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.

Ghost 1.0 – Do androids fear Ghosts?

Ghost 1.0 is a 2D platformer in the “Metroidvania” genre, and it’s made by the developers Unepic fran. It’s set in the future and your role in this somewhat cyberpunk: ish world is to infiltrate a spaceship hanging around in low orbit around earth. Now, I’m not an expert on this genre, even if I have played a few, so I can’t say for certain if it’s a Metroidvania game to its core, but I do think it’s a fair bit linear to truly be a Metroid-like game. However, I had a really good time playing, and even if I didn’t have to search every nook and cranny to find my way through the game.
