A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
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 […]
Designed to look, play, and sound like a new original Gameboy game, Spacewing War is a very simple and approachable shooter. The control is incredibly accurate and responsive, the difficulty is never rage-inducing, and the entire presentation is oh-so charming. Aliens are about to invade Earth and this spacecraft is the only chance humanity has. […]
A physics-based trial-and-error puzzle platformer, Blow & Fly should feel right at home for fans of Angry Birds and plays similarly to Explosive Candy World. Instead of pulling a slingshot to aim birds at buildings, players need to line up the mouth of a blowfish to propel the sea creature with a water blast to […]
Z-Warp is a vertical shmup that has unique gameplay mechanics that separates it from other shooters and will keep you coming back for more game over after game over. Gameplay is actually very simple but very intuitive, responsive, and thoughtful. Holding the shoot button unleashes a powerful blast but at the cost of reduced movement […]
Pretty Girls Breakers is the latest title in EastAsiaSoft’s series of anime babe titles only this time it takes the Breakout/Brickels/Arkanoid approach. Like the other Girls titles, gameplay is simple, a bit repetitive, and is nowhere as lewd as the title might suggest. Like Arkanoid, the player controls a paddle at the bottom of the […]
Explosive Candy World is another fine example of the simple yet addicting nature that EastAsiaSoft titles can be. Each stage is a single screen and the player is tasked with exploding a little man to the goal. Pulling the analog stick changes the power and trajectory of the explosion so this is essentially a platformer […]
