Shuyan Saga tries to offer story through a visible novel-style set-up whereas additionally bringing within the motion of real-time fight. There are two totally different fight programs right here.

Foolish Venarabbit! Venatrix is not for youths! I’d name this the “Resident Evil we have now at house”, however greater than something it appears to be the “Alone within the Darkish we have now at house”. Visually it appears respectable sufficient, and the 2 totally different characters having their very own tales helps add some further worth to the sport. Nonetheless, the earlier video games from this writer don’t fill me with a lot confidence that this recreation isn’t going to get dragged down by a bunch of annoying flaws.

Initially launched within the West again in 1992 below the title Shockman, that is truly the second recreation within the sequence. It follows Ratalaika’s launch of the primary recreation a number of months again, and there are lots of acquainted issues about it. The same wrapper, some artwork and guide scans, the standard shaders and such. You possibly can play the unique Japanese recreation, the previous Shockman localization, or a brand-new localization below the above title. This can be a significantly better recreation than the primary, and I think that will likely be mirrored in its rating after I evaluate it.

There are two Genesis/Mega Drive video games right here, the excellent horizontal shooter Gaiares and the also-great top-down multi-directional shooter Granada. There are additionally two TurboGrafx-CD video games right here, a pair of vertical shooters known as Avenger and Psychic Storm. In my view they’re respectable however not nice, and I feel we’re getting previous the novelty of seeing TurboGrafx video games showing in these units. Anyway, you’re mainly paying eleven bucks and alter per title right here, which I feel is a good deal in case you get pleasure from all 4 of them. This might be a greater deal, however it’s what it’s.
Taisho X Alice: Heads & Tails ($34.99)
Right here’s the inevitable fandisk for Taisho X Alice, doing the standard issues these fandisks do. Which is to say, you get to see alternate viewpoints, aspect tales, “what-ifs”, and so forth from the universe of the unique recreation.

I suppose the primary recreation did nicely sufficient to name for this sequel, which meant the citadel needed to be damaged once more.

A thief finally ends up with greater than he bargained for when the goal of his newest theft seems to be a witch. He’s despatched to a parallel world known as Whateverland, and his solely manner again house includes teaming up with an especially annoying ghost named Nick. A very good premise and the artwork type appears attention-grabbing, so fingers crossed it seems to get all the opposite bits proper.
Shuyan Saga ($14.99)
We’ve had video games attempting to recreate the sensation of martial arts epics going all the way in which again to the likes of Karateka, to various levels of success. Shuyan Saga tries to offer story through a visible novel-style set-up whereas additionally bringing within the motion of real-time fight. There are two totally different fight programs right here. One is for if you end up taking over crowds, whereas the opposite is for one-on-one fights. That’s lots of chunk to attempt to chew on, and opinions on how nicely this recreation manages it appear to fluctuate. Nicely, observe your coronary heart.
Venatrix ($14.99)
Foolish Venarabbit! Venatrix is not for youths! I’d name this the “Resident Evil we have now at house”, however greater than something it appears to be the “Alone within the Darkish we have now at house”. Visually it appears respectable sufficient, and the 2 totally different characters having their very own tales helps add some further worth to the sport. Nonetheless, the earlier video games from this writer don’t fill me with a lot confidence that this recreation isn’t going to get dragged down by a bunch of annoying flaws. That’s only a hunch, although. This would possibly transform an amazing recreation, for all I do know.
Cyber Citizen Shockman 2: A New Menace ($5.99)
Now right here’s a recreation TurboGrafx-16 house owners would possibly keep in mind fairly nicely. Initially launched within the West again in 1992 below the title Shockman, that is truly the second recreation within the sequence. It follows Ratalaika’s launch of the primary recreation a number of months again, and there are lots of acquainted issues about it. The same wrapper, some artwork and guide scans, the standard shaders and such. You possibly can play the unique Japanese recreation, the previous Shockman localization, or a brand-new localization below the above title. This can be a significantly better recreation than the primary, and I think that will likely be mirrored in its rating after I evaluate it.
Rainbow Excessive: Runway Rush ($39.99)

Select your favourite character, discover the places related to the model, and full some easy puzzles and/or mini-games.

Cry Infants Magic Tears: The Huge Sport ($39.99)
Wow, sure. We’re very near the bingo right here, with solely Microids lacking. Right here’s Merge Video games with a Cry Infants recreation, and it matches the standard template. Select your favourite character, discover the places related to the model, and full some easy puzzles and/or mini-games. I don’t know something about Cry Infants and I’m not going to faux that is geared toward a middle-aged man like me, so I’ll depart it right here and allow you to resolve if it’s best for you or yours.

There are two Genesis/Mega Drive video games right here, the excellent horizontal shooter Gaiares and the also-great top-down multi-directional shooter Granada. There are additionally two TurboGrafx-CD video games right here, a pair of vertical shooters known as Avenger and Psychic Storm. In my view they’re respectable however not nice, and I feel we’re getting previous the novelty of seeing TurboGrafx video games showing in these units. Anyway, you’re mainly paying eleven bucks and alter per title right here, which I feel is a good deal in case you get pleasure from all 4 of them. This might be a greater deal, however it’s what it’s.
Taisho X Alice: Heads & Tails ($34.99)
Right here’s the inevitable fandisk for Taisho X Alice, doing the standard issues these fandisks do. Which is to say, you get to see alternate viewpoints, aspect tales, “what-ifs”, and so forth from the universe of the unique recreation.
