A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin is basically two games in one. There are the 2D side scrolling high-action combat sections and town/farm building mechanics where the player grows rice, cooks, talks to townsfolk and more. The best part, both these segments are well done and results in a pleasurable experience on both sides of the […]
Clearly inspired by the lore and gameplay elements of Konami’s Castlevania, Wallachia: Reign of Dracula is a highly difficult retro-style digital download. Everyone has heard of the term Metroidvania but this title published by No Gravity Games is actually a ContraMan as it blends the faster speed of Contra but with gunplay of something like […]
SNK has released another NEOGEO Pocket Color (NGPC) fighting game to the Nintendo Switch eShop, The Last Blade: Beyond the Destiny, alongside the previously released Gals’ Fighters, King of Fighters R-2, and Samurai Showdown! 2. Like these other fan favorite fighters, the NGPC edition of The Last Blade features approachable gameplay for all skill levels […]
It is difficult to not like an action RPG. Exploring large worlds, killing legions of monsters, and constantly gaining loot and enhancements, especially with a buddy or two at your side, is a winning recipe. Torchlight III checks all these boxes and provides a sound experience although it doesn’t contain the magical allure that it […]
Basically Dynasty Warriors but with guns and anime babes, Bullet Girls Phantasia is essentially Gillman’s dream game. I don’t really get it but enjoy the fact that firearms are now available in these 1-vs-bagillion action games. Not sure what was up with the water gun torture leveling up scene though… Enjoy the stream embedded below:
Rusty Spout Rescue Adventure deserves a little credit as there is an attempt at creating a story with hand drawn visuals but sadly is nothing more than a low quality Bust-A-Move knock-off. Odd design choices really hold back the entire experience. Like Bust-A-Move, the goal is to shoot bubbles from the bottom of the screen, […]
2020 is a unique year. We have an ongoing pandemic, murder hornets, and there are two stand out games involving animals. The first was Fight Crab and now we have Alpaca Ball Allstars. Like Fight Crab, Alpaca Ball Allstars is a super dumb game. It is ridiculous and it is dumb… but that is what […]
Originally released in 2012 on PC, They Bleed Pixels is one tough platformer featuring a little demonic girl with meat skewers for hands. This isn’t just about avoid hazards and making difficult jumps, but They Bleed Pixels carries a heavy emphasis on combat. Using only two buttons, one for jump and one for attack, this […]
Grood is a highly difficult 2D horizontal shooter. Other than a time slowing mechanic, there are no other highlighting features making this an average shooter at best. The game has three difficulty settings: hard, hard, and hard (literally). Having a stiff difficulty setting doesn’t make the game extra fun, unfortunately. Instead of offering a genuine […]
Terror Squid is a score-based, arcade-style “survive for as long as you can” top-down shooter with a twist. Playing as a triangle, the player constantly moves at a set pace around a spinning global, dropping a never-ending string of bullets in your wake. Avoiding contact with this bullet excrement for as long as possible is […]
