A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Published by Marvelous Europe, Ninja or Die: Shadow of the Sun is a roguelite with a gimmick. From a 2D side scrolling perspective, the player controls a ninja that can only jump; there is no option to walk, run, or manually attack. While the springboard hopping is unique, there are times when simple traversal can […]
Flynn’s Arcade, known for releasing new, retro arcade games such as Donut Dodo and Murtop, has gotten into the puzzle platforming genre with Colored Effects, a single screen environmental puzzle game that only costs a few bucks. Much more focused on puzzle solving than platforming, the pacing is nice and clearing each stage is satisfying […]
Bullet Rodeo is a simple but repetitive gallery shooter published by RedDeer Games. It has a solid foundation but ultimately seems unfinished. With gameplay similar to Wild Guns or even lightgun shooters, the goal is to shoot bandits before they shoot you; this is the wild west after all so shoot first and ask questions […]
Starting Wednesday Oct 25, 2023, for a whole week until the Halloween, No Gravity Games will be giving away a terrifying horror game to participants, absolutely free on Nintendo Switch! In this hair-raising event, we invite you to delve into the darkest realms of gaming, where fear and suspense lurk around every corner. But here’s […]
With a title that looks like a cat stepped on the keyboard, this 2D horizontal shooter has a bright art style, a ton of action, and a constantly leveling system. There is a lot to like although it isn’t perfect. Playing as an anime astronaut trying to retrieve stolen gems from aliens, it is your […]
From the publisher that gave us the lovely Donut Dodo, Flynn’s Arcade latest title is a departure from their new, retro arcade game roots. Instead, Sentry City is a linear action platformer run-and-gun with quality pixel visuals. Inspired by Blade Runner, this cyberpunk side-scroller is tough thanks to difficult enemy placement and particularly placed hazards. […]
This week, Gillman and I play through the opening of EastAsiaSoft’s Mugen Souls Z on Switch, a port of the PS3 original. Since we distracted ourselves in conversation, we got killed during the opening Mech battle and had to restart. But we eventually figured it out once we started actually paying attention.
Inspired by the Rubik’s Cube, The Shape of Things is a relaxing, casual puzzle game designed around a cozy environment. With no way to lose and no penalty for failure, this go-at-your-own-pace puzzler is all about rotating parts of a 3D object to make it whole. From backpacks, to headphones, to a nest of bird […]
As another extension of all previously released Simulator games published by Ultimate Games, Car Detailing Simulator might be the most playable of their sim-heavy library but that doesn’t mean it is fun. This time, instead of fixing cars (or space rovers or tanks), the player is tasked with making them showroom ready. While it obviously […]
Swords & Bones 2 features the same visual style, retro gameplay, and level of quality as the original. Honestly, it is more like an expansion pack than a new game, but I am okay with that since I enjoyed the simplicity and straightforwardness of the original port on Switch and Xbox. Instead of playing as […]
