A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Dungeonoid 2 Awakening is a merging of genres. It takes classic Arkanoid gameplay but mixes it with a scrolling platformer. Without question, this is a fun and creative take on the classic single-player Pong formula but is held back by unfair and frustrating difficulty at times. Breakout and Arkanoid, for comparison, take place on a […]
Published by RedDeerGames, Project Downfall has made a name for itself by sporting a John Wick lookalike in the game’s main promo art (yet you never see the playable character in-game which leads me to believe it was very much intentionally ripped off to draw attention). Although you wield several different weapons and shoot enemies […]
This week, Gillman and I play a bit of Brotato, a Vampire Survivors clone that recently released on Xbox GamePass. This is a quick re-stream (our first stream cut out for no reason) to demonstrate the gameplay.
Action platformers The Adventures of Panzer and The Adventures of Panzer 2 have been bundled together in the Adventures of Panzer: Legacy Collection, published by Ratalaika Games for $9. These are original NES games ported to modern consoles and have classic Ninja Gaiden-ish run-platform-attack gameplay. Built around a humorous, light-hearted story, gameplay focuses on reaching […]
Published by EastAsiaSoft at a low price point, Saga of the Moon Priestess is essentially an indie Link’s Awakening. It is a bite sized, simple, approachable, wholesome four-hour adventure featuring the classic top-down Zelda perspective, puzzle solving, and combat. Playing as a priestess, it is your job to stop a witch and rescue a prince. […]
A shoot’em up with tower defense elements, Turret Rampage is a game that is sure to activate any anxiety you have. Not to be confused with low quality, this is a fun score-based distraction if you took your xanax this morning. Controlling a turret, it is your job to shoot all the invaders trying to […]
A wholesome maze-based first-person shooter presented in a retro style, this is a low cost Ratalaika digital download that is approachable, pleasant, and refreshingly simple. Taking place in a magical, fantasy environment, it is your job to find a few magical staffs, some keys to unlock doors, and navigate your way through a labyrinth of […]
A vertical shooter published by EastAsiaSoft, Nephenthesys is a challenging and speedy shmup. In fact, the speed is too fast! Each playable ship, each with their own shot-type, all control the same. Meaning, the speed in which they move is so fast, each death is usually by accident, making it easy to bump into bullets […]
Shivering Stone is a single-screen block pushing puzzle game, aka Sokoban, built around a snowy visual theme. Using only the analog stick and the “A” button, gameplay is simple and built around trial and error. This digital download only costs a few bucks too. Playing as a young man portrayed as a tiny sprite, the […]
Sequel to Ravva and the Cyclops Curse, Ravva and the Phantom Library is more of the same but that is perfectly okay since the original was so gosh darn charming. Presented in a retro 8-bit visual style, you play as Ravva, an owl in a wizard hat, who can summon a few friendly deities at […]
