From three-man Kiwi developer Rainbite (of Vita/PS4 adventure Reverie) and prolific shoot-em-up publisher Eastasiasoft comes Trigger Witch. This reviewer was a little twitchy to start with as the title had us recalling the frankly risible 360-era third person action game Bullet Witch. Thankfully for our sanity and those with good […]

Void Gore is the latest in the ever-growing line of retro-inspired shoot ’em ups from the prolific stable of Eastasiasoft. Their relationship with Panda Indie Studio has produced several games so far such as Null Drifter, Red Space and two Project Starship games and this one shares plenty of DNA […]

It was almost a year ago when we reviewed Project Starship, a vertically scrolling shoot ’em up from Panda Indie Studio and the prolific publishing house Eastasiasoft, our take away was that it was fun, unusual and quite mad but was let down by being too easy and far too short. We […]

We’ve reviewed Söldner-X 2: Final Prototype before. It came out in 2015 but was itself a port of the original 2010 PS3 release. As with the Vita version, this combines the original PS3 game and its DLC but, slightly protracted history aside, the game is a 2D shoot ’em up, very […]

Skatemasta Tcheco is a follow-up to Tcheco in the Castle of Lucio which was a simple 2D platformer that never made it quite as far as the PS4. Where that game was a screen by screen platformer, Skatemasta Tcheco is an auto-scroller that sees you playing as the titular Tcheco, […]

And so continues Eastasiasoft’s prolific run of shoot ’em ups! Zero Strain is their latest offering and while it has similarities with their recent releases, it also feels like something of a step up. In recent months they’ve put out a series of vertically-scrolling shooters but this one is different. It […]

Continuing their recent, lengthy streak of retro-inspired shoot ’em ups, Eastasiasoft have released Octonaut which is a horizontally-scrolling shoot ’em up featuring the titutar Octonaut, a floating octopus who is tasked with saving the Earth from an alien invasion. Set across eight stages, the game plays out in typical fashion with […]

Many Faces is a single-screen platform shoot ’em up from the recently prolific Eastasiasoft and continues their recent trend for basic shoot ’em ups with very easily obtained platinum trophies. In this game you play as an egg-shaped being (very reminiscent of the ZX Spectrum character Dizzy) who can walk […]

We’re not sure where Eastasiasoft are finding all these games but they’ve managed to continue their recent run of quirky shoot ’em ups. Task Force Kampas is a vertically-scrolling shoot ’em up which has plenty in common with those recent Eastasiasoft releases (Null Drifter, Red Death and Rainbows, Toilets and […]

Having recently published two shoot ’ems up with very odd visual styles, Eastasiasoft are at it again. Red Death looked like a really old PC game from the ’80s with its four colour palette and Rainbows, Toilets and Unicorns looked like someone had eaten a bucket of Skittles and thrown […]
