A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Terror Squid is a score-based, arcade-style “survive for as long as you can” top-down shooter with a twist. Playing as a triangle, the player constantly moves at a set pace around a spinning global, dropping a never-ending string of bullets in your wake. Avoiding contact with this bullet excrement for as long as possible is […]
Originally released on Steam in 2015, Shoot 1UP has been ported to Nintendo Switch as Shoot 1UP DX as it marks the first time this 2D shooter has been made available on current consoles. Fans of the original will note the additional levels, enemies, and bosses found in this new console release but newcomers will […]
SNK announced that its timeless weapons-based fighting game, THE LAST BLADE: Beyond the Destiny, is now available in special edition format on Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo eShop for $7.99. Featuring a variety of modes including STORY, SURVIVAL and TRAINING, this NEOGEO POCKET COLOR SELECTION classic will include two unlockable mini-games, power-up scrolls and VS […]
A post-apocalyptic roguelite that uses twin-stick controls, Danger Gazers is composed of the most basic of visuals but contains typical, challenging gameplay. Like any rogue-based title, death is permanent. Although the player can obtain a handful of items that unlock perks that are applied to each life, each attempt is new thanks to random generation […]
Tighten the bowstring and sharpen your sword, because Wallachia: Reign of Dracula is now available for pre-purchase on the Nintendo Switch. This retro-styled action shooter will bring you Castlevania vibes and a victorian dose of story-driven platforming on October 29th! Fill the quiver with arrows and prepare for a challenging, old-style bow shooting and sword […]
Mixing the connect-the-dots-style gameplay of Pipe Dream with Tetris falling well pieces, Powertris has a cool concept but a bare presentation. To be fair though, it only costs a few bucks. The goal is to connect specific points from the left side of the well to specific points on the right side of the well. […]
Clearly inspired by the Metroid titles, MindSeize checks all the boxes from Nintendo’s fan favorite bounty hunting series. Playable space marine in a cool looking suit? Check. Traverse expansive but stereotypical environments? You betcha. Gain abilities one at a time to slowly earn access to every nook and cranny the level design has to offer? […]
Released in early 2019, Alwa’s Awakening was an original fantasy-based Metroidvania developed by Elden Pixels. Outfitted with a charming 8-bit aesthetic, this simple environmental platformer provided a straightforward experience but a decent way to spend a weekend’s worth of gaming. This sequel, Alwa’s Legacy, is more of the same only with an upgrade to a […]
Probably best described as classic Snake meets Bomberman, Worm Jazz is a play-at-your-own-pace puzzler. Even with some dastardly designed puzzles, the experience remains casual thanks to the forgiving move system and smooth soundtrack. Playing as a worm who has a love of hats, the player is challenged by moving through a maze to reach the […]
Super Mario 3D All-Stars is a nifty but flawed collection. With no option to invert the camera, this game is literally unplayable for me while Gillman can’t beat the waterpackless Mario Sunshine levels. The music player is also as basic can be which is also disappointing. Enjoy the stream embedded below:
