A good rail shooter game from a budding new indie game developer. Expecting to see further updates and contents. Definitely worth trying. Challenging, frustrating and enjoyable at same time :)

Droopy Balls Simulator 2021
There was a time in my life where I was so lost. That was prior to September 17th, 2021. Thanks to Greener Productions and my recent purchase of a faster potato, this game has renewed my purpose in life.
I wake up revitalized and rejuvenated after being graced by DBS2K21. This didn’t only revolutionize the gaming industry, it saved my life. Thank you for delivering this gem unto the world.

People often talk about emergent gameplay and peak artifical intelligence in gaming and will often cite the most modern triple-A releases. Those people will find the true height of game design here. This simple, yet deeply complex release showcases the power of what a small team of dedicated professionals (or in this case, a single visonary) is truely capable of. You can tell that Greener Productions must have dedicated countless hours to the science and art of sack tightness. Greener must have done little else than observe the raw elasticity of a sack under many conditions for months. Aerodynamic tests, drop tests and a great deal of examination of sacks of all shapes and sizes have led to this masterpiece of modern technology.

Rambo The Video Game + Baker Team DLC
If you love Rambo and incredible ’80s action, then Rambo: The Video Game is exactly the game you’re looking for.
As soon as Rambo: The Video Game was announced, I was ecstatic. The trailer made the game seem like nothing but balls-to-the-walls action, recreating all the kick-ass Rambo shit that Rambo did in the Rambo movies. It was seemingly going to be everything I had ever wanted a Rambo game to be, going all the way back to 1988 when I spied the cover of the Rambo NES game and imagined what treasures the game might hold. That game did not live up to my internal hype, but Teyon’s Rambo: The Video Game didn’t just live up to my huge, unrealistic expectations, it shot an explosive arrow directly into their heart and machine-gunned them as they begged for mercy.

I am a huge fan of Rambo. I have read “First Blood,” and own all four movies. When this game was first released it flew under my radar until I saw it on a worst-of-2014 list of video games. Apparently it belonged to many worst-of-year lists. I had a PS3 (still do) and didn’t want to take up hard drive space downloading the Steam game, so I got the PS3 version instead for cheap just to see if it was that bad. I was pleasantly surprised that it followed very closely the storyline and atmosphere of the first three movies. I personally enjoy on-rails shooters and I quickly became addicted to this game! Amazingly despite the negative reviews the developers included a DLC, Baker Company, with the game two years after its release. Unfortunately they apparently sent it to the Playstation Store for upload but for one reason or another it never got posted online. I checked it earlier today: there is a version 1.01 patch but no Baker Company DLC available, and you apparently can’t even buy Rambo there anymore. :-(

Sea Battle: Annihilation
Fun casual arcade game. Great to play when you don’t have enough time to boot up a big game and get sunk into it. Love games like this for that aspect! Can upgrade your sub as you progress!

I actually enjoyed this game more than I expected to. For less than $2 I thought I would try this nostalgia trip. I have fond memories of playing similar games growing up. It’s not a game I expect to play for extended periods but much like a mobile game, I will open this up and play short bursts when I feel like it. The collisions are accurate, the sound is very fitting and overall I had a great time with this. With the menu options, I think ‘less is more’ but I have no real complaints about this game and would recommend it to others.

Sniper Ships: Shoot’em Up on Rails
Very cool! A good mix of FPS with shoot up, with a very psychedelic look, is quite challenging. These neon lights look like 80s movies trying to imagine what the future looks like
– Real player with 2.2 hrs in game
Really cool shooter game, flashy LSD visuals, two shooting patterns, one frontal and one mouse driven, very hard, but very satisfying to play. Climb the leaderboards, fight harder and harder challenges. The Shooting Ships bundle is really filled with little delightful gems!

Viper
Note before We begin: While I may not have much on the PC Version of the game I have owned the original PS1 Version of the game since it’s release and will be referring mostly to the PS1 Version for this review
In addition at the time of this writing there is a bug causing the game to crash on the 2nd level without entering the password for it. The developers have confirmed this is being fixed.
Viper…This could be one of the most obscure games in the Playstation’s Library.
If I could summarize Viper I would say it is Star Fox mixed with a Shoot ‘em up. You play as Eddie Crane piloting his craft The Viper as he strikes out against aliens who have covertly invaded Earth…Thats it, Thats the story

So this was an interesting, didn’t expect to see it here of all places and hopefully you’ll find this review helpful:
- This is a PS1 game:
I’m not saying this is a port of a PS1 game, this is literally a rip of the disc being run through a PS1 emulator, specifically PCSX-Reloaded, you’d think this would be a negative and it kind of is, but it’s actually very convenient, the build of PCSX-R they use doesn’t have a lot of features and I found it fairly lacking, but hey, you can easily use any other emulator if you want, the game files are right there in the folder! I used Duckstation, which is why it looks like I haven’t played the game for more than a few minutes on steam, it allowed me to upscale the game, run it smoothly and I even used a widescreen hack because why not, it’s super simple to do and I highly recommend it because that’s the fun of PC gaming. That said, I do wish the product page was upfront about it, much of GOG’s runs on Dosbox, emulation is legit, no need to hide it.

Zombieland VR: Headshot Fever
The Key was given by the developers and I am enormously grateful for the opportunity to stream it and review the game.
If you like arcade rail shooter this game is for you, I really enjoyed playing it and it makes me want there to be a house of the dead VR too ,the game focuses a lot on beating times and shooting well so if you are into that you will like alot the game!
I took me around 9+ hrs with extra content (they add a update adding new levels) and there is still more to come to the game! so looking excited about the bonus content and not leaving the game in a lonely state like ALOT of VR games out there

well, it might not look like much. just your regular zombie wave shooter.
but this game is about quick and accurate shooting, picking your targets in the most efficient order to get unlocks and climb up the leaderboards. just chain thoose headshots together and dont miss too many shots. sounds totally simple if you are a professional shooter, but i bet you are not. xD
really, i just stumbled randomly across this game. it deserves way more coverage so other people might also learn of the games existence. Zombieland definitely has great polish and good voice acting. its easy to pick up and will keep you challenged for a quite while especially if you compare your scores to what a friend can achieve ;)

ExZeus 2 (Legacy)
Mecha Space Harrier
So this is another hidden gem on Steam, a sequel to an obscure classic Exzeus 1 from the Sega Naomi arcade boards and later ported to the PS2, Wii (renamed as Shoot Out and Counter Force) and PC. This one came out first for the Android platforms, then ported to Windows 8 store and a few years later here to Steam. So what is this?
Well in its core it is a Space Harrier type of game where you are on-rails, but can move around the screen blasting everything in your way. But Exzeus 2 puts his own spin on this formula by breaking the on-rails action with on-foot sections which are in 3rd person, in small areas where enemies spawn and you run around freely shooting and punching them. There are also occasional vehicle sections like bikes and jeeps which all have different moves you can pull off. At the end of each level, there is a huge boss with weak points to exploit.

I’m surprised to find that ExZeus 2 is pretty much the closest to a StarFox 64-style game I’ve seen on Steam so far… It’s got a good arcadey pace to it, with things happening all over that you have to react to and lots of mode switching to different kinds of action sequences. The main 3D shmup sequences are intense but tightly controlled with lots of shooting.
However: the constant mode switching means that they’ve implemented a bunch of different little action games, and I don’t like all of them equally. The combat on foot part is by far my least favorite, and the most common. Turning around and shooting enemies feels like driving a drunk pig, and it seems like they think that this mode is a good way to show you new character models, with little introductions each time a mechanically indistinguishable enemy is introduced, but this game isn’t good- or strange-looking enough for that to entertain me much at all.
