A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Published by Studio Morgan, Morgan: Metal Detective is a cozy first person metal detecting adventure game without stress, penalty, or a way to lose. With a simple premise, charming art style, and casual gameplay, this is a wholesome romp that doesn’t overstay its 2-3 hour welcome. Playing as a teenage girl visiting her mom after […]
Published by EastAsiaSoft, Maiden Cops is an old school side-scrolling beat’em up reminiscent of classic brawlers such as Final Fight. Despite walking in one direction and punching repeating enemies, there is just enough depth to the combat to justify a couple of play throughs of this one-hour campaign. The main gimmick comes from the excellent […]
Originally released on Xbox earlier this year, CarGo! is fun, comical party game about delivering packages from single screen landscapes. Most enjoyable when played in co-op, this isometric driving game has more in common with cooking games like Overcooked. Everything mentioned in my XSX CarGo! article stands true with this Playstation version except swap Achievements […]
Sweet Paws: Cozy Offices is another low-cost, easy-going, pleasant digital download by EastAsiaSoft. Using the analog stick as a mouse pointer, the goal is simple – click on all cats hidden throughout isometric environments. Even though the gameplay couldn’t be any more straightforward, there isn’t even any animation, it isn’t without some low-stress challenge. Each […]
Previously released on PS4, Switch, and Steam, Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World, a remake of the 1994 Mega Drive original, is now available on PS5, XSX, and PC via the MS Store. A kingdom is in peril, and it is up to you to free four spirits and defeat the invader. Sure, the troupes […]
Published by EastAsiaSoft, Tiny Pixels Vol. 2 Stormy Knights has nothing in common with the shooter gameplay of Tiny Pixels Vol.1 other than it is another low-cost digital download. Playing as knight rescuing princesses, it is your job to walk to the right and defeat every enemy you encounter in a one-on-one battle, like two […]
Released by ININ and Tozai Games, IREM Collection Volume 3 is their latest retro compilation composed of neglected shooters. Similar to IREM Collection Volume 1 and IREM Collection Volume 2, this third edition features quirky, forgotten arcade and console ports outfitted with the same quality emulation options and overall interface. The three included fantasy-based shmups […]
Published by Flynn’s Arcade, Flora & Fang: Guardians of the Vampire Garden is the latest new, retro-style arcade release from their enthusiastic library of digital downloads. This time, the inspiration comes from a mix of Donkey Kong 3 mixed slightly with Buster Bros. and Snow Bros. Perhaps the oddest part of this co-op action platformer […]
Published by Maximum Entertainment, 100 in 1 Game Collection is a mindless cash grab using a quantity-over-quality mentality. Most games are cheap, not fun knockoffs of other better, more popular games. I am guessing the target audience for this subpar compilation are ignorant parents trying to justify the assumed high value. Be warned. Nothing about […]
Published by EastAsiaSoft for $7, Exo-Calibre is a simple vertical shooter with a lighthearted tone. The 45-minute quest is pleasant, but the replay value is limited despite having local leaderboards and an unlockable boss rush mode. An AI is causing problems so three anime girls fly their space crafts a shoot down alien invaders. This […]
