A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Knight’s Night is the latest $5 platformer published by EastAsiaSoft. The gimmick this time comes from the 1-bit visual presentation, small sprites, and loads of spikes. It isn’t a reflex-based, tough-as-nails, platformer but that doesn’t mean it is without challenge. Playing as a tiny knight sprite, it is your job to reach the end of […]
Undivine is a dark, 2D Metroidvania by indie dev Brainium Games, makers of Aidan in Danger and Beef Cat Ultra. Despite a few minor blemishes, this is a ten-dollar digital download that offers plenty of value and checks all the boxes for what you would expect an exploratory action RPG to be. Playing as some […]
Published by EastAsiaSoft for five bucks, Super Engine GT Turbo SPEC is a simple top-down racing game that is nothing more than occasionally flicking the analog stick left and right while fighting the loose controls and questionable AI. This single-player digital download doesn’t have any features, or even a gimmick, making it unfortunately forgettable. Using […]
Released for $6, Final Zone is the latest retro re-release to be given new life thanks to the dedicated efforts of Ratalaika and Shinyuden. This forgotten isometric Genesis title is a flawed but interesting low cost download that curious players might want to wishlist. Taking control of a walking battle mech, gameplay is basically a […]
Blazing Trail is an isometric action shooter published by EastAsiaSoft for $12.99. Playing as a tank, it is your job to save hostages, run over enemy soldiers, destroy watch towers, and even shoot down aircrafts through a retro pixel art visual presentation. On paper, it lists the checkboxes you would want for a retro-style action […]
Published by EastAsiaSoft for a measly $5, Submarine Survivor offers tremendous value. Sure, it is the next Vampire Survivors clone to come out this week, but this underwater survival simulator has a couple unique gimmicks to call its own. Playing as an auto-shooting submarine, the player has the choice to complete a series of 5-minute […]
Published by EastAsiaSoft for $5, Hegzis is a low-stress hex-based puzzle game about placing hexagons on a grid. If a row of hexagons stretch from one end to the other, the formed line disappears so more pieces can be placed. The goal might be to place X amount of pieces, create a certain amount of […]
CarGo! is more than a creative play-on-words. It is a frantic, single-screened action puzzle game best played with local co-op partners about hauling cargo, get it, car-go? As a quick comparison, CarGo! is almost like Overcooked, that multiplayer cooking game, but with cars. Instead of walking back and forth in a kitchen to pick up […]
Published by Sometimes You, Mortisomem is an adventure mystery horror game with PS1-ish style visuals. While it is never actually scary, the one-hour quest is rather interesting, different, and wished more games took this approach. Before going any further, it is important to note this is a first-person shooter without an option to invert the […]
Dagger Froggy is the latest Survivors clone but with its own gimmick. Instead of constantly shooting within a massive environment, the playable frog can only toss one dagger in a straight line to defeat enemies. After the dagger is thrown, it is needs to be retrieved before it can be thrown again. At first, I […]
