Super Crush KO Nintendo Review

Since its launch, the Nintendo Switch and Indies have complimented each other beautifully. In the early months of the systems life, after besting Ganon, it was Indies we all turned to. Of those, Graceful Explosion Machine stood out with its bright visuals and tight action gameplay. Skip forward a few years, and the team over at Vertex Pop are back with Super Crush KO. Released on 16th January (for Nintendo Switch and Steam), it's time for another injection of bold colour and fast action into your game library. Gameplay Super Crush KO keeps with the gameplay sensibilities seen in Vertex Pop's past titles, but applies them to an action brawler. As Karen, you find yourself victim to the most heinous of crimes. Rule Zero has been broken - someone's taken your cat! (Also they're also i...

Hardcore Mecha Review- Lock And Load

So today I bring you Hardcore Mecha made by RocketPunch Games. More importantly, I have managed to get my hands on the PlayStation 4 version before general launch. Gameplay The first thing that hit me when I started Hardcore Mecha was the OST. I sat at the main menu listening to the opening soundtrack because it's that damn good. Hardcore Mecha starts you off with a tutorial for your first level. It's more like dangling a treat in front of you. Your tutorial level is in an all singing and all dancing mecha. This thing does everything and is a glimpse of things to come. Hardcore Mecha is at its heart a 2D side-scrolling shooter. Although in my opinion, it runs far deeper than just that. You can collect and research new weapons, defensive parts etc. you get to customise your mecha t...

WarpThrough Review – Warp, Dodge, Dip, Jump, Punch

Developed by Roofkat in the Netherlands, WarpThrough is a unique arcade-inspired action platformer. Created as a solo project by Ramon Huiskamp, WarpThrough has been shown off numerous times during its early development, during which players enjoyed the gameplay. Let's take a look at this one-man game, and see what he's come up with! Gameplay The gameplay in WarpThrough is pretty straight forward. You navigate small arenas that wrap around the screen, fight monsters and collect warps. The one thing that makes WarpThrough unique is that you have to stop moving to charge your attack. As you navigate the arenas to collect the warps, you have to kill the monsters, otherwise, they'll continue spawning, and you'll have a bad time. Collecting the warps allows doing research, which unlocks new l...

Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries Review – All Systems Nominal

Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries is a game that I have been waiting for since about 2005. The Mechwarrior series has been all but dead since the last iteration released in 2002, aside from the online multiplayer-only Mechwarrior: Online. There hasn't been a single-player entry in the series since Mechwarrior 4 launched on PC in 2002. Now, finally, Piranha Games is bringing us giant stompy robots in a single-player game. Originally slated for release in December 2018, Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries was met with a slew of delays, pushing it back to December 10th 2019. Now the time is here to hop in our BattleMechs and take on the review. Reactor: Online. Sensors: Online. Weapons: Online. All Systems Nominal. Let's do this, Pilots.

AVICII Invector Review – Rhythmic EDM Awesomeness

AVICII Invector is a rhythmic action music-based game created by Swedish devs Hello There Games and published by Wired Productions. It is released for Playstation, Xbox and PC on 10th December 2019 and on Nintendo Switch in early 2020. The late artist AVICII (Tim Bergling), was a legend to me when it came to electronic dance music as he brought a very distinct uplifting melody and beat to each song that he created or remixed. His sudden death back in 2018 was gutting not only to his friends and family, but also to his fans around the world. For developer Hello There Games, they were in the middle of creating Avicii Invector with him, with development starting back in 2015. What began as a collaboration has in fact now become a legacy to AVICII. So what was this game they were creat...

Arizona Sunshine The Damed DLC PSVR Review – I’ll Be Damned!!!

New from Vertigo Games and Jaywalkers Interactive comes some further DLC for their Zombie shootem up /survival game Arizona Sunshine. The Damned is the second DLC released for the game and acts as a prequel to both the game itself and the previously released DLC Dead Man. So is this extra slice of Zombie slaying DLC worth a look? Read on to find out..... Gameplay First of all Vertigo Games must be congratulated on a puntactic game title as The Damned takes place, yes you've guessed it, on, in and around a huge hydro-electric dam in the Arizona desert. The game opens with you in the familiar airstream trailer from the main game and The Damned is started by inserting the appropriate named videotape into the VCR. This can be a mission in itself as you need to get to grips with how the c...

SuperEpic Nintendo Review – Supergood

SuperEpic, developed by Undercoders and published by Numskull games, is an action platformer with strong Metroidvania elements... wait, come back! Yes, Metroidvania games are ten a penny at this point, but SuperEpic innovates with its intriguing "cross-media" features, taking the experience beyond the console. Gameplay SuperEpic is set in an alternate reality in which a greedy company called RegnantCorp, which is literally run by pigs, have brain-washed the world's population into constantly playing terrible, loot-box and microtransaction-ridden games. You play as TanTan, a household object-wielding raccoon who rides atop a llama called Ola. I was initially put off by story of SuperEpic, which I found a bit too memey and ham-fisted (pardon the pun). These reservations melted away...

Terminator: Resistance Review – Come With Me If You Want To Live

Terminator: Resistance is an upcoming first-person shooter game developed by Teyon & published by Reef Entertainment, and is being released on November 15th on PC, PS4 & Xbox One. The story is set in a post-apocalyptic 2028 Los Angeles and is the prequel to The Terminator (1984) and Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) films. The new Terminator: Dark Fate film that has just been released in cinemas does not have any connection with the Terminator: Resistance game, as the game is ignoring all Terminator franchise films after the original first 2 films, just like how Dark Fate is doing. “The machines are destined to lose, but at what cost?” - let's DUNDUN DUN DUNDUN jump on in. Gameplay The premise of Terminator: Resistance is you take the role of Jacob Rivers, a soldier in ...

Domiverse Nintendo Review – A Super, Space-based Slap-fest

Domiverse is the debut title from the wonderfully named Haunted Tie. It is published by the slightly less wonderfully named Plug In Digital and was released on Nintendo Switch on 17 October 2019 for £12.99. Domiverse is a multiplayer one-hit arena fighter which attempts to re-create the balance of chaos and fun achieved by games such as Super Smash Bros, and it's Steam version has already amassed an army of fans. Is the Switch version worthy of universal praise or should it be chucked into a black hole? Gameplay Domiverse features a starting roster of 8 fighters, each of which is completely different in terms of appearance and skills. The drone-like W8T has the ability to hover around the arena, firing a 360-degree laser and leaving mines in its wake. The cat-serpent hybrid Snakit...
