The Last Cadet

The Last Cadet

A mission gone wrong, an ancient monster awaken!

A private military company is hired to escort a laboratory team in a submarine to recover a valuable specimen near an abandoned deep sea facility. As the laboratory team and part of the military personnel explore the target site, things go wrong almost immediately. An ancient monster attacks the submarine and sinks it, ruining the submarine’s communication links. A mere cadet, John “Flash Pan” Pinback is the team’s last hope at survival as the only escape route is a mini-sub that’s in bad need of replacement parts, which Flash Pan can find and fix. Meanwhile, Captain Valeria Buenrostro must search the submarine and target site to save her squad members while dealing with constant sabotage from an unknown source.

Twin-stick action-driven survival horror in a 1-bit, deep sea metroidvania!

Play the individual stories of Flash Pan and Captain Buenrostro to discover the truth behind the ill-fated mission and unravel the not so abandoned deep sea facility, all the while surviving the wrath of an ancient monster and a submarine filled with mutated versions of electric eels, jellyfish, and sharks.

Make the most of available resources and dive into an array of weapons with unique ways to use them!

Light is scarce with the only sources being the few working lamps, resident bioluminescent marine life, and the deep sea suit. Use twin stick controls to survive the horrors that are drifting in the darkness with multiple weapons, some of which can be used in unique ways like dashing with the harpoon gun, high jumping with the shotgun’s recoil, and busting open stuck doors with a flamethrower-like welding kit.

Play with a friend and sink together into a world 20,000 pixels below normalcy …

Couch co-op experience with multiple modes as Flash Pan and Captain Buenrostro. Take on waves of enemies coming at you at full strength or complete missions together from clearing enemies from specific areas to scavenger hunts.

Unlock achievements!

Use specific weapons, complete side quests, and more! Switch on the speed run timer and go for the speed run-based achievements.

Tunguska: The Visitation

Tunguska: The Visitation

This game is very hard, but in a strategic way. It requires no aiming skill or reflex, and you have plenty of time thinking about what to do to solve each combat scenario. Sometimes it’s more straight forward, and other times you have to die a few times to figure out the right way. It’s all about attention to details - some enemies wear armors, for example, and you can tell it from their appearance. But if you ignore that intel and just start shooting without the right kind of ammo, you’ll just be waiting ammo. There is a lot of details in the dialogues and journals, and you must pay pretty close attention to not miss important information.

6 hours in, and I really like this game. I first heard about it a couple of years ago on a Stalker forum, and my first impression from the previews was good. Now that I’ve had a chance to play the game, that first impression has been reinforced. Tunguska’s setting is moody and atmospheric. The gunplay and stealth are straightforward but challenging, and the overall result is a fun top-down twin-stick “shooter.” Quotes because there’s more to this than running and gunning – there are some light RPG elements, and a heavy element of exploration.

Shadow Walls

Shadow Walls

A good indie game. It is not really a horror game but an action game. There is an atmosphere of suspense through sound, but the theme is action. The difficulty is well balanced, which is very rare in the indie scene. Today, I arrived in the last phase, I believe there was a short time to finish, but it is not easy. There is a good progression of the difficulty that increases gradually and peaks in the last phase, of course. My only criticism is the flashlight, which in fact is useless, just decoration. The developer has a style that can be recognized in other works and knows how to do a good level design, this is very good. And finally, the game has an originality, something also difficult to achieve today with so many titles. Congratulations.

Enemy Remains

Enemy Remains

Yelp Rating: 4/5

Graphics: When starting off in the first level, you are greeted with a wonderful, yet gore-filled map with calm, yet unsettling tones. When making your way through the maps, you will be greeted with much more colors that really bring the eerie feeling of the game. As you adventure throughout the map, you will come across other gore scenes, such as animal intestines and mobs.

Gameplay: The concept behind the game is simple. Shooter game, figuring what the hell happened, defeating hostile mobs, along with bosses, which vary if difficulty as you progress. You come across crates filled with loot, traps, explosives, and much more! There are a variety of weapons to use, especially figuring out the best combo for bosses and mob gang-ups.

Enemy remains is your classic top down shooter with various power-ups and weapons found through the game to use at your disposal. It has various traps and enemies which can have extremely variations of attack. The bosses are challenging but not super difficult where it makes you want to quit the game. The mechanical machine you ride in could use some type of attack or two but man can it run stuff over! If you like making monsters suffer this is your game! I have yet to try the multiplayer aspect so this review will be edited.

Marionette lab

A third-person action game with a fixed camera and elements of survival horror.

Classic gameplay elements: limited inventory, lack of ammo, locked doors, endless chest, etc. The game has a fixed camera, but the controls are like in a top-down / twin-stick shooter.

Explore the underground complex and find a way to the surface.

Last Ops

Last Ops

Reload your gun, turn on the flashlight and explore the darkest corners of an abandoned research station. Last Ops is a dark twin stick shooter with survival horror elements, framed in stylized low poly graphics. Upgrade your character, get new weapons, use different vehicles and uncover the mystery.

As the only survivor of the special rescue team, you have to explore an abandoned military research station. Visit various dark locations, meet other characters involved in the intrigue, find clues that will help you solve vaious puzzles and most importantly - survive.

Many of your choices will have the impact on later events. It is only up to you which path you will choose and how the game will end. If you don’t feel strong enough to face a powerful boss, you can try to avoid him or just run away. However, it is possible that you will meet him again in more or less desirable conditions.

After every fight sit down for a moment, refill ammunition and be ready (rummage in the backpack does not pause the game and your pouches have a limited capacity for ‘ready to use’ items). You never know when your enemies will attack. There is nothing worse than an empty magazine and a freak of nature pressing you to the ground with its teeth, right?

Upgrade your character by increasing his damage endurance and backpack capacity. As you progress through the game, you will be able to craft advanced items and build new weapons that will make your journey easier.

You will find many different vehicles on your way. Some of them will be ready to go. To activate others you will have to move your head. Thanks to them you will be able to reach previously unattainable places or turn to dust anyone who stands in your way. Believe me, it won’t be a walk in the park.

Demons Ate My Neighbors!

Heartless Dark

I can recommend this if you enjoy some atmosphere and an interesting challenge.

If you get over the initial learning curve the game has a lot of that ‘one more game’ feeling.

The dark and restricted vision can make it tough to navigate.

Once you get used to it then the challenge becomes not running out of ammo.

Once you get used to that the challenge becomes figuring out how to fight the monsters in interesting ways using the game systems (maybe kiting them through acid or stunning them with an exploding fire extinguisher).

A very atmospheric and lethal rogue like. You have to budget your limited ammo and life against enemies that hit hard and fast but I’ve never lost a like a run thinking there was nothing I could do about it. Finding bullets and upgrades is always rewarding.

Exciting and fun

Beautiful scenery and visual art. I played for a long time right the first time.

You can play for a long time without getting tired because the game changes all the time. the enemies are all over the map and each new corner is a surprise.

The game works well and is wonderful to have games like this online.

Some monsters are silly and others are aggressive leaving everything more fun.

The art is very well made and the colors please me a lot.

I recommend the game to anyone who wants to have fun and enjoy a good pixel art.

Do not buy this game. It has about 6 gun in total and is very buggy, sometimes the levels are broken and don’t end, other times the portal spawns in an non-accessible location. The game has about 3 different level themes and loops them over and over with no increase in difficulty. There is practically no progression system in this game. The multiplayer is also very buggy, but made for a so bad its good type of thing, kind of, but I also feel like that was just me making the best of buying a horrible game.

Not broken, but has a long way to go to become something that sustains my attention for more than a few minutes of gameplay. At $10, I just can’t recommend it at this time.
