The hardcore tactical shooters of the past appear to be once again on the rise in popularity with many mature gamers seeming to be yearning for something more intellectually challenging than your typical shooter in today’s Call of Duty dominated market. I am talking about past games series such as Rainbow Six, SWAT, Counter-Strike and SOCOM. Games that actually made you think before you decided to pull the trigger or storm a room full of bad guys.
Games Asylum: "Well, this is neat. As the name suggests, Wrath of the Mutants is the rarest of things – a genuine arcade conversion. With most modern arcade games being ticket redemption machines, this is something seldom seen. In fact, the last arcade conversion we can recall was Raw Thrill’s own Cruis’n’ Blast on Switch back in 2021. This is also based on an older iteration of TMNT, harking back to the series from 2012-2017. It’s essentially breaking franchise continuity (we’ve had two different iterations of the Turtles since) and could even be considered nostalgic for a select few – those who grew up with 2012’s Turtles are probably in their late teens."
Fuse ARPG, Soulslike, and cozy crafting mechanics for a one-of-a-kind adventure. Here is The Nerd Stash's early impressions of No Rest for the Wicked.
Starship Troopers: Extermination is continuing its early access period with a class system overhaul that will give players more options when it comes to pushing back the bugs.
It must be frustrating for these devs to see Helldivers 2 absolutely devour their lunch lol
-Oh my God, this game looks like a complete rip-off of Helldivers II!
-At least it gives Xbox players the chance to experience something similar to the PlayStation game!
Jokes aside it does make you wonder why Sony, who owns the IP for both, is continuing with two products when there is such overlap. Should it one day make a new Starship Troopers film or a Helldivers film instead?
H-Hour has some real potential, hopefully it lives up to it.
Cant wait for this, it NEEDS to get funded.
I kicked in some $ for H-Hour. This game is going to kick ass. People need to spread the word.
SOFstudios is on track to make an awesome game that is absolutely needed for next gen. It will be a welcome change from all the generic shooters out there these days. Now it just needs to be funded. Everyone get to that Kickstarter and show some support!
Socom will return to its former glory, Ill put my future PS4 on it.
