Matt S’ pick (Editor, DigitallyDownloaded): Having not played The House in Fata Morgana before, I’m looking forward to that on Nintendo Switch this week. This particular game seems to feature a bunch of backgrounds with fully bloomed cherry trees, and with spring upon us I can’t think of better timing than to try this one out. Is it because of the glasses? Have I watched way too much Japanese animation to accept this trope as canon? The game comes fully voiced save for the main character, so that fact is fairly reassuring as a VN fan that you should be treated to a fairly high-quality product. At first glance it does not seem that this one may be as fan-servicey as some other VNs I have seen debut on Steam, but instead it feels like there is ever so slightly a bit more class and sophistication involved as you attempt to trigger the correct flags with each of the characters’ routes. True to its name, this VN gal game features just that. “Opposed to space violence?” I ask while lifting my glasses to the bridge of my nose, revealing a blinding glare off my lenses. Seeing that many things being sprayed at you at once is unnerving, but much like real life, you kind of learn to navigate your problems as you are going through them. The levels and enemies seem pretty gruesome when it comes to the sheer amount of bullets on screen, so if you are a masochistic gamer then this is your game. I just like difficult games, especially when the developers come right out and say that it’s hard. Super Retro Fighter has my interest this week because I feel like it looks like a really polished and difficult STG. That’s what makes these games so fun though, is that there is some memorization required in order to do slightly better each time in order to progress. STGs that spawn enemies from behind at exactly halfway on the screen are pure evil. I recall mentioning one of my favorite STGs Truxton in the past here in my picks here, and if I remember correctly I was using that game’s name in vain. Ryan’s Pick: STGs and I share a long and tumultuous relationship that dates back to the Sega Genesis era. I do wish there was a josei version for equal-opportunity ogling, though.
It’s got a combo and scoring system, so it’s definitely one of the better solitaire-style mahjong efforts out there. Now, title matching is accompanied by models that range from voluptuous moms, office ladies, and pop idols, who all live up to the assertion made by the title. But pick up Pretty Girls Mahjong Solitaire and you won’t face that issue. Back then, it was hard to read the titles given the resolution of the Commodore 64. I’ve been playing solitaire-style mahjong since Activision (!) released Shanghai in the late eighties. Most importantly, Jackson really nailed the sense of balance, with everything from different characters, loot drops, to enemy respawns feeling just right.Īdditionally, I have to acknowledge Delicious! Pretty Girls Mahjong Solitaire. In theory, it’s not far removed from a Metroidvania, except the action shifts from platforming to a vast subaquatic map. Innovation arrives with the injection of exploration, as well as a myriad of different weapons and ship augmentations to collect. Yes, there’s still the Defender-like play where you’ll gun down screens of hostile foes. This week’s release of Astro Aqua Kitty builds a massive structure on the foundations of the original Aqua Kitty. These are the games I find myself habitually returning to when I don’t have the time to revisit a 40-hour RPG. Rob’s Pick: From Aqua Kitty: Milk Mine Defender, Iron Crypticle to Rock Boshers DX, Tikipod’s Dugan Jackson has consistently created some of the best retro-style experiences around.
