Steam Next Fest, October 2021

Here’s a few sentences on the demos I’ve played thus far. We’ll see if I get to more...

A=B: Of the genre of 'Esolang programming games' (of which there are many), this might be one of the easiest to get into. However, nearly all the fun is going to come out of weird tricks you can pull off with the new instructions added in each section, which kinda defeats the premise. That being said, I was pleasantly surprised at how clever the game let me be with the the base 'one instruction'. It's not really programming, it's pattern matching and replacing (that being said, folks are starting to work out that well implemented pattern matching is one of the most powerful tools a programming language can have), and a condition that if a rule matches, the instructions start over, rather than continue. I wonder if there's any real world langs that behave like this, but support regex patterns (including capture groups), it might actually be a neat way of building things like custom file renaming rules... Games like this always feel like I'm doing work while not at work, but the simplicity of the base instruction makes this feel more like a puzzle game than something like TIS-100 or Shenzen IO, so provided the extra instructions don't make it feel more like programming (avoid adding branching, don't let me loop beyond the base loop, etc.), I'll probably enjoy this. Verdict: interesting, I'll probably buy it if it's cheap.

Galaxy's Extreme: This is another "Nintendo won't make a new F-Zero game so we'll do it ourselves", and it's... fine. Momentum feels good, and the controls feel good, it's just, too simplistic. I really feel like a spiritual successor to F-Zero needs the strafe and slide turning of GX (or some equivalent), without absurd goofy snaking, it's just, not the same, let alone an escalation of the style. You also only seem to leave the ground and prescribed points, rather than behaving like a hover craft, which doesn't quite feel right. Verdict: I'll probably pass on this one, if it gets rave reviews on release, and has online multiplayer, I could see grabbing it to play casually with friends.

Rayze: There's a good idea here, this isn't a good implementation of it. Momentum feels weird, and the game doesn't use raw mouse input, for some reason. An 'Aim racer' feels like a good idea, but this is more of a puzzle game where you're trying to work out how the level designer wants you to click things. Verdict: pass, absolutely not for me.

Dread Delusion: Open world immersive sim, focused on being weird. Seems alright, demo is a little too limited to tell, and I allocated my stats wrong to be able to see all of it (you seem to need high Lore to get to a few areas), but I enjoyed what was here, and will probably pick it up as just a weird thing to explore. Verdict: neat, be interested to see how the full version is.

Titanium Hound: This one looked cool, but it's really not good. Sounds in the menus are ear piercing, control scheme makes no sense on either the keyboard or controller. None of the attacks feel like they have impact. Controls are floaty and weird, like everything is on ice. Enemy sounds are muted, music is boring. Verdict: Really disappointed in this one, hard pass.

Transiruby: C...Cute... This seems like a fun light hearted metroidvania. Dialogue is witty, Siruby and pals are cute. Music is charming. Controls are tight. Graphics lean a little to simple for my tastes, but otherwise no complaints. Verdict: I'll probably buy this, seems like a good coping game for me.

Gastova: The Witches of Arkana: Meh. Some of the cutscene and character detail art is cute. Writing feels like it has a good premise, but could use an editor to punch up the jokes and quips a bit, since they don't quite land. It's almost like English isn't the writers first language, they have a good grasp of how to put words together so they're coherent, but they're not great at pacing dialogue so it feels natural. Gameplay is, bland? This feels aggressively like a 3rd party SNES platformer, like a Super Adventure Island or something. This is in all respects. It eats inputs randomly, attacks have no impact, enemies take too many hits, basic platoforming requires you stand on the very edge of the platforms, etc. I'm sure there are people who will get a kick out of this, but it's not for me. Verdict: pass.

Ex-Zodiac: It's a Starfox clone! Kinda halfway between SNES and 64. It's pretty good, not really doing anything original, but it plays well. Only weird issue I noticed is that enemies behind you can shoot at you, and there's not really a way to avoid it. Other than that my main complaint is the camera feels a little tight, definitely more like Starfox SNES, and it's a bit annoying. Verdict: I'll wishlist it, purchase is going to depend on the length and price of the full game.

Exo One: Interesting, likely not for me. I dig the movement scheme, though certain aspects of it suffer from the minimal UI/HUD. Manoeuvring through big wide open Unity terrain maps is not really compelling to me, I think I'd really like this if it was a more concentrated experience. Verdict: Pass, but I'll keep an eye on it.

POSTAL Brain Damaged: Hell yeah, this seems good. Think I like it more than Postal 4, at least in its current state. Writing is very Postal, except weirdly more subtle than usual? Dunno, this I like it more than Postal's usual crassness. Weapons are all versatile and cool (in the demo the rocket launcher weirdly feels the worst), and level design and aesthetics are on point. Didn't finish the demo cause I'd kinda rather play this on release, but really liked what I played. Verdict: Wishlisted, to pick up next time I'm in the mood for a boomer shooter.

Hypnagogia: Boundless Dreams: I was expecting something different. This seems to be a mostly linear 1st person platformer set in a childish dreamscape. It's fine for what it is, but at least as a demo, it didn't grab me. I think Anodyne 2 did this aesthetic better, this kinda feels like someone looked at Spyro the Dragon, and decided that's what dreams looked like. Maybe it gets weirder later, but I'm not sure I want to wait around to find out. Verdict: Pass for now, but I'll check the reviews when it comes out.

Cleo: A Pirate's Tale: It's alright, for a one person game, it seems pretty dang good. But, I don't think I'll play it. Everything about it is just a little off. Writing isn't quite funny, voice acting has weird intonation and direction, controls don't quite work intuitively, art style feels a touch unrealized, etc. Definitely give this one a try, especially if you liked old LucasArts games, you might love this, but I didn't. Verdict: Pass, but I have a few friends I'll probably recommend this to.

Hunt the Night: There's a good (potentially great) game here, but it leans just a little too into being difficult/punishing for my taste. You can animation cancel into a dash, except when there's hit stun from contacting an enemy with your sword, so you can't dodge ranged attacks while you're engaged in melee? Sometimes enemies are hit stunned by your attacks, sometimes the same enemies can attack through your hits? There's no stamina bar, but there's like 4 different meters to manage, and they work pretty well at forcing you to use all the options available to you. The weapons I found seemed to only differ in attack speed, melee combos did not change meaningfully, which is disappointing, but I didn't experiment much. Otherwise, for a 'bloodborne but as top-down zelda' it seems pretty great. Story seems interesting enough, if predictable, gameplay has a lot of good ideas, but it maybe needs another round of polish. A range indicator on the dash, and a solid explanation of if I'm suppose to be using it to dodge (and when I can cancel into a dodge and when I can't), along with a clear timer on how long I need to hold the heal button, would go a long way into making the game feel more fair. Verdict: On wishlist for now, because the trailer makes it look really fun, but I'll likely take a look at the reviews on release.

Anuchard: I swear I've seen this main character design before, I think they were a cameo design in CrossCode? Oh wow is English not the writer's first language, grammar issues all over the place. Thankfully, not so bad as to be incomprehensible, but I really hope they get an editor fluent in English before release. Gameplay wise, this seems a little too simple? Combat is satisfying, but you can stun lock the boss? And while the shield/heavy attack system seems like a good idea, it doesn't add much depth. Puzzle solving by bouncing the gems around feels bad. You can't aim in more than the 8 cardinal directions, and even that's inconsistent, and hit detection requires you to be really precise. Art is cute, writing seems like it has potential, if it gets a good proof read, music was interesting to good. Verdict: I think I'll pass, but I'll look into it after release.

Marmoreal: Can you tell this game wanted to be a Touhou fangame, but the art was worse than even ZUNs so they couldn't get the license? Joking aside, ignoring every art asset in this game (except the animation, but we'll get to that), this game is great. Gameplay feels really good, though I feel I need to re-map the abilities buttons a bit, I kept hitting them at inopportune times. And, the animation in cutscenes, along with the writing, make this a stupid ridiculous romp that nearly had me falling off my chair in laughter. This game knows exactly what it is, and I'm here for it. Verdict: Wishlisted, and I'll probably play more of the demo, since it's pretty substantial.

Transmute: A very clearly inspired by Axiom Verge (and maybe Environmental Station Alpha) metroidvania. My biggest complaint is the writing falls flat. Crazy shit is happening to and around the protag, and she hardly reacts (the writing puts more emphasis on her being 'anti-colonialist' than it does on the fact that she'd been in stasis for several years). Game plays well, though not being able to shoot at an angle, or downwards feels weird. Has an augment and retrieval system like Hollow Knight. the augment system even let me combine 2 things I didn't think it would allow me to. Difficulty spikes up after the 2nd boss, so I peaked my head into the 2 areas that open up, but wasn't really interested in banging my head against them when I know I'll have to start over when the game comes out. Verdict: Seems pretty well put together for a metroidvania, I'll wishlist it.

Tunic: This seems so close to brilliance, but it's just not there. The game looks adorable, but here's the issue: There's a massive amount of latency to the controls, you constantly feel like you're manoeuvring through muck. Even the most basic enemy can react to you faster than you can to it, enemies do a lot of damage, healing is very limited, and it has retrieval mechanics on death. This game feels really difficult for no reason. It's clearly trying to look like zelda, why does it play like a wannabe took-all-the-wrong-lessons-from-dark-souls game? If this game played closer to a 2d zelda game, it'd be a lot of fun, but as it plays right now, I have no interest. Verdict: Pass.

Canabalt

This endless runner game, initially popularized on Flash before being introduced on iOS, is well-known for its perfectly-tuned gameplay. Do you try to survive when the game accelerates to high speeds, increasing the possibility that an ill-placed window or a sudden obstacle dooms you to fail?

Or, do you slow it down by cleverly utilizing the boxes in your path? The tradeoff requires more than reflexes, but strategic brainpower too.

The Blocks Comet

While playing Tetris, have you ever imagined you were jumping over the blocks that constantly descended down, down, down? Well, that’s what this game is!

Whale Trail

This is one of the most pleasant endless runner games around. The music and graphics create a happy and charming world. The game is easy to play: Just hold down on the screen to fly upward and loop-de-loop.

Thousand Heroes

Formerly entitled 1000 Heroz, this running game presents a new challenge each day: courses fraught with new perils and new leaderboards to conquer. Part of the fun is the ability to join custom leagues and compete with friends.

Die with glory

Help a viking to go to his forefather to Valhalla. Travel across incredible locations together with a flying skull. Fight against monsters, destroy fortresses, make friends. Interact with surrounding objects and don’t let the hero die.

Lanota

Start an exciting adventure across a magic world together with two courageous heroes. Explore local territories and find a rare magic element thanks to which you can recover the planet after natural disasters. Bring bright colors to dull locations.

Dragon’s Lair

Dragon’s Lair was another huge hit at the arcade. For its time, it had stunning graphics, and the embedded humor in the game made it a blast to play. But what really kept kids like me pouring quarters into it was the addicting difficulty of the game.

Like most games of that era, it was built around seeing how far you could get and how long you could play, but unlike games that racked up a score, Dragon’s Lair pushed you along because you wanted to see what would happen next.

The only downside of this HD version is the $4.99 price tag, which is a little steep for any classic arcade game ported to the iPad.

Street Fighter II Collection

When I was a kid, people lined up to play Karate Champ. It was the first fighting game to feature martial arts, and it was always a popular game. But it was Street Fighter that really set the mold for all fighting games to come and paved the way for classics like Mortal Kombat.

This collection includes the original Street Fighter II, the Champion Edition and Hyper Fighting, which is Champion Edition on steroids.

Double Dragon Trilogy

Talk about a blast from the past! Double Dragon did a double whammy on arcades in the 80s. Not only did it take the side-scroller to the next level, it revolutionized the idea of co-op game play.

Mostly, you had a choice between playing a fighting game or similar player-vs-player game or taking turns trying to hit the high score in Donkey Kong, but with Double Dragon, you got to team up with your best friend and beat the crap out of people.

Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3

Mortal Kombat is a game that needs no introduction. There are few games that have become so popular and are so recognizable. But despite its popularity in the arcades, the original port of this game to the iPad wouldn’t make it on this list.

It was a tad overpriced and had too many glitches, especially with unwieldy controls. In some games, you can work around bad controls, but in a game like Mortal Kombat, that’s impossible. Luckily, EA has patched it since its release, with the latest patches fixing a lot of the initial problems.

They’ve also reduced the price, making this one a good download for any fan of the series.

Midway Arcade

The Midway Arcade is the only arcade developer collection with a price tag, but you do get a nice selection of games for the $1.99. The price tag includes Spy Hunter, Rampage, Joust and Defender among several others.

You can also download some game packs, including a fantasy game pack that includes Gauntlet, Gauntlet II and Wizard of Wor. These were all favorites at the arcade, and with the game packs only costing $.99, they are a good deal.

The Namco Arcade

The Namco Arcade contains classics like PAC-MAN, Galaga and Xevious. The game features two ways to play: buy the game machine to play all you like or buy coins. Unfortunately, you only get 10 coins for a dollar, so that quickly becomes too expensive.

And the game machines are usually $2.99 , so of all the game collections, this one is the most expensive. Still, with the full-fledged Galaga game no longer working with iOS 7, this is the only way to play this particular classic.

Most of the games on this list support the iCade.

Activision Anthology

I’ve listed Activision Anthology last not because it is the worse app on this list, but because it really doesn’t meet the ‘arcade’ criteria. The Activision compilation is of games for the Atari 2600, which is close enough that I include it here.

Certainly, anyone interested in reliving their arcade past will get a kick out of getting some 2600 games as well. The anthology includes Kaboom! for free and has other activision classics like Decathlon, River Raid and (of course) Pitfall. You can buy game packs for $2.99 or the entire collection for $6.99.

Activision Anthology is compatible with iCade.

Growing up in the 80s, I have fond memories of dimly lit arcades, incessantly feeding quarters with reckless abandon. When you took control of a machine, you would line up your quarters, letting others know you’d be there a while.

I must have dropped hundreds of dollars over the course of a few years, all worth it. Nothing can bring back the excitement of first playing Space Invaders, my absolute first experience with an arcade game, but you can relive those moments on the iPhone. There are others, but these are the best 8 classic arcade games from the 80s for iPhone.

SPACE INVADERS

Originally manufactured by Taito and picked up in the U.S. by Midway, Space Invaders was basic, yet incredibly addictive. As you lay waste to the invading aliens, they would increase their march, reinforced by the game sounds and your heartbeat.

And when that spaceship would fly across the top, you’d forget about any strategy, as you sent as a stream of bullets trying to blow the mystery ship out of the sky. Now you can strap yourself to the laser cannons and fight this battle again, this time on your iPhone.

PACMAN

No one ever admits to liking PacMan in the same way they don’t admit to wearing parachute pants. Admit it friend, you did both and loved it. Chomp on those pellits, grab fruit where you can eat those ghosts while they are weak.

POLE POSITION REMIX

Prepare to qualify! How many times have you heard that echo into the corridors of the mall? In a remixed version of Pole Position, you race to glory using the tilt wheel controls of your iPhone.

Bring yourself back to 1983 with the game that set records for being the most-successful game of that year. Crank up Down Under from Men at Work and race to the winner’s circle.

FROGGER

Want to feel old? Frogger just celebrated its 29th brirthday. Still, after all these years, this frog hasn’t learned that busy streets might not be the best thing for an amphibian.

You can choose from the classics or opt for new modes that include turbo, night time inferno (in-app purchase required). Feel up to the task of navigating your frog past cars and trucks.

GALAGA

You are just one space ship, fighting a legion of ships. As you do battle, they send kamakaze fighters down forcing you to go one on one. Galaga sprung onto the arcade scene in 1981, developed by Namco.

Despite making it to the list, I cannot recommend buying this one, at least not yet. While it checks most of the boxes (awesome, retro, awesome), the developers have yet to update it for iOS 7.

So if you are rolling with a retro iPhone circa iOS 6, then go get yourself some Galaga. If not, just add this one to your wishlist and hope the developer gets on the ball. Despite this major oversight, Galaga was simply too important of a game to not make this list.

Atari’s Greatest Hits

Atari’s Greatest Hits features a collection of some of their best classics, like Tempest, Asteroids and Centipede. It also includes their library of Atari 2600 titles. Controls aren’t too bad, and the games are emulated pretty well.

The token system is pretty stupid, but if you spend $10 you’ll get all 100 games available to play anytime you want. Tokens? We don’t need no stinkin’ tokens.

Karate Champ

Oh, it’s so good … it’s sooooooo good. The original one-on-one karate game was a huge hit in arcades and it’s been faithfully ported over to iOS. It looks great on your iPhone, but wait until you see the iPad version.

Beautiful crisp graphics and responsive touch controls make every match just as intense and stressful as they were in the arcade. Now if only I could master that darn jump kick, I might actually get past the fifth stage.

Pinball Arcade

Surprised by my #1 pick? Who said the best retro arcade game had to be an arcade cabinet game? Pinball was just as incredible an experience as arcade games, and FarSight Studios has gone above and beyond with their faithful ports of Funhouse, Bride of Pinbot, Medieval Madness, Monster Bash and more.

New tables are being added every month, so the game is constantly being updated with the pinball classics you grew up playing. They even secured enough Kickstarter funds to get the rights to adapt the heralded pin The Twilight Zone.

If you’re an arcade junkie, you owe it to yourself to download Pinball Arcade. Believe me, you won’t be disappointed.

Summary:

Kids today would likely thumb their nose at this list and rightfully so. They are growing up games like Infinity Blade. While some of these developers have certainly used their historic cache to cash in, these apps have a place in arcade gaming history.
