The scrolling beat ’em-up genre isn’t dead, but it’s far from the fan favourite that it was back in the 16-bit era. I reviewed Mother Russia Bleeds a while back, but between then and now we’ve reviewed plenty of similar titles, even another with Raging in the title very recently. […]

While I generally prefer games where I’m shooting things, there’s something nice about a chilled out game where you get to build things. From Minecraft to Stardew Valley, those kind of games can be insanely popular and so Spanish dev team Chibig have decided to resurrect Deiland, a farming/survival game that first came […]

Forgotton Anne is an anime inspired puzzle platformer from Danish developer ThroughLine Games published under Square Enix’s Collective banner, development being significantly helped by the state-funded Danish Film Institute. You’ll be immediately struck by its beautiful graphical style as it brings to mind the artistic style of Studio Ghibli’s output, […]

Floor Plan from Turbo Button is a VR game that isn’t a shooting gallery. That’s probably enough to get you interested but also know that it’s only £5 and you never leave the elevator you start in. You can use two Move controllers or just the DualShock to play what […]

Death Road To Canada had us interested from the outset. Retro-styled, zombies and rogue-like mechanics? Sold! The game is presented in a cute pixel art style which initially seems rather at odds with the subject matter at hand. After a while though it makes no odds and you’ll be cleaving undead […]

Spacejacked is an usual cross between a side-viewed run and gun shoot ’em up and a tower defence game that is out now as a cross-buy title for PS4 and the Vita and comes to us by way of Singapore-based indie coders Rotten Mage. The game follows the exploits of […]

Baseball games have been somewhat monopolised by Sony with their highly successful MLB The Show series. Whilst it does allow plenty of room for alternative to spring forth, it still feels somewhat rare for a developer to bring America’s pastime to consoles. Metalhead did just that with Super Mega Baseball […]

Another week, another Rogue-lite (or two). The Swords of Ditto looks like The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, plays like A Link to the Past, but it has permadeath with only minor elements carrying over. There’s quite a lot of story and simply winning once isn’t enough […]
