Move or Die is a 2D platformer where you compete within a succession of various modes with up to 4 players. Although this doesn't sound particularly new or exciting, the gameplay is super-tight and there's a nifty gimmick. As the title suggests, you must keep moving and whenever you stop, your health drains. This makes a lot of the modes especially difficult such as the one where you have to dodge falling red blocks because you can't just stand still out of harm's way. As you play, you'll level up and unlock wacky characters including a few licensed ones such as Rick and Morty and Shovel Knight. Whether I played solo, with local chums, or online; I had an absolute blast with Move or Die. My only complaint is that some of the stage layouts repeat a bit too often. Other than that, it's great.
Braveland Trilogy consists of 3 games: Braveland, Braveland Wizard, and Braveland Pirate. Each of these games basically follows the same formula: you fight a battle then navigate the node-based world map to enhance your party in some way then head to whichever battle you want to fight next. The battles themselves take place on hexagon-based playfields which is similar to the underrated Blackguards 2 although Braveland is far cuter. Anyway, commanding your party to inflict the most damage while staying defensive is fairly enjoyable yet the gameplay is far too simplistic to satisfy hardcore genre fans. However, I did enjoy increasing my unit counts, purchasing equipment, and learning new abilities, especially considering how limited resources are which creates an additional level of challenge.
Considering I already reviewed Assault Android Cactus when it released on PS4 3 years ago, I won't go into much depth here. Thankfully, the action-packed gameplay where you blast away robotic enemies while trying to maintain your battery level remains as enjoyable as before. The detailed visuals complete with big-headed android characters are great and the audio is super-satisfying, too, with spot-on effects and charming voice acting. What sets this Plus version on Switch apart from the original is that you can play it portably, it features a Campaign+ mode with different stages, and it supports many controller configurations. It's a must-have for any shooter fan.
The Walking Vegetables is a twin-stick shooter where you kill hordes of zombie-like vegetables. You do so either with firearms, grenades, or a baseball bat that you can also use to deflect certain projectiles back at your enemies. Additionally, you can get a local friend to join you which makes the gameplay a bit more fun. As you play, you'll acquire Skills that are unlocked by completing certain achievements and will help alleviate some of the difficulty. The core gameplay where you clear out areas of vegetables then move on to the next area within impressively large stage maps is definitely solid. That being said, I can't help but wish it didn't play as generically as it does. Dealing with wave after wave of kooky vegetable enemies gets old very fast although the boss fights are quite distinct and enjoyable.
Free Fire and Free Fire Max are some of the most popular mobile battle royale shooters out there. Although both games are unlisted on Google Play Store and App Store in India, players who had already installed the game before it was banned can continue to play it. The core gameplay loop involves your character jumping out of an airplane to be the last surviving player by gathering resources and eliminating opponents. Just like other games, Free Fire Max lets you make in-app purchases, buy skins for your character, and get weapons. Free Fire and Free Fire Max also let you make guilds with other players. The first thing you will need for your guild is a unique name that represents your squad. Here are some of the best and stylish Free Fire guild names as well as Free Fire Max guild names for you:
