๐น๐ Monster Sanctuary | Ten Minute Taster | Nintendo Switch | "Stardew Valley Meets Pokemon" ๐น๐ @moi_rai_ #GameDev #IndieGames
Monster Sanctuary is a monster-taming RPG with party-based combat and Metroidvania-like exploration.
New monsters provide additional strategic options in combat and allow you to overcome obstacles to explore new areas and find hidden treasures.
The turn-based combat focuses on team synergy and combos, distinguishing Monster Sanctuary from other popular monster collecting games.
As the youngest heir of an ancient bloodline of proud Monster Keepers, you step out into the world to follow in your ancestors' footsteps. You will gather a party of monsters to grow and train.
Meanwhile, a series of unsettling events worry the experienced Keepers of the Monster Sanctuary.
This is the beginning of a journey to unravel the cause of a mystery that threatens the peace between humans and monsters.

๐พ๐ธ Space Invaders Forever | Ten Minute Taster | Nintendo Switch | "Time To Blast Those Invaders Forever" ๐พ๐ธ #SpaceInvaders
Space Invaders Forever is out on the Nintendo Switch and I have been taking a look at it for Games Freezer.
When I first saw this I thought here we go, another attempt to cash in on one of legendary video games franchises from the history of this wonderful medium.
After playing this collection of 3 games I'm both surprised and a little disappointed with what is on offer here on the Nintendo Switch version of Space Invaders Forever.

๐ฎ๐ The Best Video Games Console Christmas Presents From 1979 to 2001 ๐ฎ๐ #Retrogaming #GamersUnite
My sister got a Pong machine in the early 80s for Christmas and I can barely remember it but after that Christmas, I was always eager for a Christmas video game or a console to be popped into my Christmas stocking.
There was the classic Christmas when I was desperate for a ZX Spectrum +2 but Dad got me an ATARI XEGS but I loved it!
Christmas is a great time for a gamer as you seem to get that bit of extra downtime to play your new games before your next helping of cold turkey in a roll.
Let's kick off our Christmas look by hurtling back in time to December 1979...

๐ Britt’s Games of the Year (& Honourable Mentions) 2020 ๐ #IndieGames #GameDev #GamersUnite
This year has been a bit of a different one for me in that some titles that really drew me in were quite flawed and so playing through them was occasionally a bittersweet experience but they made a mark that I can’t ignore.
This isn’t a ‘top ten’ list in any order but rather a list of games that still spring to mind as we approach the end of a pretty challenging and tumultuous year.
Weather-wise, it’s a miserable day here in Cardiff so to brighten things up, let’s talk video games.

⚔️๐ก️ Oceanhorn 2: Knights of the Lost Realm | Review | Nintendo Switch | "A solid title that just misses the mark, for me" ⚔️๐ก️ @cornfox #IndieGames #GameDev
Game Title: Oceanhorn 2: Knights of the Lost Realm
Platform Reviewed: Switch
Rating: 6.5/10
I’m always dubious about mobile ports to the Switch, having been burned by some pretty lazy examples in the past. With Oceanhorn 2, however, I was so taken by the trailer that I had to have a crack at it, as I fancied an open-world adventure that I could play on the move (well…in bed).
Whilst the game is pretty, runs well and appears to tick all the boxes, it, unfortunately, felt a touch bland and as such, I couldn’t get fully hips deep in the experience.

I'm always on the lookout for retro gaming related items to buy, even though I haven't really got the room and I generally settle for emulation over physical hardware due to space constraints.
But sometimes I just like looking around eBay and fantasising about owning an AMSTRAD CPC and playing football manager 2 on it all day long.

๐ง♂️ Outbreak: The Nightmare Chronicles | Review | Nintendo Switch | "claustrophobic, early survival horror tropes return" ๐ง♂️ @deaddropstudios #GameDev #IndieGames
Game Title: Outbreak: The Nightmare Chronicles
Developer: Dead Drop Studios LLC
Platform Reviewed: Switch
Having recently played the preceding titles in Dead Drop Studios LLC’s Outbreak series, I was keen to see how the third entry would play out. As it turns out, this is more akin to the first in the series – Outbreak: The New Nightmare – in that the fixed camera angles and more claustrophobic, early survival horror tropes return.
This is a good thing, though, as the studio has improved on a lot of irritations from that early game, although some issues do remain.
