I’m a sucker for a good beat ’em up and Subaka Studio came good with Redeemer‘s release in 2017. Two years on, a comprehensive edition has landed on current consoles and I now have the opportunity to see what I’ve missed. The tale is pretty simple. Our hero Vasily, is […]

Most of the classic arcade shoot ’em ups have been ported time and time again to home systems over the last few decades. Certainly all of the classics such as Gradius, R-Type, 1942 and so on but also the elite examples of the genre (usually anything by Cave), they’ve been […]

It’s difficult to know just how well PSVR is doing because while there is a very steady stream of indie titles for Sony’s VR headset coming out every week, the big ‘triple A’ titles are few and far between. Owning a PSVR is a bit like being a Switch owner, […]

Killing Floor: Incursion is a PSVR title in Tripwire Interactive’s ‘travel to Europe and kill zombies’ series and is available now with 2016’s Killing Floor 2 as part of a bundle called Killing Floor: Double Feature. We previously reviewed Killing Floor 2 here and we enjoyed the game, especially when […]

In some ways, Bethesda’s original 2011 shoot ’em up was everything you’d expect from a crossover project between them and Id Software, the original FPS masters who pretty much defined the genre with Wolfenstein and Doom before their Quake games set the template for pretty much every online shooter ever […]

Super Weekend Mode by London based solo developer Pixel Teriyaki is the latest from Ratalaika Games. It’s a retro styled pixel art shoot-em-up and fun with it, although in typical Ratalaika fashion the trophies are straightforward to unlock. A complete rinse with a mere thirty one minutes elapsing from our […]

We said it last time but you don’t just review an EDF game lightly. Sure there will always be some rushed ones that you can but these games reveal their true natures over time. You need to live with these for a while and thankfully Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain‘s embargo […]

Dick Wilde 2 is an on-rails lightgun-style shooter for PSVR. When London-based coders Playstack released the original Dick Wilde onto PSN back in 2017 the general concensus was that it had the makings of being a fun shooter but was derailed somewhat by its punishing level of difficulty and so […]

We’re two years into the life-cycle of Sony’s PSVR system and here at PlayStation Country we’ve reviewed a lot of games for it which makes us feel as though the hardware is being supported. However, the big knock on PSVR is that the games aren’t as fully fleshed-out as they […]

This sequel to 2015’s Guns, Gore & Cannoli is four man Belgian dev crew Crazy Monkey Studios’ latest PSN release and follows on from its predecessor by offering up some fun and frantic run and gun shooting action. Mobster Vinnie Cannoli returns once again as the lone survivor of the […]

Atomine from Broken Arms Games is a twin stick shooter. Something that we’re quite used to seeing on PSN these days. Especially as it also has procedurally generated levels with rogue-lite mechanics. However, there is also a storyline of sorts, which is about the real-life Stuxnet internet worm. This is largely […]

I Hate Running Backwards is an endless runner/shoot ’em up from Croatian coders Binx Interactive and was formed around an idea or rather just a quote. “I hate running backwards” was uttered by Serious Sam in the game of the same name. Now I played Serious Sam back on the PC when […]
