Wonder Boy: Asha In Monster World | PS4 (2.0)

ININ Games/STUDIOARTDINK, the publishers behind this and other retro remakes, usually do very well with their cutesy takes on said games. I particularly enjoyed their new addition to the Bubble Bobble series though the formula was completely different from previous entries. Going into this review I expected something different yet something that adhered to series tradition. For the most part that's what I experienced. In this rendition of Monster World IV, Asha once again hails as the game's protagonist and resident heroine. Done up in a newly animated and cell shaded fashion alongside every detail of her world she goes forth into the fray not only as a rite if passage, but to conquer the evil that is unleashing monsters upon unsuspecting villagers. Sword, and shield in hand she sets forth on her adventure collecting the tools, and knowledge she needs to best the beasties that lie ahead.

R-Type Final 2 | PS4 Review (ver 2.0)

NISA's kickstarted entry into the R-Type universe is a bold, beautiful, and brutal experience. Heightened by gorgeous graphics, a symphonic soundtrack, and decent customization options it gives the gamer, and backers their money's worth and then some. Offering little introduction beyond the cliche human fight for survival against an invasive alien menace R-Type Final 2 rockets the player right into the midst of an intergalactic war filled with organic, and metallic monstrosities known as Bydo. Piloting a special trans-dimensional ship with signature support features, and weapons the player must meet the aliens on their outer space battlefields in a several stage encounter that will not only test the most skilled among them, but do so in a one and done fashion. Meaning that death comes swiftly, and a single bullet or hazard can end a clean run, easily. 

Rising Hell | PS4 Review

Lucifer. We all know the story of his fall. How he fought against Heaven's army, and fell alongside his fellow angels who had similar aspirations. Well, enter "Rising Hell". A new take on that biblical account. One where Lucifer is trapped inside a tower of a tree's root for punishment sake awaiting rescue from the fallen who are also imprisoned with him. In this telling of the age old tale you take on the role of Arok, a sinner, and two other hell bound characters with imbued powers. Guiding them to the top of the root prison from the bottom up as you face off against the gatekeeper Mephisto's minions, and the bosses that lie in wait. All for a chance at escape. Amassing power per collected souls as you ascend making you more prepared for the increasingly difficult challenges ahead. 

NonGunz: Doppleganger Edition | PS4 Review

Cryptic, and challenging is the Digerati published NonGunz: Doppleganger Edition. This indie with an underlying message, and vaguely explained mechanics drops the player head first into a world of skeletons, living body parts, and guns. The objective to it all being for the player to best four bosses, gather their numbers, and unlock a case from an outside of the game secondary perspective using those said numbers. Effectively making for a game within a game type of experience with roguelike elements at play. The grind is heavy, and the foes formidable. Even more daunting, and haunting is what lies in wait at the end of it all should you make it to the end credits.
