By Alex Spencer

PC; Replicant D6This GoldenEye 007-styled retro shooter is an agreeable set of straightahead shooting missions that hark back to a simpler time, with simpler controls

I don't do many preorders of anything, but I love the hell out of shooting games of all kinds- sometimes I gotta jump. Dezatopia came out in 2020 and I've had it on both my Switch and Steam wishlists digitally since then, it's supposed to be great. It's actually the very FIRST thing on my Switch wishlist from all those years ago! So when I heard it was coming out physical with Mecharitz, it was a no brainer. Sure, it took a long time to get here (I preordered in July and just got it now in December). But to me, the wait was worth it. In addition to the cartridge with both games and a manual, it came with another separate book, a CD of the soundtrack, and a poster.

So psyched to try both of these.

Final Zone「(FZ戦記アクシス」is a great looking retro inspired isometric shooter from Ratalaika (can't really go wrong with most of their games) that just came out on Steam (and it's on consoles, too, including Switch). It's fairly inexpensive, too (less than $5 right now), and on sale for a few more days.
