Legends BMX is an action sports title from Saga Legends Games and while it’s usually the skateboarders who tend to be the most-targeted in this sub-genre, there have been a handful of decent BMX titles over the years. 8-Bit gamers will remember BMX Simulator from Codemasters back in the day while PS1-era […]

Police Shootout is a turn-based first person shooter from Polish dev team Hypnotic Ants. Their previous work includes Deconstruction Simulator, Ship Graveyard Simulator and Dreamo. None of which you’ll have heard of but you can tell from each game’s artwork that we’re not dealing with a triple-A studio here. And Police Shootout, pretty much from […]

Under Defeat is a vertically-scrolling shoot ’em up that has an interesting history. Developed by Japanese shoot ’em up experts G.Rev, the game originally showed up in Japanese arcades, running on the Sega NAOMI hardware. This made it a perfect candidate for a Dreamcast port in 2006, one of the last […]

Build Lands is a casual building game from Brazilian-based Yaw Studios and after a 2022 PC release, it’s now out on console. Now, “casual building game” doesn’t tell you much and we’ll get onto that in a bit but this is genuinely a hard game to classify as it’s not […]

Shootvaders: The Beginning is, as the title suggests, a variation on the one-screen shoot ’em up style most obviously associated with games like Space Invaders and it comes to us by way of Thailand’s own 7 Raven Studios. Released in 2023, this one was a bit of a surprise when it showed […]

X-Out (pronounced ‘Cross Out’ apparently) Resurfaced is a remaster of an old horizontally-scrolling shoot ’em up which originally began life on the Commodore 64 before being ported to better computers such as the ZX Spectrum and the Amiga.

Super Jagger Bomb 2: Go East is an arcade-style action platformer from uninspiringly-named Spanish soloist studio CheapeeSoft Games and has been published by eastasiasoft.

Vampire Hunters is a rogue-lite first-person shooter from Brazil-based crew Gamecraft Studios which, as the name suggests, shares quite a few similarities to the king of rogue-lite games, Vampire Survivors. Indeed, a lot of elements are present. The huge number of enemies, the outrageous firepower the player gets to possess, the choice […]
