Devastator Review
Platforms: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch (reviewed), PC Devastator touts itself as being a retro-inspired twin-stick shooter that is polished to the point of being the most intense and satisfying twin-stick shooter experience possible. It also claims to have such a surprising amount of depth and subtlety that it offers […]
Destropolis Review
Platforms: Nintendo Switch (reviewed), Microsoft Windows At first glance, you might be wondering just what the hell kind of game Destropolis is. Well, it turns out that it’s a top-down twin-stick shooter with a fully destructible environment. If I hadn’t just played it, that probably wouldn’t have been my first guess, judging by the way […]
Rock Out With Your Cart Out 67 – Illumination Laser (X68000)
I swear I’m not trying to out-obscure myself every few episodes, but I stumbled on this one and had to share. I mean, I’ve said how much I love a good shooter soundtrack and how much I love a good X68000 soundtrack. Now, a good X68000 shooter soundtrack? Yeah, right in my wheelhouse. Anyway, you’ll […]
Splatoon 2 Review
Platforms: Nintendo Switch I wasn’t sure about Splatoon 2. I hadn’t played the first (like most I didn’t own a WiiU) and the gimmick of painting over killing seemed almost too passive. I’m happy to admit how wrong I was. Splatoon 2 is a fantastic mesh of unique ideas and style, even if it is […]
We Are Doomed Review
Platforms: Mac, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita (reviewed), Windows, and Xbox One We Are Doomed is a chaotic twin-stick arena style shooter. It’s a game all about using a giant laser beam to take out a variety of polygon enemies. It’s all about the gameplay and chasing high scores as there’s no story, no cutscenes, and […]
Drifting Lands – See You Space Cowboy
Drifting Lands is a side-scrolling shooter after my heart. It takes a side-scrolling shooter and adds in RPG and rogue-like elements and that should keep me coming back far longer than pattern recognition does. I stepped into it a few days ago and found myself backing away from it before I even got a chance […]

Dreamcast Shooter Ghost Blade Getting HD Treatment
If you’ve been in the market for a shooter (“shmup” if you’re nasty), Ghost Blade HD, which was previously only available for the Dreamcast, is coming to Playstation 4, Xbox One, Wii U, and Steam on February 28th. This wasn’t a release that came out during the Dreamcast’s retail lifespan, Ghost Blade was released in 2015. The Dreamcast has […]
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Review
Platforms: PC, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360 (reviewed) Blood Dragon is quite the sales pitch for Far Cry 3. While the first two Far Cry games didn’t do much that I felt like latching onto them, I never even gave the third entry a try. After putting in six or eight hours into Blood Dragon, I […]
