Alruna and the Necro-Industrialists (Switch) ReviewOriginally 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 (Switch) ReviewFreddy 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 […]

Stunt Flyer (Switch) ReviewOriginally 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 […]

Genome Guardian (Switch) ReviewReleased 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.

Super Spy Raccoon (Switch) ReviewSuper Spy Raccoon is another original retro-style low-cost arcade release published by Flynnâs Arcade. Unlike the fast-paced platforming of Cash Cow or the high action of Satryn DX, Super Spy Raccoon sort of plays as if classic Donkey Kong was a stealth game. Â Playing as a sneaky raccoon, the playerâs only verbs are run […]

Ahro (Switch) ReviewAvailable on Switch and Steam by Nakana.io and Oeh Interactive, Ahro is a 2D side-scrolling adventure with a message. Containing a similar level of emotion found in Journey of the Broken Circle, Lydia, and Infini, other Nakana releases, Ahro is bigger than the sum of its parts. The simple Microsoft Paint-like visual style and barely-there […]

Cash Cow DX (Switch) ReviewFlynn’s Arcade, the publishers of the wonderful cult favorite Donut Dodo, released their latest new, retro arcade banger on Switch, Cash Cow DX. Like their other arcade releases, if you slapped this game into an arcade cabinet, you would think that you were transported to a late 80âs dingy smoke-filled arcade. Simple put, Cash Cow […]
