The idea behind the game is pretty simple...
Skipping the non-story, since it has no real bearing on anything, the basics are that you’re someone dressed as a knight but who has no weapon...
In general, though the interface is clean and simple it’s on the unrefined side depending on your tastes...
In theory based on that tagline the game would be right up my alley, and to a degree it is, there’s something a bit mesmerizing about watching your small ship flow through increasingly elaborate “tracks” that make up each stage...
You’ll play the game as Synch, a man on a mission to try to find the mythical Azure in the hopes of saving the remnants of humanity from extinction...
In the game you’ll get to choose your character, and this carries a bit of consequence as it will affect not only things like how many lives you get but the type and duration of power-ups and assists you can get...
Though it’s pretty clear in places that Nuclear Throne has aged a bit since its original release, its unapologetic degree of challenge and a wide variety of builds still make it one of the best twin-stick shooters on the Switch...
Determined not to let itself get in a rut and become too predictable, Zero 2 is a rewarding walk through nostalgia while not being content to limit itself to dated design and mechanics...
Most of the formula behind the game is straightforward to people familiar with the genre...
Starting from the top we have Theater of Magic, a table that shouldn’t need any introduction...
While there’s quite a lot to understand about Fate/EXTELLA Link in the end your enjoyment is likely to hinge on the frantic and crazy combat...
It will begin with simple negations, changing out colors with directions, and even some or statements...
For me the concerns began just in the tutorial as the game walks you through each character’s signature ability...
You’ll start out in a circular room that’s lacking in detail or cover, where a steady flow of zombies will be thrown at you coming from different directions...
Starting out things are pretty simple as the game walks you through the basic mechanics...
In the end what you’ll want to understand is that this is a cyberpunk semi-interactive adventure that explores society, corporate overreach, and human choice in a smart way...
This roguelike first-person shooter won’t have you exploring exotic locations or demon-plagued netherworlds, instead it keeps things focused on a singular building at a time, typically composed of between 1 and 3 levels of procedurally-generated rooms...
Starting with the positive Apocryph has a lot in common with the games it’s looking to emulate and honor...
Featuring 3 playable characters (and the ability to allow your friends to control the other 2 if you’re able) you’ll choose between the title balanced bunny Dusty, the quick and slashing fox Kitsune, and the burly brawler by the name of Darg...
Why settle for going the normal route and following the game’s rules to win when you can simply look for ways to change the rules instead? This simple but smart premise is central to Baba Is You and will have you playing with each stage’s rules that are represented as words on the screen that you can move around and reconfigure...
