"I do yearn for the simple things in life sometimes.
One such flight of fancy, is a side-scrolling face-puncher that encapsulates all of my fondest memories of the genre old-timers such as River City Ransom, Double Dragon and Renegade while being brought bang-up-to-date with new features and all of the technical whizz-bang pokery of today.
I’m not asking for much am I? Well, in any event, Trigger City takes a shot at the fondly loved (at least among old folk anyway) genre and really isn't that game. Not even close."
Pocket Gamer: Despite its name, Trigger City contains very few guns. This is only one of the ways in which it's ridiculous.
There's also the cringeworthy noir-lite story about a man kicking and punching goons to death at night in a series of insalubrious locations. It would just about hang together if the sprites didn't all look like Lego figures.
Le ouch. Love some brawlers, but sad to see even the ones that try do poorly.
I know! There's not enough side scrollers as it is :(
