Absolum: Threads of Fate Review (PS5)
When playing Absolum it takes moments to understand why it is one of the most phenomenal beat ’em ups available. Made as a collaborative effort between Dotemu, Guard Crush, and Supamonks, those in the know should understand the weight behind two of those names. Dotemu has had its hands in the phenomenal Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge and the recent MARVEL: Cosmic Inva...[Read More]
MARVEL Cosmic Invasion Review
Tribute Games has proved their beat ’em up chops with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge. Evoking years’ worth of Turtles content from cartoons, comics, and games, Shredder’s Revenge was a near pitch-perfect beat ’em up. Tribute Games has a knack for crafting games that feel, well, like tributes to a classic style. It makes sense considering the team wor...[Read More]
Absolum (PC) Review
“Death is just another step on your journey.” These were the words that Mother Uchawi and her Root Sisters whispered to me when I perished at the hands of some magic-hating minion of the Sun King Azra. These were the words that comforted me when I perished run-after-run. Absolum is a gorgeous and deeply engaging “rogue ‘em up” from the developers Guard Crush, Supamonks, and Dotemu. If Dotemu rings...[Read More]

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound Review
Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound effortlessly replicates the old-school fangs of Tecmo’s 1988 classic not by innovating but by staying true to form. Developer The Game Kitchen–who is also responsible for the fantastic Blasphemous series–understands that the path towards creating a “classic” 2D Ninja Gaiden game isn’t by layering complexity on an already tried and true fo...[Read More]
Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound Preview
When Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound‘s protagonist Kenji is struck by an enemy, he doesn’t fly backward. To any veteran of the Ninja Gaiden trilogy for the NES, those words are likely evocative of the cheapest deaths older consoles offered. How many times did a medusa head jettison a Belmont body into a death pit? Or a pellet from a robot make Mega Man jitter into a hole? But with Ryu Hayabusa...[Read More]
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge – Dimension Shellshock Review (PlayStation)
Over a year ago, our very own Ben Sheene reviewed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge for the PlayStation. In his review, he noted that it’s one of the best cooperative experiences players can have because of how it evokes the nostalgic days of gaming on a couch. I cannot help but agree with his assessment of the game being a 9.5/10 because of how fun the single player and cooperative...[Read More]
Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes – Definitive Edition Review
It has been a long time since I have been so definitively frustrated with a game and its mechanics. I honestly cannot remember the last game where I walked away yelling, “FINE! Be that way” and never returned to it again. It takes a lot to get me there, but here we are right now. While I certainly appreciate the thought and dedication that went into creating Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes – De...[Read More]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge pretends as if the last twenty years of gaming hasn’t existed. It imagines a world where Konami did not stop churning out sequels to Turtles in Time and licensed titles were still told by way of beat ’em ups. Tribute Games, a stalwart developer of classic-inspired titles, has lived up to its name with Shredder’s Revenge. Desp...[Read More]
Windjammers 2 Review
I had my fun with Windjammers back in the NEO GEO day. I think I played the hell out of that in the arcades. Scratch that, I know I played the hell out of it in the arcades. If you’re not familiar with the game, it’s essentially frisbee mixed with Jai Alai, where you bounce a frisbee off a wall to score a basket behind your opponent. That’s the basic structure of the game and a few added gameplay ...[Read More]
