A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
A 2D side-scrolling action platformer, Arsonist Heaven gives players an excuse to go on a murderous rampage. The goal of each stage is to kill all enemies by giving them a fiery, horrible death. Each stage is a self-contained, slightly maze-like environment filled with typical jumps, platforms, and hazards. Navigating the verticality of each stage […]
Endling: Extinction is Forever is an emotional game with a message. Playing as a mother fox looking after her young cubs, this is a experience that proves life is hard and often devastating. This is one of those games to avoid playing when you are depressed or feeling low because something bad is going to […]
First released on Switch last year, Knights & Guns is now available on Xbox consoles. A Buster Bros. (or Pang if you prefer) clone, this Xbox version is basically the same as the Switch version only with numerous Achievements. Check out my coverage of the Switch version here. Instead of vertically shooting balloons like in […]
A simple three-dimension grid-based puzzle game, Mojito the Cat tasks the player with rolling a cat shaped cube over collectable items and then the goal in the least amount of moves as possible. As a quick comparison, it looks and feels a lot of like Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker only with more restricted movements and […]
Dr. Mario & Puzzle League doesn’t have a real time single-pak multiplayer mode. Instead, a downloadable trial demo version of either Dr. Mario or Puzzle League can be sent to an open GBA and played until the power turns off. Dr. Mario is like the NES version but with updated visuals and less music options […]
A budget horizontal shooter, Hell Pages is an action game that was originally released on Steam over a year ago. Now available on Switch, its cardboard cut-out visual style, grindy unlockables, and steep difficulty spikes makes this a shooter that constantly takes one step forward then one step back. The entire game is composed of […]
A simple puzzle game about reflecting a beam of light to an end point, Rayland is a casual puzzle experience that never gets overly complex and offers some easy high point Achievements for under a five-dollar asking price. To make an easy comparison, Rayland is basically the same game as Archaica: The Path of Light […]
The top-down grid-based gameplay of Zapper: One Wicked Cricket on GBA features 5 different gameplay modes but they are basically just variants of one another. Zipper Soccer and Mega Zipper Soccer are the same only with more bug balls and the other modes are different types of death match options. Zapper is another forgotten mascot […]
The most complicated aspect of Crypt of the Serpent King Remastered 4K Edition is pronouncing or writing the long title. This approachable dungeon crawler is one of the most simplified games you can play, suffers from some horrible repetition, but still finds a way to be entertaining thanks to the easy Achievements and numerous unlockables. […]
American Bass Challenge has a Single-Pak link mode for four players but the gameplay is limited and uneventful. From an unchanging position, the player must cast a line and hope the one fish in the pond bites. There is no indicator regarding the location of this one fish or how to reel it in if […]
