A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Defined as an action exploration odyssey, Nocturnal is essentially a Metroidvania without the Metroid. Although there are some environmental puzzles to solve, this quest is more focused on action as opposed to backtracking while keeping the darkness away with a badass flame sword. From the opening cutscene, the dark tone is set, letting the player […]
Chronicles of 2 Heroes is a new action, precision platformer presented in a 16-bit style that sort of looks like a SNES title. The difficulty will keep you on your toes and the character swapping mechanic is unique and demanding. At its heart, this is a Metroidvania but with a stronger emphasis on precision platforming […]
A classic shooter, Laserpitium offers some straightforward gameplay with a higher challenge. Not to be confused with a bullethell, this is a simple shooter with two types of shots and three playable ships each with their own abilities. There is a good amount of variety to the lengthy campaign too. There isn’t an outstanding gimmick […]
A few months ago, emoji Kart Racer was released, a licensed cash grab aiming for the Mario Kart audience. Following in the same footsteps, Rubberduck Wave Racer is another licensed, quickly produced arcadey racer trying to earn a few bucks copying the Mario Kart formula. Unfortunately, the $30 asking price doesn’t not reflect the quality […]

Self-described as a boomer shooter and a looter shooter, Nightmare Reaper is a retro-style FPS with rogue properties. If Minecraft mixed with Doom, you would get something pretty close to Nightmare Reaper. Playing as an unnamed patient in a mental institute, the game reverts to your hospital room after each hellish stage. If the odd […]
Replikator is a top-down twin-stick roguelite published by Ratalaika Games and offers some high action if you can work through the initial learning curve. If you watch my stream embedded in this article, you’ll see that I was rather confused for these opening thirty minutes. Once I figured out where to go, how to play, […]
A 2-D fighting game, Boss Rush: Mythology pits you against numerous mythological creatures one at a time. Sort of like mini-Dark Souls, this marionette fighter is challenging, loose, yet slightly technical. You know how in the end of any retro Mega Man game the player is place into a hub screen and you enter a […]
Pretty Girls 2048 Strike, the latest title in EastAsiaSoft’s long running series, puts a slight fighting game-like twist on classic slide-puzzle gameplay. It is actually pretty creative. This is one of those games where it is sort of difficult to explain but makes sense once you see it in action. The learning curve only takes […]
Now being officially recognized as Puzzle Bobble instead of Bust-A-Move here in the States, Puzzle Bobble EveryBubble! is a colorful sequel starring Bub, Bob, Peb, and Pab while featuring some new and welcomed multiplayer modes into the classic bubble matching gameplay. Rainbow Islands has been covered in bubbles and it is up to the four […]
