Trigonarium

Trigonarium

This is EXCELLENT. I bought it on sale, and would happily pay full price.

I loved Geometry Wars, Waves and countless other 2-stick shooters (also old enough to have loved Asteroids…), but this feels fresh. It’s perfectly polished, and the addition of constant mid-game changes to the arena shape gives you something new to run away from, learn, and sometimes use to your advantage.

No unfair deaths, no easy/lazy ways to grind through levels, no smart bombs, and in challenge mode just one life.

Trigonarium is a very solid twin-stick shooter that has never received the recognition and love it well deserves. If you find the Geometry Wars games to be too fast for you, but you enjoy the mechanics of Super Stardust HD, then this is the game you want to have a go at. Unlike many other titles in the same price bracket, this one appears to have been tested thoroughly: I don’t recall experiencing any bugs whatsoever.

This title is critically underrated and at only three euros it’s an absolute steal. I urge everyone to give it a whirl!

Congo

Congo

Having had a single and multiplayer experience, I’d have to say that Innocent Devils have managed to create a game that definitely requires team work, communication and organisation! Single player is like playing Permadeath, so it is ill advised, although MIGHT suggest room for some AI? Even one…

The enemies arrive in heavier hordes the further you progress, which means that the tension builds constantly, allowing you no room to relax, or feel comfortable even with your friends and 2 hands full of weaponry!

Congo:




It is pitch black and you are stranded in the middle of the Congolese jungle. You keep hearing noises coming from the bush and the foliage is cracking everywhere you look around. All you have going for you is a torch in one hand and a machete in the other hand!



Congo is an action/survival game where you can play by yourself, but it’s primary aim to play on a co-op basis with up to 3 of your mates. You will be able to play in two type of mods; defence or objective. The defence mod currently has 8 different locations and the aim is to make sure you do not lose your radio transmitter and to stay alive as long as you can. For the objective mod, well I guess you can figure this one out. Whatever you prefer to play, you will have to explore the jungle to find additional weapons, gizmos and tools either in crates or on the ground. You will always start with your machete but crates will get you access to revolvers, machines and submachine guns, shotgun, carabines and of course a limited amount of ammunition. Just a little tip for you, make sure you collect as many knives as you can. You will be pinned down to the ground by one of these demons and the only way to kill them went they are on top of you is to use a knife. Gps, flares (which scare the demons), fuel can, cutters and revive syringes (you can’t revive yourself, so this is only if you play as a party) are pretty much your gizmos and tools.

## Demons Ate My Neighbors!


**1991** — it seems like any other sweltering July in the sleepy suburbs of Fairweather Valley…until a cursed VHS unleashes untold horrors upon the neighborhood, turns the residents evil, and generally makes April & Joey’s summer a total bummer. Our heroes must exorcise their neighbors from hell, fight their way back to the haunted High School and rewind their summer to save the world!



Evoking moody ‘80s / ‘90s teen-horror with Saturday morning cartoons and a manic, humorous tone, Demons Ate My Neighbors! honors ‘90s co-op classics as only an unofficial SPIRITual sequel could.

It's fun, though the bots are well… still bots, but that's to be expected, at least they aren't bad, they just aren't to terribly great either. (They'll do stuff like get stuck in a room, or pilot your about-dead-ship into mines that could have very easily been avoided or destroyed... but they're pretty good in general with the rest of their duties)

I'd really like to see more missions go into this game, but as to the ones that are up they are fun (though, they could do with a bit more variation... especially exploritory-wise, as traveling through space doesn't seem to terribly interesting, but I'm not sure how you'd add more variety to that, besides maybe having a map where you have to carefully pilot around obstacles, or maybe pilot your way into a hanger/base of some sort).

I've had a blast playing this with my friends. I backed the kickstarter so I'm excited this is out. Currently there's a good amount of released missions for a few hours of gameplay, but since it's possible to highly customize your ship it's still very fun replaying those same missions, usually with a different crowd. Since you can play the multiplayer locally and the game is very easy to get in to it works well as a party game.



In early access there are still a few bugs, but for the most part the game is bug free.

Small and simple co-op but very fun


*– [Real player with 1.4 hrs in game](http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198022720171)*





Small co-op station game.



1 submarine, 2 players, 4 stations (steering, weapons, scanner, smelter), 1 level. essential, this feels like a minimalist version of _Catastronauts_ that is also less exciting. You navigate the deep looking for keycards and scrap metal while fending off laser sharks, and when you enter the enemy base, it turns out they're in another castle, and the game ends. Mind you, the concept isn't that bad, and if the devs had put some effort into making a campaign and different enemies, it could be a lot better; but as it is, If you want to do couch co-op, I recommed springing for a better game that has more variety.

## Blink: Rogues


I won't hide that I am part of the development team. And as such, I am obviously biased. And also as such, I have already removed/fixed the great majority the things that I did not like about this game. The few that are still remaining, we have plans about those - for instance: adding a couple more maps, a couple more enemies, and a party mode (read that quick PvP local tournaments).



I love the new graphics, I love it when I hit with the rail, while moving, Blink to steal a MegaHealth from the opponent, masterfully flip in order to avoid a shotgun, get the frag, and then … I run into the first enemy and die.

### [Click here for the full review with more detail and pictures](https://www.nookgaming.com/blinkrogues-review/)



It’s time to play a shooting gallery in space – we are entering the world of Blink:Rogues, developed and distributed by Fox Dive Studio



To start with, I will be honest and say I was genuinely curious how a simple genre like the “shoot’em up” could be innovated further. Space Invaders (1978) started its popularity and since that time, some great games have come from it like Mushihimesama in 2011\. That said, I feel like many games in this genre feel like they are almost the same game, with some small differences and a new texture pack thrown over the top. Blink: Rogues, however, adds a new spice to the genre by mixing it up with some new mechanics, which we will go through in this review.
