Within the Blade Review

Its Retro, its 16-BIT and brings back all the memories of days-gone-by of sitting in front of a Sega Mega Drive as time flew by playing a certain 2D platform game with a blue hedgehog. From the indie house that is Ametist comes Within The Blade, a 2D jaunt around 1560's Civil war-torn Japan. Let's just get one thing out of the way first. If this game looks familiar to some that is because it is. Ametist originally released this game on Steam under the name Pixel Shinobi: Nine demons of Mamoru way back in 2017, now in 2021 we have it renamed and released for Xbox If you love this game and want to share your thoughts or just like this review, leave us a comment.

Radio Viscera Review

From the development studio Fireface, under the publication of Alliance comes Radio Viscera. What we have here is a top-down shooter that's a bit different in Radio Viscera you don't have a gun as such, it's more a tool that knocks enemies back into perilous traps. Fireface is made up of just one man, that man being Owen Deery. I was quite surprised to learn that one man was behind this, as it's quite polished and really does run well, but we'll get to all that later. The walls are weak... Destroy them Being a fan of indie games with an arcade-like feel, I was excited to give this one a go. How did I get on? You'll have to carry on reading to find that one out. If you enjoy this review, you can check out my previous article, where I gave a preview of Terra Nil here. As always you can cat...
