Gunfire Reborn: The Indie Game That Continues to Captivate!

Gunfire Reborn’s longevity (in my opinion) can be attributed to its continued support and the developers dedication to its player base. I remember when there were only two playable characters... and they added on over time! Despite some people feeling that the cute, furry anime characters in this multiplayer FPS with RPG and rogue-lite elements give it a child-like feel, that's precisely part of its charm. I even had a hater throw shade my way for playing the game during the review window, but it got a hard shrug because... the game is fun when you and your team set out on your adventure. Gunfire Reborn stands out in the genre with a more anime visual style that sets it apart from more realistic titles.

If parents are wary of games like "Call of Duty" or "Battlefield" due to their realism, "Gunfire Reborn" offers an excellent alternative. It's rated T for Teen, and while I’m not certain about the age range of its player base, it's clear that Duoyi Games has found their tribe, allowing their indie dev team to keep the doors open with a game that lacks blood, gore, and more.

The official launch of "Gunfire Reborn" was on November 17, 2021. Now in its fourth season, the game boasts at least ten playable characters to choose from. If you haven't played it yet or want to introduce your teen to a different title, this game is available for $15 on PC until the end of January 2025. The system requirements are low, so you likely won’t need any hardware upgrades (but if you do... you really needed that upgrade). It’s also available on PlayStation, Xbox, iOS, Google Play, and Android APK with millions of copies sold. Since they crossed the 2.5 million copy mark in 2023... I assume its over 3 million copies sold by now, and I mention that because the player base is stronger than when I initially jumped in. If you're a veteran or haven't played in awhile, check out the new characters, weapons, and tweaks to the gameplay mechanics. Compare the gameplay above to the new additions seen in the gameplay you see here:

Stay tuned for more, and as always... game on!

Crash Bandicoot + Donkey Kong Country = Nikoderiko: The Magical World?

When I saw Nikoderiko: The Magical World's title art, it definitely grabbed my attention... and when I saw the trailer I was all in. The vibrant adventure evokes the charm of classic franchises like Crash Bandicoot and Donkey Kong Country, without feeling like a clone. Niko and Luna are charming characters with their own interesting adventure, and it doesn't feel like it's in the shadow of the greats. I'd call it Crash Bandicoot + DK Country-like.

In Nikoderiko, Niko and Luna stumble upon an ancient relic on a mystical island. However, their discovery is short-lived as the villainous Grimbald of the Cobring Gems Company snatches it away. To save the island and its tribes, the heroes must navigate through seven unique worlds, each filled with challenges and surprises.

Throughout their journey, Niko and Luna can collect and summon playable animal friends with unique abilities. These mounts serve as helpful rides and valuable allies in battle, adding an extra layer of strategy and fun to the gameplay. If gameplay is a little too tough, just switch up the difficulty, but... I think you've got this.

Nikoderiko offers a diverse range of worlds to explore, each with its own lovable characters, friendly areas, epic bosses, and various gameplay themes. From minecart rides to chase levels and underwater adventures, each world features iconic landmarks and boss-themed areas that give you a blast from the past in a new way. See it for yourself in this first 30 of... Nikoderiko: The Magical World:

Nikoderiko is a multiplatform game, available on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. No matter your preferred gaming device, you can join Niko and Luna on their magical quest.

Nikoderiko is designed with co-op in mind. The game features single-screen + couch co-op (and not that awkward co-op either), allowing friends and family to join forces and enjoy the adventure together. The whimsical and festive atmosphere is inviting to players of all ages.
