A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
At first glance, it might be easy to assume that Darkest Hunters is some sort of Puzzle Quest knockoff. Instead, this indie Nintendo Switch eShop download treats players with a unique mix of roguelike gameplay mixed with match-3 puzzle elements. In a roguelike, enemies react to every player movement, one button press at a time. […]
This Isn’t Pool Not to be confused with the 8-ball or 9-ball games of pool, Snooker 19 prides itself on creating a simulation of this sophisticated game. There is no reason fans of the game (sport?) should not enjoy their time with this Ripstone Games release but if you have no idea what Snooker is […]
Real-time Tactics As a spin-off sequel to Ambition of the Slimes, Slime Tactics is a real-time tactical RPG mixed with some minor RTS gameplay. Instead of taking turns commanding one slime at a time, the player controls a human cursor that is tasked with placing, commanding, and guiding slimes on the battlefield against humans, monsters, […]
Now On Switch The name might imply that Duck Game follows in the footsteps of something like Goat Simulator, Duck Hunt, or even Untitled Goose Game but first assumptions couldn’t be further from the truth. Duck Game is a competitive 4-player arena combat side-scroller built with an 80s theme and pixilated visual style. Originally released […]
Puppet Master Theatre Tales puts the player in control of the puppet master that acts out scenes from popular fairy tales. Only Little Red Riding Hood is currently available but there are other options grayed out at the start menu such as Puss in Boots, Cinderella, and Snow White. It is assumed these future episodes […]
Burst of Nitro Originally released on PS4 and Xbox One, Table Top Racing: World Tour – Nitro Edition gets its extended title for this Switch release. With all previous DLC, tons of content, unlockable upgrades, and fast-paced gameplay, this is a quality racer that can be appreciated by casual and hardcore fans. Caught somewhere in-between […]
L4D3? Since Valve is more interested in selling other people’s games these days, it was only a matter of time before another developer would spiritually carry the Left4Dead torch. Heavily inspired by L4D and L4D2, World War Z feels like it could be L4D2.5. With so many similarities between these two franchises, it is difficult […]
Return of the Grid-Based Dungeon Crawler Originally released on PC, Vaporum is a first-person grid-based dungeon crawler with a dark steampunk aesthetic. Taking place in a large interconnected tower composed of many tiers, the player is tasked with surviving enemy encounters mixed with hunting-gathering of resources and items. It is important to highlight the grid-based […]
A New NES Game Built like a new original 8-bit NES game, Alwa’s Awakening is an indie Metroidvania that prides itself on its old school visuals and gameplay techniques. Using nostalgia as one of the main bullet points, this RPG platformer features some appealing gameplay gimmicks but also stumbles a bit by the time the […]
A Moving Painting Instead of focusing on engaging gameplay, over-the-top action scenes, or balanced multiplayer arena warfare, Feather takes a step backward by providing a relaxing but barely interactive experience. Calling Feather a game isn’t exactly true since there are no objectives, no secrets, no ways to win, no penalties, no leveling mechanics, and actually […]
