A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Instead of being a new, retro arcade release designed around getting a high score, Flynnâs Arcade is making a pivot by publishing the addictive Skies Above, a leviathan defending simulator. The unique premise is newsworthy and thankfully the gameplay is there. This roguelite puts a stronger emphasis on story that directly blends into the gameplay, […]
Developed by SURT and published by RedDeer.Games, Ringoâs Roundup is a casual pathfinding puzzle game. Playing as a charming little bunny, it is your job to deliver mail to the mailboxes in the shortest, and sometimes longest, path possible. This puzzle game is never difficult to understand but I appreciate the tutorial-as-you-go feature, with each […]
First released on PC in 2018 then ported to Xbox and Playstation in 2021, Treasure Hunter Simulator is now available on Switch from Ultimate Games and Drago. Unfortunately, this simulation suffers from the same issues as many other sim titles by this Polish publisher. Playing as a treasure seeker, it is your job to location, […]
This week, Gillman and I play a bit of Mario and Luigi Brothership on Switch.
Originally released on PC last year, Alruna and the Necro-Industrialists is an indie Metroidvania designed around exploring and sequence breaking. Loaded with secrets in a compact world, this is one exploratory action puzzle game done right. The biggest difference with this indie release is that it puts its focus on exploration, not combat. While combat […]
Freddy Farmer is the latest new, retro arcade release by Flynnâs Arcade. Without question, this is Flynnâs most ambitious and deepest title to date, but it comes at an unfortunate cost (or could possibly be an oversight). Freddy is a simple farmer minding his own business when a dragon suddenly kidnaps his daughter. To get […]
Originally released on Wii in 2011 in PAL regions, Stunt Flyer has been ported to Switch via Ultimate Games. This budget release is bound to fly under the radar as a hidden gem. While there are definitely gameplay elements, it might be better to think of Stunt Flyer more of a digital toy. Taking control […]
Released a year ago on Steam, Genome Guardian on Switch is a stationary roguelite turret shooter. The initial learning curve is high but that is due to the insane number of options, features, and unlockables. Despite being designed around a microscopic world, there sure is a lot to see, do, and shoot. When I first […]
Published by RedDeer.Games, Maki Paw of Fury is a nostalgic tribute to retro beatâem ups. Covered in beautifully fluid pixel art, this brawler is unfortunately a one note lesson in repetition. Playing as a warrior fox, a friend gets kidnapped and it is your job to save her from the throngs of anthropomorphic bad guys. […]
The Taito Milestones collections combine ten Arcade Archives titles into one lower price compilation. Similar to the first two Milestones titles, Taito Milestones 3 features a smattering of excellently emulated arcade games. This compilation mostly focuses on action games but it isnât without variety. The standout title has to be Bubble Bobble, the iconic co-op […]
