@Anti-Matter I'd like to see ELBOWS. Think of the range of tasteful and fabulous elbow patches one could accessories with! Then CRUNCH! right in the cranium with a silken wing!
...Although I can definitely see milage with FINGERS - Finger blast power! errrrmm maybe not.
@YANDMAN I'm happy for you, man. Truly. Only, I consumed it and found it a bitter pill to swallow, because I haven't got money to sling about on stuff with such little mileage. just opinions.
@JayJ There are, so, so, so many and as ever so many are not worth the pixelated blood, sweat and tears you'll gush into them, but this one. Oh man, this one is extremely tight. Tighter than my bosses wallet. Tighter than a bat's nostril even! Wowwy!
Up there with the best if you ask me, which you didn't! But there it is, my opinion, just sitting there...........look at it...........buy the game............feel the twitchy magic........
@NEStalgia Haha! Nice! Yeah, DOA got them puppies covered - But not by much! Also, I can't see anyone putting up much of a fight - you could literally smack my moustache clean off with a pair of jumper-cookies and I wouldn't even get mad. BOOBALITY!
@sfb I'm with you completely - you've got ten years on me, but my love of games such as Shovel Knight, and Kidd Tripp, and other modern takes on the classic platform genre, are solely down to my experiences with zx spectrum gems like Manic Miner and Technician Ted (hence my avatar), but there are some titles that are just plain lazy and uninspired - more of a sagging rehash than an ode to - and so here we are with this: Tempest's sickly, mutant, great-grandchild.
@rjejr Good points. Also, I wanna see LEGS, right now! hmmm what other body parts would be good for coshing each other around the neck and lugholes with?
Man Nintendo are cold! they're doing their best to bury the stink of the WiiU, and now they're chucking Arms out in the rain after 6 months. Them's some short-lived enterprises, fellas. I'm sure Labo will be solid though..............
These are solid ports, but for me, I could do with promotional material galleries, better backgrounds, a music gallery and just a general interface spruce for the price.
Fair play to them for bringing (some) of these old "classics" back for modern audiences, and especially for filling the gap while Nintendo sits off faffing about with the easily implementable virtual console....but I hear RetroPie is pretty good at this kind of stuff too........so i'm told.
Geometry Wars has a lot to answer for with this modern day twin-stick asteroids jiggery-pokery.
Is it just that this type of game is easy to produce, and thus make a quick buck off of, or is there actually a big demand for derivative, Day-Glo, techno-pumping, bullet-hell, cack? Inquiring minds want to know.
@YANDMAN Agenda? You bet ya. WiiU is an embarrassment for Nintendo, a disgraceful slap in the face for the consumer, and a horrible waste of resources at a time when we really need to be pumping out less cr@p for profit. Then here we have Nintendo Life, hungrily vacuuming up the crumbs that fall from the table's of big boys in Japan, nodding along with their corporate overlords by trying to sweep it all under the rug. Sad, but that's the corpulent, cynical, beast that is big business for you.
Fair review/score IMO. The puzzle mechanics are definitely restrictive, but decent enough, the shop needs an overhaul and the enemies should not be recycled after level five. I wanted to see more weirdness. The whole reptition loop with the bad guys and backdrops really kills the randomness the game is infused with.
On the upside, it's addictive, bonkers and chock-full of mental weapons. I also personally dig the stoner-style graffiti scribbles and animation.

@Dang69
You could be onto something there. At very least I reckon there's a fair chunk of reused code from ARMS nestled in the accompanying software.

This is an abomination, and possibly one of the thirteen accursed signals of the apocalypse. The form of the destructor has been chosen!
