Brigador: Up-Armored Edition
There’s a reason I’ve logged 200+ hours in this game in under 2 months. It’s fun as hell and offers incredible amounts of replay value and gameplay depth. There is an absolutely enormous amount of content, and everything is packed with detail.
The basic idea of the game is to pick a vehicle, a primary and secondary weapon, and then a special defensive weapon/feature, and go to town. You’re getting paid based on how much destruction you dish out by a cold, calculating megacorp, the SNC, that has only one goal: conquest of Solo Nobre, a massive walled city where the game takes place. You must secure the city district-by-district via whatever means necessary, even if that means completely leveling the entire map (which is totally doable, and even encouraged!).

Brigador is, on the surface, an isometric twin stick shooter where you choose a difficulty, vehicle, two weapons, a special ability, and a pack of levels to fight through. But what makes it so much more than just that is the flavortext. No, that’s not a joke. Every single map, Pilot, weapon, lore concept, and vehicle, including the non playable ones have a full paragraph or more written about its special quirks, how it came into service, crew oppinion, and other such things.
The setting is a genuinely interesting one. Yes the 80s synthwave meme is a bit overplayed these days, but it works out in a way that doesn’t feel forced in brigador. Cassette tapes and CRT moniters work along side crainial jacks in this dystopian North Korea meets Rio Brazil in an An-Cap universe and it just kinda works.

A pretty fun game with lots of potential. There are some bugs which is to be suspected for early access but they are not terrible. Also, the sounds need to be improved. For the time that I have owned it I have really enjoyed this game a lot. Definitely is a game that’s a lot of fun with friends. I just wish the game included a tips section as I am not really sure where to place my turrets, what quantity of which turrets to place, and the best way to place my walls. A little more direction would help. Overall I recommend it.

My first encounter with non-educational gaming came in the form of “Battlezone”, sometime in the early 90’s, on my grandpa’s Packard Bell with Prodigy Internet.
Windows 3.1 contained a suite of arcade classics, consisting of such titles as Centipede, Asteroids, Tempest, and so on. But Battlezone was the only one that hit me in the heart. That’s because I WAS the shooter, and every enemy projectile was a take on my life, and not the life of some idiot I was looking down on.
This game is Battlezone on crack cocaine.

woefully obsolete/misinformed; fun simple game that has a tendency to be reduced to combing the map for collectibles while kiting enemies.
Ladders are broken.
Walk into them while looking up.
This review was negative because I consistently encountered ladders that would not let me climb them. Though I did encounter one of those “camera-lock and teleported away” glitches (from an enemy exploding too close this time, not a ladder), I made it to level 3 in one sitting.
The game is fun and hearkens back to th’old days (of which I wasn’t a part). There are collectibles and weapons strewn about the level. One of those collecitbles - Robodudes - is dynamic, as in they run around the level. Grab them when you see them.

Battle Girls
A short, mecha fighting story with some romance options brought to you by the Dharker Studios.
You were chosen as a mecha pilot to represent your nation in an international competition. Just to be clear, there is no mecha action here, it’s pure VN. You have several battles to go through and multiple choices to reach one of many endings. While the VN is relatively short, to complete all scenarios will likely double the length so it’s not bad. Your choice will also influence if and who will you end up with. Writing quality is acceptable but there is not enough character development here. No real heroines' backgrounds or motivations present. Also, the main character was left as a blank slate, no sprite, no face, little to none personality. There are some slip ups and inconsistencies, e.g. wrong names used or story referring to events that did not occur due to the previous choices. Still, I enjoyed it more than expected from low budget VNs. One of better VNs from this developer.

So some background. I’m a FPS and RPG kinda person, but have played various other genres. My first visual novel was Doki Doki Literature Club, and it changed my life (good game, check it out it’s free). So when I was making a badge and got a coupon for this game, it peaked my interests.
However, instead of being just some cheap game with no depth, I was surprised to see how much depth this game’s story went into. I will admit, I don’t get the whole thing about it being a school or something, and yet they are battling other countries so they get an untrained dude to fight for them. But whatever….
