A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Don’t be distracted by the goofy name, Dogfight: A Sausage Bomber Story is a pleasant horizontal shooter that features 4 player local co-op in a world that references different types of food as a point of humor. From a fluid cartoony presentation, this shmup offers some straight-forward classic shooter gameplay. One button shoots, another launches […]

A budget horizontal shooter by EastAsiaSoft, Hyper-5 doesn’t exactly have the highest level of polish but can still provide some entertainment value if you can deal with the missteps. If you watch my initial stream embedded in this article, you’ll notice that I do not get very far. When the player first starts, the slowly […]
The inspiration behind Pirates Outlaws is easily referenced to 2017’s Slay The Spire. Honestly, the only difference is that BlitWorks’ title is based around pirates, the sea, and swashbuckling instead of venturing through dank dungeon-like towers using magic against fantasy monsters. Even though it is a direct Slay The Spire clone, I am okay with […]
Published by Ratalaika Games and developed by a small indie team, Gunman Tales is a brilliant action strategy game that mixes genres to staggering results. From an overhead perspective like classic Civilization, players control a cowboy hat cursor, each moving in alternating turns over short distances. If you move your cursor over a red action […]
For the first time since 1996, Cannon Dancer, a forgotten arcade action platformer, has been given new life on Xbox, PS4/5, and Switch thanks to ININ Games. If the similarities remind you of Strider, Kouichi Yotsui, Cannon Dancer’s designer, also worked on Strider. Both games feature high action and a playable character that acts with […]
Playing as the sole survivor on a stranded spaceship, Steel Defier tasks the player to collect a bunch of randomly spawning data discs in each room before the room itself kills you. It is a twitch platformer in which the player is squarely focused on defense; there are no offensive capabilities. Watch my stream embedded […]
A twin-stick tower defense title with roguelite elements, Marfusha is a highly entertaining, addicting action game with an interesting backdrop. To be more accurate, Marfusha is a high-tempo tax-paying gate defense shooter that stars a young anime girl taxed with unrelentless guard duty. For whatever reason, machines have started to invade and the local government […]
A simple yet unique auto-runner, RunBean Galactic is a twitch platformer that offers genuine challenge… and will make you swear with the most creative language you’ve ever spoken. Playing as a tiny bean character that automatically runs on the perimeter of the world, the player is only in control of his jumping and rolling. If […]
A licensed Mario Kart clone, emoji Kart Racer is a “me too” attempt at a cash grab and a follow-up to the critically panned 2017 emoji movie. It was only a matter of time before the emoji brand got into console gaming and honestly surprised it took this long. The comparison to Mario Kart is […]
