Developed by Nanovation Labs, Klaus Lee – Thunderballs is one of those games that doesn’t feel the need to try and reinvent the wheel, but it doesn’t need to. It’s a title that takes its simplicity in a warm embrace without lacking enough polish and a level design to have dusting that age-old mantra off, “just one more stage” and before you know it, it’s 4AM and you have work in 2 hours. From the off, Klaus Lee – Thunderballs gives off the prominent vibes of the classic Amiga and DOS classic title, Rick Dangerous. The no nonsense enemies, the booby-trap-riddled levels and the general atmosphere of danger all pay homage to those glorious days of pixelated punishment. However, unlike the older titles, Klaus Lee…
Lovingly crafted by indie studio, Nova Driftworks, Star Overdrive is a game that confidently promises two things from the off: speed and style. Set on an alien world, Cebate, you play as a solitary explorer, armed with nothing other than a hoverboard, a key-tar (insert eye-roll emoji) and an unhealthy disregard for the laws of gravity. The game’s premise surrounds your following up on a distress signal and sees you flying through the strange world of Cebate on your hoverboard, solving puzzles and fending off angry plant life and other such wonders. In a proverbial nutshell, Star Overdrive is a mix of open-world exploration, lighting fast traversal with some run-of-the-mill combat thrown into the mix and it works….mostly. A Hoverboard That’s Actually Fun to Use…
Developed by Salient games, Gore Doctor brings with it a heavy promise of a grotesque, psychological horror title that dives into the twisted mind of a doctor who has lost everything; including his sanity. With a visual aesthetic dripping in blood, flesh and broken morality, the game is made to shock, disturb and to challenge players to survive its nightmarish halls. However, while it succeeds in leaving an impression, said impression if so often a mixed bag of badgers. Meat hooks, Medics and Abject Horror Waking up in an eerie mental institute where reality is distorted and bends in malevolent ways, you’re straightaway whisked off to a world of dread – thick with the decay of insanity and desperation. The doctor who stands at the…
The ladies and gentleman of Playism have pulled out all of the stops with Nitro Express. Throwing you into a chaotic pixel-art take on Tokyo, where drones have gone haywire and all fingers point to the Atypical Vehicle Disposal Squad when it comes to who it will fall on to clean the streets – once and for all. Merging classic arcade shoot-’em-ups with late-night anime, Playism here present an in-your-face extravaganza, full of kickass guns, cool gadgets and, of course, non-stop mayhem. However, for all its charm and charisma, Nitro Express isn’t without its faults. Welcome to Nitro City Nitro Express throws you into the highly polished boots of a Nitro City cop where your beat is a neon explosion of a Cyberpunk-esque city. While…
I have to admit that my expectations of Hook: Complete Edition were rather low when I first cast my eye over the screenshots. It just looked so lackluster, so uninspiring. However, these early reservations were soon resolved as I fell for its wily charms and into its baited trap. Hook: Complete Edition is the epitome of the “simplicity is key” mantra. There are no detailed graphics, no storyline to follow, there’s not even a lot of color – just a plain, no nonsense puzzle game that leaves all the bells and whistles at home in favor of a pick up and play approach that burns time at an alarming rate. What You See is What You Get in Hook: Complete Edition With Hook: Complete Edition…
