A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Published by RedDeer.Games, Nuclear Gladiators 3000 is another survivors clone but this one is actually pretty good. Now available on Switch and Steam. There is a free demo on Switch too. The overall gameplay remains the same as most survivor titles: auto shoot endless waves of enemies (circle strafe is your friend), grab the currency/XP, […]
Published by Ratalaika Games and developed by Petite Games, Blaster Force 3000 is a simple, straightforward, yet appreciated retro FPS that omits everything that isn’t entirely necessary. By watching the trailer for this low file sized digital download, it is easy to see inspiration from classic DOS Wolfenstein. However, looks are deceiving as Blaster Force […]
The latest retro-style release published by Flynn’s Arcade, Silver Bullet is another fun, low-cost arcade style experience on Switch. This time, gameplay takes the Wild Guns shooter formula and cuteifies it with a chibi-style visual presentation, smooth frame rate, and responsive controls. Playing as tiny pixelated Van Helsing, you need to reclaim your captured puppies […]
Originally released in 2006 for the Gameboy Advance and developed by Orbital Media, Scurge: Hive was one of those games that flew under the radar but was appreciated by fans. Interestingly, Scurge: Hive also received a DS port at the same time because it was released during that window when Nintendo didn’t know if they […]
Kotenok is another low-cost ($5), simple platformer published by EastAsiaSoft. Other than easily adding 1,000 gamerscore to your Achievement total, Kotenok doesn’t offer much in terms of gameplay, depth, or replay value. Playing as a tiny kat, the goal is simple – make your way to the exit flagpole. Stages slightly grow in complexity over […]
Legend of Steel Empire originally released on Switch in early 2024 but Steel Empire has been ported to many system including 3DS, GBA, PC, the Sega Genesis (the original version), and was even re-bundled with Over Horizon and with Steel Empire Chronicles. So there might be a chance you own this game in one form […]
Originally released on Switch in 2018, Castle of Heart: Retold is an expanded version of the 7Level’s IP. Without question, this is the better way to play this action platformer. So what has been enhanced? From a presentation standpoint, everything looks better. The character models have been improved, the environments contain more detail, animations are […]
A horizontal shooter published by EastAsiaSoft for $9.99, Söldner-X: Himmelsstürmer is a shmup with a serious name. When it comes to the threat of human extinction by aliens attacking, why does the fate of the world always come down to a lone rogue mercenary? Why isn’t there a team of highly skilled warriors ready to […]
Notice Me Leena – senpai! is a low-cost tower defense title that has a lot in common with Plants Vs Zombies. Since the tower types are almost identical, the main difference between Popcap’s cult hit and this EastAsiaSoft published release mostly comes from the contrasting visual style and odd narrative. The narrative is entirely unnecessary […]
Originally released in 2002 as an indie game before indie games, horizontal shooter Platypus gets a full remake as Platypus: Reclayed. Its main gimmick obviously comes from the clay, stop-motion visuals, but thankfully it has been outfitted with fun, thoughtful shooter mechanics especially in local co-op. Remade with widescreen, 4k support, there is no denying […]
