A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Direct sequel to the original light bouncing puzzle game, Rayland 2 is more of the same but that isn’t a bad thing. The casual, go-at-your-own-pace gameplay is not overly challenging (you can always cheat with an online guide if you want) and it only takes a half hour to unlock all 1,000 gamerscore. Like the […]
A frenzied, action-packed party brawer that supports four simultaneous players, Sacrifice Your Friends could provide a nice distraction from Mario Party game nights. Just keep in mind, even though there is a solo option, you pretty much are required to play with a few friends if you want to have any kind of fun or […]
A twin-stick action roguelike with bullethell properties, Mystic Gate is a decent game if you are not exhausted of the entirely overused rogue genre. Published by EastAsiaSoft, this ten-dollar digital download provides plenty of entertainment if you have the tenacity to get good. Like most other games in the rogue genre, the difficulty is set […]
Containing the same visual style and gameplay of EastAsiaSoft’s ThunderKid series, Escape from Terror City is a 3rd person gallery shooter. The purposely designed low-poly look provides a retro feel. This low-cost digital download doesn’t just look like a old game, it plays like one too specifically when it comes to the difficulty. The first […]
Playing as lone soldier tasked with fighting an army of aliens in space, Gastro Force is a straightforward retro FPS but with a player friendly mapping system. Unfortunately, Gastro Force is unplayable for me because I am a Y-axis inverter and there is no option to invert the controls in the options menu. Even […]
Originally released on PC about a year ago, Ashina: The Red Witch is a text-heavy adventure game now available on console. It is a pixelated journey about visiting the land of the afterlife, searching for your sister, and trying to cooperate with a mischievous spirit who stole your pendant. This spirit also likes to use […]
Digital Eclipse enjoys out doing themselves. They have been re-releasing classic games for decades, recently released the TMNT: Cowabunga Collection, put together the outstanding Atari 50, and have brought new life to retro games with the Disney’s Afternoon Collection/Classics Collection, to just name a few. Then, they go ahead and release the Making of Karateka, […]
Although it doesn’t redefine gameplay elements within the Metroidvania genre, Blasphemous 2 firmly checks all the boxes. Excellent sense of exploration? Check. Outstanding combat complete with intriguing boss designs? Definitely. Provide a worthwhile excuse to venture off the beaten path to find secrets within the depths? You betcha. Taking place after the events of the […]
A vertical shooter with a leveling upgrade system, Astro Flame: Starfighter is a Sometimes You published $10 digital download. The gimmick of this shmup comes from the upgrading system. Each defeated enemy drops material that can be collected and then spent to unlock and upgrade numerous ship parts. Besides making the basic firepower cause more […]
A low-cost 2D retro-style platformer, Egglien is a quality short burst romp all about pooping eggs on your enemies. The story is ridiculous and shoehorned into the gameplay, but it doesn’t matter because most players will probably want to play this for the easy Achievements anyway. You play as an alien that craps eggs like […]
