A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
An over-the-top ridiculous action game, Bot Gaiden mixes the run-and-gun action of Contra, the robot theme and boss battles of Mega Man X, with the speed and slashing of Strider. Then, toss in the lose-the-power-up-when-you-take-damage mechanic of Blaster Master and you’ll have an idea of Bot Gaiden. Even though gameplay mixes elements from the games […]
With obvious inspiration from Tecmo’s Mighty Bombjack series, Super Jagger Bomb is a one note, repetitive arcade-like experience with little to offer. Playing as some dude in a weird hook nose mask, the goal is to collect all the balloons for each of the game’s 100 available stages. With no offensive capabilities whatsoever, the player […]
For a $4.99 top-down billiards title, it is hard to knock Casual Challenge Players’ Club too hard for trying something a little different. Instead of supporting standard 8-Ball or 9-Ball rulesets, the game puts more approachable, but still highly challenging, pool tasks against the player. The main mode places a handful of preset balls on […]
Maggie The Magnet is a physics-based puzzle platformer that only costs $5. Playing as a magnet with the ability to turn on/off her magnet powers at will, it is your job to reach the goal of each single-screened stage, collect optional items, hit switches, and avoid traps along the way. The gimmick comes from swinging […]
The latest game in this multi-game series, Pretty Girls Four Kings Solitaire puts a small spin on classic Solitaire gameplay but from the same overall UI and feature set than its previous titles. Despite what the title might suggestion, this is a very tame PS4 game. In fact, it can probably be rated PG if […]
Back Again is weird, indie, low-cost first-person platformer that offers a trippy, experimental experience. Listed at a budget-friendly price of $2.99, this hour-long campaign contains an easy Platinum for players that do not invert their Y-axis camera control. Honestly, Back Again is nearly unplayable for me as there is no option to invert the Y-axis. […]
A bigger release by EastAsiaSoft, Sword & Fairy Together Forever is a Chinese action RPG that is mostly linear, straightforward, but still playable. Although the US has received limited releases in this long running series, it stands on it own. Starting the quest as a long sworded badass that can jump through the air with […]
A simple, indie 2D side-scrolling action platformer, Sofiya and the Ancient Clan has an approachable design that anyone can pick up and play. Unfortunately, cheap level design, repetitive enemies, and the lack of a checkpoint system are major issues that severely decrease the overall fun factor. Playing as a witch, who wears a low-cut dress […]
Thunder Kid II: Null Mission is the exact same game as Thunder Kid only with new stage designs, different boss battles, and should have been DLC instead of a whole new game. Just like the original, players move into the screen like Star Fox only it isn’t on rails. Instead, each stage is essentially a […]
The inebriated adventure of Drunken Fist 2: Zombie Hangover is easily one of the most ridiculous beat’em up brawlers I have ever played and it is all the better for it. The comical hilarity falls in line with the stupid gameplay to near perfection, creating an instantly memorable experience you’ll need to share with your […]
