I've got a couple short reviews for you today, looking at NecroBouncer and the latest EGGCONSOLE release Golvellius. After that, we have two new releases to check out. We wrap things up in our usual fashion, with a look at the lists of the latest sales and expiring discounts for the day.
Let's get to it! Reviews & Mini-Views NecroBouncer ($13.99) I found myself teetering on the line of what score to assign this game, and ultimately I've decided to lean towards the positive side of that line. I'm doing so because after seriously questioning myself as to what didn't work for me with NecroBouncer, the biggest thing I could come up with is that I've played too many games like it before.
Not exactly the same, of course. This is the only one where I've played as an underworld bouncer, for starters. But broadly speaking this sort of top-down twin-stick attack-and-roll roguelite comes a dime a dozen on the Nintendo Switch, and NecroBouncer doesn't strike any meaningful new ground.
With that said, it doesn't do a whole lot wrong either. I think the attacks could use more oomph. I don't like bosses with lengthy invincible stages in their patterns, and this game loves them.
It takes a little longer than it ideally should to properly get cooking, but that's getting to be a genre-wide issue of late. Otherwise, it's fine. It plays well, the presentation is interesting, and once you start unlocking things it opens up really well.
You can have a really good time playing this game. NecroBounc.
