A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Clearly inspired by Capcom’s Mega Man series, Berserk Boy follows Capcom’s winning formula while adding some modern, personalized flare. Plus, the main character is basically a Super Saiyan wearing cargo shorts and the gameplay puts a much bigger emphasis on dashing. There is a plot, which takes a while to get going, but it takes […]
Bit Generations Digidrive is one of two Gameboy Advance games to exclusively use the wireless adapters for its Single-Pak Link multiplayer (Boundish is the other game). This is a strange puzzle game with a learning curve but it is actually pretty fun once you figure it out.
Froggy A Retro Platformer takes the platforming speed and fluidity of Super Meatboy but tones down the difficulty factor to create a simple yet pleasant one hour of gameplay. Presented in a 1-bit black and white visual style, the pixeled visuals are well done and animated with care. For a five-dollar game, everything is simplistic […]
Geometry Survivor is clearly inspired by the roguelite elements of the fan favorite Vampire Survivors but with the overall presentation of Geometry Wars, the original XBLA breakout hit. If you enjoyed these games that inspired it, there is no reason you wouldn’t like this one-handed action game. Outfitted with a neon 80s glow, the goal […]
Described as an atmospheric fantasy adventure, Genie Reprise is an experimental game that is best experienced by niche, patient players. This walking simulator’s gimmick is also its biggest flaw – slowly presented rhyming poetry. The gameplay loop is simple and is barely interactive. From a first-person perspective, the player is dropped into a small environment […]
Dead End City is a vertical post-apocalyptic shooter that mixes the overall vibe of Mad Max with the enemy behaviors of Galaga/Galaxian but with some stage design of Gun.Smoke. It is a fun shooter, but the higher difficulty requires plenty of trial, error, and memorization. The gimmick of gameplay comes from the fuel system. This […]
This week, me and Gillman play some of the newly released Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island on Switch, a game with a super long name. We have been fans of the series for a long time and this new release, although we only just started playing it, doesn’t disappoint. Looking forward […]
Following the same formula, overall presentation, and gameplay loop of the previous games in the Pretty Girls series, Pretty Girls Klondike Solitaire PLUS is classic solitaire only with a PG-rated anime girl in the bottom corner of the screen. You know that Microsoft Solitaire game that is installed on your computer? This game follows that […]
Boundish is one of two Gameboy Advance games to exclusively use the wireless adapters for its Single-Pak Link multiplayer mode. A standard link cable will not work. The host GBA can transmit one of four Pong-like Arkanoid clones to the empty GBA through the wireless connection. The bit Generation games are all pretty cool. Check […]
At the time of this article, it is the beginning of March 2024, but I can already comfortably exclaim that Ufouria The Saga 2 is going to be one of my top games of 2024. Don’t be surprised if you never heard of Sunsoft’s Ufouria The Saga. Released only in Japan and European at the […]
