Frank writes: "9 Monkeys of Shaolin isn’t a bad game. With a snappy combat system and a rewarding skill tree, cracking the skulls of evil pirates and wicked samurai is good fun for a short while. The problem is the game throws everything at you all at once, making the latter half of Wei Cheng’s journey a bit of a slog. By the time I’d wrapped up the first few chapters, I’d already seen virtually all of the enemies and environments it had to offer. Of course, multiple difficulty settings and the option to run through the main story with a friend adds some replay value. But I honestly find it hard to imagine all but the most die-hard fans of the beat-’em-up genre will take the time to revisit the game after the credits roll."
Game developer Sobaka Studio and publisher Buka Entertainment have announced that the second major update for video game 9 Monkeys of Shaolin is now available on Steam.
Neil writes: "The days are counting down, and with both Christmas and the New Year around the corner, the holiday season is in full swing. For many that will mean additional time with their loved one - their Xbox console - and so the latest Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 22nd-28th December 2020 is one that is looked upon with anticipation. That full Deals With Gold sale is here now too with the Countdown Sale continuing alongside it, so what will you be picking up and playing as we say goodbye, and good riddance, to 2020?"
