ARCH STONE vs The Zombie Specters is another Archor Games classic. You play as ARCH STONE, a tactical blue sweater enthusiast, out to save the world from a virus outbreak. Equipped with an array of powerful weapons, strong knee attacks, intense vehicles, and the all important blowmo button (press ‘b’ for blow motion), you will wade through mercs and specters to get to the end of levels.
I enjoyed my time with this game and am always looking forward to see what the developer is working on next (they have been cotninually upping their game and its great to experience).

In The Valley of Death -Prologue-
Really solid lil top-down action game, with some light bullet hell challenge mixed in. Hits just the right balance of being challenging, but also fairly casual and breezy, with most of the challenge simply coming from how comfortable you are with it’s unorthodox control scheme. Also: it runs like greased lightning, the player’s hitboxes feel super well-tweaked, and the movement is quite tight - so every death feels completely deserved. Just a solid arcade feel, all-around. Though, don’t expect an expansive options suite - or any options at all, actually. On the main menu, you’ve got New Game, Continue, Multiplayer, Credits, and Quit (exit game) - that’s it. But, I will say, the default settings worked just fine for me - so, hopefully, they’ll also work for you.

Can’t actually start the game. I press the “play” button, the screen flashes and absolutely nothing happens. Too bad, I wanted to try it out :(
EDIT: Bug was fixed :)

Check out this awesome retro shooter. Apparently most people have been completing it in 2-3 hours but I’m 3 hours in and only 1/2-2/3 through the game. Gameplay is simple but a little unusual (in a good way). Really have a lot of fun with it!
The best way I can describe this is as a “top down metroidvania” with bullet hell elements. Exploring is as fun as clearing rooms. Retro graphics are simplistic but well done. Challenging and very fun.

The more I play this game, the more I enjoy it. Make no mistake, this is old school gaming at its core. Meaning no mercy. You learn through your many mistakes. And somehow you get better. You finally beat the game. But you look back and think you can do better. So you play it again, hoping to get even better.
For the love of god, use a controller. Friends don’t let friends use keyboard for this game. That being said, the controls take some time getting used to. You will probably be spending a good amount of time stumbling with the controls before it feels right, however long it takes. Targetting will always feel somewhat off, but somehow, like everything else in the game, it somehow works out.

I didn’t like it, not because of the difficulty -I actually found it interesting that you have to move out of your comfort zone and learn a different moveset. No, I didn’t like it because it’s just not very enjoyable.
First, let’s be clear: the casual players should just go on their way because this game is not for them. The fact that there is less than 10% players with the “finish the game” achievement should be telling. Once you get past half the game you’ll start to have good feelings with the gameplay, but it will be too late for most players and there is just too much bs to go through.

CYBERUSH
I’m not quite sure what to say about ‘CYBERUSH’, it’s a manga style shooter that is very light on just about everything. You get to pick a choice of 3 weapons which are sword, gun and shotgun and you kill enemies with them then goto the lift up to the next level which seems to be a constant rotation of about 5 office style layouts. From its annoying music to the basic graphics this game is as low quality as they come, but the biggest issue is that it doesn’t really have playability to back it up. Even the money I collected in the game seemed to be for nothing. This is certainly not something I would recommend for £7.19, but if some issues get fixed it might be worth a quid or two. https://youtu.be/httvkuexin4

Cube Gothic
Even for an Arkhouse game, this was a very masochistic experience, it’s shame because this game has a great story and I wish more people could experience it - it’s almost like the developer does not want anyone to see his artwork. It took me slightly over 4 hours to complete, it’s pretty long for a 2D bullet-hell, give or take a few hours depending on your reflexes. The narrative is connected to at least 2 other Arkhouse games, so if you skip those you might have a hard time understanding the importance of recurring characters. Even though I love the narrative in his games, Arkhouse stories are very metaphorical, there is some space for personal interpretation. Unfortunately, the difficulty is not fair, I don’t mind challenging gameplay, but a lot of it has to do with confusing hitboxes, punishing checkpoint system, and the need for excessive stage repetition. If you don’t play carefully you can potentially create a very poor checkpoint with low HP, although sometimes you can reload the game and go a bit further back.

Oh this game…
I WANTED to like this game. I SO wanted to! The art style and the music was interesting! And while the game was hard, it was still fun! But then in the middle, the game jumped the shark with a m weird maze and minesweeper level and PLATFORMING levels which made no sense!
And the levels starting getting VERY cheap and annoying! Sadistically cheap! Being hit out of nowhere by attacks you can’t see! Weakpoints that you have to guess to find! And the story jumping the shark like that! And the most annoying thing being much of the non-story text being backwards! That made things VERY annoying to understand!

Duty in Forest
Amazing looking game but has a few MAJOR issues.
First off, the AI is both amazing and horrible at the same time. It has the capacity to know you are behind cover and adjust but it also has unlimited ammo and godly aim. It can shoot through 50 meters of trees and shrubs easy with unrivaled accuracy.
Secondly, the map looks amazing but has had very little thought put into it. To beat the hard AI the only way i found to beat the game was to avoid it by running around the edges of the map and using a health pack to run through groups of enemies.

looks fine, plays fine, but it’s WAY too short. it’s hard to see the enemy through grass and bushes but they can see you and they fire at you non-stop. needs more content. it runs fine because it’s one tiny map with about 25 enemies. once you kill them. pick up 2 packages and it’s over. 20 mins tops
zero replay value
