Stranger Things: The Game (Android, iOS) - Ramblin' Review

Image
I'm going to be honest. I obviously had not planned on reviewing this game today, since it's release was a complete surprise for seemingly everybody. So, I am striking while the iron is hot, and pushing my planned review back to tomorrow. 
I, like many others, loved the first season of Stranger Things, and I have been very excited about the upcoming release of season 2.  Netflix, in a genius marketing move to capitalize on the series' eighties setting and nostalgia vibe, has released a (free!!!) pixel art game on both Android and iOS formats. Other than the super conspicuous "Watch on Netflix" sticker plastered on the title screen, there are no other ads to be found, so you never get pulled away from the game experience. You're also greeted with a chip-tuned version of the Stranger Things theme music, which adds a great bit of atmosphere to the retro-inspired game.

Upon starting out, you are presented with two options- Normal Mode, and Classic Mode (more dif…

[Review] Battle Group 2 - Nintendo Switch

Every so often you run across a game unlike anything that you've ever played before. As a result, you aren't always quite sure what to think of that, and I'm still trying to scratch my noggin through this one for Battle Group 2.

While it bills itself as an arcade, action, strategy title, I'm not really picking up on the action or strategy portion of this game.

Where most shoot 'em ups have you flying through space, usually back forth, left and right, up and down, and occasionally some dodging and rolling to weave in and out of enemy flight and attack patterns while ground units hurl projectiles at you, Battle Group 2 puts you in the position of turret gunner on a naval ship while the computer propels you forward. As enemies fly on screen and into your sights, you swing a cursor around screen and fire at them to destroy them before they plink away at your…

[Review] The Princess Guide - Nintendo Switch

Image
The Princess Guide is a niche action role playing game where you take on hordes of baddies and train a princess up to be a powerful ruler. It takes some more traditional mechanics from the RPG genre, and borrows some others from the beat em up category. The Princess Guide (somewhat) introduces a scold/praise mechanic to aid in your grooming.


The Princess Guide dumps us into the game with a tutorial battle that also serves as the "last" battle for our protagonist, a great general. Such is this general's renown that bards have composed songs, books are written about, and children aspire to be him. While the last battle shows our general to still be capable, he is no longer in his prime, and he is relieved of duty so that he may retire with his life. Of course, being an old soldier that knows nothing else but battle, the decision is made to become a military counsel to up and coming rulers. There are four princesses warring over the land, and you will get the opportunity t…
