A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Released about a year and a half ago on Switch, Swords and Bones 2 is now available on Xbox thanks to RedDeer Games. Almost everything stated in my Switch review article holds true here, for better than worse. As a quick summary, SEEP’s Swords and Bones series are wholesome, low-challenge, retro style action platformers that […]
Published by RedDeer.Games, Maki Paw of Fury is a nostalgic tribute to retro beat’em ups. Covered in beautifully fluid pixel art, this brawler is unfortunately a one note lesson in repetition. Playing as a warrior fox, a friend gets kidnapped and it is your job to save her from the throngs of anthropomorphic bad guys. […]
Bomb Cat, published by RedDeer Games on Switch, is a Suika Game clone but with two differences. The first difference comes from the visual theme. Instead of dropping circle shaped fruit into a well, the player instead drops circle cats of different colors. However, gameplay remains exactly the same. If two of the same shaped […]
Clearly inspired by classic 8-bit Castlevania, Crypt Stalker is essentially a new NES-style Castlevania game right down to the overall interface, spritework, gameplay, and plot, but with some welcomed editions. Instead of being a descendant of a long line of professional vampire killers, you play as a stalker – one deemed worthy enough to save […]
Published by RedDeer.Games, Golfinite contains typical 3-hit meter-based gameplay but it’s the approach that sets it apart for better and worse. Caught awkwardly between a realistic sim and fantasy, this is actually a really strange golf game. Presented through a pleasant pixel art style, players will play on courses composed of typical grass, forested areas, […]
A simple mini golf simulator published by RedDeer.Games, nGolf is casual yet picturesque. The pick-up-and-play control scheme is easy to understand but the lack of options and replay value makes the overall experience more on the limited side. Instead of going with the typical 3-click swing meter, all mini golf holes are completed by using […]
Based on a Korean brand, Uzzuzzu My Pet: Golf Dash is essentially a glorified Mario Party mini game about a fun, casual, and easy-going mini golf experience. Instead of putting a golf ball, the player directly controls the golf ball by holding the analog stick in a any direction, then launching it by pressing “A”. […]
A frenzied, action-packed party brawer that supports four simultaneous players, Sacrifice Your Friends could provide a nice distraction from Mario Party game nights. Just keep in mind, even though there is a solo option, you pretty much are required to play with a few friends if you want to have any kind of fun or […]
Swords & Bones 2 features the same visual style, retro gameplay, and level of quality as the original. Honestly, it is more like an expansion pack than a new game, but I am okay with that since I enjoyed the simplicity and straightforwardness of the original port on Switch and Xbox. Instead of playing as […]
What felt like a couple of years, RedDeer Games was teasing the release of 7 Horizons on their social channels, never really showcasing what type of game it was going to be, but it looked cool nevertheless. Then the social posts stopped, leaving me to assume that this project was going through some massive changes […]
