Crawlco Block Knockers

Crawlco Block Knockers

Crawlco Block Knockers is an addictive action/puzzle title that draws inspiration from a rather unusual source. The whole thing looks and plays like a sleazy nineties arcade game, but it’s so much more than just a flimsy excuse to ogle a couple of lewd images. Not only is the game challenging, but it totally nails the audio and visual style of the era while still offering enough options to customize everything to your liking. If you are a fan of the genre, then CBK is more than worth the asking price.

Gameplay: Challenging, addictive and great fun.

Graphics: The visuals perfectly capture the weird and sleazy arcade era of the nineties.

Sound: Decent sound effects and a great soundtrack by OSC

Saya no Uta ~ The Song of Saya (2019)

Saya no Uta ~ The Song of Saya (2019)

The new remastered version of Saya no Uta ~ The Song of Saya updates this classic visual novel without messing with the things that have made it so popular. It is still as disturbing as ever, although Steam players will have to spring for the adult patch to get the whole experience. The original artwork looks great in high definition, and the new engine means it’s no longer a hassle to try to run the game on modern hardware. It’s also good to see that the already great translation has been polished even more. If you can handle disturbing content and enjoy the genre, then we cannot recommend Saya no Uta ~ The Song of Saya enough.

Gameplay: The game only features a few choices, but the story is so good you won’t mind.

Graphics: The visuals are still very disturbing, especially when played uncensored.

Sound: The soundtrack is excellent, and so is the voice acting

The Witch’s Love Diary

The Witch’s Love Diary

The Witch’s Love Diary is a unique visual novel that has plenty of stories to tell and a unique way of telling these stories. It offers quite a lengthy tale and the pace is somewhat on the slow side, but it is definitely worth the read. It also doesn’t skimp on routes for any of its characters, even the minor ones. Add to that beautiful visuals, along with a great soundtrack and you have yourself a visual novel that is worth investing some time in.

Gameplay: Not a lot of meaningful choices, but the story manages to remain captivating to the end.

Graphics: Beautiful character designs and detailed backgrounds.

Sound: Features a great soundtrack and top-notch voice acting

The fact that it features crossplay between Steam and Switch users is also quite neat.

Dreamscaper by Afterburner Studios

Dreamscaper by Afterburner Studios

Everyone who has ever dealt with depression will know what a battle it can be to overcome. This is the situation in which Cassidy, the protagonist of Dreamscaper, finds herself, except in her case it is somewhat more literal. Cassidy actually has the ability to dive into her subconscious and take on the surreal nightmares that she wrestles with. It’s a pretty unique premise for a game and one of the reasons why we suggest checking out the Kickstarter for Dreamcaper by Afterburner Studios. Dreamscaper is an upcoming ARPG Roguelite blend that promises to combine elements from brawlers as well as top-down shooters, and dungeon crawlers

Blazing Chrome

Blazing Chrome

Blazing Chrome is a great run-and-gun shooter that draws inspiration from Contra Hard Corps and other 16-bit classics. It is an unforgiving game but a lot of fun to play, and the developers have done an incredible job of capturing the look, sounds, and feel of the 16-bit era. While it only features six levels, they are all packed with enemies and bosses. After completing the game, you’ll unlock some extra challenges and characters to increase the replay value. While it’s a pity that Blazing Chrome lacks an online co-op, the local co-op is definitely a highlight.

Gameplay: The game is challenging but enjoyable once mastered.

Graphics: The 16-bit pixel art looks great.

Sound: The audio sounds like something right out of the 16-bit era
