A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
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 […]
A retro 2D platformer with slight Metroid gameplay, Adventures of Poppe has its heart in the right place but is bogged down with tedious backtracking, cheap difficulty, and the lack of direction. Poppe is young boy that is either very tiny or he has been placed in a very large world as the entire campaign […]
RedDeer’s nOS is an interesting and thoughtful idea by turning the Switch into a basic pocket organizer like a Palm Pilot from a couple decades ago. Although it doesn’t really do anything exceptionally well, it deserves some credit for being creative and trying something different. There are ultimately 6 apps within this digital download, all […]
Little Kong: Jungle Fun is a very simple auto-runner without any replayability. Sure, there is a local high score table that monitors the top 5 scores and the stage design changes slightly with each run, but it is a mindless one-button experience marred with technical issues. Playing as a gorilla with a bouncing hat, it […]
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 […]
Released earlier this year on Switch, Swords & Bones is a retro pixel platformer now available on Xbox One and Xbox Series X consoles. Check out my review of Swords & Bones on Switch here. The Xbox version plays very similarly to the original Switch game with the biggest addition being the inclusion of Achievements. […]
A good old fashion run-to-the-right platformer that isn’t a rogue, Inukari – Chase of Deception features approachable design, large environments, and a strong message about the environment. Playing as a fox that is trying to be Captain Planet, the goal is to reach the end of the stage and take down a boss that has […]
Swords & Bones reminds me of Swords And Sandals: Spartacus because their titles and gameplay are similar. Both games are 2D pixel-based side-scrollers with endearing platforming, combat mechanics, and a hulking hero. Swords & Bones just has a more ghost and demons fantasy theme with slower paced and more deliberate gameplay. One element I like […]
Outside of Metroid Dread, Trash Quest is probably the next best Metroid-like experience I have had in 2021. It is short, compact, and nearly perfectly paced, easily demonstrating that big things can come in small packages. Trash Quest features Metroid gameplay with a very small touch of rogue elements, giving it a slightly different twist […]
Enter a thrilling story about a young girl named Nyah who is lost in a dreamlike fantasy world. Little Bug, a delightful, action-packed platformer created by Buddy System, will be released on Nintendo Switch and Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X by RedDeer.games later this year. ESCAPE THE NIGHTMARE Assist Nyah to escape the dangerous place […]
