Nothing that stands out for me this week. I've already spent a fair bit on games lately so that's probably for the best.
"Skully" is perhaps the best of the games this week.
Arcade Archives Circus Charlie. You did not even post that it was launched.
Woh, finally another Kemco release! It's been while since we were blessed with the bi-monthly quality titles...
@Oppyz666 They only report using the press releases they get from Nintendo of Europe, which usually doesn't bother to mention the Arcade Archives releases anymore, which is disappointing.
But is it wrong to pick up girls in a dungeon? That is one of the greatest questions in life
The Phantom Shadow Beast Game of the Week is:
Frontline Zed
My review:
I collected weapons where I could and managed my time well. I decided to spend precious daylight hours repairing my defense instead of searching for other survivors to help me fight. The promise of rescue beckoned me - I had to survive long enough to make it. I proceeded to manage my time by day - searching for weapons and survivors at the expense of keeping my defenses repaired. But oh no - hordes of zombies were waiting for my flesh! And it turns out a wood wall wouldn't stop them! As a result, I had to defend my position against the horde by night with maximum attention (and I mean maximum). 3 stars.
Still feverishly waiting for the EU Catherine Demo..... Anybody know anything?
Can’t wait to download Circus Charlie
Absolutely nothing of interest
That tagline.
Mulder: Is it wrong?! Skully!
Scully: Yes.
Hand of fate 2 for me 😁
