Oops!... I died again. What’s the most hard game that you’ve ever played? These games are all about the thrill of finally overcoming an incredible challenge. But not before you try and fail. Over and over and over again.

It's just perfect!

Yes, yes, you should play this game! I want to share with you my expert opinion — after all, I have played Dead Cells on PC and since the release on phones. I can say that at the beginning of the release of this game there were a lot of unpleasant bugs and even crashes, but after numerous updates, the game has become just fine! About graphics — Cool pixel art, almost as good as the PC version. About the control — The usual control is quite convenient and you get used to it quickly, also in the settings you can customize it for yourself.  I can also note the support of geimpads in this game as a big plus. About optimization — I tried to play on my old phone and basically play very well (but be prepared to meet with the crashes of the game). Also — there are add-ons in the game, I bought two of them and do not regret them because they are very interesting (although you can do without them) My opinion is that this is a decent port from the PC, the game has wonderful music and atmosphere, memorable enemies and locations. In general, I advise...

Bleak Sword DX - Simple Premise, Challenging Execution

Hey Folks, Thanks for tapping & tuning in. As it stands, I recently went through more8bit's Bleak Sword DX, a vastly expanded version of the original IOS title. Boasting a fittingly bleak world, depicted in a lo-fi style- the game endeavours to provide a suitably challenging hack & slash experience for would-be heroes. But does it succeed at the task, or was this quest doomed from the start? Check out the video and find out. P.S.  If you want to see my other reviews, you can check out & Follow me @

What if an MMO had permadeath and bullet hell combat? Welcome to Darza’s Dominion

SHOULD I PLAY DARZA’S DOMINION? If you’re looking for a unique take on MMOs, Darza’s Dominion might be worth checking out, but I’d strongly recommend playing the PC version rather than mobile. This action-RPG mixes elements of massively multiplayer games with bullet hell action, permadeath, and pixel art. It makes for a very original experience, even compared to other retro MMOs like Realm of the Mad God

This retro hack-and-slash is one of the hardest games I’ve ever played - Bleak Sword DX Quick Review

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Skip it, unless you really love (and are really good at) fast-paced action games like Hades. Bleak Sword DX is an action-adventure hack-and-slash game that features a dark fantasy theme. I found its gloomy, pixel-art visual style appealing and pleasantly frightening, but most of the exhilaration I felt while playing was dragged down by punishing and frustrating game balance.

A disappointing co-op experiment for this spooky series - The Outlast Trials Quick First Impressions

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? I strongly recommend skipping The Outlast Trials for now, unless you have a group of three other friends who all love the previous Outlast games and who are all available to play together at the same time. The Outlast Trials is a bold experiment for developer Red Barrels, taking the basic elements of its stealth horror franchise and adding co-op and live service elements for the first time. Unfortunately, that experiment is a failure, at least in its current state.

A Bit Of Bleak Sword - A Sneak Peek

Hey there, Thanks for tapping into my latest stab at the indie gaming world- specifically, developer more8bit's hack and slash adventure, Bleak Sword DX. Essentially, this is a vastly expanded version of the original IOS game- with both new and remixed levels. But, I'm getting ahead of myself. A Bleak Future The story begins with the fall of a kingdom- courtesy of the Bleak Sword. This dread weapon had found it's way into the hands of a member of the royal family, the wretched weapon corrupting them so thoroughly, that they enthusiastically engage in a bit of familicide in order to ascend to the throne.

Steam users say this roguelike deck-builder is too hard - here’s why they’re wrong

I’ve been completely obsessed with Wildfrost since it came out, so I was surprised to discover it’s getting mixed reviews on Steam. According to reviewers, it’s wildly unbalanced. The heroes are too weak, the enemies are too tough, and the random elements make it impossible to build a solid deck. All of these things would be valid complaints, except for one teensy problem: they’re completely wrong.

A sloppy Vampire Survivors clone that apes Don’t Starve’s art style

SHOULD I PLAY WILD LEGION? In its current demo form, you’re safe passing on this one. Wild Legion is yet another Vampire Survivors clone, but it fails to capture a lot of elements that make this type of game actually click so strongly with players. On top of that, the best part of the game—its stylish visuals—appears to be lifted wholesale from Don’t Starve. PLAY IT FOR YOURSELF From December 23, 2023, through January 7, 2024, TapTap is running our Pocket Playfest Winter Edition. That means you don't need to take our review as the final word; you can try playing this game yourself!

A devious arcade shoot-em-up that had my head (and screen) spinning

If you suffer from vertigo or simply get dizzy easily, this may not be the game for you! Roto Force is controller- (or phone-)clenching shooter where I played as a tiny lil guy who could shift to the left or right on circular stages. As he moved, the entire perspective shifted along with him, so it almost looked more like I was moving the stage than my character. As if that wasn't enough to mess with my brain, I also had the ability to aim and rocket myself across the stage, quickly flipping my view upside down. It's more than a little bit disorienting. It's also, frankly, pretty brilliant.

VOIDIGO - JUST FEELS LIKE IT'S NOT AS FUN ANYMORE

Maybe it could just be a bit of a burnout streak. In that case it would only be my fault. But I would also blame the developers for not really thinking about the long term players, who have been playing since very early access when adding in new currencies. Consider following on other Social Media platforms for, Giveaways and more:

Remember Stargate? It's back—in real-time tactical game form!

For a certain type of dorky kid growing up in the '90s, the Stargate franchise was a formative gateway into goofy-yet-fun, low-budget sci-fi adventures. Beginning with the 1994 movie Stargate, the series quickly expanded out into multiple TV shows, comics, cartoons, books, and yes, video games. And while there hasn't been much going on with this IP in recent years, that's finally changing this week, as an all-new Stargate game has just launched...and you can even play the first mission for free.

Mega Man meets roguelike action in this brutally hard 2D platformer - 30XX Quick Review

SHOULD I PLAY 30XX? If you’re a fan of the Mega Man series, 30XX is a game you won’t want to miss! It’s basically a roguelite version of Mega Man X, and that combination is just as amazing as it sounds. Even if you’re not big on Mega Man, there are plenty of other reasons to check this title out, like the gorgeous graphics, smooth controls, and insanely addictive gameplay loop. If that’s not enough to sell you on the game, it also has a level editor, couch co-op, and online gameplay.

#TapTapExplorerS2

While the gameplay might not be suitable for a good amount of people because it's very difficult and frustrating, one must admit that the visuals and soundtrack of this game is top-notch. The pixel art is implemented in a way that makes you feel like you are in the levels itself. Every movement feels very smooth and realistic, sometimes even humorous. And the soundtrack is the  cherry on top. All this thrilling and action-packed music in the background definitely push the energy of the gameplay to the max. Heck, I think the reason I'm still grinding this game despite its crazy gameplay is because of the graphics and atmosphere. And especially with the game's constant update and fresh new DLCs, Dead Cells will never become old.

Note: These are my thoughts on this game, do not treat it as fact if you play the game. Likes: The story although convoluted, is impactful around all of the unnecessary text. 2. The combat isn't in depth, which would be strange for a tower defense game. 3. Although it's not in-depth, hoh boy, this game can be DIFFICULT. 4. It's a strategy game for the most part, which is very stimulating for those looking for a mental challenge, such as myself. 5. The characters look great! That's without them being sexualized like so many characters, male and female. 6. The music is superb! I love the default lobby music, it's just so relaxing. 7. A massive variety of characters with different skills and attack patterns, etc, make the game fun despite it being a tower defense game. 8. The game itself looks great! 9. The base function means that f2p players are not screwed, but it may take a while to progress. 10. The proxy annihilation cards make Orundum farming so much quicker! 12. It doesn't seem like that it places massive reliance on stats, I mean I generally can do levels below the recommended operator level. 13. The difficulty is something I seek, because of the feeling of accomplishing a challenge that I thought wasn't possible. 14. The challenge mode addition means that you can play through the game again upon completion but it will be even more difficult in the long run. Dislikes: No multi-farm mechanic. 2. Auto deploy is not always consistent. 3. You can only double the combat speed, which is the default speed in auto deploy, would like it if it could be faster. 4. No way as far as I have been able to see in which you can change your name more than once without spending money. Now, a few important notes/tips: This is a tower defense game, so if that's not your thing, you probably won't enjoy this. 2. The gameplay can indeed be grueling, so if you're easily discouraged, I encourage you to not give up. 3. Resources are rather scarce, especially the only currency which can buy skins, (originate prime) so use sparingly. 4. Five things you will have to learn: Order of deployment, location of deployment, timing of deployment and skills being activated, and team synergy (these five things are often necessary together). 5. Do not convert "originite prime" to "Orundum" or buy furniture with "originite prime" if you care about buying skins for operators. Finally, the story is dark, so it's not for the faint of heart. Also, I am in episode 2, as of the time I posted this review, so I haven't made it very far, and thus, I may update this as time goes on.

The Binding of Isaac meets Dark Souls in this addictive dungeon crawler

SHOULD I PLAY DEVIL SLAYER RAKSASI? Totally play this. Devil Slayer Raksasi takes the top-down roguelite approach of The Binding of Isaac and layers on a dark fantasy vibe that would be at home in a FromSoft game. This tough but addictive combination left me wanting to keep playing even after I’d wrapped up the demo. Thankfully it has multiple characters to try! PLAY IT FOR YOURSELF From December 23, 2023, through January 7, 2024, TapTap is running our Pocket Playfest Winter Edition. That means you don't need to take our review as the final word; you can try playing this game yourself!
