Earth Wars Review | SwitchPlayer

Liam Langan from SwitchPlayer writes, "Sometimes you’ll buy a game and you’ll be utterly taken back by the fact it’s not what you were expecting, at all. This is the feeling I got when I first fired up Earth Wars, where I was expecting a standard Metal Slug style side-scrolling shooter but the end product was much different. Earth Wars originally launched on other platforms back in 2016 but under a different name and has been self published by Japanese indie developer One or Eight (information on whom seems to be quite scarce online) and is a side-scrolling hack ‘n’ slash game quite similar to games like Muramasa: The Demon Blade or Dragon’s Crown. However, instead of being set in a fantasy setting, this time we’re in a post-apocalyptic Sci-Fi setting."
