If you’re a shooting fan you know Raiden, you probably love Raiden, and you’re likely to want this Raiden. More casual folks, it’s a toss up
While perhaps its VR-ish setting is only minimally functional, the parts that deliver like the voice acting, suspense, and humor work wonderfully
Aside from the letdown of it generally just having a “racing on a blue track” feel, there are other issues that sink this duckie
This could have been great for younger or less seasoned gamers, but poorly-implemented controls and a lack of direction hold it back
While this budget-friendly adventure is pretty humble overall it delivers a reasonably-good core experience and solid puzzles
Granted, in many ways it’s another variation on the “creature collector” RPG subgenre, but it is able to differentiate itself nonetheless
Sure, it’s a budget game just about anyone could play… but it also seems better suited to your phone if you’d play it at all
While as budget mobile ports go I’ve played worse, the sluggish pace and overly-simple play make it a bit of a snooze
If you’re willing to put in the time to get invested in the story, and don’t mind gameplay taking a backseat, this could have some charm
It builds a bit more variety and depth into the formula of the original, but the majority of the core mechanical play remains pretty well the same
Even on a budget, as twin-stick roguelikes go Replikator simply doesn’t make much of an impression
If you don’t mind opportunities to make decisions being periodic, even if seemingly of consequence, the post-Apocalyptic story does work
Despite it not being a very thrilling activity (known from experience), I’ll admit that this is an accurate simulation if it sounds cool to you
With a great visual style and differently-themed take on roguelike deckbuilding, Fights in Tight Spaces makes a case for your attention
While there’s no doubt it simulates farming with multiple big pieces of equipment well, it lacks in solid guidance and new flavor
While it absolutely punches a bit beyond its budget-priced class, and has a fresh feel, the very political leaning it has could be troublesome
Even not really knowing or caring about the Warhammer 4k universe, there’s no question that this visceral retro RPS is a lot of fun
Truly a bit of an odd bird, with its own pretty minimalist style on point-and-click adventuring, but daring to tell an overarching story its own way
A bit of a tale of two games, the one its incredible artwork implies, and the one that you end up playing
While it delivers some decent characters and has puzzles to solve, it feels a bit encumbered by filler overall
