A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
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 Flynn’s Arcade. Without question, this is Flynn’s 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 beat’em 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 isn’t without variety. The standout title has to be Bubble Bobble, the iconic co-op […]
Super Spy Raccoon is another original retro-style low-cost arcade release published by Flynn’s 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. Playing as a sneaky raccoon, the player’s only verbs are run […]
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 […]
Bloodhound, a fast-paced boomer shooter without a plot, is now available on pretty much all current gen consoles and PC. You can read our staff writer’s review of the PC version here for more. In short, everything mentioned in the PC article mostly holds true here. This is an action game that doesn’t require thought. […]
