This vertical arcade shooter is SEXY | First Impressions - XCUTE(me)

XCUTE(me) is a vertical shoot’em up featuring sexy female characters for both the heroes and the villains. Players can choose from a collection of four different executer-class “XCUTE” fighter ships with their own different types of shooting pattern, piloted by four different cute female fighters.

The gameplay is simple and can be playable with mostly one finger, occasionally two. Hold the screen to continuously fire and lift your finger to change projectile colors. Avoid all projectiles at all costs.

Matching the gun color to the enemy color will give more points, providing a sort of added challenge to the players instead of purely focusing on pure destruction. When the energy meter is full, two finger taps will release a powerful special move.

I found the gameplay fun and entertaining especially when you’re just amped by the absolutely metal soundtrack that caught me off guard and stole the show. Superbly adding an intense and exhilarating vibe to the game.

The soundtrack and gameplay go hand-in-hand and creates a dazzling experience of bullet hell mayhem that is forgiving to the player. Despite all the carnage, I somehow was able to survive and stay alive many times. Your fighter’s hitboxes are teeny-tiny; it’s just a single dot in the center of the fighter. This allows you to squeeze and “clip” your fighter into the smallest of openings and come out completely unscathed.

All in all, XCUTE(me) shouldn’t take you more than half a day of playing to complete, but its replayability is highly dependent on how you like the gameplay and how you like to replay the five stages. At a reasonable price of $5, It’s not asking much for a try, especially for shoot ‘em up aficionados.

Full Review will be posted soon here on Taptap! Stay tuned!

The best Avengers game without being one | Marvel's Midnight Suns - First Impressions

Sure, it is titled Marvel’s Midnight Suns, but don’t let the relatively inconspicuous title fool you. It is a full blown high-profile Marvel game packing a roster that features popular Marvel characters including Iron Man, Captain America, Doctor Strange, Wolverine, Spider-Man and The Hulk. As well as including less-known characters like Nico Minoru and Magik. All of these characters are fighting in a high-stakes interpersonal story involving the demon Lilith, the military organization Hydra, as well as throwing other heroes and villains into the mix.

Slice-of-life turned romantic fantasy against a 90’s Indonesian backdrop | A Space for the Unbound

A Space for the Unbound is the story of a boy and a girl — both with supernatural powers — in a slice-of-life turned fantasy romance adventure against a 90’s Indonesian backdrop. A nice change of setting from the usual Japanese-themed similar works of art, like the popular Makoto Shinkai Anime movies Your Name and Weathering with You, all embodied in video game format.
