Arc Systems and French Bread have been producing anime fighters for years and it was only a matter of time before Under Night In-Birth:Exe Late[st] was given a complete package for the Playstation 4. Whilst not boasting a new coat of paint, there’s hope this ambitious fighter can find new […]

Plox Neon is the second game on PSN, as far as we know, that takes the classic Qix gameplay and injects it with some neo-retro presentation and comes to us by way of Desert Owl Games. If that doesn’t mean anything to you, Qix was an old arcade game that saw you cutting out […]

Will O’Neill’s uncompromising tale of depression, Actual Sunlight found critical success with a narrative that did not waver over some of the darkest of subject matter. Now he returns with a rather introspective and, dare I say, grim tale of the squeezed middle class. Originally released on Steam in July, […]

Graceful Explosion Machine is a bi-directional 2D shooter that actually got released a few months ago and comes to us from Vertex Pop who previously dabbled with this genre with their game We Are Doomed and it offers 36 stages of score-chasing, multiplier-nursing shoot ‘em up action. There’s no real […]

Energy Invasion is a curious combination of two distinct arcade genres that previously haven’t shared gameplay space before and it comes to us by way of Evgeniy ‘Pinkerator’ Kolpakov, the Moscow-based developer who also brought us Energy Cycle and Energy Balance. On the face of it, the game looks like a Breakout clone (I prefer […]

Aaero is a rhythm action game from two-man English dev crew Mad Fellows. It was released elsewhere back in April but European gamers finally got the chance to pick it up earlier this month which led to it showing up on our radar and we’re glad it did. Like many […]

I’ve never been a Battlestar Galactica fan but games like Homeworld and the absolutely insane subterfuge of Eve Online make me green with envy over tactical space sims. Always nice to look at, I’ve rarely turned my hand at playing them. Slitherine’s Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock provides me with an introduction […]

Super Hydorah is an authentically retro-flavoured horizontal shoot ’em up from Spanish one-man dev studio Locomalito and is out now for PS4 and Vita as a cross-buy title. It is very much a game that is aware of the history that preceded it. This extends to all aspects of the […]

Lost Grimoires 2: Shard of Mystery is another Artifex Mundi game and the follow up to Lost Grimoires: Stolen Kingdom which I rather liked. As with all their other output this is a hidden object puzzle game and very much sticks to the template laid down in previous games. If you’ve played one […]

We never have to wait long for a roguelike 16-bit action adventure game and One More Dungeon is the latest one to arrive on PSN after a couple years of floating around on Steam. It was put together by Stately Snail, a two-man Russian studio, and is available now as […]

Of all the topics to base a game on a gaming podcast maybe isn’t the first which springs to mind. Oddly though this is just what 99Vidas has done and the resultant game is a side scrolling beat ‘em up. These kind of games were all the rage in the late 80s […]

Star Ocean: The Last Hope was originally released as a 360 exclusive, back when Japan supporting Microsoft was still a thing. It was later ported to PS3 and now we have it on PS4 in the form of, brace yourselves, Star Ocean: The Last Hope – 4K & HD Remaster. […]
