A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Flynnâs Arcade, publisher of the excellent new, retro arcade games Donut Dodo and Murtop, has also released Goliath Depot, another excellent, new retro arcade-style platformer. Instead of taking inspiration from classic Donkey Kong, Bomberman, and DigDug, Goliath Depot can sort of be seen as an evolution of Elevator Action. From a single screen, the player […]
Bomb Cat, published by RedDeer Games on Switch, is a Suika Game clone but with two differences. The first difference comes from the visual theme. Instead of dropping circle shaped fruit into a well, the player instead drops circle cats of different colors. However, gameplay remains exactly the same. If two of the same shaped […]
A sort-of spiritual sequel to 2020âs excellent Hidden Through Time, Sophia the Traveler is another hidden object game which is basically a digital version of Whereâs Waldo. While still offering plenty of wholesome entertainment, it doesnât have as many features as Crazy Monkeyâs original but is sold at a lower price point. Using the analog […]
Diamond Hands: To the Moon is literally the same game has Hellstruck, Rage with Your Friends right down to the menu interface and gameplay. The only difference is, instead of playing as a demon, you play as a businessman⌠for some reason. Either way, be prepared to suffer as this game is tough and requires […]
Hellstruck: Rage with Your Friends is a Jump King clone. If you never played Jump King, it is a comically difficult vertical platformer that demands perfection and the utmost dedication. Playing as a demon, it is your job to jump from platform to platform to reach the top. There are no enemies to fight. No […]
Clearly inspired by classic 8-bit Castlevania, Crypt Stalker is essentially a new NES-style Castlevania game right down to the overall interface, spritework, gameplay, and plot, but with some welcomed editions. Instead of being a descendant of a long line of professional vampire killers, you play as a stalker â one deemed worthy enough to save […]
This week, Gillman and I play the free Prince Peach Showtime! demo on Switch because at the time of this stream, the full game isn’t available yet. This is a new IP and Nintendo’s big game for March 2024 so we figured we should probably check it out.
Attack of the Karens is a satirical take on the popular âKarenâ meme put into a surprisingly entertaining 2D scrolling shooter. You play as the harbinger, a tiny ship with infinite bullets that (mostly) shoots to the right. While the screen can be filled with bullets at times, this isnât a bullet hell. Instead, this […]
Ultimate Games, who originally released Fishing Simulator, has now ported Pocket Fishing to the Switch. With 65 fish species to catch and numerous abilities to upgrade, this fishing simulator, with its many RPG mechanics, sounds great on paper but has some major flaws when playing on console. What should be a relaxing and calming digital […]
The Shiren series of roguelikes has consistently maintained its high level of quality throughout each iteration including the previously released Shiren The Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate (Switch/Vita). Shiren The Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island follows this lineage with both a high level of quality and a ridiculously […]
