Space Invaders Invincible Collection Releasing Digitally August 17th

Yes, that's right. There is a "new" Space Invaders game releasing in 2021. Well, I say new, it's actually a new collection of Space Invaders games. The Space Invaders Invincible Collection is coming real soon to Nintendo Switch. The collection will launch digitally on August 17th for the aforementioned Nintendo hybrid handheld. Taito and ININ Games are pleased to announce this, and I can understand why. Space Invaders is genuinely a game that holds a special place in a lot of peoples hearts, especially in the hearts of the retro fans among us.

Jupiter Hell Review

Welcome to my review of Jupiter Hell, which is available now on PC via Steam and GOG! Brought to us by developers ChaosForge (Doom The Roguelike) and publishers Hyperstrange (Postal: Brain Damaged, Frozenheim). What Jupiter Hell can promise is that it's a roguelike turn-based strategy game like no other! Jupiter Hell - Not For The Faint Of Heart! Will I survive the hordes of demonic forces? Or will I fail and hit that eternal permadeath wall? If you enjoy this review, please feel free to check out my previous preview here, where I played Draft of Darkness.

Draft Of Darkness Preview

Welcome to my preview of Draft of Darkness. Brought to us by Crawly Games, who published and developed Draft of Darkness. This game will be available on Steam Early Access on 30th July 2021.

Can we make it through the dark and dank corridors? Continue reading to find out. If you enjoy this preview, please be sure to check out my previous review here whe...
