A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
A budget horizontal shooter, Hell Pages is an action game that was originally released on Steam over a year ago. Now available on Switch, its cardboard cut-out visual style, grindy unlockables, and steep difficulty spikes makes this a shooter that constantly takes one step forward then one step back. The entire game is composed of […]
Originally released on Steam, Dark Minute: Kira’s Adventure is a literal dark platformer now available on the Switch eShop. Unfortunately, its main gimmick, platforming in the dark, is just as tedious as it sounds. Through an 8-bit sprite-based visual presentation, the player has sixty seconds to find three energy cells and reach the exit otherwise […]
HunterX is a side-scrolling action platformer Metroidvania although the official description of the game doesn’t specifically call it a “Metroidvania.” It stars and anime high school girl in a school outfit because of course it does. Armed with a katana, some magic, and a dodge roll, it is your job to kill the demons and […]
No Gravity Games is celebrating their 3rd anniversary by giving away games in their library. On Monday, July 11th, 2022 at 00:00 Pacific Time, No Gravity Games will kick off its 3rd Anniversary by doing an event-themed “Birthday Party”. It’ll consist of a massive sale with Big Discounts on the Nintendo Switch eShop and what’s […]
Playing as a weirdly 3D modeled anime girl, it is your job to pointlessly wander around a one bedroom apartment, put digital puzzles together, and lose at a not fun dart mini game. There really isn’t much to this downloadable title, as you can’t win or lose, so the highlight remains piecing together lewd puzzles […]
SNK dropped another bombshell on the Switch eShop, this time in the form of Biomotor Unitron, a cult favorite on the Neogeo Pocket Color (NGPC). Personally, I think it is fantastic that this forgotten RPG has received new life and made easily accessible thanks to the dedicated work of Code Mystics once again. Also, this […]
P.3 is a challenging vertical shooter with a gimmick, for better and worse. Although the retro vibe is strong and looks visually appealing, complete with optional CRT filters and border options, P.3 is overly difficulty due to the simple yet tedious control scheme as the playable ship is always on the move. Constantly moving means […]
One part visual novel with one part futuristic racer, Nirvana is basically the same game as the original Switch release, fully titled Nirvana: Pilot Yume, only without the explicit content. Unfortunately, both the visual novel and racing segments are not particularly polished, creating more frustration than fun. Although the art style in the visual novel […]
Instead of a monkey trap inside a ball like Sega’s popular Monkeyball franchise, Marble Maid features a creepily designed anime maid trapped inside an orb, tasked with touching literal dust “bunnies” in stages that remind of the pyramid from Q-bert. Platforming in a ball is never accurate since you are always rolling, hunting down these […]
Like Trials on a treadmill diorama, Rolling Car is part platformer, part balance simulator. The goal is to guide a monster truck to the end of each stage, avoiding hazards and making jumps while maintaining balance and proper momentum, all from a treadmill level design. Although there are easy-to-see Trials inspirations, this is definitely not […]
