    And from comments online and on twitter, it's not a good port. Apparently a port of the mobile version

    They butchered Chrono Trigger on phones then slapped it onto the PC, just how they did it with some of their Final Fantasy titles.

    Yes I do. But I also remember when fps games in the 90's had actual level design and weren't just boring arena shooters.

    Into the Breach (FTL developers next game) is getting some good reviews. 9 from IGN.

    I get the impression from that video that it's just an example of one of the add-on modes, so I wouldn't write it off just yet.

    Haven't most modern shooters not just been corridor shooters for some time where you reach point x in a level to stop enemies respawning or trigger a cutscene.

    You also get a free copy of FTL if you buy Into The Breach on GOG or Humble (not sure about other stores).

    Speaking of boring arena shooters albeit with a more unique visual style this time...



    Not really sure what its chances are like on Kickstarter but at least the goal is reasonable. Kind of getting a Tower of Guns meets Devil Daggers vibe from it so it could be a neat little distraction at some point.

    Its pretty terrible tbh, I knew it wasn't going to be as good as FTL but I was kind of hoping for another Advance Wars or something like that but nah, its so dull and limited, unbelievably tiny maps, playing as the same 3 units every time, killing the same few enemies over and over (even the bosses are just existing enemies with a purple skin). It would be an interesting mobile strategy game (why arent there more of those?) but as the follow-up to FTL which imo is one of the greatest games of all time it completely fails on every level.

    Just realised now that I have a gaming PC I can finally play Hatred, the ultra violent shooter I wanted to play when I didn’t have a PC capable of running it.

    It’s €6.66 on steam, lol.

    You have access to an endless treasure trove of brilliant, inventive, strange, artful, entertaining, silly games on PC. And bloody Hatred is the one you’re going for? :pac:

    With titles like Assault Android Cactus, Nex Machina, RUINER, Helldivers, Enter the Gungeon, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, Nuclear Throne and Geometry Wars available, Hatred is the last bloody thing I'd want to look at if I wanted a twin stick shooter of any style or description. :o

    Play doom 1995 with mods if you want the best action & violence there is. Still nothing compares to that and your bloody wrist watch can run it @ 5 billion fps. Why is this news btw?

    Haha, I’ve already done the above and it’s just one of the games I wanted to play at the time but could not. I love twin stick shooters like Robotron 2048 and Smash TV so keen to give this a go.

    Must try out the other twin stick shooters you mentioned gizmo also, I’ve only tried Geometry Wars from the list.

    If you love twin stick shooters than I genuinely can't see you enjoying Hatred, Doge. It feels sluggish and imprecise with terribly tuned AI and repetitive combat, fairly major failings for a title in that genre imo.

    To narrow the other recommendations down a bit for you, if you love Robotron then Nex Machina should be your first stop. The developers, Housemarque, brought Eugene Jarvis, the creator of that classic, on board as a creative consultant and the end result is absolutely glorious. If you want something dark and gritty with a splash of some stylised violence then go for RUINER.

    And yea, mods feel free to punt this stuff in General Discussion. Doge just needed to be warned. :)

    Was there ever a version of Smash TV that was playable with analogue sticks?

    I am stoked. Feedback regarding the game at its current stage has been positive, but I'm unsure whether to buy it during Early Access.

    You can do it in Mame and it works well. I tried it before with a ps3 controller and my Android phone.
