Dragon Bros
September 16, 2016
Action, 2D, Indie Games, Multiplayer, Splitscreen, Shoot 'em Up, Singleplayer.
A shoot'em up game developed by the independent developer Space Lizard Studio. In the game, the player assumes control of young dragons tasked with fighting an army of hostile robots called Mechaliches, who were able to conquer the protagonists' home planet and kidnap their mother. During the game, the character constantly moves rightwards, eliminates hordes of enemies, and avoids the ever-present obstacles. Of course, one's protégés are not defenseless - they acquire new power-ups allowing them to use machine guns, laser weapons, and cannons. Moreover, as one progresses through the game, they acquire points giving access to various special abilities assigned separately to each weapon. Dragon Bros allows the player to enjoy both single and cooperative local multiplayer modes. Interestingly enough, completed stages of the game can be replayed, e.g. to achieve a higher score - moreover, one can test their skills by playing the game on a higher difficulty level. As the game has been inspired by the classic shoot’em up games, it delivers old-school pixel-art visuals and the dedicated soundtrack written by Gabriel Caruso, who in his works combines modern sound with chiptune music.

Tannenberg
February 13, 2019
Action, FPP, FPS, Historical, World War I, Indie Games, Internet, Co-op, Multiplayer, Online, Shooters.
A standalone expansion to a well-received online FPS developed by BlackMill Games. Like in the base game, the action of Tannenberg takes the players to the World War I. However, this time around one gets to travel to the less known eastern front of the Great War and participate in the historical battles between the Russian Empire and the forces of Germany and Austria-Hungary. Apart from introducing a new faction, the biggest asset of this expansion in the entirely new theater of operations, which differs significantly from the battles that took place in the region surrounding Verdun that one might remember from the base game. Instead of trench warfare, the player gets thrown into more dynamic battles, taking place in large, open areas - in the woods and snow-capped plains - which significantly alters the nature of the gameplay. Other aspects of gameplay remain unchanged, so the level of realism and brutality, the character development mechanic, and the system of acquiring new pieces of gear remain the same. The game delivers a new mode, in which up to 64 players divided into two teams can fight each other on one map.

Among one’s duties, there are train and bus construction, planning routes and connections, as well as purchasing real estates like hotels, stadiums, and factories.

The key to success lies in finding the balance between investments and incomes. Additional aspects, proving the depth of A-Train Classic, are the realistic stock exchange and the flow of time systems, requiring players to maintain their business and renovate their assets.

During the game, one can attempt to solve puzzles, complete assignments that boost one’s skills, purchase better pieces of gear, and devote oneself to complete secondary tasks.
