A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Sequel to the original Pretty Girls Panic! released just a few months ago, Pretty Girls Panic! PLUS is more of the same. My article on the original game can be found HERE. The “Panic” portion of the title comes from trying to fill portions of the screen before an enemy or projectile interrupts your enclosure. […]
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 […]
The latest title in the Pretty Girls series by EastAsiaSoft, Pretty Girls Mahjong Solitaire is a PG-13 rated Mahjong game. Yes, there are anime babes in the background but at best (or at worst?) they will dress to their bikinis. As a Mahjong game, eh, it is a Mahjong game. As a game with a […]
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 […]
The main draw of Waifu Discovered 2: Medieval Fantasy is obviously the seductively drawn anime babes but the shooter segment, the actual gameplay, is surprisingly enjoyable thanks to a thoughtful upgrade system. Even if seeing ladies in their birthday suits wasn’t in this game, it would still be a fun shooter. Apparently these ladies have […]
Poker Pretty Girls Battle: Texas Hold’em has a long title, lacks features, and its main gimmick, anime babes in revealing gear, is also in short supply. Little more than a Texas Hold’em sim, there really just isn’t much happening in this low cost digital download. With a game that emphasizes the pretty girl aspect so […]
A tile-based platformer that intentionally limits the player’s view, GLO features heavy trial-and-error gameplay. The higher challenge and demand for repetition might not please everyone but there is no denying the sense of accomplishment upon completing every stage. Playing as a square, the goal is to reach the end tile. Shrouded in darkness, the player […]
Inspired by NES 8-bit platformers, Ravva and the Cyclops Curse is a linear experience built around four abilities used to defeat monsters and solve environmental puzzles. It is a short journey with a few stubborn moments but is still a decent way to kill a couple hours considering the low asking price. You play as […]
Pretty Girls Panic! is one of those single screen reaction based games where you control a cursor and need to fill in the picture by making enclosed boxes without colliding with enemies. If you succeed, you are rewarded with a picture of an anime babe in a swim suit. If you grew up in the […]
Using one controller to control two simultaneous characters, Mina & Michi is another cutesy and simple game developed by Ratalaika Games and published by EastAsiaSoft. Which means low cost, easy Achievements worth big points, and a charming visual style built around one major gameplay mechanic. The gimmick here is controlling both the weaker Mina with […]
