A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Dungeonoid 2 Awakening is a merging of genres. It takes classic Arkanoid gameplay but mixes it with a scrolling platformer. Without question, this is a fun and creative take on the classic single-player Pong formula but is held back by unfair and frustrating difficulty at times. Breakout and Arkanoid, for comparison, take place on a […]
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, […]
Published by RedDeerGames, Project Downfall has made a name for itself by sporting a John Wick lookalike in the game’s main promo art (yet you never see the playable character in-game which leads me to believe it was very much intentionally ripped off to draw attention). Although you wield several different weapons and shoot enemies […]
An action-based side-scrolling platformer published by EastAsiaSoft, Dreamcutter will best be enjoyed by 13-year-old boys who have the patience to grind through the repetitive gameplay to reach the payoff – visual novel still images of anime naughty bits. Playing as an anime babe trapped in a dreamworld, a mysterious scythe becomes both a tool and […]
With a console as popular as the Switch, it is no surprise third parties want to try and claim a piece of its success. QRD, makers of third party controllers, has released their T5 wireless joypad for Switch, a variant over the original T3 model. Targeting more serious Switch players, this Hall Effect joypad is […]
Action platformers The Adventures of Panzer and The Adventures of Panzer 2 have been bundled together in the Adventures of Panzer: Legacy Collection, published by Ratalaika Games for $9. These are original NES games ported to modern consoles and have classic Ninja Gaiden-ish run-platform-attack gameplay. Built around a humorous, light-hearted story, gameplay focuses on reaching […]
Published by EastAsiaSoft at a low price point, Saga of the Moon Priestess is essentially an indie Link’s Awakening. It is a bite sized, simple, approachable, wholesome four-hour adventure featuring the classic top-down Zelda perspective, puzzle solving, and combat. Playing as a priestess, it is your job to stop a witch and rescue a prince. […]
Touhou Luna Nights is a fan favorite Metroidvania with a gorgeous pixel art style. Strangely, this quality digital download by Team Ladybug and Playism released on pretty much everything except for Playstation… until now! Although it is the same game that I covered back in 2020 on Xbox, Playstation fans can now eliminate their FOMO. […]
A new NES game now ported to Switch (also available on Steam), AdventureQuest 8-Bit: Dungeons and Doom Knights is an indie retro love letter to 8-bit greats like the original Zelda games, Castlevania, and even hints of old school Metal Gear. Loaded with humor and charm, this is a new original Nintendo game done right. […]
A shoot’em up with tower defense elements, Turret Rampage is a game that is sure to activate any anxiety you have. Not to be confused with low quality, this is a fun score-based distraction if you took your xanax this morning. Controlling a turret, it is your job to shoot all the invaders trying to […]
