Hypogea — Vaulting for Freedom [Review]

Who knew that even robots made for war and industry don’t like to live in vast underground rusty metallic tunnels—left to rot after the end of humanity. I can’t say I blame the poor things, since while these massive subterranean constructions look wondrous and are very atmospheric—they have an air of decay to them, as they’re all that’s left of a bygone era. With that, welcome to the review of Hypogea, which is a moody third-person platformer set underground, with no voice-acting, and no enemies—except the water that will rust your bolts within seconds if you miss that crucial jump!

Terminator 2D: NO FATE – Launch Trailer [Trailer]

Boy, this one looks fun! Especially for someone that adores the two first movies. While I find Terminator, the better film of the two, Terminator 2 is no slouch when it comes to the action. Terminator 2D: NO FATE is essentially the whole plot line of the sequel—now in the form of a sleek looking 2D platformer made in exquisite pixel art. The atmosphere, world detail and the animations look to be absolutely top-notch going by the trailer. It’s set to release in two days (12th) from now on Steam—so make sure to warm up the mini-gun in time! Check out the cool trailer after the jump.

Archrebel Tactics – Official Trailer

Do you remember Archrebel Tactics, the spiritual successor to Rebelstar? I interviewed Fernando Pereira, the solo creator, some time ago. Back then, it was a personal project with big ambitions, but it felt like there was only about a fifty percent chance it would ever be completed and released. One moment that cemented my doubt was when Fernando had to return to a regular 9-to-5 job for financial reasons.

However, that was then. Now, Fernando has signed with MicroProse to publish his game, and he’s been able to leave his job to work on Archrebel Tactics full-time again. That’s fantastic news, because the demo was very entertaining and showed great promise for the future! Check out the trailer after the jump!

Cyber Knights: Flashpoint – Impressions (semi-review)

Now, after spending about 30 hours in the deadly cyberpunk world of Cyber Knights: Flashpoint, I’m ready to write some impressions. I would rather do a full-blooded review, per usual, but the game is not complete, even after being released as 1.0. Call me autistic, but I think this should mean something, especially in this world of gaming when dubious Early Access releases are very common. I’m not calling Cyber Knights: Flashpoint “dubious”, far from it. Yet, it doesn’t change the fact that it was released unfinished, as I will show in screenshots after the jump. Other than that, it’s a good title for anyone who enjoys X-com-like games.
