ONE BTN BOSSES (PC) Review
Hi, my name is Will, and I am addicted to ONE BTN BOSSES. Okay, addicted is a strong word. Maybe enamored is a better way to describe my love for Midnight Munchies’ premiere title that is so simple that anyone can play it. You press one button. Yes. One button. It’s in the name, my dude(tte)! The first time I saw a trailer for ONE BTN BOSSES, I honestly wasn’t convinced that this game would be fun...[Read More]
Tevi (PS5) Review
Last year, I was given an opportunity to preview Tevi for the PC. At the time, it was in Early Access, meaning that much of the game was unfinished and the main goal was for me to test out its metroidvania meets bullet hell combat in a handful of boss encounters. At the time, I was solidly impressed with what I was given access to play. Tevi released last November on PC. I didn’t get to review the...[Read More]
Rightfully, Beary Arms (Chumps Preview)
Chumps Preview is a special kind of post where we unofficially preview games in Early Access, Beta, or are otherwise “unfinished.” This kind of preview is meant to be a first impression rather than a definitive review where we provide a rating to determine a game’s value. As such, we fully expect a game covered in a Chumps Preview to have room for improvement, some bugginess/incompleteness, and ot...[Read More]

Thy Creature Review
Good gravy! This is one bullet hell of a game. While I have certainly seen worse in some side-scrolling shooters from Japan, Thy Creature is nonetheless a pain in the ass in a different way (and purposely so). It’s got a good mixture of a creepy story, some minor puzzle solving, and a heavy amount of pick the right strategy as enemies rain bullets down on you in a patterned fashion. It’s a lot, bu...[Read More]

Mushihimesama (Nintendo Switch)
When I was in high school, I remember coming across a Youtube video of an expert Touhou player surviving what seemed like an impossible boss. I was surprised by how they were able to precisely navigate their character through a screen that was nearly full of bullets. I was enchanted by the possibility playing a game that looked so difficult yet so simple. This started my love for bullet hell games...[Read More]

Ghost Blade HD
Hucast is finally bringing their talents to 21st century hardware. You could be forgiven for being unacquainted with Hucast’s work. DUX, Redux: Dark Matters, Redux 2, and the oddball platformer Alice’s Mom’s Rescue are all modern titles from the low-key German developer. These games haven’t gotten much traction from the dedicated shoot ’em up / bullet-hell community b...[Read More]
