A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Published by Ratalaika Games and developed by Petite Games, Blaster Force 3000 is a simple, straightforward, yet appreciated retro FPS that omits everything that isn’t entirely necessary. By watching the trailer for this low file sized digital download, it is easy to see inspiration from classic DOS Wolfenstein. However, looks are deceiving as Blaster Force […]
Originally released in 2006 for the Gameboy Advance and developed by Orbital Media, Scurge: Hive was one of those games that flew under the radar but was appreciated by fans. Interestingly, Scurge: Hive also received a DS port at the same time because it was released during that window when Nintendo didn’t know if they […]
Kotenok is another low-cost ($5), simple platformer published by EastAsiaSoft. Other than easily adding 1,000 gamerscore to your Achievement total, Kotenok doesn’t offer much in terms of gameplay, depth, or replay value. Playing as a tiny kat, the goal is simple – make your way to the exit flagpole. Stages slightly grow in complexity over […]
Originally released on Switch in 2018, Castle of Heart: Retold is an expanded version of the 7Level’s IP. Without question, this is the better way to play this action platformer. So what has been enhanced? From a presentation standpoint, everything looks better. The character models have been improved, the environments contain more detail, animations are […]
A horizontal shooter published by EastAsiaSoft for $9.99, Söldner-X: Himmelsstürmer is a shmup with a serious name. When it comes to the threat of human extinction by aliens attacking, why does the fate of the world always come down to a lone rogue mercenary? Why isn’t there a team of highly skilled warriors ready to […]
Notice Me Leena – senpai! is a low-cost tower defense title that has a lot in common with Plants Vs Zombies. Since the tower types are almost identical, the main difference between Popcap’s cult hit and this EastAsiaSoft published release mostly comes from the contrasting visual style and odd narrative. The narrative is entirely unnecessary […]
Originally released in 2002 as an indie game before indie games, horizontal shooter Platypus gets a full remake as Platypus: Reclayed. Its main gimmick obviously comes from the clay, stop-motion visuals, but thankfully it has been outfitted with fun, thoughtful shooter mechanics especially in local co-op. Remade with widescreen, 4k support, there is no denying […]
Hot Stakes Casino – American Roulette is a simple but confounding roulette simulator. There isn’t much to it, and the game already assumes you know how to play, so the fun factor is just as limited as the replay value. Without tutorial, instruction, or any sort of guidance, the player is immediately thrown into the […]
The King of Ping Pong: MEGAMIX is basically the Punch-Out!! of table tennis. It is essentially a personality-filled fighting game designed around the player’s reaction time as opposed to being a ping pong simulator; this is no Rockstar Table Tennis. The steep difficulty will probably discourage some players but there is no denying the creative […]
By watching the trailer, it might be assumed that Overpowered 1 – Mars Infestation is another survivors clone, but this is not the case. Instead, this is an arena twin-stick shooter sort of like Smash TV but with a minor twist. Playing as a lone space marine, apparently you need to clear a path of […]
