A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Available 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 […]
Flynn’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 80’s dingy smoke-filled arcade. Simple put, Cash Cow […]

Clearly inspired by 1982’s Robotron: 2084, Satryn DX is Flynn Arcade’s newest, retro arcade-style release. Simply put, if classic Robotron was remade here in 2024, this would be the result. Retaining the same twin-stick controls, sequential level-based stages, and overall save-and-survive gameplay, this $7 digital download has everything that made Eugene Jarvis’ original a hit. […]
Yeo, the small team that also released the cult favorite The Friends of Ringo Ishikawa and Arrest of a Stone Buddha, have ported Fading Afternoon to Switch, a beautifully animated 2D noir crime simulation-lite. It is easy to see the Yakuza/Like A Dragon and River City influences but easily stands apart with its obscure gameplay […]
Developed by a small European team, Mouse & Crane is a cooperative puzzle adventure targeting 4–7-year-old players. It is one of those games that a parent can play with their youngster to work together to complete simple tasks; a great starter game especially on Switch.
