Beast of Reincarnation has a lot going for it with its distinct game world, clever traversal abilities, and challenging combat that'll thoroughly test your ability to parry. With all of that in mind, I can't help but wonder... will we get a Koo plushie?

As one of my new favourite indies, I highly recommend Dodo Duckie to any chum who enjoys silly platforming goodness with fun twists.

Whether you're in it for its challenging co-op campaign or exciting party match-ups, there's a ton of top-notch fun to be had in Heave Ho 2.

Brave Escape is a super-enjoyable co-op game even when it's frustrating as it always manages to feel fair and keep things fresh throughout.

Carefully leaping up the super-tricky stages within Turnip Mountain provides a hearty challenge that's excellent fun in short bursts.

Blasting through the monsters that inhabit the roguelike mansion in Dead Estate is supremely enjoyable and you get a cool bonus game, too.

There's a lot to do in Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel and the mythological aesthetic is pitch-perfect for an arcade-like survival actionfest.

As a novelty retro experience, 70s-style Robot Anime Geppy-X offers some laughs but it's simply not that entertaining as a shoot 'em up.

Viral Reload EX can be an enjoyable shmup if you like the idea of mastering a series of bite-sized waves but it can also feel too fragmented.

With welcome enhancements, oodles of entertaining guest boss encounters, and incredibly fun core games, Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 1+2 Dual Collection is a must for any fan of 2D action.
