Guts n Grunts throws you back into the classic Metal Slug-style gameplay, but with a twist: you're a hog armed with a machine gun fighting against humans trying to enslave animals. While the concept is unique and cool, the execution leaves something to be desired.
Mechanically, it's straightforward. You navigate various enemy bases, destroying their creations with your machine gun and grabbing powerups along the way for extra firepower. There are six worlds with three levels each, ending with challenging boss fights. Environmental hazards like treacherous deserts add to the challenge.
One highlight is the ability to upgrade your hog with key cards found throughout the levels, earning coins to unlock abilities like a double jump or more damage. This sense of progression adds depth to the gameplay.
However, the game falls short in a few areas. Despite the unique concept, it feels like any other set of characters could have been used, missing an opportunity for deeper immersion. Some boss fights require specific abilities to defeat, but you can progress without obtaining them, leading to frustration later on.
The game's length is also a downside, clocking in at just 2 hours for $6, which may feel steep for some players. Additionally, the process of obtaining key cards can be tedious, especially if you die and have to backtrack to find them again.
Overall, Guts n Grunts offers a decent experience with enjoyable gameplay and controller support, but the excitement wears off quickly. While it may not be worth the full price, it could still be worth a try if you're in the mood for a short and unique shooting experience, despite its minor setbacks.

Card Hog - Dungeon Crawler is good but could use a story....
Card Hog - Dungeon Crawler is a bit confusing at the start with a subpar tutorial. The main objective is to just survive as long as you can by interacting with cards that are adjacent to your character card. You will face enemies and traps, along with loot drops and merchants. It has some slight RPG elements to it but nothing overly complicated. My problem with the gameplay is that there is no clear sense of goal. You never feel like you're progressing towards anything. The game has a few different dungeon levels for you to play through, but they all are generally the same concept... which is just try and survive. The game would have been better if you had levels to complete which would then give you a storyline for the character.
