicken (XSX) ReviewBouncy Chicken is sort of like Pong meets Billiards only with low production values and frustrating, not-that-much-fun gameplay. The goal is to shoot a chicken on a non-scrolling single screen stage to bump into all the pieces of corn on the board. The chicken can ricochet off walls and moving objects, essentially making the chicken […]

Hot Blood (PS4) ReviewEssentially a sequel to the Drunken Fist games, Hot Blood is humorous take on the single player brawler. Hot Blood uses the same engine, visual style, and overall gameplay of Drunken Fist right down the moveset, drinking a beverage to restore health, and the purposely floaty camera and play control. The biggest difference comes from […]

Go Go Jump!!! (XSX) ReviewPublished by EastAsiaSoft, Go Go Jump!!! is a simple timed-based boss gauntlet. Playing as Dylan the dog, the goal is to survive each boss’s jump trial to earn badges. The plot is comical and often breaks the fourth wall while the high res 2D visuals feel like playing a cartoon. Using only the analog stick […]
